A school bus crashes, and everyone walks away without a scratch.  A couple trying to conceive for ten years gives birth to a healthy baby boy.  A man diagnosed with terminal cancer lives 20 healthy happy years longer than expected.  A CEO of a major corporation goes 24 hours without screaming, shouting, or unnecessarily firing an employee.

Which of the above is the greatest miracle?   I am not going to answer that question.  Rather, I am going to let you make it happen. 

This week 3,500 years ago, Moses and the Israelites faced a crucial decision:  drown in the Red Sea before them or be slaughtered by the Egyptians behind them.  As Moses cried out to God for salvation, the Creator responded with the famous line, "Why are you shouting at me?"

At that moment, a single solitary man took slow steps toward the sea.  As the water reached his chin, the sea began to split.

So, I ask you, who dunnit?  God?  Moses?  The Israelites?

The lesson here is God is an infinitely powerful force.  You create your own miracles when you successfully connect to this infinite force of goodness -- connection being the key concept here.

When that man walked into the water, he wasn't committing suicide, he was using his certainty and his own discomfort to enter the realm of miracles.

It is our effort, our work, our physical, emotional, and spiritual exertion that bring about the unexpected in our world.  No matter where you are looking for something extraordinary to happen, you've got to remember that miracles don't happen to you, you happen to miracles. 

On any given day of the year, through your effort of maintaining a strong consciousness and connection to the Light, you can create your destiny.  That ability is strengthened this week when the same window in time that the Israelites walked through at the Red Sea opens for you too.

In life there are always mountains and molehills to climb.  It is easy to see how to get over the molehills.  But when you are standing at the foot of the mountain called cancer, divorce, bankruptcy, hopelessness, or whatever you perceive as insurmountable, you need to ask yourself the question:

"Do I really believe what I am learning in Kabbalah can help me make this happen?"

None of us can say "I have mastered certainty," but the degree to which we can say yes is the degree to which we can perform astounding feats.

Are you going to stare at that mountain forever?  Get going…
