Spiritual seekers know the importance of meditation.  It allows one to be in the moment, to connect with the collective consciousness, to connect to Adonai.  Buddhists claim not to believe in Adonai; however, it seems to me, from all I have read about Buddism, it speaks of G-d all of the time, just not in the same language, or perhaps with the same understanding the Abrahamic religions have.

If you have been reading my works, you know I am not trying to quibble or even argue, as this would be divisive, and the world needs to come together right now.  While focusing on this theme, I have no problem speaking my mind - you might have noticed - and I don’t doubt some people disagree with some of my statements.  In order to meditate, you must be open and calm.  It is only when our minds and hearts are open we may begin the journey towards not just knowledge - although it is important - but also towards wisdom and understanding.  For those Kabbalists out there, it is the triangle of Da’at, Binah, and Chochmah.

There are many ways to meditate, but remember, it is not as important how you do it as it is that you do it.  Prayer is a type of meditation:  some use music, drumming, walking, along with numerous other methods.  There is no one correct way.  It is in the spirit of connecting I am sharing some pictures I have taken of interesting, even miraculous things, which happen all of the time to each one of us, which we only notice when we are completely in the moment.  Just for clarification, something is miraculous if it is not what is normally expected, if it is a familiar object in a strange place with no obvious way of arriving there, or anything or anyone which, when noticed, touches one deep inside, and they make us smile when they happen.  Most likely, I have not given you a complete definition, but my goal is to start you on your journey, or join with you on this journey of yours towards healing and peace. 

Any words, or poems of meditation, are original, and the pictures are ones I have taken.  Some of these are also found in my books.  Until one is at peace with oneself, one cannot be at peace with the world(s).  Thank you for allowing me the chance to be a part of your life!

Spiritually Yours,
