I was going to write a long post, but a buddy, Steve, came in to tell me I knew nothing about WordPress. I showed him that I knew how to post, but now my time is gone and I gotta go. So… I’ll write about what I really want to write about tomorrow…

Okay, I’m back! The Kabbalah Centre speaks a lot about the light and bringing the light one’s life. The connection to “the light” affects one’s life in very positive ways, and it can also influence one’s family members and family relations. A higher level spiritual existence will also bring tranquility and peace to your life.
One aspect of life that cannot be avoided is conflict between people. Sometimes conflicts are unavoidable, and sometimes they are even justified.  Michael Berg of the Kabbalah Center deals with conflict resolution, giving advice as to what to do in moments of dispute. His recommendation is not to react in moments of conflict, but rather to take some time to calm down first. One must learn from every scuffle, and always remember “no family is perfect.”

I studied Zohar yesterday - well almost, more like read a section of it.

As I see it has already been mentioned, the Zohar is the primary work of the Kabbalah. It is  written in Hebrew and primarily Aramaic (an ancient Semitic language similar to Hebre), and it is a work of great depth and symbolistic content.

My desire to study Kabbalah and specifically the Zohar is connected to my idea to improve myself as a person. I have heard I have also heard Rav Berg and the faculty  of his Kabbalah Centre speak of improving the world… so, it sounds good to me and inspired me.

The Jewish prayer book has some passages of the Zohar incorporated into the prayer service. I took a look at the English translation of one of these, but I didn’t understand it. I got the the literal meaning of the words (as they were translated in the prayer book) but not the depth and significance. It’s a start.

Sometimes I wake up and I realise that I just love life! It is a good thing - because I am much happier with my wife and kids and they are happier in general when I am happy and feeling fulfilled.

So, what is the secret? I don’t know! But inner peace and quiet are certainly major factors. Also, going on a spiritual quest does something.

How do you attain inner peace? Well, I am turning to Kabbalah… I’ll let you know how that goes!
