It's the hiding that prompts the revelation..... It's the chaotic scatteredness that manifests the unity... It's the aimlessness that inspires the direction .... It's the mortality that gives birth to the true living... It's the G-dlessness that discovers the G-dliness..... It's the depression that leads to the ecstacy..... It's the hate that unleashes the love……. It’s the limitation that enables the expression of Infinity… 2022-11-30T04:35:34Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz It’s the no-saying that liberates the yes saying…. It’s the containment that forces out the birthing… It’s the constriction that that emanates the creation…. It’s the confusion that enlightens the clarity…. It’s the loneliness that discovers the bonding…. It’s the natural that unleashes the supernatural….. It’s the lacking that brings on the completion….. It’s the conformity that causes to emerge the uniqueness….. It’s the imperfection that arouses the perfection….. It’s the multiplicity that elucidates the oneness…. It’s the opposite that reveals the sameness…. 2022-11-30T04:35:17Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz IF YOU KNOW ***If you know how to walk in between the rain-drops If you know how to see all the dark --as really being light If you know how to feel the fear --as being the key to unlock it all If you know how to touch the untouchable place inside If you know how to hear goodness in between the lines of life's dark messages If you know how to taste the bitterness as actually being sweetness **Then you will be able to always dwell in the inner sanctum reserved for the chosen few where all is light where all is right 2022-11-30T04:35:01Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz LISTEN TO THE DARKNESS ***listen to a whole new voice opening inside of you quiet and subtle at first but growing in intensity a birthing the birth screams of Mashiach happening deep inside you ***listen to the darkness all the darknesses of your life calling you from a distance at first but steadily coming closer growing bolder you've always kept them at a distance but something has shifted you can now see right through them when you don't take your eyes off of them even for a second 2022-11-30T04:34:44Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ***that's when you become friends that's when the angels in charge of your pain and suffering surrender to you and they have no choice but to yield to your penetrating stare and the walls of illusion and delusion and dissolution and confusion come tumbling down just because you know that underneath that pain that hurt there lies a light from Above a light that keeps everything in existence 2022-11-30T04:34:26Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THESE SECRETS ***and the Angel of death revealed to Moses the supernal ways these secrets the Ketoret the holy spices the sublime combinations of goodness and badness meshed together in sacred light and dashed away the darkness of the endless exile night 2022-11-30T04:34:05Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak

of you now in the time of messianic birthing and let the roar encourage you to say never more will I take my eyes away from the golden gate that is open to one and all just walk on through that door ***the price of admission is submission to His Mysterious ways the secret code is believing believing is seeing and seeing is believing 2022-11-30T04:33:49Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ***and upon looking inside I see a familiar sight the story of my life a sight to behold solid gold something I know something that lights up my way but like so many other days I just look away because it's easier that way ***but on this particular day I stare it straight in the face and I am transported to a brand new place to a brand new way and all I hear all day long is the sweetest song –urging me to look inside –always look inside until I find my way my one and only way 2022-11-30T04:33:33Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz INSIDE OF THE DARKNESS IS LIGHT *******inside of the darkness is light ********a light that has been patiently waiting to shine since the beginning of time ************and this light will guide us all to see that what seems to be wrong is ultimately right

everything comes out to be just like it should 2022-11-30T04:33:12Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THE POETRY OF NAMES Dear parental bearers of the holy spirit---the spirit that allows you to let the appropriate child's name roll off of your tongue—and the Holy One----takes the name and sets it into motion ----fashioning it into a procession of life events….a face among a myriad of faces----tracing it's providential comings and goings back to it's name-----and the minute that the name came into being----the soul became free to tread on to her path of destiny---and the World with all of it's potpourri of interconnections and preconceptions----shifts into a specific direction ----whose only intention was to paint a masterpiece that would be framed by this person's name ---and from that point on---nothing will ever remain the same ----and the masters of the Good Name can detect by the way the name rolls off of their tongues ---what is to be this one's fate---what is to be the song that will be sung 2022-11-30T04:32:54Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz AND WHEN THE WORDS ROLLED ACROSS HIS TONGUE **and when the words rolled across his tongue and reverberated upon his lips he knew whether it was going to be this that he prayed for or something else altogether *inspiration at the corners of our eyes interpretations based on our ability to see the signs to hear the sighs inundating our lives **intuition a premonition an inherent predilection a succinct and clear prediction of what is unfolding right in front of our eyes 2022-11-30T04:32:40Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz NAMES Our Matriarchs Leah and Rachel gave names to their children --the Tribes of Israel based on their current relationship with Yaakov upon conception Names whisper to someone their name when they are deep asleep their soul hears their name and they awaken Names the vortex of the complexity and and diversity of life converges in our name Names the slightest change of a name reframes all of our fate now and forever Names what's in a name? a combination of letters that hold all of the light and all of the life that we connect to our entire lives 2022-11-30T04:32:20Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz Names so why name the all important Tribes of Israel with names depicting a couple's connection at the time of conception? perhaps it's all about intention perhaps all conception is about one's intention.... perhaps all intention bonds with conception to transform a potential vision into a holy manifestation perhaps we can now see how the Holy tribes of Israel were conceived with the holiest intentions 2022-11-30T04:32:01Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THE WORDS REVEAL THE STORY OF OUR LIVES **the words unravel a deeper level profound insights hidden in the recesses of the subconscious mind 2022-11-30T04:31:40Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ***and we speak our way into consciousness our words our flashes of brilliance our conceptual conceptions tap into the wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing of an unmistakable knowing ***and the greatest of the seers and sages across the spectrum of time and the ages see how the words spoken reveal the story of our lives ANGELS WINGS **and he knew that when he told her all that he's going through her words of prayer would pull him through **and she knew that his holy words created holy vessels and angel's wings and could turn anything into G-dly beings 2022-11-30T04:31:23Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz NAMES---slightly revisited Names; so what's in a name? the secret code to one's soul the essence of all that you know the subtext the pretext the context the conquest the quintessence the luminescence the legacy the intensity the secret recipe the password the still small voice that's heard the silence that precedes the word the discovery the testimony the light at the end of the tunnel the inner channel the alive one inside the real reason that you are alive 2022-11-30T04:31:05Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THE POETRY OF MIRACLES [*for chodesh kisleiv—the month of miracles*] Dear magic , mystical meditative, musical miracle makers---the miracles are now at hand -here in the Holy Land and across all of time and space ---every day they increase incrementally---with each new light that we see---with each new day that goes by—believe it and you will see it ----the extraordinary realms are knocking upon your door---- 2022-11-30T04:30:44Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ----open up and let them in---the incomprehensible and the impossible are reaching out their hands to become your best friends…….and when you allow your "I" to disappear---it will become absolutely clear to you that here on the edge of the ordinary---on the border of the extraordinary----you can see the distant lights on the horizon----there dwells in in that magic place the citizens of the miraculous---no passports are required to get in-----there is only one thing you have to know---that the heart and soul of miracle living –is when you are truly giving yourself over completely to the Ain Od Milvado---to know and to see that there is no one else but His Majesty 2022-11-30T04:30:24Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BRAND NEW MIRACLE MAKER ***she looks at him right between the eyes ***she knows that he has seen something in a way that he rarely sees otherwise ***she knows that he is inspired –and he goes on to tell her that he can't find the right words to describe it---but what he does know is that his life has changed somehow----even if it's ever so slightly 2022-11-30T04:30:02Z
