HIDDENNESS ***he greater the obstacle the greater the desire to make it work ***the greater the hurdle the greater is the passion to get it done ***the greater the obstruction the greater is the vision to realize the goal ***the greater the darkness the greater is the light that hides on the other side that will shine away all the darkness ***the greater the hiddenness the greater the revelation that waits to shatter the illusion that there is anything else but His Divine Majesty *** the greater the complication the greater is the simplicity that will be discovered when we learn to uncover the veil 2021-11-25T05:44:51Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz LIGHTING UP THE DARKNESS OF MY LIFE ***looking inside I mean really looking really deep inside and finding a spark a spark that ignites all the other sparks a flash of light lighting up the darkness of my life in the middle of the night when all are asleep when all is silent devoid of direction stripped of intention ***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 2021-11-25T05:44:32Z 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 ***********is actually the very best thing we could ever hope to have **********and He saw all that He Created was good but when He saw this darkness light He saw that it was very good and that everything comes out to be just like it should 2021-11-25T05:44:12Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz LIGHT DEEP IN 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 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 2021-11-25T05:43:57Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz you can now see right through them when you don't take your eyes off of them even for a second 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 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 2021-11-25T05:43:41Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz and the messianic light is being born inside of us and the birth pangs distract us but the promise of a better day of a higher way of an endless voice guides us listen to the lion inside 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 2021-11-25T05:43:00Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ENTRENCHED . ***So we go through this world Trying to find the lost sparks of reality .... ***But the lost sparks are entrenched in brokenness ... ***Those lost parts of our souls They are entrenched They are inhibited They are stuck in an incarcerated web Inside of some lost part of reality ***Trapped inside of some nether world of brokenness ... ***And they themselves are so bright They are so brilliant And they are so hopeful that they can be liberated that they can come back home ... ***and when we see each other truly see then we free each other's sparks we melt away the division we overlook the confusion we facilitate the fusion we accelerate the solution ... ***and those happy sparks get a free pass to go back home to you and me and set our souls free, 2021-11-25T05:42:20Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz HAPPINESS HIDES INSIDE TRAPPED PLACES *** *happiness hides inside trapped places when we mine the hidden confine-ments with an urgency that leaves us no choice but to penetrate deep inside the world of lies and deception and dive into the dark pockets of stale memories *** * then we can unleash sweet love from the endless night and behold the most stunning and spectacular sight a transformation of dark into light a rejuvenation that allows our souls to take flight because happiness hides inside trapped places 2021-11-25T05:41:56Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz 36 [*The Hidden Light --revisited*] 36 is the number of hours that Adam lived with the Ohr Haganuz--- the hidden light that opened up his eyes to see the expanse of time, soul and space 36 is the number of times that the Torah mentions light---the inner dynamic that lights up our lives 36 is the number of candles that we light on Chanukah's eight nights--- the Holiday that gives us eyes to see in the dark of this long exile night 2021-11-25T05:41:38Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz 36 is the number of tractates of the Tamud Bavli ---the heart of the Oral Torah that opens up our eyes to see the whole picture of the endless detailed picture of reality 36 is the number of hidden Tsadikim [Saints] ---thes eoteric human beings that keep the World spinning 36 is the secret recipe that transcends time that keeps us all alive that shines from one end of life to the other and enables us to uncover; the whole story and beyond the transcendent Space above the Sun Divinity hiding inside the mundane Infinity ensconsed in the finite plains the darkness' role of revealing the hidden light His splendid glory waiting to be discovered in everyone's lives 2021-11-25T05:41:09Z 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 ***and she notices that his gait is lighter… 2021-11-25T05:39:28Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ..his eyes are brighter….his words oscillate a bit faster ***a story is told of a man who's very touch of anything –turns it into gold….well---her man was a bit like that ---and in time—she could see that all that came his way –in life---came almost effortlessly ***and he began to swim in the Sea of a new way of seeing----and things came to him miraculously----and with the passing of time-----he realized that everything was miraculous….everything was Divine benevolence revealed ***and miraculous living was his new home ……..she knew it would happen to him one day soon 2021-11-25T05:39:13Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz EXTRAORDINARY ****let’s learn how to live in an extraordinary way…. ***let’s reach out beyond

Yitzchak Schwartz BELIEVE **** the more we believe, the more that we and the world become redeemed **** the more we believe, the more that miracles become a part of our daily reality **** the more we believe, the more that wholeness becomes the dominant feature in our lives **** the more we believe, the more that spiritual and monetary wealth become commonplace for us **** the more we believe, the more that we sense higher consciousness **** the more we believe, the more that Divine providence surrounds us **** the more we believe, the more that we are safeguarded from the lies and deception of this world **** the more we believe, the more that oneness slowly but surely replaces scatteredness **** the more we believe, the more that life takes on an aura of holiness 2021-11-25T05:38:16Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ON THE EDGE ***on the edge you will find the way to another place to another day ***on the edge of the ocean a virgin land beckons to be explored ***on the edge of consciousness a voice long forgotten leaves an impression of days gone by *** on the edge of sleep you can fly you can traverse time and space ***on the edge of love you can still choose to lose yourself in love or to walk the tight-rope of wait and see ***on the edge of birth the last vestiges of the womb cocoon whisper to you to never forget what you learned here 2021-11-25T05:37:55Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THE INCOMPREHENSIBILITY OF IMPOSSIBILLITY ***impossible--it can't be done you should've know that from the start ***impossible--scolds every last vestige of sanity and practicality left inside of you ***but you see those irresistible eyes and you hear that beckoning voice somewhere deep inside in the way you used to think deep in the way you used to go immersed in things you used to know 2021-11-25T05:37:37Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ***so you cast all caution to the wind and you decide to jump on in like your brothers and sisters did once upon a time in another space and time without reason or rhyme just because they had to there was no turning back but really they're all with you here and now their courage melts your fear as you wipe the sweat off of your brow ***you can feel all of them in every breath you take in the decision that you make ***and you awaken a bit confused did you win or did you lose you look around and find yourself on the other side still breathing still alive impossible --it can't be done they told you with certainty but you put your trust in THE ONE and now you find yourself in a brand new way of being a brand new way of seeing 2021-11-25T05:37:20Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz WHEN ''I'' DISAPPEAR when me as being the do-er of what I do disappears there is no pain there is no fear and when the see-er no longer sees that they are the ones seeing cuz there is a deeper inner feeling at the center of my being when the sense of being alive has no return to sender address nevertheless life is at it's best when it's not compressed into being about me into center-ing it around my identity that's when we become euphorically free because right now, there is no we and there is no I say bye bye to the I Enjoy the view it's in endless supply I don't know why but the life force inside is keeping perfect time spectacular rhyme it happens every time I let go of the I 2021-11-25T05:36:09Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THERE IS NOTHING ELSE cause and effect keeps it all in check as long as we choose to see that this is the only way to be but if you want to set yourself free and try out a whole new way to be then allow yourself to see that at the core of reality is that there is nothing else but Gd in His Divine Majesty 2021-11-25T05:35:26Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz Ain Od Milvado there is nothing else you need to know except that Gd is running the entire show not just the highs and lows not just the fast and slows not just the stops and goes not just cuz I say so but truth be told to thee I exclaim rather boldly There really is nothing else but His Majesty and to the extent that you allow yourself to see to that extent all of your reality will be nothing short of miraculous actuality stupendous factuality not speculative surreality don't believe me open up your own eyes to see 2021-11-25T05:34:42Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz THE POETRY OF YOSEF THE TSADIK [**and other such phenomena**] Dear Tsadikim …Dear righteous ones….I know you all are….Yosef the Tsadik is in out DNA….I know that you have it in you [even if you are not yet aware]….look inside…..see your

divisibleness into indivisible-ness---always shining your light ----a splendid sight you are—a bouquet of beauty you are ….a bundle of love 2021-11-25T05:32:53Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz YOSEF ***Yosef and every tsadik takes your ohr, your light, and they sow it up. They sow you up into something you never figured you could be. Light is sown for the Tsadik Or zaruah la tsadik light is sown for the righteous ***Yosef is that place that unites. That place that has relationships-- rather than staying away. That place inside that says yes instead of no. That place inside of us that says go for it. 2021-11-25T05:28:37Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz ***Yosef was and is the mashbir--the feeder.... He feeds the entire world Because he is that kind of a person, that kind of force of nature that draws down, shefa \ abundance a shefa of people, a shefa of tikuning, a shefa of money a shefa of paradising in your life. ***Yosef is a tsadik and when you connect with a tsadik, the tsadik is looking at you. When you connect with a tsadik, the tsadik is looking at you with ex ray eyes; who you are, who you were and who you are going to be. Feels incredibly vulnerable and at the same time like the best tikkun in the world. 2021-11-25T05:28:02Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz SHALOM Raise up those lost parts of our soul We have been in caged And en- raged For so long We have not been able to speak our minds Stand us up in our place Raise us up to a good life in peace Give us some coping tools Hashem Help us when we are down in that dark and confused place Help us how to find that light Help us cling to you and understand that this is the best possible place we can ever be because there is so much opportunity All the non-alikes are connected and unified in that place All those things and people that see things differently When the shalom comes and rains down their heads are able to sit, talk in shalom Be in shalom All the complex situations That can never seem to be solved Come together in this Incredible and cradling shalom In this place of shalom …. in this reproductive place of shalom 2021-11-25T05:16:25Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz EXPANSION **Yisrael and Yosef were all about more They were all about expansion He said to that angel “bless me” after beating him in the cosmic wrestling match He asked the angel to bless him He said no longer will you be only Yaakov No longer will you walk through life In your constricted state alone but you will walk in an expanded state of mind You will also be Yisrael **Yosef's very name means to add To expand To be more The Tsadik expands life The Tsadik penetrates the constriction And transforms it into expansion 2021-11-25T05:15:40Z Comment by Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz **If we want to walk into an expanded state of mind If we want to step into a place of expansion We have to begin to utilize what is right in front of us, what is right inside us We have to open up what we see to be able to see more We have to open up what we feel to be able to feel more We have to open up what we know to be able to know more We have to open up to what we sense to be able to sense more We have to first expand our senses then expand our mind If we could be able to see what there is to see right before us right in front of us right around us all the time We would be flabbergasted We would be blown away If we were to be walking through life in a state of absolute consciousness at all times We would be walking through life in a state absolute healing at all times 2021-11-25T05:09:31Z
