32. "Part
of the harvesting process involves letting go of old grudges, doing
one's energy budget and figuring out how much energy is tied up in
not forgiving. This is all part of what I call "life repair," which
also includes paying attention to intergenerational relationships
and finding the pearls in anxious memories."
"One of the things I ask people who are getting older
is, "Are you saved?" Most of them haven't done any mentoring or
journal writing, so when the plug gets pulled, all that memory in
(biological) RAM is gone. So we need to upload it!
"You know, crazy as it may seem, if you've been
reincarnated a couple of times and you haven't graduated, it may be
because you have incompletes in your eldering!
"Spiritual eldering carries with it special
opportunities; it means acting as guide, mentor, and agent of
healing and reconciliation on behalf of the planet, nation, tribe,
clan, and family. We become wisdom keepers." Classic -written by
Reb Zalman

Socialized Meditation Reb Zalman quote from the Contemplative
Net Project:
Most of the time, when people
do meditation, it's such a solitary thing and they're cut off from
other people. But let us say a couple or two friends go into that
space and they share with each other as these things are arising,
and there is this kind of dialogue that comes out of deep
spiritual intimacy, so it is meditative and it is contemplative,
but it's also socializing. It creates a bond between people who
can share such depth and integrity."

"Several years ago, my Rebbi, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, asked
the question: What is the appropriate
mezuzah

place at the doorway of this new miracle space to remind us of its
sanctity and power as we enter and leave it? " Candy Lobb's web site
offers an answer from R. Karpov. |
