It may seem ironic that after weeks of celebrating the High Holidays (Rosh Hoshanna, Yom Kippur, Sukkot), Israel appears to have received an answer that doesn't reflect the divine requests for favor upon her people. But as it was in the beginning, don't be fooled. We are very close to the Day of Moshiach.
1) Acts of Kindness - Just be kind. It's not that hard. How would you like to be treated?
I have even had to resort to using this back up blog as Google has taken to "censoring" our posts at OneCrownz.Blogspot.com. It seems ironic in a "free world" in a country that gives its people (American Citizens) the Constitutional Right to free speech, but there it is. I will not be deterred and neither should you, O' Israel.
At this post, most shuls have started the reading of the Torah from the beginning (Genesis/Bere'shit). We will also be sharing the Torah portions which can usually be seen on our Twitter page @SoRichiam_Media. In addition to the Torah portion of the week, we will sometimes supplement it with readings from other parts of the Tanakh as well.
We may not always be on the exact same page as others but we will move you along so that your soul is "fat enough" to break any encumbrances you may or may not be experiencing. This often happens when you are about to go to the next level.
Spiritually speaking, there are some who prefer you broke, broken, and lazy to be their personal slave and sidekick. But if you've chosen destiny, Almighty GOD will help you.
That brings me to the point about education. There is no current blueprint (other than Torah/Tanakh) to prepare for the next era. This is the fourth attempt by humanity to get it right. The previous three times, humanity decided they were more competent than GOD.
However, there are a handful of wise people who have chosen a spiritual path. That handful is just enough to get the ball rolling in the right direction. I am confident more will be added soon.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8
2) When GREEN (not GREED) is GOOD.
They have realized that with all the technological advances, most corporations and governments have "advanced themselves right into a circle of confusion". They are still trying to profit the few at the expense of the many.
Therefore, without any other agenda except the well being of society,community, and humanity, those on a spiritual path have made a "divine partnership" that is pulling them way ahead of the pack. They are not bound up in the red tape of power and greed. They realize. This is for the survival of the human race.
They see the need. They are taking the steps, and GOD is helping them fulfill the plan.
3) Support child-hood education year round.
Everything is changing so fast. Education should not be for a privileged few. Every child should be given the opportunity to receive a good education. That said. Provide a year round salary for those teachers. They deserve the summer months off with paid salary. They spend half the time preparing for the next school year. They deserve a few weeks to recover.
Teachers should not have to secure a second and third job to support themselves while doing "God's Work" in helping you develop your children and the next generation to thrive in society. As you know, teachers are often the first to spot any emotional or behavioral problems in your children. In addition to that, they are keeping the entire class on track as a whole.
It's a lot to ask for so little support they are given in return. That too, says so much about the current affairs of most societies. There are some that have already corrected this. I hope your community does so too.
4) Support Torah education year round.
Torah and Tanakh education goes way beyond being "inspired" every week. If you have been visiting a particular class for s daily or weekly "soul tune up", then you know how impactful it can be. We all need it. We just don't all know it yet. Giving Tzedakah to those places that teach Torah is a kind of spiritual insurance that only GOD can guarantee (see Malachi 3:10). I can not tell you where to give, nor will I over explain it.
Torah/Tanakh education and teachings are free to the general public so the poor can have access. If you have a regular salary and you dine on spiritual food, you should be giving your tithe (ten percent of your income) to those places that serve (cover) you.
The first ten percent goes to the tithe. Send a another ten percent to your retirement fund. Any other charitable giving after that is at your discretion. See My Love is One TELL THEM! Part 3 for more details.
Society is becoming more cyclical. The government already knows they can not handle the population growth, but GOD can. However, we are given free will to participate in GOD's plan.
Most people think tzedakah means charity. It actually "includes charity". But it actually means to do what is just, right, and fair. Thank about it.
Don't get me wrong; the benefits that you and your family receive in your overall well being, business, and finances is going to be monumental. Just know that every day is a new day with the Creator. Don't every be self-satisfied. Keep growing. Keep moving forward. Only compete with yourself.
So give daily (within your means of course) if you can. Most places can help you set up automated giving (daily, weekly, monthly, or annually). Get in the flow. That's all I'm saying. You can always discontinue, change, or add your place(s) of giving. *(If you can afford a Taylor Swift or Beyonce concert ticket, then I assure you, you can add this life changing skill too.) Try it. I dare you.
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7
We've concluded the general house maintenance issues. Now, let us begin.
We will read the Books of Genesis through Deuteronomy (a.k.a Torah) between now and Passover 2024 (5784). All of the Laws are within the first five books. You only need memorize the Ten Commandments and the Seven Noahide Laws.
Your soul will recognize the rest and pick up along the way. It's intended to be that way. You are literally training your soul. We are going to start at the top ... in the beginning (Genesis).
Today's reading is Genesis Chapters 1-6. When you read Genesis Chapters 1-6, keep in mind what we mentioned above on this post.
There is a "divine order" to all creation. When you attempt to change the order, GOD reminds you who designed the original blue print. We actually get to co-create but according to the Rules put into place at the beginning. They are Tools of Instruction. Like I said, plastic seemed like a good idea at first. Right. Now humanity is sitting in a pile of landfill.Try again.
Also, try to stay focused on the words on the page. Read less commentaries. Allow the words to penetrate your soul. There is another conversation. If it doesn't make sense, say so. Literally, "talk to Torah". Yes, talk to the Book. It sounds odd. But it will answer...... eventually.
For example, if God is without beginning and without end, then why does the Book of Genesis start with the words, "In the Beginning"? That would be a valid question.
Perhaps it's because of the multiple "over translations" (Latin, Greek, English, your Language etc) of the Bible. The Ancient Scrolls actually say, "With Wisdom God Created the heavens and the earth". Genesis 1:1. Does that help? I hope so.
That's all you need for now. Be sure to get in the flow.
Mazel, Bracha, and Sweet Sholom,

Suggested reading is Genesis Chapters 1-6
Shema Yisrael Adonai Eluheinu. Adoni echad.
Listen Israel. The LORD our GOD is One.
