My opinions, updates on my life, all sorts of "randomness"...

Now before I even write this, I realize that not everyone is going to appreciate it, but it's so crazy that I just had to share...

When I was in Israel at the hostel in Tel Aviv, I met this kid Joshua. He was a Tarot card reader, but he also had these meditation cards with The 72 names of G-d on them. I was feeling like I needed something spiritual, so while he was doing a Tarot reading for someone, I pulled out a card and read the name on it. The card had a three-letter name of G-d, and a meditation to read. Mine was Vav Hey Vav, and the meditation was perfect, exactly what I needed.

Tonight I decided to look up the name, and see if I could find that meditation again. I searched online, and found it. Now here's the crazy part... It was on a website that linked the meditations with horoscopes, and there it was, under Cancer, my horoscope! Now the website is run by some reverend, and I don't even believe in horoscopes, but it still just seemed so...perfect, that I had to share.

This "spiritual stuff" also fits in with the article I'm working on for the JN, on Jewish renewal. Totally fascinating. Tough to describe, but fascinating.

Vav Hey Vav Meditation: “I awaken remorse in my heart for prior misdeeds. I accept the frank spiritual truth that problems in my life are the result of past actions. By concentrating on this Name I will now uproot the negative seeds that I’ve already planted and in doing so I transform my past, reshape the present, and create a future full of joy and fulfillment.”
