KosherTorah = Sane Religion
Sane Religion = Sane Living
Sane Living = A Better Life!
Kosher Torah is an online "boot camp tough" educational
resource, to make you the best you can be... and to live life
accordingly!
We emphasize the development of strong moral character as being the foundation,
purpose and meaning of every religious & mystical teaching.
Proper behavior defines a proper life... we do the right things... simply
because they are right!
No magic, no mumbo-jumbo, no myths or fairy tales... just good "old fashioned"
hard work...
In my opinion, this is what Torah and religion are really all about...
Interested? Then welcome to KosherTorah...
Now, let's get to work...

Just as the power of the mind can be used to cause harm, so too can they be used to create good. Every good defense must also include a good offense. Psychic offense does not include attacking others, however it very much does include invoking Heaven and the inner powers of our minds to create circumstances and environments that serve our pursuing the higher good. Just remember this; all psychic activity absolutely needs to materialize in a physical vessel. Unless the physical vessel is both present and strong, there can be no actual manifestation of any psychic energy. We have simple rituals, which are mostly prayers, that when recited in the proper ways can have a tremendous impact in helping us manifest certain realities in our lives. These rituals, in Hebrew are called Segulot, which best translates as spiritual remedies for psychic ailments. There is nothing magical or mystical about them. They are merely the vessels through which we channel the spiritual/psychic energy into physical space. Segulot operate based on the power of faith that they are imbued with. We introduced this material in Chapter 19. Now, in this and the coming chapters, let us turn to applications for specific usages. The three greatest pursuits that most seek individuals out are simply health, wealth and family, although not necessarily in this order. There are numerous Segulot enumerated in a great number of books that help one to solicit the attainment of all three of these things. All of them, however, share one single common denominator; they all rely upon the blessings of Heaven, and never ever seek to manipulate some lower force to bend to one’s will. The powers of the occult, like we have always learned are mechanical; as such, they are neither good or evil, holy or profane. They merely are a technology, and operate according to the scientific principles that underlie their reality, not to dissimilar from the science and technology that we know and use today. Technological instruments, like the laws of nature that enables them to operate are neither good nor evil; they are what they are, mere tools in the hands of the users. The powers that the occult provide should not frighten anyone, especially if one is religious. Religion rightly condemns the occult, but this is not because of the occult operations, but rather because of the occult operators. In and of itself the occult, when not embellished with foolish make-believe satanic symbolisms, is neutral, being neither good not evil. It all depends upon how it is operated. And remember this; yesterday’s occult is today’s science. Many people harbor a baseless irrational fear of the occult, based upon the occult practitioner’s use of demonic symbols. This fear is both foolish and dangerous. The occult practitioners who seek to harm another can do so because they manipulate and take advantage of one’s fears. Without fear, the powers of the occult are severely curtailed. In the end, G-d did create the mechanics underlying the occult just like He created all the other forces in nature. Religious individuals seeking to serve Heaven therefore have nothing to be afraid of from the powers the occult provide. |

Some Words Of Wisdom For All To Contemplate
DEFEND YOURSELVES !!
Guard your minds!
You have no idea of the level of assault you
face every day.
Bend like a reed in the wind, yet, stand strong as a wall of eternal stones
before the onslaught of fiery arrows.
Winds can crack even the mightiest of trees.
Fiery arrows cannot hurt walls of stone.
There is a time to be a tree and a time to be a wall.
DEFEND YOURSELVES !! Guard your minds!
Learn the times, learn how one must act for
the moment, for the place.
There is a time and a purpose for all things under Heaven.
We are in the middle of the change of times,
learn when to be a tree and when to be a wall,
for the fire will burn wood, and the wind will shatter the mightiest of walls.
Be the right thing in the right place at the right time.
DEFEND YOURSELVES !! Guard your minds!
And you just may will live to see the other
side of redemption.
-----------------------------------------------------
“And you will be swiftly removed from upon the good land that G-d gives you.” (Deut. 11:17)
The Ba’al Shem Tov has said, that an individual
must always have a calm mind and not act impetuously,
[for when one does act in
this way, then he] “will be swiftly removed from upon the good land.”
One [must
learn to] swiftly remove impetuousness [rather than be removed because of it.
(Ref. SBST, Ekev 62).
The first of all wise sayings attributed to our Sages in Pirkei Avot is
“be
deliberating in judgment.”
In other words, we should never be quick and impetuous to make decisions
that are not well thought out, rational and logical.
Every day we are faced with decisions and every day we often make the wrong decisions simply because we rush to decide.
Sometimes the best decision is no decision, at least for the moment.
The world
WILL NOT come to an end if we wait a while before responding to a matter that is
not an immanent crises.
This advice might not be for the battlefield… but we do not always live on the
battlefield.
Decisions about business, family, expenses and everyday living
have to be made based upon the greater and wiser good and not just upon how we
feel or how things look at the moment.
Times change and so do feelings. Never make a decision that will affect the future based only on the here and now.
Pause, take a moment, and look towards tomorrow, the next day, and the day after
that.
Takes these into consideration today before you make a decision that will
affect you negatively tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------
Everything that we hold dear is exactly what holds us back from experiencing and acquiring true wealth.
We have been falsely educated into attributing value to things that in essence are meaningless.
Everything in this life is transitory at best.
Physical items, emotional attachments, attitudes, beliefs, ideas and
philosophies, all of these come and go like a passing wind.
Our attachment to these things creates within us a false sense of security and
we seldom let go.
We build around ourselves mighty walls of brick, feelings and ideas, thinking
that these will keep us safe from assault.
How foolish and shortsighted we are.
For every new lock that we create, there comes an even better lock pick.
For every better mouse trap we develop there comes a bigger and stronger mouse.
This is the way of nature, it is unavoidable.
We
protect our homes with all types of security systems and still they are
burglarized.
We protect our feelings with all types of emotional walls and we still end up
getting hurt.
We protect our ideas and beliefs with all types of arguments and justifications
and we still face confusion and contradiction.
We
cannot block out, we cannot find security in the insecure, nor can we find
stability in the unstable.
It is inevitable and unavoidable.
Whatever goes up must come down and whatever goes down creates an equal and
opposite reaction causing it to rise.
In this is summed up all of life and its various movements.
