Sin of Adam


By: Yehuda Berg

Sunday, October 5

Why did Adam fall out of the Garden of Eden?

Eating an apple? Nope. The Zohar [2,000 year old text of Kabbalah] says his real sin was he stopped feeling worthy of being there.

Point is, we are allowed to make mistakes. All of us. That’s why one of my mother and teacher Karen Berg’s favorite sayings is, angels are in heaven. We are here precisely for the reason of falling - and getting back up.

But when our ‘sins’ make us feel that we are less, or that we don’t deserve to be alive, well, that’s the real sin.

Today, hold yourself to a higher standard, but not so high that you can’t reach it.

Act Fast!

Too many times we get a great idea or impulse but we don’t act. We ‘think it over.’ And before we know it, it’s too late.

Miracles need to happen in the space that’s not comfortable and is risk-taking. The second you know what you need to do, that is when the action needs to happen.

Leave thinking alone for the next 24 hours. Act…and act fast!

Survival of the Fittest


By: Yehuda Berg

Friday, October 3

Survival instinct is the most powerful force on Earth, without question. And it's the ego that holds the trophy for the strongest survival instinct of all. The ego doesn't want to die.

Ego wants to keep us all disconnected from peace, love and Light. It wants to keep each of us full of pain, fear and emotional turmoil. It would prefer we be the lamp in the corner covered with drapes of cloth, without even the tiniest bit of Light shining through.

That's what it has always wanted - and it is willing to blind us with doubt in an attempt to desperately delay our progress and transformation.

Today, just say no to ego (ie. SAY NO TO YOUR DOUBTS!)

Baby Steps, My Friends


By: Yehuda Berg

Thursday, October 2

The New Year is on!

All those wishes and changes and vessel-building — now it's time to start putting our money where our mouths are, so to speak.

Oh boy. We've all made a lot of promises to ourselves. How are we going to keep them all?

Baby steps, my friends. Baby steps. That's the name of the game. Slow and gradual.

Today, don't overwhelm yourself with thoughts of how you're gonna get up that mountain. Just start walking. One baby step at a time
