The 49 days of the Omer period, marking the journey from enslavement in Egypt to receiving Torah at Sinai, provide a context in which we can each become more aware of how we are held in our personal enslavements as we walk the wilderness to a place of greater freedom and wisdom.
For these 49 days, Rabbi Ted will be sharing a meditation here on Facebook to carry with you on your own journey. You can learn more about the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, on which these meditations are based, on his Web site, http://www.rabbitedfalcon.com/intro-to-49-days-of-intentions/
FROM
Introduction to 49 Days of Intentions
A Healing Journey
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life, or Eitz Chayim, is a symbolic representation of the ten levels of reality. It diagrams the steps through which Consciousness or Energy moves from the highest to the lowest vibrational levels to finally manifest as the world we know.
This "map of consciousness" provides a model for understanding the nature of all Being as well as the nature of our own particular being. The map guides us in understanding, appreciating, and utilizing all the possible levels. It also serves as a foundation for meditative focus.
One can follow this map by studying the meaning of each of the levels (sefirot) in depth and, should you desire to do so, my book, A Journey of Awakening, can be your guide.
But the journey can be a simpler one, too. If the map is true, then one can benefit from its guidance without sophisticated knowledge of its details.
The 49 days of the Omer period, marking the journey from enslavement in Egypt to receiving Torah at Sinai, provide a context in which we can each become more aware of how we are held in our personal enslavements as we walk the wilderness to a place of greater freedom and wisdom.
At the beginning of each of the seven weeks of the Omer, I will share a brief synopsis of the meaning of the particular sefirah whose energies provide the foundation for the week, as well as a basic Intention for that week. Then, each day, a Focus to carry with you.
Today is the first day of the journey. It's good to have company in the wilderness.
DAY ONE INTENTION
49 Days of Intentions
A Healing Journey
The Foundation for the First Week
Beginning the evening of Tuesday, April 19
Chesed - The Flow of Lovingkindness
Chesed is the place where the energies of Lovingkindness flow without limit. This flow of Life-force will later manifest as both positive and negative feelings, but at this point the flow precedes any polarity.
This week, I discover the abundant outpouring of possibility.
Day 1 Focus
Beginning the evening of Tuesday, April 19
I begin my journey toward greater purpose and meaning.

We can turn our breakdowns into breakthroughs.
CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON
ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
VIDEOS ON THE NEW PLANT YOUR DREAM WEBSITE http://plantyourdream.net
THESE ARE OUR AIMS
1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.
2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.
3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”
4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
