Days Are Coming…

It is an ancient tradition that in every generation there is one above all others who is the heart of all those alive on the face of the earth. When one passes on, another takes over. This is my gut feeling: The Rebbe was the heart of the Boomers and of all those born in their wake.

Then, sometimes, I look at the face of the Rebbe, and I think, "This, my heart? But we are so distant! His world, my world... I am he and he is me?! If he is my own heart, then how do I feel such a stranger to him?!"

But then, do you feel your heart beating within you? Most people will answer they don't and cannot, unless they search for a pulse somewhere. But isn't that absurd: Your entire body is incessantly throbbing in every limb and organ with the relentless pumping of the heart -—and you say you do not feel it? It is just that it is so close to you, so much you, that you cannot feel it, just as you do not notice your own nose in front of you.

All events of body and mind reflect the nuances of the beating of the heart and of the life-giving blood that passes through it.

All our searching for higher fulfillment, all our rejection of the established order, all our awaiting of "the Aquarian Age" or "the New Age" or whatever you want to call it -—all is an expression of the consciousness that flows to us, pumped through the heart of our generation.

Avoid New age
To be close to Him and to feel His presence is awesome. I did not know Him but cried out to Him at 4am as my husband lay in hospital my dog was dying my car was being vandalised and my neighbour was being a great challenge, my business had just come to end due to others not paying me and they went bankrupt. But at my lowest point I cried out if there is a G-d I want to know now or I want to die now - and I confess I really meant it. Wow did my life ever change over the next few months and eventually it dawned on me this is G-d and the revelation was so awesome it knocked me over. I was praising worshipping and thanking H-m for my salvation and the power of His presence I will never forget. Children of G-d if you dont feel His presence seek Him with all your heart and be amazed. Wonderful Counsellor Prince of peace Almighty G-d Alpha and Omega there is no one like Him. He is love itself and the feeling of His presence is indescribable and beautiful. He made Himself known to me - wow!
