Making a living is all about plumbing. You’ve got a reservoir up there, a water tank down here, and you need some way to connect the two.
The reservoir of life up there can’t be changed or moved. As for the water tank down here, that is your career, and it receives only what is decided from Above.
But you also have a second career—your principal career—and that is to bring more good into this world.
In that career, you are a plumber. You can open faucets, widen pipelines, drain all you can from an Infinite Source. It will overflow into the water tanks of your material career. It might even increase their volume.
The flow of life is in your hands.

How To Open The Faucet - Spiritually! The Surrounding Light (Ohr Makif) is on standby awaiting us to trigger the faucet and allow it's valve to open to let the light flow into our world vessel.
he Light needs a conduit or pipeline to flow through. Then we need to create a voltage (potential difference) across the pipe. To do this we need to connect our heartfelt desires to plea for correction of the broken soul. We raise this deficiency to the Light. This is the prayer it is waiting for.
Depending on the quality and intensity of the desire for correction, the valve is triggered and the Light flows through the conduits who raised the plea. Positive energy flows through the conduits to everything in our world.
