I never considered myself to be a Religious Person; A 'Spiritual one' Yes!' I was unable to agree with some of the Biblical Commandments, which one of them was:"Do not work on the Sabeth!" The 'Orthodox Jews' interpreted it as: "Do not Drive on the Sabbath!", which was our one and only Day of Rest! My small family of four, did not go to Synagogue, excepte for the' High Holiday' of 'Yom Kippur' the "Day of Atonement" and the new Hebrew Year: 'Rosh Hashana'. We celebrated the Jewish Holidays with our large family members of beloved 'Uncles, Aunts and Cousins; who lived in three 'Main Cities' of Israel: Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv; as well as in Agricultural Settlements in the 'Galil'. Since I was the youngest among my cousins, I enjoyed the Love, which is usually saved for "The Baby"... I am proud to say, I that I was not at all 'Jealous', when 'Ahuvaelle', my youngest cousin was born! On the contrary I 'Fell in Love' with her tiny fingers, soft blond hair, blue eyes and Rose Color lips; she would become my 'Living Doll!'
As I was growing up, my 'Greatest Wish' was to discover the 'Big World', which I read about in the many books I brought home from the library. I was especially intrigued by the The United States of America, which was far away from my small country of birth, which was sharing three Borders with the hostile three Arab Neighbor: Egypt, Jordan and Syria,which were trying to conquer our vulnerable small country, time and time again... I always wished to see the Big World, which was 'waiting for me' beyond the boundaries of tiny Israel, planing to become a psychologist and after completing two years of my required Military Service, I moved to the United States... Just like my Vegetarian Parents, I was always looking for 'Unconventional Methods of Healing' and was eventually able to combine Traditional Psychology with Hypnosis, Voice Dialogue as well as several other 'Unconventional methods of Healing' and accomplished my dream of traveling to the U.S.A, where I registered at the "University of Detroit" and was 'Earning my living' by teaching Hebrew, Bible and Jewish History, at a local Hebrew School on the afternoons... Years later, after receiving my "PHD as a 'Psychology Doctor', I would discover a 'New Tool of healing': 'Clinical Hypnotherapy', which would became my most important 'Tool of Healing!" My office walls were decorated with the many 'Diplomas', I gathered throughout the years among them was a 'Short Prayer', I particularly liked: "Dear God, grant me the Strength to accept what I can not Change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference"...
As time passed by I learned that "The End of the World", does not necessarily have to be Bad... It also means the "End of all the Disagreements, Separations, Fears, Hatred and Wars" which still exist on our planet!' Those who may be worried or frightened, would be told that:"All you have to do to calm down, is to "Forget the fact that you Can Not Remember"... At times, when my 'Inner Child' seems to be sad or worried, I would whisper in it's ear: "Cheer up kid and listen to the following 'Old Saying':"If life is giving you Lemons, you can always make Lemonade!" X(photo of lemons and lemonade)
Throughout our Life's Journey, we may experience periods of great Joy, as well as disappointments like the time I got sick and had to stay home, while my Classmates were going on the School Trip which was the 'High Light' of the Year... People may forget some of their 'Unfulfilled Dreams and Wishes', but they always remember the Pain they felt, after finding out, that the "One we Love, is In Love with some one else'"... As I am writing these lines, my beloved country of birth is once again "Fighting for it's Survival"; just as it did during the 'War of Independence', when I was only four years old...
This current war seems to be one of the most dangerous, Israel ever experienced: never before, did I doubted Israel's ability to 'Win the War!' Now, for the first time, things seem to be different...Our Arab neighbors, which are sharing with Israel three borders; Syria, Egypt and Lebanon; never hid their desire to destroy our tiny country; trying to do so time after time, since 1948; after the United Nations declared Israel to be the "Legitimate Country of the Jewish People!" Since then, this small beloved country, was able to defeat it's enemies again and again; with the lives of young Israeli solders When ever there was another problem in Israel, I was always feeling guilty for being able to live peacefully in 'Sunny California'...
During this lingering war, all I was able to do, besides worry and mourn the loss of young Israeli solders, was wishing it will soon be over and praying for a 'Final and Lasting Peace in the Middle East!' I could almost Feel the Pain, of those who lost a 'Loved One' in the wars and feel guilty for living safely in the U.S,A, while Israel is forced once again, to fight for its life! As the years passed by, I have learned that 'Death', is not the 'End of the world'; but actually it is making room for a "New Beginning!" We told that death is actually a 'Corridor' to the next Dimension'... It is 'Heart Breaking' to witness the suffering of so many people, when all I can do to help, is sending more donations and pray for a"Lasting Peace" in the Middle East; Peace which is going to open the doors to the 5th Dimension"; our peaceful New Home, to which we are supposed to arrive, after our physical death...
On December 7th, I slipped in our garden and broke my Left Leg... It was the same day, when Israel's latest war began... While many people (mostly my age group) were suffering from Health Issues; I have been staying at home, going over my Blog; Correcting mistakes and dealing with the saver pain of my 'Broken Ankle'... I have written before, that one of my greatest pleasure during childhood; was to spend time with my beloved Grandfather; 'Saba Eliyahu'! Many years later, after my one and only Grand child Eliyah, learned to talk; I would say to her: "I am your Savta" (Grandma in Hebrew) "What are you to me?" and was listening with delight to her 'Baby Voice' saying:"Savta, don't you remember how you always say that I am the "Love of Your Life? "
I would like to share with you dear readers, that two years ago, after turning Eighty, I was diagnosed with the beginning of "Dementia": 'Memory loss'... So far, science was unable to discover a proper cure for this disease... I met with our Family's Lawyer in order to find out a legal and peaceful way to "Get out of the Body", when this 'Dementia' begins to take over... By the way, one of the great gifts I received at my birth, was 'Freedom from Fear!' Besides Traditional Therapy I was always looking for Unconventional New Ways of Healing; like Clinical Hypnotherapy,which became one of the 'Main Tools' of my work by enabling me, to remove my clients 'Emotional Pain', not only from the Present but also from their 'Past Lives' ... By doing so I was helping them to 'Let Go' of the painful emotions, which people carry as a result of difficulties in their 'Past Lives'... My father once told me that when people get old; "Life seem to pass by 'Way to Fast!"... He said that this is the reason we should always be grateful for the Good Times we are blessed with and pray for more to come; not only for ourselves, but for the whole world as well as all the people and animals which are sharing it with us!
It is hard to believe that I have just written the 'Final Page' of my Book! I am experiencing a mixture of joy, excitement and great satisfaction; mixed with a few drops of sadness; since it is now time to say my final Good By... I wish to thank you dear readers, for allowing me to share with you my Life's story and wish I could help you remove, some of the 'Pain and heavy Burdens' we all face, during this 'Long Journey' to the Fifth Dimension... However, because of my 'Advancing age '(82) there is a good chance that I may not have to wait in the 'Long Line to Paradise'... In such a case, I promise to save you a 'Good Seat' next to me, before we take off... May we all enjoy a Safe Journey to our up coming home in the Fifth Dimension; see you there!
With love and light, Shira
THE END
( Or rather a New Beginning )
