| We did not appear in this world by chance. We did not appear through a process of random selection. We did appear for a reason. This reason? Tikkun. Tikkun is a Hebrew word that translates as correction, or repair. What needs correcting? Our soul. Kabbalah teaches that each of us comes to this world with baggage from previous lifetimes. This baggage contains all the situations where we short-circuited in our past lives, or at some forgotten point in this life. Each time we fail to resist our reactive behavior, we have to correct it at some point in the future. This concept of correction is called �tikkun.� We can have a tikkun with money, people, health, friendship, or relationships. Going through life being a �nice guy� isn�t enough. The secret to our lives is changing our own personal negative patterns which make up our tikkun. So what�s your tikkun? Without knowing you, I can tell you right now what your tikkun is. Whatever is uncomfortable for you is part of your tikkun. All the people in your life who bother and annoy you � they�re part of your tikkun. If you find it hard to speak up for yourself � it�s part of your tikkun. If you can�t seem to get out of debt � it�s part of your tikkun. If you find it difficult to control your negative thoughts � it�s part of your tikkun. With this understanding, you can no longer be a victim. You can no longer lament the hardships, the bad childhood, the chemical imbalance, or any difficult circumstance that confronts you. These situations, as overwhelming as they might seem, are simply there to call down the everlasting Light of fulfillment into your life. But first, there is a tikkun situation demanding to be corrected. That�s what this week is all about. Walking towards � not away � from what is uncomfortable. The momentary satisfaction of walking away is nothing compared to the energy you will get from facing it. On a different note, each week I receive letters from people who tell me that these emails help them to feel better. If you want this feeling to last, get up and take an action. Otherwise, the feeling is going to fade. One of the best things you can do is share Kabbalah with others. In the past, I have discussed some ways for you to get involved, such as volunteering or donating to Spirituality For Kids or The Zohar Project. We have recently begun another exciting project called The Kabbalah Factor. It is a one day seminar that trains attendees in the simple�but not obvious�Kabbalistic secret that inspires a life of pure power, deep satisfaction and optimum results. We recently conducted sold-out Factors in San Francisco, Los Angeles & Atlanta and the response was amazing. We are now planning them all over the world! We have one coming up soon in Costa Mesa, California on August 22nd. If you know anyone who lives nearby, let them know about this life-changing event. And if you want to bring The Kabbalah Factor to your city, town, school, or office, contact Rachel Peretz and she will work with you to create interest in your area. For most of us, our biggest fear is being rejected. Sharing Kabbalah certainly sets us up for that, as I am sure you have experienced. When you are telling people about Kabbalah, please remember what my father and teacher Kabbalist Rav Berg once told me, �they are waiting for you.� People are craving this wisdom, but most don�t know it till they find it. It is up to us to face our fears, to go outside of ourselves, and to get these spiritual tools out there. Their lives depend on it. Our lives depend on it.
