When eager for change – whether it’s in yourself or in your circumstances – waiting can feel like standing still. There are seasons when nothing appears to move – days pass, effort is made, and yet nothing seems to visibly shift. That pause can be uncomfortable, even discouraging, but it doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Stillness is not stagnation. It is often preparation – quiet, deliberate, and necessary.

Patience is the willingness to remain present while change is already unfolding beneath the surface. It’s the understanding that the waiting time is not wasted time. Much of what matters most grows invisibly at first, shaping itself where the eye cannot yet follow.

Change rarely arrives all at once. It unfolds in layers, requiring time for foundations to strengthen before anything visible can emerge. Often, the waiting is not a pause in the journey, but a quiet reshaping of the person who will take the next step – habits are forming, perspectives are adjusting, resilience is building. What feels like delay is often preparation – growth that wouldn’t hold if it came too quickly.

The same is true of circumstances beyond our control. Pieces move, alignments form, and timing matures long before the outcome appears. We may not see how today connects to tomorrow, but each moment of patience is part of a larger process that’s still in motion.

Quiet does not mean abandoned. G-d is as present in concealment as in revelation. If we can learn to trust the unseen work, we will discover that the stillness is part of the movement, and that time is not our enemy but the ally that ensures we’re prepared and ready for change when it does appear.

Inspired by the teachings of the Maharal of Prague, Rabbi Yehudah Loew (1512-1609)

Perfection is an illusion that keeps you chasing a moving target. You don’t have to be flawless to be worthy. Real growth happens in the messy, imperfect moments where you show up anyway.

Mistakes are not failures – they are moments of learning disguised as setbacks, each one carrying insight that only experience can teach. They are part of the process of becoming who you’re meant to be, and often become the very thing that strengthens you most.

Let go of the pressure to be perfect and embrace the freedom of being real. Remember that progression matters more than perfection, and consistency with compassion is how growth becomes sustainable instead of exhausting. Be kind to yourself and celebrate small wins. Keep stepping, stumbling, learning and repeating. Keep getting up, keep showing up, and no matter what, don’t ever give up.

Inspired by the teachings of Reb Noson of Breslov (1780-1844)

Five Reminders to Take to Heart

———

1. What you thought would complete you was never meant to.

It was meant to point you beyond yourself, toward a deepening connection to Hashem.

2. Life does not disappoint us by accident.

It disappoints the illusion so that the truth can emerge.

3. Peace begins the moment we start asking the right questions.

Stop asking:

* “Am I getting what I need?”

Start asking:

* “What lesson is Hashem teaching me now?”

* “What does Hashem want me to do in response to this situation?”

Stop asking life to serve you.

Start asking what you are here to serve.

4. Menucha deepens when you stop demanding that life satisfy you.

It grows when you let go of that demand.

5. Life was never meant to make you comfortable.

It was meant to help you grow and align with your neshama.

Be Good to Others

Goodwill is not a Pollyanna kind of wish, thinking that everybody’s going to be good, therefore I’ll be good to them. It’s because people are not going to be good many times that you’ve got to be good to them.

We must strive to have a heart BIGGER than the world.......

We've got big news!

Patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about accepting the natural pace of life.

This week has likely been full of busy days, to-do lists, and moments that pulled at your attention.

Each moment is an opportunity to deepen awareness, find balance, and move through your day with more peace, presence, and intention.

As Shabbat approaches, take a breath, slow down, and accept all that comes your way.

Allow yourself to rest, reflect, and prepare your heart for a day of rest and renewal. 🌿

Energetical Imbalances Manifest As Physical Ailments

All illnesses start with the non physical parts of yourself. From your emotional, mental, and astral bodies. If one’s emotional state is not observed and understood why something is out of alignment, the dense energies continue to get packed, in due time, they begin to manifest as physical disease.

The experiences you have in one way or another were created by you. Your thoughts, words, actions, and pre-agreements. And your responses decide how much you grow from each experience, or do you sink into further duality and take the long path towards healing and realization.

Whether you are on the giving or receiving end, pains, grudges, heartbreaks, grief, mistreatments, all begin with a thought, if that thought is not changed or released, it begins to roll down hill like a snowball, growing into something more.

There is an energetical issue with every physical illness.

This occurs when one refuses to broaden their perspective and understand the deeper meaning of a situation, or not willing to change or accept what has transpired. Thus remaining in that lower energetical state, and learning to find comfort in the victim role. Instead of reflecting on the issue at hand, speaking up, and or seeking help from whoever you think may be able to assist you.

The energetical imbalances in one’s being start to manifest as physical ailments if they are not understood and sought to be healed. For example, health issues related to the heart and lungs are due to lack of love, for the self, not feeling loved as a child. Lung cancer; inability to feel safe, depression, grief, holding on to the past, and or feeling unworthy of life. Heart attack; giving up joy for material gains, feeling lonely, fearful, and not good enough, continuous emotional problems.

A list of physical illnesses which begin as energetical imbalances in the entity;

Baldness, hair loss; Is due to blockage of the crown and third eye chakras, closed out to new ideas and change.

Headaches; Self judgement, fear, refusing the current of events.

Weight concerns; Safety, fear, anger with parents, feeling unloved.

Genital problems; Sexual guilt, shame, blocking creativity.

Cancers; Long held pains and traumas, grief, rejecting self and rejection from others/unloved in life.

Kidneys; Anger, disappointment, unbalanced reactions.

Miscarriage; Not trusting in the timing, fearing the future. This also can be for karmic reasons, and the soul not wanting to fully be in the physical.

Pneumonia; Exhaustion, unable to heal emotional wounds.

Stomach issues/ulcers/constipation; Refusing to let go of the past, guilt and blaming one’s self for past actions.

Blood pressure; Unhealed emotional problems. Low blood pressure; Neglected as a child, feeling defeated.

From the many different medicines you can take to help you deal with the symptoms, you can also heal health issues by seeing, thinking, truly believing that you really are not ill. It’s simply in the mind. Change your thoughts. Shift your emotions. The moment you wake up in the morning, state the following; I am healthy and filled with life and vitality. My body operates at optimum health.

The Thinker and The Prover

https://gregreese.substack.com/p/the-thinker-and-the-prover?utm_source=podcast-email&publication_id=706779&post_id=183604159&utm_campaign=email-play-on-substack&utm_content=watch_now_button&r=ccrm2&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

There are moments in life — and in history — when you can feel the atmosphere shifting before anything visible makes itself clear.

It can feel like pressure.
A charge in the air.
A sense of inevitability you can’t explain.

It can show up in your body as restlessness, excitement, clarity, discomfort, sadness, or rage.
It can feel like standing on the edge of your own life, knowing something must break open — even when you don’t know what or how.

If you're feeling that now, you're not the only one. And if you’re not feeling it yet, you probably will soon.  

The first sign of this kind of life-altering change is always the same:

The old way stops working — until it's almost impossible to tolerate anymore.

The identity and behaviors that kept you functioning are not sustaining you anymore – because you've outgrown the matrix they belonged to.

At that point, to move forward, something must happen:
An old agreement must be withdrawn.

This is true for you as an individual,
or for a nation,
or for the world as a whole.

That withdrawal — the refusal to agree any longer to the old way — is what I call the Hard No.

The Hard No is not the same as wishing, wanting, hoping, trying, resisting, or complaining.

The Hard No is where you say:

“I don’t know what will happen or how, but I am not agreeing to this anymore.”

A true Hard No can be the most powerful act you will ever take.
It’s the moment the old world ends and the new one begins.

Most of the time, the Hard No comes before it’s clear what the new Yes will be.
It has to be that way — because the moment your system truly refuses to stay trapped in an identity you’ve outgrown, is the moment you begin to connect with something new…

Even if you don’t know what that something is.

The Hard No is the moment a nation stops negotiating with its oppressors.

It’s the moment your soul stops negotiating with a way of feeling, living, relating, being — that was never really yours.

It’s the moment you realize:
What has been happening is no longer tolerable.

Some people call it hitting bottom. But it doesn’t have to be dramatic or extreme.

It happens when a person — or a people — reaches the edge of the matrix they’ve been living in, and their soul says:

No.
Not this.
No way.
No more.

If you're on that edge — or feeling it approaching — I want you to know something:

A true Hard No is the beginning of a whole new world.

When you say a true Hard No, it cuts you loose like a blade —
from what’s kept you bound, no matter for how long.

It withdraws your agreement from the patterns — seen and unseen —
that were part of a field you’re no longer willing to carry.

A true Hard No reorganizes you — the entirety of you — from the inside out.
It takes you from the known into the unknown — but in a way that forces a new reality to begin forming around you… and around the light of your soul.

If this resonates for you…
If you've been sensing the pressure without knowing exactly why…

Know this:  You’re not the only one.

This is the cutting edge of transformation.
It’s where the real work is right now.

And when something new is ready to be born — it’s not a matter of if.
It’s only a matter of how.
