Purim Light Notes

Adar bet:
How do we get the moon and sun talk to each other again?
We must diminish

In support
Reflecting someone elses light
The Slonimer rebbi says
Chanuka and purim is the nukva
We’ve graduated beyond
To connecting when just needing you
The relationship the partnering
How much we love you and how much you love us.

How we find the depths to try again
Not from the place of trauma
From a place
Of love
From a place of trust!
This is Purim!

If we really start to refine our vessel…
We feel the opportunity
We make a chachana in our vessel
And then we get out of the way and let go

Like a prince that has a decree
Of being separated from his father the king
To live among very gruff people
On the one hand it can give resilience to the prince
Maybe this experience will turn his child to become a person like this.

6 days a week he will be pushing weights in the gym
In a world that seems to tell a story that we need roughness and disconnection
The ben melech will be in these conditions
Once a week the king will receive the princess in the palance
Remember who you really are

PNEI SHABBAT
Place of lashevet
Resting place
Your face when you go back to remember and show up
Who are you really?
That’s Shabbos

A few times a year
The king comes out of the field
And visits us

In whatever consciousness we are at
Shabbos is a time when the king elevates us and draws us into the palace

But pesach, Shavuot and sukkos
Hashem visits us wherever we are
But now says the slonimer
Thres a third way
The third time

When the ben hamelech
Has fallen so far away from the source
From who they wanted to become
In those places
Because of their tremendous compassion
Hashem feels like a loving parent
He goes down
From His love
The parent doesn’t visit the child
He goes to the depths of pain
To elevate them
And this is the bechinat of Chanka and Purim

The lights are so low
The parts of ourself that we don’t want to go

Light wants to avoid those levels of consciousness inside of us
Hastara betoch hastara
Purim
Lashmid, laharog
To uproot one thread of light
That’s whats at stake
On purim
The beginning of purim
We were in such a low place

Low has many faces
The victim
The perpetrator
We don’t see a path of peace
Reintegration
Of harmony
Of peace

This is where we are at right at purim
We are mirroring the more
Yom kippur katan

The rising of the dawn
Esther
Being on a level of consciousness
Where people are asking from the deepest depth
There are other voices
That begin to question
How possible is it to change our nature
To be able to live in an elevated consciousness
Is it possible to wake up
Not the consequenses of the pain
But because we are IN LOVE
With hashem
And Hashem in ourselves

The shalosh regalim
Each one respresents
Chesed, gevurah or tiferet.

Chanukah and purim are kneged netzach and hod
This is where free choice gets to show us
What we are really about
What we are really yearning for

When we go into the legs
We go into malchut
How we eat, touch, love, how we keep our clothes and bodies
To those places where we start to get uncomfortable

The sensations and desires
From layers and cycles
From our life time and other lifetimes

We see our imbalances
In netzach and hod
We ask to be teachable
Receptable
Kavs
Mekabel
In those places

When we fell to our lowest stories
When we move and act in the story
Even those spaces
You still remember us
HKB”H loves us in these states
Theres a lover when you are in your ugliest self they see your light

After all the parties
The slonimer is talking about when its not easy to LOVE
Here is where Hashem comes to meet us in our fallen state
We create an opening
Iliya ditata

He meets us in the darkness
And he whisks us up
The Arizal brings down
That the light of purim is HIGHER THAN THE LIGHT OF SHABBOS
PESACH, SHAVUOT
Why?
Because the love is so much deeper
A love that allows for darkness and falling
Its such a deep love
A nitzchi
Everlasting love
That can sustain mistakes

Even if a person would be banished to the farthest corner of the world
Hashem would follow

The energy of Yisod
In Yesod everything gets gathered together
This day of purim that comes once a lear
Everybody that opens their hand

Poteach et yadecha
Hashem opens hashems hands
And sustains every creature
To survive, to THRIVE

One day a year
The more you want ot receive light
The more it gets it

Let me receive your light
I don’t understand it
It doesn’t matter
Please let your light in
Let me trust you!

This is a once in a year opportunity
To connect in a wide and full spectrum
From the deepest depth to the highest light
And every step in between

On purim the deeper the response
The higher


Purim
A mini psycho drama
We are acting like its already happened
We are giving food, brachos
We are davening
Yearning
Not practicing judgement on anybody
Giving love and tzedakah

We are having 24 hours AS IF MOSHIACH HAS ALREADY COME
We are bringing Heaven down to earth
We are not SEPARATING
IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORKDAY
YOU can deal with money and all the creation
And you can do that with Moshiach consciousness

When you give them cake and an apple
And think you are a spark of light

First I fast
I make space for light
Less self space
I weaken my body a little
To the infinite light in me can shine a bit more

Mordechai
Ish yemini
Shevet benyamin
The people of the right side
The people of unconditional love

Purim is higher than Shabbos and yom tov
Why purim?
We don’t have limitations of creating holiness
Yom kippur: ways of quieting our body


Why is this light so high on purim
Because its 24 hours of our mission statement
To live in awareness of the divine
RIGHT NOW in the most physical spaces
In relationships, community

This is inviting hashem into
How do I pay my bills
How do I have patience with this person
Asking the light to enter malchus
The light and the dark
The fixed and the not fixed

Lyehudim haita sason

Yehudim from HOD
We are called specifically yehudim
To be humble, open and receptive, grateful, teachable, thankful, and really honest
And admitting what we don’t know, our misalignments, making space within us

Listening, quieting, making space for others to shine
Making a mistake and finding the gentleness
To admit vulnerably
To find place for an honest connection

Vulnerable
Inviting honest connection
Honest unblocked
Tender
Connection
So our strong hearts and weak hearts are seen

This requires deepness and tenderness
Maybe we witness friends saying things
Seeing less than pretty parts
And still hold love and light

The gemara megillah

Orah: Torah
Simcha: yom tov
Susson: brit milah
Yikar: tefillin; connecting our mind and heart

Flow and receptivity
Between mashpia and mekabel
Connection through torah, yomtov, physical and emotional
Physical intimacy

Ora

It’s a sign of intentionality
Share light
Receive light
Vyikar elu tefillin
They symbolize the moach and the lev
Ben Yehudi v Hashem

And whats the joy of purim?
Because when we have experienced when if feels like to be so out of harmony
In our family and community
In our own heart
Having experienced disconnection
Even hatred
Resentment, grudgment anger, judgement
Suffering that comes from those places

When we feel disconnected
From hope, joy, self-worth,

Can you wrap yourself around
Ad dlo yada
From the spiritual states
That there’s no hope for us
Human beings that don’t know how to live in elevated states
And not just pull you out of the mud
Gently wash you and wipe you dry
And cloth you in creative clothing
To a space of having
PANIM TO PANIM

FACE TO FACE
YOUR MOST undefended not traumatized
True core life being relating to another

Until we are mamash able
To reach these places
The essence is about having the direct experience
Of the light
The source
Hashem believing in you

Se’if bet
Understand in order to have free choice
As holy as this energy is
To invite you into full unconditional love
There’s the same force of resistance

An energy is opposite
The energy of resistance
That comes up in us that wants to resist the non knowing
RESISTENCE TO THE HIGHEST LILGHT
It brings us into connection
To recognize the strength of the shadow
That’s blocking the light
From acting from the elevated light

To speak from a place of choosing to refine our responses
There’s a MITZVA TO ERASE THE VEILS
Those strong feelings of resistance
The essence of the energy
Is wanting to create drama
To distract us
As energies that get in the way
Of real safety
The trauma voices

Is hashem really between us
If hashem is really shining between me and you
Its bigger than me
Help me learn
How to partner in ways I don’t know
I don’t know how to live in consciousness
And live in ratzo vshov
And not give up
On myself and each other
And shaming and blaming
Myself and each other

The gift of purim
Is having the space to laught
And say
It’s a good thing
You are giving the illusion that im driving
But im so happy  you are driving

When we get excited about
Life and love
Something comes and says
ITS NOT POSSIBLE

What makes you think your generation can do
What generations couldn’t do in 6000 years
Is that spiritual bipassing

To feel cold
Asher karcha bederech
The space of cold disconnectedness

Feeling disconnect from the true source of emuna

Tuma atum: to be disconnected, to feel dead inside

Healthy disattachement
We trust Gd and let go
Let go of responsibility to fix their life
Healthy detachment


Unhealthy
Not caring because of our own survival

This is the heart of the heart of dveikus
Of living in light

Emunah is deveikut
One is a belief Emunah
One is an experience of feeling completely one
NO THEY ARE THE SAME THING!
The more tahur
Tzohar: surrendered receptive
The more devikut we are with hashem
Tzohar: open receptive, wanting connection to the light

Our middos sensations emotions memories ideas beliefs
About ouselfs hashem the world
Can put out blocks and veils
And the eperince of barzel metal separation
That separate us and the source of light

Any attempt to separate  us
Experience of outer amalek

Hes inviting us into Amalek on the inside
Shabbos: patience in my family
Teamwork, harmony; not all the work on one person
No martyr, no drama
The second Shabbos was out, reverting for fear patterns
Wow I could taste Moshiach
Why is it so quick to fall back to old patterns?
That karcha bderech

You see flow you didn’t think was possible
And these voices of resistance come at the most
When we are getting stronger
And we start to wake up
That theres something bigger
We feel the thread and connection to the light
A deeper and broader
Zeh leumat zeh
Don’t worry
Its normal
You have this really high moment with your husband
And really big breakthrough
Of forgiveness and flow
Then the negaitivity came back stronger
YEAH because every energy has and equal reaction

Just notice the light the resistance and middos
And be with it
And this is why it is brought down
This is the mitzvah to REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE PATTERN

When you get out of mitzrayim
A space of polarized duality
The constricted places
Of doubt and FEAR
That’s when Amalek energy comes

Precisely when you’re on the way out
You see new light
And change in yourself
That you can show up
You see this in yourself and something comes out
Closer to Sinai
The apex of feeling unified
You and Hashem want the same vision of your soul

That’s precisely the time when the resistance comes out

One you know it
Your halfway there
Because
You are COPYING THE CODE

Bechinat panim lpanim
Bechinat Geula

What does galus mean
The experience
Its an inner experience
To our highese level of consciousness
Parts of me believing
Believing I can change
In my essential goodness
Beliving in my love in believing in gd


PANIM B PANIM
If I allow the vulnerability of newness, refua, fixing, this is the energy of Geula

Make space for the alef
From galut to Geula

Alef from az yashir

After so many years of fracturing

Of being asleep of no talking to each other
Inside and outside
Theres a new arousal on the level of yechida

Its when you are that close to everthing being fixed
That’s when haman attacks
The jokes on him
You can face him and not take him seriously

The whele strong that you and lthe light is peaking

You think theres hope for you!
This is going to happen through YOU
This life this body this time
Says Haman
Panim to panim yes
You think you will have that relationship with the source of light
This is the power of the sabotage.
The equal force of resistance

The light is equally as strong to opening the door
