Moods change from day to day, hour to hour and moment to moment.
Science tells us that diet, environment, chemicals, lifestyle, etc. affect our
moods. This is called biochemistry. Acting from negative moods or vices rather than acting from
virtues compromises the health of the body-mind. When the body-mind is
compromised the door is open to disease.
There are many variations of our moods, but the most destructive
is fear for it brings with it stress, worry, impatience, distrust and doubt.
These moods compromise the integrity of the body-mind and
thus cut us off from our soul. However, awareness of the energy of the moods
and implementing conscious change presents the opportunity to know the nature
of our Tikkum (the kabalistic word
for “corrections”) also known as our karma. Only through conscious awareness of
how we separate ourselves can we set about to make changes towards integrating
the whole. When we begin to replace the vices with the virtues we begin to
change our karma. Through the content of
our lives, we have the opportunity to discover both the corrections and the
qualities that ultimately allow the individual to experience heaven on earth;
better known as happiness.
Developing virtues is the soul purpose of our existence here on earth. Therefore practice compassion, patience, courage, integrity,
honor, strength, steadfastness, love, discipline, peace, creativity and
devotion, and in this you will discover wisdom.
