\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">In ancient days, the nation of Israel was in bondage and slavery in Egypt.\u00a0 How the mighty Israelite&#8217;s had fallen from the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.\u00a0 They were exiled from their homes, lost most of their wealth and living under heavy taskmasters in Egypt building the pyramids.\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t this sound similar to how many of us are living?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">The story of Passover and how the Jewish people became free to reclaim their divine heritage and find their Promised Land is full of powerful lessons we can learn from, even today.\u00a0 The stories of The Bible are metaphors as the cycles of history repeat themselves over time again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">The story of Moses freeing the Jewish People is a metaphor for transforming the darkest, negative circumstances in our lives to freedom, joy, health, love, success and prosperity.\u00a0 It relates to eradicating the negative, destructive beliefs, thoughts, emotions and behaviors in our lives and discovering the path to spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and financial freedom and independence.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong><em>The Promised Land or the Land of Milk and Honey is available to each of us<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong> We each have areas of darkness, despair, pain and suffering in our lives, health, families and circumstances.\u00a0 Every person has their cross to bear.\u00a0 We create our reality and become our own taskmasters or enlist the aid of others to do so.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Question:<br \/>\nDo we sincerely want to free ourselves and take total responsibility for our lives and conduct or do we want to blame others and circumstances while play the role of victims?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\"> What is your focus?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300\"> What is your vision and purpose for your life?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Are you willing to acknowledge the truth and discover your patterns of darkness\/negativity\/fear and let it go.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300\">Are you will to follow your still, small voice within regardless of what others tell you?\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300\">Will you live by <em>The Golden Rule<\/em> even when it is not easy or convenient?\u00a0 Life can be a miraculous adventure of going from darkness to the light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Our society and culture is primarily based on fear.\u00a0 <em>The powers that be<\/em> <em>who control the wealth<\/em> <em>on the planet want to keep the world in darkness and slavery to build their pyramids and fortify their greed, power and control.<\/em>\u00a0 We are programmed how to live, what we should want and kept in fear.\u00a0 Until we break free from this conditioning nothing is going to change.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Do you have the courage to find the light, to discover your higher purpose and go total (100% faith and trust)?\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300\">If you do, then take a good self-inventory of your life in all areas.\u00a0 What is the real quality of your health, relationships and career?\u00a0 Are you happy, joyous and fulfilled?\u00a0 Do you feel peace in your heart and mind?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Start living your life from within your heart and consciousness.\u00a0 Meditate, spend time in nature, eat healthy and exercise.\u00a0 Help others and give of yourself and stop being a selfish, self-centered person living from the ego\/mind.\u00a0 The Game of Life is actually simple, even though it may not easy.\u00a0 Achieving the highest principles and actualizing our full creative potential is the ultimate purpose.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">For in the end, this is where we are all heading.\u00a0 It is the greatest game of all and the greatest story ever told.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\"><em><strong>Have a Happy, Healthy &amp; Prosperous Passover!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">smiles,<\/span><br
