We feel that the standard cause and effect, and the work and accomplish laws of Mother Nature is insufficient, or worse, has turned against us. Only an extraordinary experience, nothing short of a miracle, can help us. Where does this thought process come from? Well, as Jews, we are blessed with a 2 perfect excuses of victimhood. One is called Ayin Horah -the Evil Eye, while the other is simply called Mazal -Luck, as in, “What should I do that I have no mazal, like a curse, in which no matter how hard I try, everything turns to ashes?!’ Yes, in Jewish tradition there is such a thing as an Ayin Horah, there is such a thing as Mazal, AND there is such a thing as prayer that shields, protects and overcomes all of the above. However, presently I am not even talking of a need for prayer to ward off the Evil Eye or to draw in ah bisseleh mazal (a bit of mazal). Rather, we are talking about our need to precisely cease and desist fighting life on life’s terms, to stop trying to sneak under the radar of Mother Nature, and to embrace her Universal Laws. In this lecture we are going to learn how to align ourselves with Mother Nature, and to uncover her miraculous powers.
