The Kabbalah Poem

February 22, 2009

Dear Friends,

Decades ago, one of the most popular comedy programs on television was Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Frequently, the next skit would be introduced with the words, “And now for something completely different.”

Well, now it’s my turn to utter that famous phrase, because today I am offering you something completely different.

For one thing, it’s a poem. But that’s not why this message is different. I presented a poem to you last December.

No, what makes today’s message completely different is its unusual source. Although I always write from the heart—and today’s message is no different—it was directly inspired by a unique book I just read called, The 72 Names of God . . . a book of teachings and tools that are based on the mystical, spiritual tradition known as Kabbalah.

It is not my intention to “sell you” on Kabbalah. Much of what I read did, indeed, seem to be in alignment with my own beliefs. But not all of it was.

As I studied these 72 teachings, however, I noticed how they did offer helpful insights on living a life of greater happiness, satisfaction, and ease—similar to the principles I teach for living life in the divine flow.

And not only that, these teachings could easily be distilled into something that I find to be a helpful tool for transforming one’s life in a positive manner: Affirmation Statements.

In fact, right after I read the description of the first two “names,” a pair of rhyming affirmation statements immediately popped into my head. When I read the description of the next few “names,” the same thing happened again. The next thing I knew, I was writing a poem . . . a poem that eventually became 72 lines long!

Today, my friends, I offer you that poem. It contains 72 empowering affirmations. You may not understand every affirmation. And you may not agree with some. Just take what you like and leave the rest. My partner, Carol, found reading this piece to be tremendously uplifting.

Because of the length of this poem, I am offering it to you as a downloadable PDF file, which most computers can easily open. It is a large file containing artwork, so you may have to be patient during the downloading process. And you will probably have to “zoom in” or print it out in order to easily read it.

To download my poem now, go this page on my website: www.rowrowrow.com/Downloads.html.

As different as it is, I hope you find this offering to be of value. Next week we will return to our “regularly scheduled program!”

Steven
