THE CANDELABRA WILL BUILD ITSELF
[from http://www.becominglikegod.com/?p=from_michael&s=191]

It was time to build a spiritual power station in the desert.

So goes the story.

The Creator told Moses to build a tabernacle, a physical place where the Israelites could draw down the Light of the Creator. Moses was further instructed: within this tabernacle, he was to build a special instrument: a candelabra.

As kabbalists know, this story is not just a story, and the candelabra is not just mythical mumbo-jumbo. The story is a code with deep practical meaning for our lives, and the candelabra is precision technology for tapping spiritual energy.

So what happened there in that desert?

As instructed, Moses attempted to build the candelabra, but he found it difficult. So the Creator showed him in a vision exactly what it should look like. But even with this clear vision, Moses could not complete it.

So, charged with divine light and inspiration, the candelabra finished itself.

This is the model for our work, on the journey to Becoming Like God. When we have a true desire to accomplish something, all we need to do, like Moses, is to begin. All we need to have, like Moses, is a clear vision of the outcome. We must yearn for its completion. Then we must ask assistance. We must ask the Light of the Creator to complete what we yearn for, but can't complete ourselves. And when we have certainty, and true desire, the Light of the Creator will finish the job.

The candelabra will build itself!

Whenever we come before a daunting task that we know is right but feel is beyond our capability, the candelabra teaches us a 3-step process.

1. Do everything we can to complete the task.

2. Have a true and intense desire to complete the job, knowing we can't do it ourselves.

3. When we come to the end of what we can do, know the Light of the Creator will finish the job for us.

Let's say we have children, and desire for them a positive, spiritual path. Number 1: We do everything we can to guide them. Number 2: We have a clear vision of them leading positive lives, and a true desire for them to be protected in ways we cannot do ourselves. Number 3: We acknowledge we don't have the power, and ask the Light of the Creator to complete the job.

On the road to Becoming Like God, have a clear vision of the candelabra. Do everything you can to build it. Have a true desire for it. And know you cannot finish the task.

When you have clarity and fervent desire, when you ask for assistance, you create an opening for the Light to come, and the Light will complete all the actions we cannot.

Blessings and Light,
