Family should love unconditionally and treat you with respect. If they only love you when you accept their disrespectful and manipulative ways - they are using "love" as a bargaining chip, which makes it abuse, not love. Do you have to give yourself a pep talk before visiting a family member because they are so negative? How long will you tolerate the belittling "jokes", snide comments, being ignored at family functions or not invited at all? How many times will you rebuild your battered self-esteem after family visits? Making a decision to step away from family takes time and consideration, it is not made lightly, but with love and determination to heal. Dysfunctional families infect all members and cause division. If your family has a scapegoat, harbors negativity, doesn't solve issues by talking with the rightful party and pretends that everything is normal - you have been affected. This separation may be temporary or permanent, however it is imperative to the healing process. When family behaviors become more painful to you than the thought of going no contact, it is time to make a decision. This book explores aspects of limiting contact with toxic family members and shares stories of those who have. http: //lorimayo.wix.com/lorimayobooks

Rav Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag (Rabash) ha svolto un ruolo rilevante nella storia della Kabbalah. Ci ha fornito l'ultimo collegamento necessario tra la Saggezza della Kabbalah e la nostra esperienza umana. Suo padre e maestro era il grande Kabalista, Rav Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag, conosciuto come Baal HaSulam per il suo Sulam (La Scala) commentario de Il Libro dello Zohar. Eppure, se non fosse per i saggi di Rabash, gli sforzi di suo padre per divulgare la Saggezza della Kabbalah a tutti sarebbero stati vani. Senza questi saggi, veramente pochi sarebbero in grado di raggiungere la realizzazione spirituale che Baal HaSulam così disperatamente voleva che noi ottenessimo.Gli scritti in questo libro sono stati raccolti dal suo studente prediletto Michael Laitman PhD, Presidente e Fondatore dell'Accademia Internazionale per lo Studio della Kabbalah "Bnei Baruch" e riportati così come venivano esposti dal Rabash durante le sue lezioni. Il materiale non è solo da leggere; gli articoli sono più come la guida di un utente esperienziale. È molto importante lavorare su di essi per vedere quello che realmente contengono. Il lettore dovrebbe cercare di metterli in pratica per vivere le emozioni che Rabash descrive così magistralmente. Egli ha sempre raccomandato ai suoi studenti di riassumere gli articoli, di tradurli ed applicarli nel gruppo. Fare questo significa scoprire il potere degli scritti di Rabash.

Throughout my younger years, I often felt confused and alienated from life, not knowing it was because I was alienated from God. I longed to know the real true meaning of life. My longing thoughts were--is this all there is, we are born, we live and then we die? I also wondered about the authenticity of God and Satan until one cold Friday afternoon January 1995 when I had an overwhelming supernatural experience with God that changed my life forever. I distinctly remember the experience as I returned to the kitchen after taking my mother something to eat, when suddenly a powerful misty white substance swiftly swirled around me and lifted me up into the air. Going upward I saw a gigantic colorless male figure that looked as an enormous stature standing high in the sky, only He was more real than anything I have ever known. I knew right away that He was God. The next thing I knew He encased me in Himself as we were one and the same being merged together. The encounter was as though God reached down and pulled me up into Himself, and lifted the blinders from my eyes, and said, "Wake my child; it's time to know the truth and be set free."
