26 Minutes
Written for Steve Cohn & Rabbi Levi Cunin, by Eric Sander Kingston (www.ericsanderkingston.com)
Our 2nd Temple is gone. Yet instead of only weeping we sang Niguns. We read Psalms. We sang “As the deer thirsts for water, L-rd so ‘our’ soul longs for you.” We sang and united and Prayed for 26 minutes, and in those 26 minutes all “baseless hatred” faded away from the earth and the Four Worlds became One…
And for 26 minutes in heart and soul
We spoke with the Burning Bush
We saw the Pillar of Fire
We walked through the 2nd Temple
For 26 minutes in heart and soul
We saw the souls of All Israel
We walked with Elijah
We heard Moses and the Prophets speak
For 26 minutes in heart and soul
We danced with the Divine
We became one with the Torah
We experienced, in heart and soul the Divine Essence of the 3rd Temple
One day
the 26 minutes will expand the Hidden Light of Heaven into our world
and we will experience, not only in heart and soul, but in body and upon the earth
and we will rebuild the 3rd Temple
and we will become the 3rd Temple
because we are the 3rd Temple
and
the 3rd Temple
is
us

w003_INTEGRITY: THE ATTRIBUTE OF KINGS
INTEGRITY
THE ATTRIBUTE OF KINGS
Written for & Inspired by
Steve
by Eric Sander Kingston (www.ericsanderkingston.com)
All you have is your word
and your word must be gold
“no piece of paper can hold the metal” of your word
you alone
must forge your word into the shape, and sword, of your integrity
Make no mistake
Heaven is always bearing witness
as is Earth
as is the community
as is your soul
And
the metal of your forged word will yield your true integrity
The forging of your word takes place in
the actions you take
the commitments you keep
the trust you seek to build
Therefore, the attributes of
Truth
Honor
Justice
Victory
Compassion
Judgment
Foundation
construct the metal sword of your word
and the endurance and depth of your INTEGRITY
Only you will know the real depth of the merit of your word
but keep in mind
if the sword of your integrity does not run deep
your sword will break in battle
Remember also
the battle of the soul, until the end of days,
is in constant struggle between
itself
Heaven & Earth
and
each other
Therefore, there must be “metal in your words”
if you want your integrity to mirror that of a King or Queen
Keep always in the center of your being that
the integrity behind and within your words, are why you are where you are
who you are
and are creating and reforging what you are
And remember,
the ability of the soldiers of your words
will be based on your daily integrity
So forge the integrity of your words with the passion of Royalty
and when your words, thoughts and actions become unified as one
your sword will be that of a soldier of peace who can change things with his words alone
The True Warrior who reflects the Highest Integrity of the Highest King
who does not draw his sword
because he does not have to

w002_The Three Paths
The Three Paths
To Steve & Metuka by Eric Sander Kingston (www.ericsanderkingston.com)
Dear, Dear Friends,
The Path to Self
Remember: The love you seek is already (all ready) within waiting to be shared. The place you live NOW is your dream house from the love you share. The love you share connects all things, hopes, dreams, possibilities and unleashes unlimited potential. Keep your inner circle pure with people filled with love & faith. Remember, not everyone is meant to be within your inner physical circle and that’s OK. Those others you can help with your focused Prayers and love. Just as some foods are not meant for you too eat, but ok for others. So too, some peoples energies are meant to help evolve you and you them. And some people’s energies need to be evolved by others or themselves. The path to self unites us.
The Path to the World
Remember too, all blame and anger create tension that migrates somewhere in the body or soul or both. Become the master of your own self by weighing the principles of G-d’s Life Gift to us. Ethics of the Fathers states “to save one life is to save a world.” Let us remember this for ourselves and our own internal world. We came here to assist each other in the development of planet. We came here to assist our own being to see within our own selves to assist in the development of our own souls. We came here to, as The Rebbe said, “to bring Heaven down to Earth.” The path to the world unites all people.
The Path to G-d
Remember, the path to G-d is most simple. It’s the unification of all paths. The letting go of the illusions that the many paths are more than one. And even more, it’s the letting of the one to go the place which counts without numbers & speaks without words. The greatest illusion is that we believe we walk many paths in life and we DO NOT see that ALL paths are One and that One is ALL paths. All paths lead to infinite possibilities. Our challenge is to know we are more than what we believe. It exists in the letting go of the stagnant image of ourselves. When we let go of that frozen belief we can behold the infinite staring back at us. WE can experience the bewilderment of the Void. WE can become ONE with G-d and yet remain whole within INFINITY.
The main principle to remember is that we are love and love cannot be put into simple words and phrases. Love simple is. “Love, like water, will find a way.” Remember this. All paths are simply rivers that connect to the sea. All the seas are water. This IS the secret of the paths. Man’s illusion is there is a puddle, there is a pond, there is a river, there is an ocean. G-d’s truth is that there is only water manifesting in the illusions of puddles, ponds, rivers and oceans. Let go of projected prospective and merge into the Ethereal Waters of G-d’s Understanding for those Waters NEVER run dry.
Your Friend,
Eric Sander Kingston & Family
