My Journey As A Solo Traveler Crossing Into The West Bank, And Then Into Israel

 It's a snowy January day in Madaba, Jordan in the year 2022. I have been on a journey since the beginning of December 2021 to change the paradigm of my life. I have spent five weeks in Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. My second time in Sharm. And now I am finishing up my journey in Jordan, after spending three weeks exploring, Madaba, Wadi Rum and Petra. (Yes, I climbed all over Petra.) However, the highlight of Petra was experiencing Petra at night. As I walked through the candlelit, Siq, (a narrow rock canyon) I was transported into a magical realm. The Siq leads you to the Nabatean city of Petra. Candles are lit up on the desert floor as you are greeted by the famous treasury building of the Nabateans. 

The Treasury At Petra, Jordan

Right now, I am staying at a VRBO apartment in Madaba. The family who owns the apartment are delightful. If you don't know Madaba is the home to Mount Nebo. Mt. Nebo is where the Israelites settled before entering Canaan, modern day Israel. Moses has said to have died on this mountain. After Moses's death, Joshua became the leader of the Israelites, and brought them into the land of Canaan in 1200 B.C.E.

Fast forward to the year 2022, it is cloudy, dreary and cold. It's around 7:00 in the morning and a taxi driver, a friend of the family from the apartment is picking me up to enter Israel through the West Bank. I originally wanted to fly out of Amman, Jordan to Tel Aviv. However, the cost was astronomical because instead of flying directly to Tel Aviv, the Jordanian government has the airlines fly from Amman, Jordan and go all the way west to Istanbul, Turkey, only to come back to the Middle East to Tel Aviv.

So, here I am in the car going to the Israeli border and crossing the river Jordan as a solo traveler. This will be my second time in Israel.

As I am getter closer to the border, I see billboards with men with machine guns, with masks and turbines on their heads ready to fight. The words on the billboard were in Arabic, and I didn't want to ask the driver, what did the words mean? I am thinking to myself, oh my God this is Hamas or Hezbollah, wanting to recruit people into their cause. But at the same time, there is beautiful sunlight streaming down from the heavens overlooking Israel.

So now I am at the Palestinian border. A Jordanian man helps me with all my paperwork to get across the Jordan river. They take my passport, and I am concerned if I will get it back. They give me my passport 10 minutes later. And then I get on a bus, as I am the only one on the bus besides the driver. We have to go through a check point, show my passport and then we cross what looked like a footbridge over the Jordan river. 

I am now on the other side, the West Bank. I get off the bus and right away my luggage is thrown into a conveyer belt along with my purse. I pick up my luggage and I get to an agent, and she says, you have to wait for the time on your card which is 11.00, it is now 9:00 in the morning. 

So I wait, I go back to the agent at 11:00, and there is a problem. She said, my covid test is not valid then she said, it is valid. Then she said, you have to reapply for entry online. So, I go back online and there is a problem with the website. Now, I am being interrogated, the agent is asking me where were my parents were born? what are their names? She kept asking me over and over again. They wanted proof where I was staying in Jerusalem. I had to provide proof. Now, I don't have my phone and computer lined up and this is a problem now. 

For five hours, I am being interrogated, the Israelis were not going to let me in. They had suspicions I had a Jordanian passport, because 99.99% of tourists are not entering Israel through this border. Finally, they let me enter Israel through the West Bank.

In this time period one had to take a covid test, as you left a country and then when you enter another country. So, I took the test, had to get a taxi from the station. The Taxi driver drove me to Jerusalem. I am staying at an Airbnb, a five-minute walk to the old city with the Damascus Gate and the New Gate right at my fingertips. 

My entry through the West Bank was an invaluable experience. Israel has control over this border as well as Gaza. I feel that is part of the conflict, the Palestinians don't have control over their borders. However, if the Palestinians had control over the borders, would they be as tough as the Israelis? Probably not. And that puts Israel in a very vulnerable position. 

My first trip to Israel, I wasn't aware that 28 countries in the world DO NOT recognize Israel. It was an eye-opening experience, to realize Israel is not recognized. I left Israel asking myself, how long does the state of Israel, have left? 

The Israel-Hamas war started on Simchat Torah, for those of you who don't know, this holiday ends a cycle and starts a new one. All services start reading from the beginning of the Torah (the Old Testament) from the Book of Genesis and onward, through all the books and completes next year at the same holiday. 

Israel has a right to exist. Just like the Palestinians have a right to exist, but without terrorists' groups controlling them. 

Israel and Jews are the scapegoats for our society. In her book, The Scapegoat Complex, Jungian Analyst Sylvia Perera says, "In the Western World the scapegoat role has fallen onto Jews and other minorities. These groups have often carried values needed by society as a whole, but values the culture prefers to keep in the shadow."

You can see in history, “Blame the Jews, it’s their fault.” Look what’s happening right now, Israel is to be blamed for their misfortune. The world does not have empathy for Israel or the Jews.

As a scapegoat myself, I recognize the blame people put on Israel and the Jews. Since I was three years old, I grew up in a Jewish Neighbor on Long Island. And my Personal Training business attracted all Jewish people. 

I am Jewish by choice. There is a great saying, Jews who have converted, were Jewish in another life and found their way home. The great Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria declared, "In our present Aquarian Age, the souls of the Exodus generation shall again become incarnated."

Can you step back and learn about the conflict with an open mind, and about the history of Canaan, Israel, Judah, Syria-Palestina, and then Palestine?

Friday The 13th And it's Connection To Israel...

Today is Friday October the 13th, 2023. 

In the time of the Crusades, the elite soldiers, the Knights Templars, were executed by King Philip of France on October 13, 1307 C.E. on a Friday.  That is how we get the superstition of Friday the 13th. 

The Crusades 1050-1320C.E., a war led by the Catholic Church to take back the Holy Land (Israel) from Muslim rule. Members of the Catholic Church were defeated. Rome became headquarters of the Catholic Church, thus the Vatican started to be built. 

The Holy Land (Israel) is home to the Judeo- Christian worldview, and only to Mohammed’s night vision in Jerusalem. 

Today, ignorant people blame the Jews for taking back the Holy Land, and say, it is not their right. Why? 

Which Path Are You On-The Social Path Or The Spiritual Path?

There are essentially two types of human beings: those who are on the outward path, and those who are on the inward path. A person following the outward path looks away from Bindu [known by another name in Judaism's Kabbalah as Binah] towards the outside world. He is almost entirely motivated by external events. This is the path of most people, and it leads away from self-knowledge and into bondage. 

The other path, the reverse path is the spiritual path, the path of wisdom. On this path, the person begins to face the Bindu, turning inwards towards the source of being. This path leads to freedom. The path of evolution is the outward path of manifestation and extroversion. The path of involution leads back along the path that has produced your individual being. It leads back to the Bindu to Sahasrara. In fact, the whole purpose of yoga practice is to help direct your awareness along the involutionary path. -Excerpt from Kundalini Tantra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Do You Need To Be "Psychic" To Know If You Are Soul mates Or Twin Flames?

I was doing a little research, and I put out a question on Quora, asking: Do you need to be Psychic to know if they are your Twin Flame. 

These are some of the responses I received:

Dee- I do not believe that one needs to be psychic to know that a person is a Twin Flame.

Kat-No, you will just have to be in your Soul energy. Your mind will keep on questioning everything, but your Soul knows.

Beth-No not at all. It's more about an inner knowing and whether the signs are there as well.

Twin Flame-No, you don’t but you will be able to recognize at the soul level that this person is a twin flame. Its an inner knowing, something you can’t shake.

Twin Flame writer-No, you only need to listen to and trust your heart.

Tat-No, you don’t. A twin flame connection is something that you cannot confuse with anything else in the world if you have already felt it once :)

To understand I like looking at the chakra system. Below the heart is the world of our five senses-our conscious ego mind. Above the heart is the world of our sixth-sense, this is the world of the spiritual. 

The Understanding of Soul Mates and Twin Flames Evolved over the years, but not in a good way. It was meant for the Age of Aquarius, not for mainstream society in the Age of Pisces.

When we are enticed by an esoteric subject such as soul mates and twin flames and deviate from the path that it was meant for, such as a spiritual path. We don't really understand the difference between the two worlds. Now we created a spiritual ego as opposed to understanding the world of the ego, has the five senses, but the world of the soul is governed by the Psychic Clairs- a sixth sense. 

Both people must be Psychic in order for them to recognize the soul within themselves and each other. Otherwise, it is just the ego, latching on to something Spiritual. If you are attached to your spiritual ego, like the great Sufi Master Llewelyn Vaughan-Lee says, "you have put your soul out of reach for this lifetime."

Nobody Cares About My Story, But You Would Be Enlightened If You Did

Although the people from Oprah didn't review my book, Charismatic Connection. They did send a personalized letter saying, it sounds "uncommon, yet enlightening."

To which my publicist said, it was a great commentary on my book, they don't normally send a personalized letter. It's nice when we know they truly considered the book, considering what a huge outlet it is!

The Understanding of Soul Mates and Twin Flames Evolved over the years, but not in a good way. It was meant for the Age of Aquarius, not for mainstream society in the Age of Pisces.

First, most think a soul mate is ordinary and second, most don't have a worldview that includes a connection to one's passion, which is connected to your soul mate's passion. My story involves my passion, it is not your (the reader's) passion.

However, the underlining message of my story is that Chris and I woke up from our deep sleep, and recognized each other from time immemorial. But the recognition was not familiar to our conscious minds (ego), nor did it feel like we have known each other all our lives.- That definition is a misconception from the people who mistake the personality (ego) for soul recognition. In an ordinary attraction, it feels like home and familiar to our personality (ego). The connection Chris and I had was about our deepest most profound essence, in short- our souls. 

Charismatic Connection:

Chris and I …

1988–1991- Waking each other up to the power of soul recognition.

1992–1999- Getting in touch with our own souls, and the Beloved. And working on our egos.

1999- Receiving a Charismatic gift from our own souls, and the Beloved. We are Fully Awakened now, to our own souls, and our connection.

Three Soul Mates had a past life love of horses and fox hunting in Yorkshire, England, and Reincarnated in the south shore of Long Island, New York for their love of horses and racing.

Serena Jade's Passion Led Her Down The Road Toward An Authentic Soul Mate.

​​​​​​​What Is Your Passion? 

May the “eyes” of Charismatic Connection, be a Window to Your Own Authentic Soul Mate Experience.  

Inspired by the Amazing True Saga of a Champion Jockey and a genuine Soul love. As soon as Chris and Serena lock eyes, their souls recognize one another.

Chris and Serena psychically sense their exalted bond, through the sweet whispers of their soul.

She is spellbound by him, and he is mesmerized by her. Eternity shines through time in their presence. They wake each other up to the caress of a spiritual love, penetrating deep within them. Their charismatic connection goes beyond an ordinary physical attraction. It is the deep-seated understanding each of us are fated and destined to experience.

Serena Jade Talks Ascension On The Spiritual Path Toward Union With Our Twin Flame

What is the ascension?

"It represents the point in the soul’s evolution when it attains immortality. Through the ascension, the soul merges with the I AM Presence and returns to the Father-Mother God, free from the rounds of karma and reincarnation. This process of returning to the source is recognized throughout the world's major religions, although the terminology used to describe it may differ."-Elizabeth Clare Prophet-

Elizabeth Clare Prophet if you don't know was a New Age spiritual leader. She and her husband started the church of the Summit Lighthouse. At first, they belonged to the Great White Brotherhood, a New Age religious organization. Then broke away and started their own organization. She and her husband wrote a large volume book on Soul Mates and Twin Flames on the spiritual dimension of relationships. Elizabeth Clare Prophet wrote a much smaller sized book on the subject.

The Great and Universal White Brotherhood based much of their wisdom on the esoteric wisdom of all the major religions, as well as the Summit Lighthouse.

The esoteric part of all the major religions are a much different concept to their mainstream counterpart. This is much due to the deep understanding of the soul. Mainstream religion focuses on our ego in relation to society, and worships a God outside of us. While their esoteric counterparts get in touch with the soul inside of us, whom is deeply connected to a God that transcends the mainstream God.

Back to ascension: All of the esoteric wisdom talk of uniting our limited ego and spiritual soul-this is where our human nature merges with our spiritual soul, which is absolutely connected to the Beloved force outside of us. This is ascension. The ascended masters as well have reached this level. Elizabeth Clare Prophet uses her own words for this process, but it is based on the esoteric wisdom of religion.

Ascension is done on our own with the help of our true soul mates, who wake us up to our spiritual soul. When we reunite with our twin flame, we ascend even further.

This is ascension. Are you ready to do the work that is involved?
