Kabbalah Thought for this week
"Consciousness creates reality. For this reason, the Other Side attempts to raise doubts, crate uncertainties and induce immoraland negative thinking. The great gift of comtemplation and consciousnerss evenhas the power to determine the grade of soul that is drawn to an unborn child at the moment of conception."
From the Talmud
One is judged for consequences based on intention.
