What if the past wasn’t a fixed narrative, but a living manuscript waiting for revision? What if destiny wasn’t a distant star, but a flame we could reignite with intention and deep spiritual work?
We often think of negative actions as stains on our timeline. But Kabbalah shares with us an amazing secret about the time we coming into now, as we reach what is commonly misunderstood as the 'Jewish New Year'. This period of 10 days coming up starting from the night of the new moon of Libra gives humanity a special gift; to rewrite our past and recreate our destiny, not just individually but for the collective. This period of time is an opportunity, a portal through which we can reclaim lost Light.
Rewriting our history and reclaiming our destiny through conscious correction.
What is commonly also misinterpreted by religion as repentance, the Kabbalists teach us that it is a code for a spiritual technology for rewriting our story. It’s not about guilt or shame as religion may have painted, but about returning to our true essence, the part of us that was never broke to begin with.
We often think of negative actions as stains on our timeline, but these moments are opportunities—portals through which we can reclaim Light that belonged to our soul, that was handed over to the opposite force to Light through choices made, based on a quick fix of energy needed to resolve or handle a situation that triggered us. When we identify the situations we’ve caused, not with judgment but with mercy and a yearning to reconnect, we begin the process of rewriting our history.
So in effect, this isn’t denial. It’s a transformation. It’s saying: “I see what I did. I understand why. And I no longer align to that thought, word or action. Now, I choose differently.”
True 'teshuvah' as this process is called, requires more than remorse—it demands positivity. Not the superficial kind, but a deep, soul-level optimism that believes in the possibility of change and the unconditional love of the Creator. When we feel love, wholeness, and forgiveness, we restore our desire for the Light. We realign with our soul’s original intention.
This is how we change our destiny, not by escaping our past, but by illuminating and transmuting it.
A New Year, A New You
As we prepare for this time period the spiritual new year, we’re given a cosmic reset. It’s a time to reflect, yes, but more importantly, it’s a time to rewrite. To look at our life not as a series of mistakes, but as a journey toward awakening.
So ask yourself: What chapter are you ready to revise? What destiny are you ready to claim?
Because the Light is always waiting. And your soul already knows the way back.
