Focus your camera lens on God and you will see God looking back at you. Seeing God is seeing divine light reflected from every facet of your life. The ancient wisdom of kabbalah will help you recognize that you have been looking at God all the time but missed the action. "God is the Compassion, the Strength, the Beauty, the Success, the Splendor, and the Foundation of everything in heaven and earth" (Chronicles 1, 29:11).
Esti Lazarovich Shachaf sees splendor/hod as the metamorphosis of a strange-looking earthbound creature with stubby feathers into a magnificent bird in flight. Scroll down to “Avian Strength/Gevurah” and see the same parrot in the first moments of its life.
