Opportunity Of A Lifetime

Surroundings make a difference. As I write this I am not at the usual Starbuck’s location. I ran into someone who once again has seriously been offering me the opportunity to sell for him on commission only, of course.   I realize that people have this stereo-type image of who a salesman is, from what he looks like to how he dresses, and the speed at which he talks. I realize there are sort of images that people have, and fully detailed images about what succes really looks likes, so here it is folks, this is the absolute best that I can do. My screen went blank about three times in a row. Despite what all the well meaning folks at Apple have told me, I am pretty concerned about his computer crashing with all its info and files. Also, people in general do not typically share even a small part of my dream, so therefore I use images, when words fail, and quote authors, or movies, when images fail, and when all else fails, I do what anyone else would eventually do.             I have talked to dozens of people, I have shared enough

Major Changes Behind The Scenes.

There is a concept that states that if you have a tendency to go to one extreme, its sometimes necessary to go to the other extreme in order to correct it. I am going to try to list three things that I came here to write about and then do y best to get the point quickly, upload a pic,. and get back to the endless work ahead. The hardest work I do on the web relates to some very technical details that I encounter nearly all the time. The technical issues crop up, when you try to do something differently or use a new software package. People will judge your website based on its current appearance and they will not care very much about how hard you have worked to get there. In my humble opinion, its better to give people (your visitors) a clue about whats going on, if you anticipate many changes. The direction which I am trying to move in requires that I obtain a greater command of code. Utilize more tools which form the framework of website that have more functions other than simply displaying text and images. For myself website development may have started

Global Website Changes

Money Tree- Israel Summer 2009

Followers of this website may not be aware, that there ia an entire network of websites and blogs that have been created by the same author/website developer. Therefore to alert our readers to this fact we decided to post this message to let everyone know the following: This particular website is the original WordPress website published by this author. However the same author can also be considered a publisher of website in part due to the sheer number of websites and/or blogs published by Stephen C. Sanders who has also started using his full Hebrew name Aharon Moshe Sanders both in his Facebook page as well as many of his blogs. The first website published by this author was published by this author in 2001. The website was a critical review about a play called “The Seagull live performance Central Park” where he wrote an in depth analysis of the play, stage direction, as well a review of the actors line delivery. In short this website developer has experience using several different interfaces which he has been utilizing to produce web content on a fairly consistent basis over the last decade.

The Goal; The Beginning-Ten Utterances.

October 24, 2011

Rabbi Yitzchak Luria (The Ari)-Author of The Ten Luminous Emanations) had great respect and honor for Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (Ramak)

The entire Universe the world and everything else that anyone in the past present and future was created, In the Beginning, by The Ten Utterances of G-d. If you don’t believe that this is possible then you might enjoy reading this piece mystically inspired piece. This being a classic type of article, that I simply love to write about or speak about and yes even think about, my regular readers will need to go and get a cup of tea, set their cell phone to vibrate and give yourself the 15-20 minutes or so, that will be needed to really get what this article is trying to explain.     First things first I do not at the moment posses an advanced degree in metaphysics, physical chemistry, or quantum mechanics. I do have a fairly solid understanding of the concept known as the Rad Shift, whereby objects which are moving away from one at great speeds display a sort of distortion of the light spectrum as their movement approaches speeds close to the speed of light. I do not really get how time moves backwards, yet I am continuously amazed at how maybe a month or so back we were

Yom Kippur- Repairing our past, preparing for our future.

Many orthodox Jews in serious prayer & one man connecting via cell phone.

Yom Kippur, repairing our past and preparing for our future.- Aharon Moshe Sanders- AhMBDvd, October 5, 2011 There are plenty of Jewish websites out there, and while the current on you are on is not exclusively A Jewish Website, it certainly does have many references to Jewish topics. I have included the You Tube Video below, mainly to notice a trend and state a simple concern. True Torah knowledge and understanding often comes to the individual at great expense. Popular trends will definitely be taking hold of all people including the group I simply call orthodox. Having started off my whole plunge into orthodoxy in Passaic New Jersey, I am very familiar with the various subgroups within the orthodox world. The simple concern is this. Understanding trends is definitely an important thing for people who need to earn a living (as of course everyone must be able to pay the usual expenses associated with living). Being Jewish or being Torah observant in itself does not necessarily mean that one is going to be embraced, accepted and supported by the Klal (the group). However the concept of giving Tzedakah (charity) as is chesed (kindness) is definitely a cornerstone and an important

Don’t Push The River That Flows-Fritz S. Perls

Don’t Push The River That Flows-Fritz S. Perls

Shanah Tovah, Stephen C. Sanders, Wednesday September 28, 2011 5;25pm. The problem with this time of the year is that I always want to see of feel a tangible change. While this website has certainly undergone many positive changes, its hard for me to report on what has changed within me. However just now as I finally realized that all kind of things happened, sometimes going my way, and sometimes not, I have still been steady at the helm bracing myself for the challenges ahead. Yes its a new year, yet I realized how backwards I have sometimes thought of these things. This year my heart simply was not into all the preparations, the new year is just sort of rolling in. I have actually accomplished quite a lot, particularly in having had my various web sites climb up the Alexa ladder, where they can now reasonably compete with other similar niche specific websites. The holidays we are entering into are supposed to be a time for reflection, and sure its normal to experience a feeling of regret for things we may not have accomplished in our own timeline. However we never truly clearly see what G-d has in mind

Intelligent Design-Holy Torah.

Woodstock Just In Love

This probably will be one of the shortest posts I will be writing on this website. The truth is when I there is a certain amount of pressure to conform to deadlines, start dates, and appointments, things get done. On one of my BlogSpot blogs I recently posted a comment that at one time I had actually taught a full program at a public high and then afterwards taught no less than four additional preps (4 different classes in different subjects) at a Yeshiva which required a significant commute. Ebbs and flows are natural cycles that are build into every aspect of the world in which we live. While I have been significantly involved in developing dozens of new websites (mostly for my own purposes) I also am faced with the results of imperfect planning. Sometimes we can become significantly sidetracked even by our own work. The amazing thing is how the offers for work fly in, when I am required to do my most effective thinking and planning on my own part. Getting caught up in the thinking and planning stages of any given project, is an extremely significant important thing to understand with all of its subtle implications.

This Week’s Torah Portion-Ki Seitze.

September 8, 2011
By
Graphic Representation of the Ten Sefirot

One thing I learned fairly recently, is that the Torah Portion of the week starts to “exert it’s influence on us” after Tuesday. Therefore the Torah Portion of the week which has information specifically relevant to our lives for right now, is the portion which will be read, or publicly lained in Shul this coming Shabbos. The name of the Parsha is Ki Seitzei, and is the portion of our Holy Torah which will be lained (read publicly from a Torah Scroll requiring a minimum of ten Jewish men- a minion to be present) this Saturday, Shabbos in synagogues and shuls all over the world. The portion is in the 5th book of Moshe (our teacher) which is also called Devarim (or Deuteronomy) in the non-Jewish world. The portion starts at Deuteronomy chapter 21:10 and ends at Chapter 25:19. When I resume writing this piece I will be discussing Mitzvah (commandment) given to chase away the mother bird, before taking the egg. While I normally do try to avoid using non-Jewish sources, sometimes expediency requires otherwise, in this case, its merely the words translated into English that are needed. Deut 22:6-7 (Jewish) )6 “If, as you are walking along, you happen

Like A Hurricane-Neil Young

NEIL YOUNG & Crazy Horse – Like A Hurricane (Live Rust) Music To Enjoy The Hurricane-Neil Young Classic Neil Young as only Neil Young might have expressed. Did Neil Young mostly compose all his own lyrics? “Like A Hurricane” Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that’s who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There’s calm in your eye. And I’m gettin’ blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I’m getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There’s calm in your eye. And I’m gettin’ blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I’m getting blown away. You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream. You could have been anyone to me. Before that
