'Today I would like to say a few words to you about the Teaching handed down in the esoteric tradition concerning the first day of the New Year. And as the only kind of knowledge that really interests me is that which can be immediately useful, you can apply what I shall tell you to your own everyday lives.
The Cabbalah teaches that each day is a living, sentient being which bears the record of all our physical and psychic activity. You might say that the 365 days of the year are like a magnetic tape on which each day is recorded with what is good and bad, happy and unhappy. So each year of our lives is like a magnetic tape recording.
The New Year is new and yet at the same time it is old with everything that we have already lived. The New Year is like the pure water of a mountain stream as it mingles with the stagnant water of the lowlands; it is new and yet it is not altogether new because it is lived by people who are dragging too many old things with them. This is why, although everything is new, they never manage to live an entirely new life.
Yes, we must understand the New Year better; we must go out to meet it in the deep conviction that it is a highly gifted living being and that it brings us valuable gifts; we must learn to prepare a lot of space within ourselves so as to be able to receive this abundance of gifts; we must continually sweep out all the old junk that litters our hearts and minds and make room for the New Year even before it comes.
The Cabbalah also tells us that the New Year is influenced by the stars.
The birth of a New Year is like the birth of a child: it is the beginning of a life that will last just twelve months.
When a child is born a horoscope is made based on the date and time of birth and in order to determine the unfolding of events in the child’s life. And we can do the same for the birth of a New Year; in fact, you should know that the first day of the year determines the first month, the second day, the second month, the third day the third month and so on.
So you must try to live, think, feel and behave as well as possible, at least during the first twelve days, so as to ensure an intelligent, luminous start to the year and thus influence and determine it favorably.'
