One of the primary teachings of Kabbalah is a healthy life is a balanced life – in the emotional mental realm this means a. we should be (hopefully) feeling positive but simoulntasnouly – b. (as opposed to unrealistic grandiose expectations) we should maintain an element of sadness (say 90% optimism and 10% pessimism)
Just as a parent infinitely cares more about how you treat their children than how you treat them, so too God Visa-via how we treat one another or Him
Just as it says that if you eat the Kasha of Tomchei Temmimim you will not die without Teshuvah, so too if you eat the poison of a Misnagidishe Yeshivah, you will not die without becoming a kofer
Only by Understanding God’s plan, namely, that He would bring the world to a place in which the fundamental aimlessness, which creates existential angst, for our soul seeks meaning – a meaningful life and purpose – would seek truth, and then truth forever would dance in His universe
The demon of jealousy is that “Though I am more entitled than you – you have more than me!!!” – and as that is unfair – it is now fair for me, to destroy you
Life, you can operate from your head or your heart, but you never from both
Can you discern between what is and what FEELS good
The Rebbe’s Mammer Basi Ligani 5719
The goal of life is to transform our foolish passions for foolish desires, into a passionate passion for Divine delights.
The reason man does not percieve the fact that he is a creation, is because his creation is the intention.
Everything besides man, is only there to assist his Divine service.
Whenever we study Torah / do a Mitzvah – God Himself mirrors what we do.
When we use our thoughts, speech and action, thereby enabling Divinity to transmigrate into our universe, we fulfill the ultimate purpose.
Male aspect of Kelipah / evil is the selfish, lustful and certainly sadistic desires – while the female element of Kelipah, Is Not Having the courage to do what’s right.
Through our courage and doing what is right now – we reveal the Holiness, which will manifest in the Messianic era.
JUST as God’s presence filled every fiber of non-existence before existence – so too after everything was created, it’s only not visible.
Just as a sacrifice was taking an animal that has its own selfish powerful will, and offering it to God – so too we must take our selfish powerful will, and transform our pleasure and desire, to fulfilling his will.
