3 steps to Moshiach

Step 1. Know that who you are is not you, you are but a perception born in an infantile need for security and love, hence the childish naïveté, trust, hope, which is all nice and beautiful but simply not the truth, nor are you the tuff person, born in disappointment, resentment and desire to take your own back, rather you are truth, you are only the light of God within the physical form of a body, you are your life, your soul, and all life and all souls are basically the energy of God within a body, for without this energy the body ceases to exist, so you are not your physical body (which in any event – apart from the brain – is completely changed i.e. new cells, not to mentioned constantly recreated as all matter is, so you literally are a new person on an atomical level every moment) So who are you? You are God within a body.
Step 2. This is the way God works – 1. The Baal Shem Tov teaches three principles for all Jewish seekers, one is to act calmly but energetically; in other words, to be alert for goodness but to also be normal, to be active but to use your head, o.k. I hope you get the point
2. The Baal Shem Tov teaches, we must always be happy – but what if bad things come my way – how can I be happy? – though bad does exist, as everything comes from God, there is actually a good reason behind the bad, so in every bad thing that occurs to you (obviously if occurs to others you don’t do this) see the silver lining, discern the hidden reason, and then as it comes from God, what actually feels bad will in fact become something that will cause you to feel good.
Thirdly the Baal Shem Tov says, to not be an imbecile – in other words, we may not go into a delusional spiritual space, forgetting about reality.
