A succinct guide to Jewish mysticism

 

 

Passed on from Mosses only to the greatest scholars of every generation

 

Held secret for thousands of years

 

And revealed, as the messianic dawn is upon us, by the Baal Shem Tov

 

This wisdom, if anything, can be described, as not seeing things in our world, but energy

 

Think of energy as temperatures

 

Cold is bad, really bad

 

Heartless, unfeeling, insensitivity

 

Warm is good, real good

 

Compassion, sharing, caring

 

But hot is when ones ardor, even for the good removes one from the dimensions of reality

 

And so instead of expressing

 

Compassion, sharing, caring

 

They are simply gun-ho about an alternative reality

 

Now all energy must have a source

 

The source for cold, is fear

 

Fear causes us to protect ourselves

 

We erect a barrier around our heart, not allowing others in

 

The source for hot, is love

 

Like the absolute naïve trust of a child

 

The unconditional love

 

Sweet but dangerously naive

 

But then there is warmth, a mix between the hot and cold state, but leaning towards the beauty of warmth

 

When we humbly accept that we humans react emotionally.

 

For us to act lovingly

 

A higher wisdom beyond our emotions

 

An infinite supreme understanding

 

A compassionate loving God!

 

In the Bible

 

The mission of warmth is set out

 

It’s called Mitzvos

 

Succinctly

 

Always increase your goodness and kindness!
