All of Jewish mysticism boils down to the following methodology: life is not about guilt, guilt is in fact a ruse of the Yetzer Hara; you see, when we see things in a fixed dimension, as much of psychology and western, as well as the thinking of various religions goes, you need to eradicate the evil for there to be goodness, however the truth is, we are no different to a blank computer, the question is not good or bad, rather which program you choose to download – or perhaps the internet is a great example, there is the greatest light and the greatest stupidity at your fingertips, can you consider the internet to be good or bad? no, it is your choice; so the aim of life is not to banish evil, but to continually light your life, with positive thinking! positive messages from Chassidus! and of course positive deeds!
