The essence of The Tree of Life – The Sefiros
By zevi770 · May 12, 2016
Our life is either out or in balance.
Out of balance is either too much desire. (Which drives us out of our common-sense as can be seen by anyone who has a strong desire for anything, be it a person, so a parent will be illogical about their child (for example incapable of hearing anything negative) certainly addictions to drugs etc. etc.
On the flip side, there is too much fear / anxiety which causes us to desire to protect ourselves, so though we inherently wish to be free, we likewise will give up that freedom to protect ourselves (hence called acquiesce.)
But if we do this – and this alone – we are sane:
We need to stop driving ourselves (for however you cut it, we will either become nuts from desire or nuts from fear).
Instead we have to say (try it if you so desire) “Dear Creator – I know when I drive myself it is either into being nuts or anxiety – here… from now on, you drive!”
