The Greatest Kabbalah Mechanism

Once upon a time, the right side and left side of the brain had a conversation.

The right side – the creative – said to the left – logical – “how come you are not more spontaneous?”

Sneered the left to the right  – “how come you are not rational?”

You see, these two most important attributes, that of creativity, which induces joy, and that of logical, which, well, is the practical application of reality, though a tedious and “subjugative” process (for by nature, we all wish to be spontaneous – the nature of children – yet, as we mature, we realize, “if I don’t work, I won’t have money…”) these two regions are at war with one another.

(In a macrocosmic way, this is the war between men and women, for men are cute – they jump from one emotionally based fantasy to the next – but women are hard-core – they are focused – as John Grey writes about the woman brain – as long as her “to-do” list hasn’t been, “to-done” she cannot relax – hence, she cannot tolerate seeing him so happy (which is why, as the Rebbe said, doing the simple things, like taking out the garbage makes a wife feel grateful, for those small annoyances are imperatives to the logical brain.)

The question is, how can we marry these two hemispheres, getting the best of both worlds?!

The answer is:

The journey will be enjoyable if the destination is too! (for example, the field of psychology dealing with vacations finds, the best part of the vacation, is the anticipation!)

In other words, as the saying: if there is a “why” we can endure any “how.”

So let’s stop for a moment and focus on the why.

Why are we here?

The answer is simple, the world is dark, we are here to add light!

The next question is, why is the world dark?

The answer is, because sometime people are selfish (imagine a world, where you were the only one that existed – might be lonely, but pretty beautiful.)

So, hence the answer to darkness, selfishness; is light/ selflessness.

Ah’ – how to become selfless, for we are all born selfish (not that we don’t have ideals, but relatively speaking, our selfishness is always stronger than our ideals – the proof is in the pudding – how many people are altruistic?)

Hence the Bible!

For when we see ourselves, not as little entitled people, but servants of the Grand-Master! when we see ourselves as obligated to fulfill the will of our Master (613 for Jews and 7 Nohaide for gentiles) the very fact we are subjects, already sheds the ego!
