The lessons from my belly button
By zevi770 · July 29, 2012
A belly button effectively is a hole
There is a Chassidic teaching about holes
It states that when Josef was thrown into the pit there was no water in that hole
However Rashi the famous commentator explains that though there was no water, snakes and scorpions were there.
Hence the lesson, that our mind is like a hole, if we do not fill it with positive, contributing, self-affirming, and love for others thoughts, it will collect – like a belly button – all the negative.
