The spiritual dynamic
By zevi770 · January 20, 2014
Spiritually there is a reality we can tap into
Number one we must understand – the whole structure of our reality is that the spiritual is hidden from the material
In order for us to choose, not to be compelled, this had to be the structure
However as the Rebbe Rashab once told an atheist as they were traveling along a horse drown carriage together – four people are traveling here, myself, you the wagon driver and the horse, the horse is traveling as he will get hay, the wagon driver is travelling to make money for his family, I for a vacation and you for business, now because the humans have higher aspirations means not that those realities cannot simultaneously coexist unbeknown to the horse who is unaware of these realities.
The bottom line is, that because we are unaware of these realities, doesn’t mean they don’t exist, and there weren’t people who saw them and hence taught them to us – the Kabbalists
So here they are:
Firstly we must understand the verse “Jacob is the rope of God” in other words, we are connected like a rope, our souls begin in God and land in our bodies.
But just as if you pull a rope at the bottom, the top gets pulled; similarly all our actions below create reactions in heaven.
Hence the Maagid taught “know that all from above, comes as a result from below!”
In fact, the Alter Rebbe teaches, heaven is created in reaction to earth!
In other words, you and I don’t make a difference – all differences that are made, are, due to you and I!
Quite simply, as Chassidus teaches, and clarified by the Rebbe, it is our challenge, duty and opportunity to grow!
To grow means, that you are a beautiful being, but you have infinite potential!
To grow means, to realize, that today I can, must, should and will do more than yesterday!
