I was reading “A Walk Through The Void” by Dov Elbaum, when a glimpse of an understanding flashed in me. Something like this:
G-d is the perfection power and the motivation for perfection in us. When we take the wrong turn, do the wrong deed, speak in a way that is not conscious we do the “tzimtzum” (contraction) just like G-d We make ourselves smaller and by that create space to walk towards expansion and wholeness. This is how there is no “real” wrong and evil because when we face them in us it is an opportunity for us to be redirected towards awareness and compassion for us and others. Every void that is created by evil is an opportunity to be refilled by righteousness.
How does it sound? Is it redundant? Could you resonate with this? Do you have a minute to respond to me?
Aviva: First a technical comment. The font and color you are using is not easy reading. Suggest you choose something standard, larger than this. Blogging can be very satisfying but for it to work you need to treat it like journaling. You may have great silence, no response for some time. This is why most people stop. It has stopped me twice.
ReplyDeleterecently i read an idea that I dont know if it relates. The idea is that Fear is a variety of Love.
ReplyDeleteMy definition of god: our intelligence and our love.
"every void that is created by evil, is an opportunity to be refilled by righteousness."

It is hard to know what to leave behind when you contract. How much unconsciousness you can handle? In order to contract you lose some awareness, but how else do we grow? It might even be a way to be a way to become less ego centric.
