Reframing

Huh? Run that by me again. "There are no things -only words." Did you ever try to walk through a brick wall? This sounds like mystical gobble de gook. If G-d is every thing and every where - where is there room for you and me? I suppose you would have to invent "tzim tzum" where G-d contracts Himself. Can we just leave this to the unanswerable mysteries of life. No human can either understand or define G-d. We live in a finite and once expanding universe that is now contracting upon itself. When finally losing all motion the molecules will come together and "boom" another "Big Bang" will start the whole thing over again. If you so wish - G-d planned this and another miracle is born.
This is my attempt to meld religion and science without resorting to unintelligible verbiage.

The question is: Do we take instructions from Torah and then live life, or do we live life and then use Torah to advise us?
Some how it seems the latter. But I suppose it could be either, on an as need basis.

Yes, the challenge is to keep your perceptions true to the truth.
