Two Channels

E-mail

There are two channels from which to choose: the world of delusion or the world of true life.

The world of delusion is a world imagined to be its own truth, where nothing is of intrinsic value and all functions by the rules of chance and necessity. A world where you are nothing more than another background or shadow, an extra in a plotless movie, a disposable prop for a five-second set.

This world can be a very prosperous world. Whatever the scene demands, so you shall be given. Until it is time for the next scene to begin.

True life is a world in which you stand face to face before the Director of this grand drama. All things may change—the props, the backgrounds, the actors, even the play itself—but this will be forever. For it is truth.

I found direction
I asked for charity from rabbis and I prayed because of being stuck in a plot where I didn't know my part. I found direction getting the big picture. I had to realize what a mess I was in first and to then accept myself, know things can change & all is in The Director's hand.

The Director
The picture of Channel No. 2 in my mind is very comforting. The Director becomes our focal point providing spatial awareness as we move through life...as opposed to spinning out of control in fear.

two worlds
I am intrigued by today's "Dose" and I wish there could be more elaboration on that point.
