Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

« Previous

Animals do not gaze at the stars and angels are confined to the realm of the spirit, but Man is G‑d’s bridge between heaven and earth.

Our bodies are formed from the dust, our souls are of the essence of G‑d. We alone can look at a physical world and see spiritual life and beauty. We who are beyond both heaven and earth, form and matter, spirit and body -- we alone can fuse the two.

The Bridge

If we are formed from earth elements, and our soul is ethereal and divine, then we contain heaven and earth so we can transform the form by purifying the heart on earth for the earth is penetrated by
Spirit, Love, innate goodness if we but let go of all our fear/separation, i.e. resistance. We are thus not beyond heaven and earth or our quest would be meaningless.

Great Honour!

This is a great honour for we human beings that we have access to both physical and spiritual world, simultaneously.

Great thought! Thanks for sharing!

Regards.

The Bridge

I've heard of animals saving lives and mourning loss. I've seen videos of dolphins playing with bubbles they create. I've even seen a story on a lion adopting a baby gazelle and risking starvation so that she could protect an animal that is usually her prey. So I don't know that they don't have a spiritual side.

I've felt the presence of the Angels here on earth and heard many stories of their coming down to earth - some in our own Sacred Writings.

So are we the only ones with a connection to both the physical and spiritual world. I don't know. Perhaps we are not better than animals or lesser than angels. Perhaps the bridge we need to erect is one between all beings, by seeing G-d in all that is. Can G-d's presence in one being be greater or lesser than in another?

Jacob's Ladder

Did Jacob make a bridge to Gd; or did not Gd reveal the stairway to heaven, upon which angels ascended and descended to the throne of Gd? Gd revealed himself to be the savior for Jacob; Jacob marked that place as the House of Gd.
