12. Return to One

In the ancient Book of Formation, it is written, “If your heart races, return to One.”

There are times when you find yourself in a state of inspiration, uplifted from the banalities of everyday life. At this time you must “return to One”-to the oneness of heaven and earth: You must resolve how this heavenly state will affect your earthly life.

Hear, O Israel...
The LORD, your Gd is ONE. Oneness, not as Buddhists or pagans would define oneness. Oneness is returning to the LORD who gave you life--who gives you life. Turn from that which divides your attention from the ONE who alone deserves it; seek the ONE who is alone is ONE.

Return to One, calms the one person;for when the heart races, imbalance is not far behind. The "ecstatic" state is unbalanced. This reminder also helps the ego--the sense of one's own importance--to halt, and correct--to merge again, with fellows.

to "bruce ronner"
you get inspiration when you do something extra special, out of the ordinary. For example when you are not in the mood of learniing/studying, and you open up the book anyway, then you have inspiration. I have just read this somewhere, that when you have a challenge ("nisayon") and you overcome it, then you recieve a special divine light. try it. you'll see!

What does return to one mean?
Who has experienced "returning to one" and is able to describe it to the average reader. How can you hope to inspire others if we have no comprehension of the subject?
