22. Now

I love these daily meds. Teaching the importance of a culture of inner peace that has the potential to awaken and spark others to the quest for a fulfillment of higher blessings... Higher blessings are given and available to us once our finite minds decide to cease taking each other for granted, and practice peace. "Now" Is also decision making time. PRAYER is what people do all over the world. Letting go of loss, letting the mind relax so that the heart can achieve its necessary opening to pathways of true forgiveness for any sin:omission/forgetting. (Was the stone with which David slew Goliath of the same 'consubstantiality' as the stone that will build up the 3rd temple?) May He be the One to move within His people the living strength of his firm hand within Creation May your strength in prayer be tempered with humility May G-d move our hearts & minds with His glorious might and power to always endeavor to heal, not to harm. Then may we merit a new mantle of His Love.

I have been searching for the source of this statement for a long time. Can anyone please tell me exactly where I can find the original text? Many thanks.

Every day, evening,night, morning, noon and afternoon, every moment, every instant etc., anytime we fail to do the Mitzva we can, or do the transgression we choose instead, it is as if we have destroyed the Temple and therefore the world in our own time. And the reverse is true. When we flee from a transgression and run to do that Mitzva, it is as if we had rebuit the Temple and redeemed the entire world in our own time. Sela

This is what what we were made for.

If the Sea of Reeds parted when no one was there, would that have been a miracle? The last 2 Daily Dose emails were of perfect timing. We are all connected, like cells in a body. The great sages of today, the great warriors who fight evil today, the great statesmen who will change the world of today, all of these big movers and shakers take heed, tremendous heed, to your daily doses that are so on target. And the wonderful thing is, somehow, magically and miraculously, all the little sages, the little movers and shakers, the common laymen, the seemingly less powerful people, also will change the world in the same direction and at the same time as the big movers and shakers. And if you add up all the repairs the little people make, together, well without their help, the big movers and shakers could never get done what needs to be done. We are all on the same page. How connected Chabad is, is a miracle in itself. You reminded us the mission is to bring light, not just fight evil, now.

My understanding is that of the seven things that preceded Creation were all the souls. I believe that there were 600 and all the offshoots.

I hear and will do

Blown away. Every day I receive your Daily Dose, Lessons in Tanya , Daily Mitzvah, and other Chabad educational material. 8 times out of 10 one of these meditations relate, in some way, to questions that I have been pondering. Today's Daily Dose could not have been closer. Where ever I go I take comfort in enhancing the habitat for the beauty and light of G-d in this world. I pick up trash, or save garden worms in the street while I’m on walks, small things done because I can. Usually my prayers are of thanks and appreciation, rarely asking G-d for personal help in light of my own insignificance. Yesterday, with more than my usual focus, I prayed about a situation involving my home, and a financial debt owed to me for over 13 year. Assuring G-d that I would use this money to bring light and beautify in this small part of His world. This morning I received notification that the situation will be resolved tomorrow. Under this e-mail was The Daily Dose. Are you eavesdropping?:)
