91. Hope

There is always hope.

Even when you mess up, you have not wrestled control from Him. After all the dust has settled, where you are and how you are is exactly as He had planned at the outset of creation.

And so, there is always hope.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

Viktor Frankl
Viktor Frankl would be proud of you.

Frankl reputedly went through 4 death camps and survived. He became a doctor in the USA. His conclusion to surviving the Holocaust was to keep your hope alive.

He wrote a book on the subject, the size of a pocket book and so his message is clear and concise and invaluable.

The Ultimate HOPE - to Reach the Goal of Creation
G_d expects us to correct our attributes and develop senses of the soul to match His.
Your only free choice is which path to take:

It is said those who come to be purified are aided with the method of gradual correction. This is the path :"I will hasten time".

Otherwise the forces of nature will pressure us with troubles and collapes as the world experiences now. This is the path: "In due time".

In this world we forget the ultimate goal and direct our focus on chasing after transient pleasures.
In the end, we will all attain the corrected vessels to receive the Light of Hhis goodness prepared for us.

How so very true it is when we all seem lost is when we finally understand that we never really had any control of things but that the lord does and will always have.

So it's absolute predetermination? Nothing we can do can change it if it was already decided at the time of creation - so why do anything? Certainly why pray? He's already done it all and its just running on auto-pilot?

I wish I could understand this G-d thing.

Sorry to interpret it sadly: An entire life of hope is not exactly good, I think. Sometimes it's fundamental, having hope, but too much hope maybe implies that the person`s consciousness is in a bad situation for a long time.
