124. Serious Darkness - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Don’t take the world and its darkness so seriously --it is not as real as it feigns to be. It is only a creation and it is being re-created out of absolutely nothing at every moment. The only thing real about it is its purpose of being --that you should purify it.

Psalm 23 speaks of walking through the valley

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ...I wll not fear evil for
G-d is with me.....even tho this is very present and a reality we must all face ...(death is certain to all ) but after that a judgment...we do not have to fear death ..because of our Faith and Trust as did Avraham have when offering up Isaac ..He knew the character of G-d and that He changes not! Our Trust should be in Him...not in reasonings and intellegence on man...

Source

In answer to Ari's request for the source of this meditation: When the Rebbe introduced 12 verses for children to recite daily, one of them was "In the beginning, G_d created the heavens and the earth." This meditation is how the Rebbe explained the practical importance of that verse to a child--and for all of us.

Rabbi, I am in awe at the site of this wisdom.

Now I see why I must sit in the scholarly books day and night for many years to come. For it will take me an endless time to grow to the self refined person that can absorb every last drop of truth that can be squeezed from this olive that is saturated with an oil that can be pressed again and again and yet still be an olive that is filled with oil.

Where is the source for where this meditation is based on?
