Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

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

« Previous

A sense of nothingness doesn’t mean being everybody’s doormat.

In fact, just the opposite:
A sense of nothingness is your gateway to infinite powers.

nothing

Thank you Rabbi Tzvi
I can understand nothingness in the sense that you are using it to mean that G-D creates the universe from nothing at every moment.

Other than that however there is no such thing as nothing and I still feel uncomfortable striving for a sense of nothing.

I guess its just semantics.

For Ezra

A sense of nothingness simply means realizing how tiny you are before the Infinite Creator who brings you into existence at every moment.

"Sense of Nothingness"

This is so hard to understand - how is a sense of nothingness a gateway to infinite powers?

sense of nothingness

Maybe this is a matter of semantics but I don't like the idea of a sense of nothingness.

I believe that there is no such thing as nothing simply because nothing is nothing and nothing else.

In other words nothing defines itself out of existence.

I would suggest terms such as serenity, peacefulness, nulification, calm etc.

Those terms mean something, not nothing.

Again...there is no such thing as nothing since nothing defines itself out of existence.
