233. Light Power

All that came into being...

...all the created worlds and all the ethereal entities that live in them, even the worlds that are mere emanations without tangible substance, even the worlds of thought and beyond to the realms of infinite light that preceded Creation...

--all this came to be only as a result of the thought of you, the earthly being, struggling in a world that only a infinitesimal glimmer of G‑dliness has reached in its purity, bringing light where light could not be.

And so it follows, that with one simple act of beauty, all those worlds and realms of light find their purpose fulfilled, and so shine yet brighter--and reciprocate with a burst of illumination into our lowly world.

That is why the entire creation can be transformed with one simple, sincere deed.

Never underestimate the power of light.

all that came into being article
I love this level of thinking because it helps us to realize that, as gravity has been found to be the one force that is connected from one end of existance to the other end, a fabric that is woven into everything that is, becoming a believer in our G_d truly connects to the real thinker and creator of everything that is. It is not our power that makes the difference, it is that such actions and thoughts by us are positive reflections of our creator and G_d's glad response to our recogition and actions that make G_d glad, like a proud father. So, Yes, our good deeds, etc. do make a positive difference in this world Satan rages around in so actively. This ought to drive us harder in fighting The Dark Side in this world, there is so much of it. Fortunately the overwhelming Side of this world belongs to G_d and we who belong to G_d. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! :):):)

The poetry was very touching and inspiring. It just show us that the love of our Lord has no boundary inspite of our lowly being, He give us His most precious thought.

Chanukah 1991
The room was sad, my daughter Margaratte just die, in the TV screen i see the Chanukiah lights in the 4 corners of Earth, and I remember the miracle of the teaching of the Rebbe Schnerson ,while suddendly the machine connected to my daughter Margarate in Boston Children Hosp. went blank, my soul was so elevated that took me 15 minutes to realized that she was gone. The positive of the Chanukah's light of 1991 was that my soul was elevated. Even today i still have that elevation during every year of Chanukah!

Yes - Light is great. In all it's infinite G-dliness! I so heartedly agree.
However - which came first - us?
The Light?
G-d?
