Book Title Be Within Stay Above
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

No World

There is no world.

There is no collection of objects following stiff rules. No big machine following a precisely ordered procedure. No concrete, no materials out of which all is made.

There are no things, only events. Ideas happening.

All is but words of a story being told by its author. The music of the Grand Concert Master following His own score. Playing it His own way, living in the nuances, the tiny details of expression. Bending the notes at whim, sometimes changing them altogether, as if to remind the audience, "It’s my score, I am the composer. I can do as I wish."

Which just makes it all the more magnificent when He plays by the rules.

There is nothing else but Him.

Storytelling
Tzvi Freeman does it again.... uses the intellect to affect the heart and awaken awareness of the intuition about that which transcends all three. It feels so good too, to feel like a protagonist in a grand and glorious story with such rich and complex themes and fascinating conflicts. The arc of the story is in the living. Characters here have power to enact any one of a number of story lines to the inevitable denouement!!!!!

Holy Confection
and that is why my dreams are so sweet, He srtums my life with the same fingers that made all, filling every empty space in my life with the music of heaven.

It's so hard...
I find it so difficult to feel this when I'm going through hard times, but I know it's true!
Thank you.
