3. The Purpose

There are infinite worlds beyond ours and beyond the worlds of the angels, all full of divine light, beauty and oneness.

But know also that all this was brought into being with a single purpose: G‑d desires to be at home within your mundane world.

to anonymous 60 yr old grandmother
how could this have happened???? that is a scary and horrible thought, she is younger than me. of course i'll pray for her -- with hopes that you or some family will take the initiative to care for her - it's the only right thing to do.

Baruch HaShem, my grandmother is now doing well! She's returned home and no longer is out of it, but is still getting back to herself. Thank you everyone!

True -The Rebbe said it best!
This world is really awesome, yet in order to grow together with its miraculous vision we need to change or heal our perception; like a veil of dust our eyes are covered with the mist of darkness and loss- when we see beauty, both within and outside of us, we realise the beauty and oneness, the G-dliness of all there is.

My 60 year old grandmother was just hauled out of her own bedroom by the ER repeating the words, "So cold, so cold". Please if anyone can say some Tehillim for her please do thank you. She is very pale and cold. (She is not Jewish but believes in everything that is Jewish) Thank you so much.

Words Eternal
All words are eternal whether good or bad. Words can after we die announce who we are when we reach heaven. It is more then possible that the bad words of bad people also announce then right into hell. Words are eternal and do have meaning. by our own words we shall be justified, and by our own words we shall be condemned. So is it like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. for the beginning of all words can from both GOD and Adam's see Gen %:1,2

The Purpose
HaShem may not have needs but he obviously has desires. He desires to connect with us. We were made in his image so that we could have a meaningful relationship with him.
We were created with a desire for the same connection. Unfortunately I don't think most people recognize the emptiness, lonliness, depression or despair as the lack of fulfillment of our fundamental need to connect to our creator. So we buy stuff, we drink and we distract ourselves, finding temporary relief but not lasting peace, contentment and the fulfillment that only comes with the connection to our source.

Different Worlds - Different Qualities
Between your world and G_d's world is a disparity of qualities. The scale ranges from pure self-love to love of others.

G_d's purpose for us is to evoke the Light from the Torah to correct our beastly qualities until they are in sync with His. Then we will be as one tune, one frequency, like a radio tuner, that allows us to channel into His World

He accepts only one prayer from the heart: Correction then connection...until then we feel the differnce of qualities as pain and suffering.

Mundane World!
There are pain and suffering in the mundane world. But "G-d desires to be at home within your mundane world." This is really an interesting perception.
