We take the laws of nature too seriously. We think of the world as though it
exists just as its Creator exists.
Therefore we have miracles. A miracle is a state of enlightenment that says, "Our reality is nothing but a glimmer of a Higher Reality. In that Higher
Truth, there is no world. There is nothing else but Him."

We take the laws of nature too seriously. Nope, I stop and look before I cross.
We think of the world as though it exists just as its Creator exists. Nope, too confusing.
Therefore we have miracles. A miracle is a state of enlightenment that says, "Our reality is nothing but a glimmer of a Higher Reality. In that Higher Truth, there is no world. There is nothing else but Him." "Him" is a bad usage; otherwise, seems right.

Hurricane of Hiati
I believe it is a miracle that any that believes in G-d can state or believe that G-D has nothing to do with Hurricanes or other natural negative events. How can one believe that G-d created the world in six days and then believe that G-D has nothing to do with the devastation, not only hurricanes, but the final solution that Hitler brought upon the Jews. God is merciful, but sometimes he makes a mistake.

If everything is God, haven't we just turned what is HOLY into what is mundane?

So there is no us?
Just him? We are him? Here is when Kabbalah gets tricky for me. I'm inclined to believe that we are a manifestation of Him. Each of us, is a kind of Neuron, or maybe not even-- more of a unit of electro-chemical in the great Divine Mind of G-d. But then that would say that G-d is the Universe, which is also said He is not. He is not the Universe, the Universe is a manifestation of Him.
So we are collectively an aspect of G-d, so, our flaws and needs are His, right? But, once again, G-d is perfect He does not have needs.
So are we a process, then? The flow of light to form? Light being His Desire reaching out to the Darkness to fathom it. Then it then implies that G-d's Desire is a lack, which is now back to where I started. He lacks nothing. So, maybe so do we, we are perfect as we are.
I really think this is a Pi sort of problem, you think you're getting there but then, you don't. I go back to the beginning, and I realize how small my brain is compared to the magnitude of G-d
