Supermind

It has given me spiritual direction

I enjoy and rely on the daily doses for a minute of thought to take me through my busy day. however, in the past few days, i feel that the doses are much too intricate to swallow in a minute or two. i need to keep reading and even then, i feel there is so much trying to be relayed and it doesn't become just a "dose". is there any way you can break them up more, or simplify them?thanks

I read this on the day before Shabbat and approaching the 4th of July in America. My supermind right now is there are things I can not understand but I am still grateful for the simple daily life with all the troubles and cheers the L-rd gives us. I thank you for regarding things I can not understand there are wonderful people like you dedicated their lives to the study of Torah to remind people llike me. Wish you a good rest coming up and let us celebrate the freedom to exercise our supermind for the Name of our G-d.

Above reason and above knowledge.

I love Yvrit.

Seems mind, supermind, and Emunah are relatives of Rabba Emunatecha from Modeh Ani involving G-d's Great Faith in us, our Bitachon/steely trust bond and Daat the Essential Truth gleaned from Wisdom and Understanding and which is made real within every bone in our body and resides in our heart.

That's the esoteric part. I like the bread and butter items - mitzvot, Torah Study, prayer/meditation and just being an all-round good person. Easier on the brain. For some of us, we remind ourselves at some point or points during the day ( call it Emunah in action ), that there is a Purpose to it. For me, the more days i remember to say Modeh Ani gives the greater likelihood that i will follow it up with The Shema.

I also like that it is not blind faith. Inner vision is more concrete, to form or be formed by an inner vision. Sometimes the whole gamut can get overwhelming. Then along comes a wonderful simple process.

Thanks.

you know, like how can you state what it is when it is larger than words,it's so universal, to put words into it would distort it and limit it.

Like light, you can slow down light, you can make it standstill, but then it won't be light anymore you know-it'll be some kind of distorted version.

separating light from darkness--separating what it is from what it's not.

it's the back of the face, you know. nobody sees the face and lives.

No neuron has ever ventured out of the head to see the face that owns it.

that's my take.

shalom

For years I tried to convince myself I was an agnostic since nobody can prove one way or the other whether Gd is real. That was my intellect.

One day a voice inside me cried,
"STOP saying you don't know! I DO know! Gd IS real!"

And I believed that voice and obeyed it.

Is that what you are talking about here?

If you mean emunah we need you to say so. As it is, we have no clue. You only say what it is NOT, and lots of things are NOT THOSE.

WOW! It blows my mind. It makes me think harder. It helps me understand who I really am. How I evolve from whence I came, to where I will travel. A full circle.

Rabbi Freeman, you (or the Rebbe) are totally right. One can be born with it and always know, that it is there behind the shifting clouds.
Shabbat Shalom!

Dear Rabbi Tzvi,
In one intense meditation I heard a quiet voice drown the loud nagging one that's insisting on a destructive path that will align my inner and outer self... and it said: Life moves forward. Decide from this point on. So in effect it was telling me that the present is who I am, regardless who I was--even a minute ago. I don't have to live up to the sins I committed in my head and choose on the basis of that, but be the person I am at the present, free of sin and brand new. It frees me to do the right thing again.SO if the truest self is outside of past actions, where is it exactly found? Its beyond our minds, as you said. It is not stored in the Limbic Brain that holds our memories--but is created every minute, every second, refreshed and renewed somewhere science cannot reach. So I totally get this and appreciate reading it. In fact there is a name for it! "the tests of emunah" is my lesson for the week. Funny how I live it first and then on the same day i gain insight on it, Daily Dose explains it. This site is truly inspired. It saves my day each time I need to be saved.

Another heartfelt thanks, it is a blessing to be a subscriber of Daily Dose!
