No Repeats

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

If you are serving the same G‑d today as you served yesterday, who are you serving but yourself?

Can G‑d be frozen and defined? Does He get older with each day? Does He eventually, then, become of a relic of the past?

Where there is love and where there is awe, each day brings a discovery of endless wonder.

each day

this last sentence is beautiful because it is so true, and to see this, I believe is to enter into life in a renewed way. Because it's all wonder, and it's all ONE, and that perception is endless and continuous, in its uncovering.

I took a pastel course the other day, and woke thinking about this word, containing as it does PAST and EL. I think our concept of G_d is meant to evolve and that what WAS and what IS for each of us, is a changing landscape in terms of what we divine, about what is Divine. Since we're changing all the time, in every way, our conception of G_d should not be fixed in time, but augmented, as the days and the daze go by. Yes to AWE.

Without AWE we are not truly Alive to what IS: the colors, the ever changing colors, of our days. Paint the sky with stars.

The return of the 59/60th

Upon awakening, not necessarily when my eye's open, I walk my dog in the forest where I live. It is truly Wonderous to be aware that it is the same desolate wilderness as yesterday, but recognizing the changes in His Creation; wild flowers popping out of the earth, fallen trees returning to the soil from where they sprouted hundreds of yeas ago. Or the snow raining down, purified tiny unique fractals. I don't know how He does it, but it's amazing. And then the night time sky where there are uncountable stars in the Heavens, some blinking while others are pure streams of light. We are truly Blessed. Baruch Hashem.

Yes, the same G-d...

As it says in the morning prayer section of the Siddur Tehillat Hashem Nusach Ha-Ari Zal, which is used by Lubavitcher chasidim, "You were the same before the world was created; You are the same since the world has been created. You are the same in this world; You are the same in the World to Come."
It is not a matter of Hashem being "frozen," but a matter that Hashem's very being, as well as his expectations being the same throughout all of eternity. As it says in the commentary to Tehillim ch. 33 in The Artscroll Tehillim, "G-d has created the world to function according to consistent laws, each force assigned it's place and limit...G-d's will for mankind's behavior is constant. No person or nation can violate His mandates with impunity..."
So, yes we all serve the same G-d today that we did yesterday and that is a wonderful thing! It shows consistency.
