Pleading to Exist
Discuss (5)Isn’t this strange, that a created being should take part in its own creation? Can a caricature hold the pencil in his artist’s hand? Can the characters of your own story edit your words? Can the figments of your own imagination tell you what to imagine?
Yet here we are, created beings pleading with our Creator, “Grant us life! Good life! Nice things! Be out there, in the open! Get more involved with your world!”
Here we are, in the inner chamber of the Cosmic Mind, where it is determined whether we should be or not be, participating in that decision.
We are created beings, yet there is something of us that lies beyond creation.
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Thank you for your ongoing insights, and wisdom.... Your daily dose posts makes me wonder and think deeply about who we really are...
Many blessings to you and your family for this coming Rosh Hashana,
We are G-d's assistants in the Universe. Little Gods tending to become great. But we need humility; this is the key for this, co-creation.
