There is suffering in this World to motivate us to do something for the person/people suffering. Even if it is ourselves.
That is the G-d like presence in us all.
Repetition = perfection.:)
It is an opportunity for us all to bring the Great and Holy One into every situation, into other lives, and have Him in our World.
Excellent Lecture, Rabbi Freeman!

is also resonsibility as Sandra so beautifully wrote, above. We cannot make any move without affecting the universe, so every one of us is very important as we are part of a vast connective tissue that is sensitive to all that we do. We make ripples, as if we were throwing stones in the water, a good metaphor in nature for what happens. Those ripples go far and wide. Make them positive, make them shine. Chime on!
But it is very clear G_d knows what we will do, and that we are acting within a frame, a Divine Story with a profound learning curve.
As opposites do fold together, that old concept of yin yang, and also deeply coded within words, as whole and hole, wholly, holy, we are moving forward into what some term cosmic consciousness A new perception that is dominated by love. A compassionate universe with priorities that are about "Saving" The World. And we can do this together.
There is fear in this and there is a breaking through: The OM in Shalom! We're all in this together.

Any discussion involving these concepts, of choice, runs into a Wall, because we know, those who are deeply spiritual, that there is a Prime Mover in Creation, and when we ask for another year in the Book of Life, to be written into that Book, we are making the assumption that these decisions belong to G_d. We can pray for another year, and we can praise. We can do tikkun olam. We can atone for those things we feel we did that need atonement, and the word itself can be split, into At One Ment, and so forgiveness is a very Big Concept in Judaism and the recognition of what we did.
On the other hand, there is THE HAND of the Divine in all our days, and to recognize this, is to realize there is a cosmic story, that is also part of our days, and this can produce confusion. What is OURS, and what is, DIVINE. And if we are aspects of the DIVINE, then Divinity itself is moving through us all.
We must ACT as if, we have free choice, and we are taught to reach higher, in an ethical morality.

I really appreciated hearing Tzvi Freeman's thoughts and discussions on the Kabbalah and Healing. In answer to one question, the reason there is suffering in the world is that God gives us the freedom of choice. This world is a classroom in which all humanity is learning and experiencing first hand, and learning from our choices. Not only our own choices, but the choices of others. And we see how that affects us as a whole. G*d is good and loving. It is humanity that makes the mistakes. Even just putting a rocket in space, has then changed space. With every action is a response to the balance of all things. So in truth, the actions of every human being on this planet, past, present, future has, is and will affect the entire balance of everything.

i listened to the whole hour. It is the concluding remarks that are most powerful. Where am i and what am i doing to make my part of the world better ? Who other person(s) am i helping ? Where am i volunteering, giving charity, doing mitzvot ?
I enjoyed that much of the discussion was of a practical nature.
Yasher koach.

Picture a great fish composed of many smaller fish, the great fish is that composition. Each fish is deeply connected, being part of the great fish and each fish within that big fish, deeply connected to the whole and to each other.
We say the eyes the I's are the windows of soul.
There is surely an existential loneliness: a reflection of Divine loneliness.
To create a universe, to mitigate loneliness. The illusion of separate in one.
Since all is ONE, there is a deep unity in all words. We see the G_d in the word, good
The story we're gifted, has within it, the movement that is towards compassion, the compass within the word itself, our "true north". So, within a deterministic universe, in which G_d is the author, and final authority, we have been written, into a story, that leads to merger. A learning curve.
As for illness, this story is deeply about healing, the urge to heal, to be a savior. The same as tikkun.
We depart to enter that One, and also to retain that apartness.

When the healer convinces the soul that the body is important, the soul reaffirms that only through the body can the soul achieve it's purpose :Tikkun olam and healing and helping others through physical acts of loving kindness.

Kabbalah & Healing
A unique approach for healing professionals |
|
Illness emerges out of the soul’s yearning to escape the body. The healer must convince the soul that the body has meaning, that here and only here can the soul discover its own essence . . . | |
