The Moment

Time is for the physical universe and all objects in it, including our bodies. So for those who identify with the body processes this teaching is significant and helpful. However, as we realize the awareness of the soul, which we are still conscious of upon first awakening (before thought gets going) we share in the Creator’s awareness, and the “Now”.
It is the ego, the false “I” that gathers a lifetime of experience behind it, that tries to control life experiences for pleasure, protection, and other things it desires, and puts us in conflict with other egos and the Creator Himself. It is false because it is merely conceptual, but it is impossible to unidentify with “I”, yet we can ignore it and look higher. The Universe exists in the “Mind” of the Creator, who keeps order in it, so this is the only “I” that is actual. When we are receptive to the Divine awareness, His “I” becomes our “I”, which is called (I,I) and everything smooths out for us. Reply

Each moment in time represents a part of our past and a portion of the present. What we do with that moment is up to each of us, we have the opportunity to ignore every part of it, or we can begin to utilize that particular moment in time for constructive work that both needs to be done and work that will benefit us in the next moment of time. Just as G d gives each of us the opportunity to choose between good and bad, we too have the choice to deal effectively with each moment or to allow it to pass. However, when we leave moments pass and don’t use whatever knowledge we’ve gained from the past moment then we lose the opportunity to use what we’ve learned and additionally gain further knowledge by dealing with that particular next given moment.

Rv. Tzvi, the animistic background of the East and the love, is rare in the rabbinical field.

Making Soul Moments Spiritual work makes your soul.

The kabbalists knew how to balance Nature's 2 forces. Our egoistic will and the power of the Light. At this moment of balance the light corrects our desire to profit with the divine intention to reward others.

That part of my nature which has been corrected to act in G_d's image becomes filled with His Light. Each step along this fine balance between me and Him creates my soul.


Now is the moment in our world that this work is available to all who aspire to reach heir purpose along a pleasant journey. Reply

It is actually an infinite number of faces that we cannot comprehend as each string in time intersects every other string in time. Reply

THE MOMENT It is as Ruth Rosenblatt states, 3 faces. This is said in the original statement, it just wasn't given a number. The very last sentence "And it is a moment for itself, with its own meaning, purpose and life." states, without minimizing the significance, and yet doesn't include it in the number of faces. I do wonder why. I read all comments which came before mine, and enjoyed every nuance.

Thank you all. Reply

The Moment I tend to think "the moment for itself" might be called Mindfulness, or being in the now! Reply

Moments It's our journey. Our walk. One foot is always in front of our bodies and minds. One foot is always behind. It is the center of who we are that stands in the present. Our heart and mind, where our G-d is bound and written. Reply

Time Remember All There are two interesting things about time. One moment has past the other moment is still to come History defines what kind of people we came from and includes our own past as well. The future plans are for our betterment in this life with the aim of making plans for the betterment of our lives and and that of mankind.for then we have meaning purpose and structure in our daily living.

Past, Present and Future United Let us remember past joyous occasions and mitzvot. Let us pursue mitzvot in the present. Let us aspire to achieve greater mitzvot in the future and G-d willing with the arrival of Moshiach; enjoy a world of never ending joy Reply

Thank you for this simple and eloquent reminder of all that each moment holds.

Yes, it is wrapped in the outer shell of past & future, and it is up to us to get to the juicy inner now, and as you said, discover "its own meaning, purpose and life.

Savor the moment! Yes, indeed, as I am now. My heart is opened. Reply

The Moment In the Daily Dose, "The Moment", it is described as two Faces; Past and Future. Is it not three Faces? Because the present itself has a face. Reply

THe moment Love your stuff. BUT I'm too busy trying to stay in the NOW. If I got one foot in the past and one foot in the future I'm missing TODAY. And TODAY is for Mitzvot and Torah. Shalom Reply

The Moment From my 2 cents I would add - mostly for me - Embrace, savor and live each one. Who knows if that special moment will pass this way again.
I enjoy the Daily Dose. I appreciate the few words that ties the thoughts together as a carpenter who uses the necessary amount of nails to join pieces of wood without ruining the integrity of the wood. Thank you Reply

the moment Every moment comes with what affected it and what it will affect.
"how" it affects and "how" it will affect, is up to us. Reply

Just in General I read the Daily Dose every day. I cannot miss one. Each one has a subtle little thought which opens the way to others.
Yes I think about them when waiting for the train, drinking my coffee, or even with some even while at work!!
Many are steadfast in my memory, for example those recently about Light. These have changed my approach to everyday life.
Yes I respect their plain wisdom seen at first look, but in fact though this wisdom covers a world of far reaching profound thought, understanding and belief.
As a Jew, the Daily Dose mean a lot to me. Thank You. Reply
