The world is not obstructing you.
It is challenging you.
It knows its deepest treasures can be revealed only by the deepest faculties of your soul, and it taps those powers by providing isometrics for the soul.

Resistance to Cross the Red Sea Resistance to moving beyond your selfish motives does not allow the Life Force of a soul to flow between us. This is our challenge and each has to effort to reach the corrected state expected of us.
Thanks, Brends. I like you taking this teaching back to the crossing of the Red Sea.
Isometrics Of Connection Peter, the soul is our greatest treasure.
It was shattered on purpose to provide us the challenge to rebuild it.
To rebuild it the Kabbalists Abraham Moses and others demonstrated how to achieve this inner connection between us. The sensation of this sublime connection is the presence of the Creator.
In order to connect we have to overcome the resistance of the egoistic force that works to separate us into individuals concerned with our own well being. Then we have crossed the boundary of our material world mindset.
Each time this sublime connection is lost, the soul-builders are challenged to attain a deeper form of connection. This is the details of the 'isometric' of soul-building.
The world will soon reach a state where all recognize the futility of our egoistic mindset. Standing at an abyss they will have to make the effort to escape it's control. This initial plunge is the most challenging phase.
