The Baal Shem Tov taught there are two paths:
G‑dliness is everything.
Everything is G‑dliness.
Where the two paths converge, there is G‑d Himself.
Two Paths Two brains forcing it further than the northern star that G-d is placed -the two brains have to travel to emerge as one and see G-d as one presence but how? Will the two brains pay rent to the devil himself or will one brain pay reant to the devil himself and another be good and pay the price of being too good to be known yet be very very loved by G-d--How will this story settle out? Between the two brains....is there any win or lose with G-d or just to be loved? Be guided by the two paths that is the only way to find this out. Reply
Dear Dr.Jose Ruiz, I understand that according to you-doctors have no compassion for the patient who has a strong strong belief in G-d and prays. Is that generally what you are leading up to with the burning bush theory? Because I want to say you have alot of anger and some ignorance to say that about the medical profession. The medical profession has alot of doctors in it who are trying so very very hard to communicate to their patients some consideration when it comes to G-d and prayer. I want to thank Chabad.org for letting me write this here.,. Reply
... treat each other with love ? Hello Dr. Love, (see above) unfortunately hate in a fallen world has replaced love and man is too weak to revert. Man only deals in gain for the flesh and is ignorant of the Spirit man, which halts all progress. Reply
So full of joy and light Curious though...is there a third path? Reply
G-d is love! There is where the conversion is. Beuatiful, beautiful, beautiful...... Reply
G _dliness
The statement is true. But how can one keep Him in our lives everyday and live according to His laws when there is so much allowable pollution around us. I feel many people have become complacent because, at the very least, all should know that our Creator has given us the right to make up our own minds. I believe this came from the decision of our first parents, Adam & Eve when they chose knowledge over life. Hence, we have the free will to choose between right and wrong. As humans we have separated ourselves from the All Mighty by using Science, distractions, wars, violence, and human emotions get in the way of our Spirituality. Can you imagine walking into a Psychiatrist's office and tell him/her that you were directed by a "voice from a flaming bush," to carry out certain acts? You will at the very least be labled a Schizophrenic! The DSMV (Medical Psychological Classifications) has a label for everything.
Until the people of this earth treat each other with love??

Everyday a processing That I can see that there are two paths but what about "The other side" that evil intention...I am worried about that . Without Holyness I am nothing-yet we all go day by day engaging in physical activity.-becoming unHoly. Reply
There is no need to become "unholy" as you say, engaging in our day to day mundane activities. Our calling is to infuse even them with meaning and G-dly purpose, thereby revealing the G-dliness in everything. Reply
Todays message inspired my impromptu poem.
Godliness is blissfully everything
everything is blissfully Godliness,but
to whom beseech us, to whom pray us
in our willingness and incompleteness
to be in Oneness; when God is unseen, yet
palpably before us, beckoning us,
to engage - in His Godliness?

In truth; where the two paths fail to converge; there is G-d as well. Reply
two paths i LOVE this. sure eases my mind!!! -- i'll simply stay on either of the two paths and try to be alert and aware to avoid detours -- regardless what others say or do. which is what usually sends me down a dirt road. maybe that's how the saying 'take the high road' evolved? it's never easy, but what a goal!
