Everything that exists in your world is about communion with the Infinite. Everything is one of three:
A means to connect.
A path to fall away.
Or neutral ground
awaiting you to transform it into a connection.
Which tells you that if something had no role in your purpose of being,
it would not exist in your world.
Good 🌻 Morning,
Wow! What a powerhouse statement!
". . . It tells you that if something had no purpose in your role of being, it would not exist in your world." When we surrender to GD's Will, we find "peace," and emerge transformed into a "majestic" butterfly to our best self in GD through Torah to the world.
Baruch HaShem,
🕊💜

The key word in this fragment is EVERYTHING. "
Yes, obviously , everything is tied since it is H's creation, We are part of if , and we are touched by all the events in our lives both good and bad.
The latter BAD EVENTS also lead to H' because in retrospect , from something bad also some angle of that later becomes a benefit not perceived before. When something bad happens we find strengths that did not know we had before! It happened because H' directed it to us, since nothing really, is just a happenstance of events- the presence of H' must be always be felt. this is how we become more aware. Indeed, when we do that connection between incidents, we are elevated to another plane of thinking that then leads to a life's purpose. Only if we pay attention to the messages in our lives we finally grasp the why we are here because all is -as the Rebbe argues- connected
Interpretation, connection and purpose , are one package to gra:p our place in life and the why?

three possibilities
as always, a lifetime of knowledge in a few sentences! simple yet complicated.
(at first, i thought...these would take much discernment - especially the 'neutral', but then again, it would not be 'neutral' if it were any of the other possibilities!!)

Three Possibilities I can understand these three possibilities. But, the hardest is to figure out how to perform in each circumstance. Especially in relationships with everyone we encounter in our lives, e.i when it is a means to connect - to Almighty G-d? Blessed be His Name, through others? On the path to fall away... only if we let the circumstances (good or bad) take hold of us. Or, on the neutral - depending on others reception? Hashem created all worlds. Yours as well as mine. Wisdom comes from Him, Who knows all things. Those who consider themselves wise by studying Torah, shouldn't they use that wisdom to perceive the different worlds Hashem has place in front of them. Ref: us all? Reply
three possibilites What it said makes alot of sence and I appreciated what it said Reply
Three Possibilities I understand the first point a means to connect rreadily because right now I am doing it. The second point is is about repentance? Like we have the tendency to contrary to our G-d? And the third point I barely get it.... What would be a neutral ground in me awaiting transformation? Reply

A new Friend of mine has invited me to join her & her family for the first night of Hanukah. I feel so honored that she has asked me to share in this spiritual event.
In my minimal knowledge of the Jewish Celebration, I went to the Internet to learn more & I came upon this site. Reading this meditation is so Deep & yet universal throughout the world. To come together & connect with each other without judgement but to just "BE" with each other & to learn each others souls.
I do not limit myself to 'believe' in 1 specific religion. For I believe that to see through the eyes of others & to truly understand how they Love the Greatest Love of All, Our Father, Our Teacher, Our Creator is the only way to learn & be able to become that much more closer to the One who Made Me in His likeness.
All teachings agree that it was said: "LOVE" as "I" have Loved you. For me, that would mean to LOVE Unconditionally even if it meant to Love that which is not familiar to me now but will be in time.

This spoke to me so well. I really needed to read and digest this wealth of information.
Thank you for allowing access to such wealth.

In a nutshell, a famed philosopher said, "The range of what we think and do is limited by what we failed to notice, the world has become a stage".
