Take the world at face value, and it won’t let you move forward. You’ll have to bridle every impulse, carefully balance every step—and even then, for every step forward, you could fall back two. You’ll have enslaved yourself within an Egypt of your own making.
Here is your route of escape—the splitting of the sea:
Meditate deeply upon the inner soul of the world;
struggle to see the vision described by our teachers.
Part the murky waters of a coarse, material world;
enter the reality that lies beneath it.
Grasp that inner vision and it will flow outward
through the heart to the conscious self,
down to the heel that steps upon the earth,
until all these, as well, become mind.
Your eyes are now open,
your heart is awake,
your hands themselves know what to grab and what to avoid,
as your feet know where to walk.
In the struggle for deeper vision,
life becomes effortless.
You are free.
Meditate Beyond Rationality To break free from our rational mind which thinks of self-service, requires us to take a leap into the unknown. To leap above the coarseness of our material mind into the spiritual mind. In this new world we act with the intention to serve others.
Our ego is an obstacle that won't allow us to make that leap.
With our combined intention to exit this force that controls us, together with G_d's help we can make a giant leap for mankind that takes us to the next level of existence!
Then we are on our way to reach the goal.
