Unnatural Response

It is written, that when you live by faith, you are to hold onto the promises your believing for regardless of the obstructions along the way, because once the promise, the living word, is spoken & believed, the word runs swiftly, you then continue on the path provided, & though the promise seems delayed, hold fast, stand in position of faith, & when you reach the set & appointed time, your miracle that has waited for you manifests, at this point in time.

The only miracle that happens is when we can unite as one heart and mind. It is a miracle because we have to overcome Nature's law.
We have to overcome the force that is installed in us - the egoistic force that separates us.

The first step is to tune out of our ego. Moses guided the people to successfully achieve this with the strength of their aspiration and determination.

Then the miracle of Hunukkah happens when we receive a new force - the intention to connect through love.

After this preparation we are able to achieve the greatest miracle when we request G_d to bond our hearts in love with the force of His light. Through this divine unity we reveal the power of G_dliness as the force of His light flows between us to bond our unity.

G_d prepares all humanity to achieve this miracle now as he unwinds our egoistic mode through the coronavirus. He separates us to freeze our bad connections for self benefit. He waits for humanity to be guided so He can perform the miracle of unity Reply

Unnatural Response According to "Jewish History", the Jewish people have always had to depend on something beyond the visible observation. Prayer is important, yet timing and an action is always commanded of us. Jewish people are taught to "trust G-d." Faith is trust in G-d. Abraham, Elijah, Gideon, Moses, our Matriarchs and Patriarchs all trusted G-d. Jewish history reminds us that we cannot expect a miracle if we remain stagnant, "keep it moving" seems to be the key to a miracle.

As we follow our Jewish history in G-d, we will continue to anticipate the inevitable, supernal miracle's of G-d in our lives today. Reply

Miracles I'd say: when a Jew sees nature he sees the miracles. Reply

miracle of miracles Moschiach, soon i hope! Reply

So true and that is exactly why I can't get my head around why it is so difficult for some people to 'see' G-d's existence in our surroundings and accept it as such. Reply

Creation Nature is the miracle all around us, everywhere, and this is the beauty of creation. Reply

RE: Unnatural Response We being made in His image have exact gates,so are we viewing His Glory or looking at a miracle, to the degree of faith it occurs as one or the other. Reply

The words each day, and especially today's quote are so inspiring. We need to ponder on everyday matters, to maintain a sense of wonder and to be aware of the miraculous in what can be, too often, taken for granted. The Rebbe's words refuse to let us sink into mindless acceptance; he proposed mindfulness before it attained its current vogue. Reply

Spiritual Response One who perceives only with his 5 natural senses can only see as far as within the reason of this physical limited world are the PHILOSOPHERS

One who researches this world with instruments that enable us to see further more subtle energies and phenomena of the physical world are SCIENTISTS.

One who is able to see beyond the physical world - the physical world becomes transparent and he sees the spiritual forces operating on us through Him. This person is connected spiritually to G_d's field of Love. Reply

miracles The Torah is a living miracle. So I would say it depends on the philosopher to declare what constitutes a miracle, I am sure the Rebbe, of Blessed Memory, would agree. Reply

Be Still and Know In my state of nothingness, when I was no longer an energetic daughter, mother, team leader, nor friend, I became disconnected from the world, as I knew.
Gone....but not dead. Forgotten.

I became a spirit with a soul. It began a mystical journey that I will never forget.

Each morning as I read from the Book of Psalms and meditated, I observed the beautiful green trees outside of my front window, how they would sway and bend, as if to pay homage to a Divine G-d that the world could not see.

I observed how a group of birds would sing joyfully, praises to a G-d who would supply food for their nests each day. I knew G-d was close... He touched me.
The night can be a dark and lonely time for an ill person, yet each night of that summer in 2007, I would observe the most beautiful display of the moon and stars in the heaven, outside of my bedroom window and I would fall asleep in perfect peace.

G-d creates for us, an atmosphere conducive for His Glory, and miracles happen. Reply

The Snakes Hand..... If we get too involved, too busy in looking we get lost as did Adam when he heeded the words of the snake to look.....and see. And Adam looked and became enchanted by the snakes words, became too busy looking and seeing and became one of the snakes inner circle and was lost to the point that when GOD asked where he was Adam no longer knew.

Whether is be a philosopher, scientist, guru, priest, rabbi who is telling us to look, they are taking away from being our true selves as GOD created us. We get lost in the words and the speaker of the words, entrenched in spiritual materialism that masquerades as real religion/spirituality.

As Jews we need to find the truth for ourselves as did Abraham to look at our own being, our soul, our heart as the true Tzaddik that will lead us hear GOD's voice . Reply

Great! Love this! Thank you so much for posting it :) Reply

today's "Daily Dose" ..and the Christian (this Christian) looks at nature and sees a miracle. Reply

The philosopher... This quote stirs my soul. Reply

response all i can say is YES!!!! (yes to being a Jew and yes to not being a philosopher). Thank G-d! personally, i don't want a 'natural' explanation for miracles - i just thank G-d for all of them, every day! Reply

the philosopher's stone Since it is all G-d, the philosopher is another kind of poet. And many Jews are philosophers. There is no separating. All the same this statement has profound meaning and that itself could be termed, a philosophy of seeing. Soph within the word. Ein Sof.
There are keys within the words crossing Babel. Filo, also a form of dough, for what is sweet, in sheets, as layered. Fill.

Drink deeply from this well. It is endless. A river runs through Eden..The Zohar.

Such is life's miracle. This the Poet and the Poetry. Reply
