Power Beyond Heaven

The sages say that all is in the hands of heaven except for the awe of heaven.

Which puts all the power in your hands.

Because if heaven commands no awe, heaven owns nothing—not you, not your world, not anything at all.

Without the awe of heaven, heaven is bankrupt.

If so, the greatest power you have is your ability to surrender the delusion that you have any power at all, to shift from serving yourself to serving heaven. To experience awe.

The heavens are utterly under your command.

Power Shift Becomes Reaity Shift If the true picture of reality were revealed to me, I would see a single, interdependent, inclusive system. We are all interconnected parts. For the system to function each must surrender his will to serve him/her-self.

The ideal Force of connection between all parts of creation is revealed as the Creator between us. If we desire this divine connection we must direct our minds to this sublime reality. Together, with this mindset we will pass this Light to others. We create a spiritual powerhouse where no negative force can penetrate. Reply

interesting comment "For the system to function each must surrender his will to serve him/her-self"

I think this picture has been revealed in the 613 commands of the Torah. Certainly both positive and negative commands teach us how to surrender our self serving will. The 10th command not to covet is given in the negative. A huge revelation of surrendering our own desires leading to interconnected parts. To live the 10th is to connect to God and our fellow.
I believe the spiritual power is enacted by connecting the battery cable between the negative and positive commands. Then "Shema"! Hear them and do them.
Then we have played our role role in the power shift.

Appreciate your understanding. Reply

Shifting Gears Into Higher Power World Our world reflects our reality as a sensation of the quality of connections between us. Now we expose the corrupted connections between us.
He wants us to reveal those perfect 613 connections He initially arranged as 10 sefirot of qualities that enabled His Light to flow between us in an integrated system in the World of Infinity (Ein Sof) He wants us to rebuild that spiritual powerhouse.
"We shall do and we shall hear" explained as:
'We do' - is to perform 613 mitzvot or corrections on our will to serve myself, by replacing it to benefit others. Then we match His nature. Then 'we shall hear' - our perception is elevated to the level of the spiritual world 'Bina', where we connect through mutual love as a collective. There are 5 levels of worlds of increasing connection between us
This is inner spiritual work. We feel the repulsive -force of the ego between us in a group. We counteract this force with a +force awakened in us that aims to reveal upper reality. WE SHIFT to higher worlds Reply
