We take the laws of nature too seriously. We think of the world as though it exists just as its Creator exists.
Therefore we have miracles. A miracle is a state of enlightenment that says, “Our reality is nothing but a glimmer of a higher reality. In that higher realm, there is no world. There is nothing else but Him.”
miracles to me, that says it all! Reply
As much as I want to believe in miricles I am not around for those miracles leading to the Exodus or for Chanukah, but if the principals of humanity and do unto others what will be done to you, make sense with or without the miracles. Reply
nothing but a glimmer
"nothing but a glimmer"......is exactly what's being shown to us when it comes to "reality".......on the news, TV, Internet ans all other propaganda....
Question is, is it done on purpose OR just plain ignorance....THIS is the question?
Build the Temple......enough already! There is nothing to fear but fear itself. It's "your land", have courage and build it otherwise ALL may be for naught.

More notes on attaining true alignment with Divine energy vectors
But there are macro and minor 'universes' ... there is 'self' and 'other'; because, in our creation of a way of thinking of the natural world in terms of binary opposition, we have created such 'crossways' ...
Looking and seeing, and realizing the gematria of the underpinning energies of our world enable us to think, see, act, differently ... and this word, thought, deed, action, comes from the kabbalistically proven teaching and 'field energy realization' that is gematria in action every day. Think of the Etz Chaim or the Divine ladder as resplendent in all the hues of colour of the rainbow ... & resist black/white binding energies as forms of intellectual enslavement ...
He is there in every struggle, in our 'imagination' and in the crocus that rises from the earth's song at springtime, ... in turning 'ripening' the mind's focus to the counting of the Omer ... oneness is plurality in alignment. Where the mind is, there is the 'treasure house' ... when we prosper 'g-dliness'

The Miracle - Attaining True Perception
The Kabbalists inform us there is no world out there - everthing is within you! Strip away the matter, then you get the energy, then you get force-fields - ultimately we will be merited to discern none else besides one unified soul network - all of us in equivalence of quality of G_dliness (Dvekut or adhesion) with G_d's Light between us. Then we will be enlightened!
We focus too seriously on a world that is desined to disappear from your imagination!

Nope, I stop and look before I cross.

Nope, too confusing.

"Him" is a bad usage; otherwise, seems right.

Hurricane of Hiati
I believe it is a miracle that any that believes in G-d can state or believe that G-D has nothing to do with Hurricanes or other natural negative events.
How can one believe that G-d created the world in six days and then believe that G-D has nothing to do with the devastation, not only hurricanes, but the final solution that Hitler brought upon the Jews.
God is merciful, but sometimes he makes a mistake.

If everything is God, haven't we just turned what is HOLY into what is mundane? Reply
And I sure need Him! Reply
So there is no us?
Just him? We are him? Here is when Kabbalah gets tricky for me. I'm inclined to believe that we are a manifestation of Him. Each of us, is a kind of Neuron, or maybe not even-- more of a unit of electro-chemical in the great Divine Mind of G-d. But then that would say that G-d is the Universe, which is also said He is not. He is not the Universe, the Universe is a manifestation of Him.
So we are collectively an aspect of G-d, so, our flaws and needs are His, right? But, once again, G-d is perfect He does not have needs.
So are we a process, then? The flow of light to form? Light being His Desire reaching out to the Darkness to fathom it. Then it then implies that G-d's Desire is a lack, which is now back to where I started. He lacks nothing. So, maybe so do we, we are perfect as we are.
I really think this is a Pi sort of problem, you think you're getting there but then, you don't. I go back to the beginning, and I realize how small my brain is compared to the magnitude of G-d

When a miracle happens, its' generally connected to a prayer. G-D always hears our prayers. It's up to us, to slow down and pay attention to when they are answered. G-D is deliberate with all life's actions. As it was once told to me, by a kind, gentle Rabbi; When a leaf falls from a tree, it falls with purpose. All we need to do is slow down and notice this miracle. As the wind pushes the leaf ever so gently down the road, we should take notice. Even a leaf has wonders to behold.
