In the future, says the prophet Isaiah, we will be consoled. Doubly consoled.
Because true consolation does not mean the anger and the wrath have passed, and now we can come out of hiding.
True consolation does not mean that everything is healed and now we are back together.
True consolation means to truly know that the anger and the wrath were nothing less than passionate, deep love, that all our troubles were really achieving something, something wondrous beyond our imagination. That it was all worthwhile, really worthwhile.
In true consolation, we look back and we can no longer find anything for which we must be consoled.
One day, we will find only joy and laughter.
Likutei Sichot, vol. 19, pg. 67.
Are you saying that all the levels that we are experiencing will rise into one level that is full of joy? Everything else (all the residue of disorder (darkness) will simply be gone. That must be the process we are still in now. That is hard to imagine because so much of what one sees is in contrast. What will happen when everyone will instinctively turn away from evil simply because it is grotesque? That must be redemption, I mean part of redemption…perhaps that is what it is.
…O, I don’t mean to be disrespectful (too simplistic). I am just thinking out loud.
Thank you for this…very interesting!
