Childish Demands

Thank you! Thank you and that is the spirit. Where is this Messiah now? Reply

The Moshiach will come in God's good time, not our. We can want. We can beg. We can picket the shul. God's agenda is not ours to decide. Reply

.....To scream out from our hearts: yes, yes ..got it!

Demand Now or Suffer Later There is one predetermined goal for all - to return to our spiritual root where we reconnect with the Creator.

To accomplish this goal we need to retrace the spiritual states that we fell from. These states are recorded in each of us.

Our only free choice is to demand the Light to correct that state in order to raise us to our next spiritual degree that we formerly occupied. We need to correct a 'ladder' of states until we reach the highest spiritual degree. This choice is called 'Achishena' I will hasten it.
or
we can sit back and allow the light to force us upward through suffering. This choice is called 'Beito' in due time.

Demand that we hasten our path through the method the Kabbalists recorded for us! Reply

g-d is fixing with every moment the world but not everybody can see it Reply

Thank you, I was waiting for this clarification. Reply

It is very close to you A child screaming for what is broken to be fixed, is not understanding the purpose of life.

HaShem, has given us the Torah, through Moses, with commandments and Laws to live in peace and harmony. The Rebbe (May HaShem bless his memory) could not emphasise enough the importance of giving and sharing. This is how we bring; happiness, peace and harmony into the world.

Not the easiest of tasks, especially if we divert our minds from HaShems will and start focussing on the will of the screaming children who shatter and break the peace and harmony before it can fully root to become an ideal environment for the Messiah.

Therefore we need to focus peacefully on the mitzvahs lovingly given us and wait with patience and let HaShems will be done. Reply

Childish Demands I can't help but wonder why there has not been a huge outcry against the atrocities we have all seen in the last few weeks - of course, so far, none of it has been within our boundaries, so we sit back quietly and say nothing which gives tacit approval for the senseless horrors we see.

The saddest thing is there will be no outcry until something occurs here, as we did on 9-11. Only then did people speak out and demand that action be taken.

That is why I like children - they have the intuitive knowledge that some things are wrong; they question it and even demand that something be fixed!

As an adult, I understand that not everything can be fixed - I have to do my part in the repair; I also know, that as it is with a child's voice or a single candle on the menorah during Chanukah, that sometimes miracles happen. Truth shines through the darkness. Reply

Perfected thoughts For to know what repair is, one must understand what is broken. As both are perceptions of judgment of that is seen and that which is hidden. In revelation one shouts out joy, as this is the intention to repair our unity with adhesion from above. Reply

When one cries out like a child, one would not be in their right mind. I think of the time when i was demanding of G-D pleading when my feelings were hurt; i was angry and sad. So much llke a child in my desperate state, I pleaded, prayed for truth.There was no other way out but G-D's help. I had been underminded and betrayed by ignorance, ambition, lying and greed by my fellow man. I was in shock.

So i did get educated what was my part in it to allow that to happen to me..i did not love who i was!

While that was in a personal state at that time many years ago, I can apply that same feeling to the Jewish state of Israel and the Restoration of the Temple, Moshiac and the promise of the resurrection of the dead. To love who you are and not have what is yours may call for irrational desperation and more merciful individual learning.

Are we not suppose to do our part to not let others break into our boundries and stand up for our truth! Reply

I too don't see it this way. I would preface this, with in my humble opinion:
We can demand all we want, like a child. To demand from Him that things be "fixed" is to disregard what He does for us. Each day is a test of our reliance on Him and a chance to reveal Him to others.
He gives to us that which we need each day. Did He give in to the childish demands in the desert? Did He not provide all that was needed each day?
Do we demand to eat the food before it is prepared? A child may make this demand but as the parent we know it is not best for them. Reply

I Don't See It This Way Always, I preface a disagreement on this page with the fact that I am an ardent reader and admirer of Tzvi Freeman. Our family - my wife and I and our children - have read and benefited from many of your writings over the years. Thank you.

Children who feel something is missing in their world often scream out either because of an immature understanding of their place in the world and/or their instinct to tantrum.

We cry out to G-d for repair from our more adult understanding of our place in the world and our need for G-d's help in our work and lives.

The child's cry, as well as an adult's childish cry, which also requires Divine support, is more typically a cry suggestive of the need for self-repair. Reply

Childish Demands If you don't ask you don't get.
I say we have a right to demand but not a right to receive. Reply

A cute tantrum... As a child I demanded "fairness" from my parents.
When they said "no" I believed it wasn't fair.
So I kept demanding louder because I felt that they weren't listening to me.
But they were.

Now I realize that they didn't give into my demands because they knew what was best for me. Reply

Childish Demands I think of King Josiah, when it was brought to His attention that the book or the law was recovered in the temple restoration, He rent His garments...seeing how far the nation had strayed from the law. We have the Torah, the sages, the prophets...and they affirm the justice of G-d...and the responsiblity of us to enact that justice...so..We must demand of ourselves..what We know must be done..and it is a religious duty for us all. Reply

Seems I am Not alone...Demand from G-d?? I know the world needs repair. I know how badly i want him to fix things. But , i dare not demand anything from G-d. I know that my understanding of his... anything is so small, that i can pray and ask for better, but i have too much love and awe to ever demand that g-d owes anything. I must him love and respect, at all times, as he is so far above anything that i could know (ein sof), THAT I COULD NOT FATHOM HIS PLAN, I CAN ONLY FEEL HIS PRESENCE, WHEN I AM SPIRITUALLY FIT TO DO SO. I ask that we all pray for a better world and remember tikkun olan (spelling?). I'll ask him and then i'll do my best to help him, to better the world. Reply

Demand and duck Demand, and be ready to duck when the response comes winging in! Reply

Demand We should not demand repair of the world from the One Above unless we also say at the same time that we will assume our share of the responsibility in partnership with G-d in doing the repair. Reply

I Humbly Disagree!! Just as Children many times make demand for things that are not good for them or may not be the time for them to have what they are demanding; So we must be careful Not to demand anything of the CREATOR ALMIGHTY G-D, Why? HE is the MASTER, HE sees what we can not, HE knows what we do not, HE HAS Never Lost a Battle, and HE will not Lose this one with the world the flesh and the devil

Children also Trust their Parents, they Believe what ever they are told by their parents; So we must!!! Trust G-D and know that HE moves the pieces in this chess game and Israel will check mate!! Reply

Demand??? I didn't know I could demand anything from the one above? Am I alllowed to demand? Am I suppost to ask? Does G_d not give me what I need? Reply
