Reinterpretation

Rebuilding the Soul We were created as Divine sparks of energy connected in one harmonious Soul. A divine system of love between us.

Those bonds between us weakened until we perceived ourselves as scattered beings in a broken system - out of sync with each other and exiled from the Creator's plane of love. In our world we sense hatred and discord between the alienated creatures.

G_d's plan is to give us the free choice to earn our way back to His world by rising above our selfish nature in order to rebuild and redeem our Soul in which the attribute of love brings the system back to eternal Life. Reply

words and meaning and things are we talking about semantics and the physical things we touch?

the words of creation (forgive me cause i don't remember the chumash , it was so many years ago), G_d said "Let there be Light" and there was light. And G_d saw the light, and G_d said "The light was good."

It is only by the Power of His Will that the world of light came into being. But, light is made up of things, physical things like photons and waves. when the light waves become bent into different lengths, they produce every color in existence. when i was a clinical laboratory technician, i used a spectrophotometer which when you test blood for an increase in body fluids by adding specific amounts of reagents, you get changes in colors in the test tubes, which tell the technician if a certain enzyme is increased or decreased or normal, etc.

this means a lot to me because i believe
that words are SYMBOLS of things, the things they have come to represent like the letters C-H-A-I-R. Reply

Note in Hebrew word and thing are both davar In reality all that exists is G-d, the only true existence. Through a spiritual flow of divine energy that we associate with speech he creates the world. As "words" this energy can be can be identified with a speaker, but the further they go from the speaker the more they appear separate; until they appear entirely separate as things, like we see them - seemingly not entirely dependent on the G-dly energy that brings them into being. However, when we realize this thing, this object, exists because a speaker is "speaking" it into existence, and he is doing so for a reason, and we use this object for this reason. We expose the fact that this object is not really a thing, an independent thing, but rather a word, being spoken into existence with divine intent. Which is the real truth of existence. Reply

things. true! Reply

reinterpretation I get it! Reply

It would really be a good idea to explain what all these daily doses mean and what is the important point to understand. I agree with the comment "daily dose for dummies". Reply

Reinterpretation I don't understand this, though it reads beautifully.
Are you saying that if we use things to help one another, to perform mitzvot, or to help elevate consciousness by our own behavior (through being kind, generous, just, compassionate, etc.), then we "redeem" words? What happens to a redeemed word?
I am NOT being sarcastic; I just don't understand.
And what about the millions of little things that poeple most likely will never encounter -- say, life at the bottom of the sea. How could they be redeemed?
Sorry if I sound dense, but I want to understand what you're saying on a deep level, and I just don't. How about "Daily Doses for Dummies?" Reply

Ok... Ok but then it seems like when the Redemption comes, we wont have this physical world anymore... and we've always been taught that when moshiach comes the world will stay the same except G-dliness will be revealed... Reply

Yes but there are acts and they are meaningful Reply

Confused and desperate I guess this is why i feel consigned to to live this life of quiet desperation in this state of depraved confusion.
Could we go ahead and get it figured out and straightened out once and for all (times)?

I could really used an extended Shabbos Leolam Va'ed, forever. Reply
