Preparation Question: What is freedom and how, by the help of the Reforming Light, can we acquire it?

[Liora]

I remember the very moment I sensed true freedom. I was going through a brutal business audit. For 6 months before the dreaded phone call, I had been listening to Rabbi Nachman of Breslev’s teachings on Azamra (I will sing) and Ain Od Milvado (there is no one else but Him). Suddenly, I realized that this knowledge of wisdom I had been adding to my toolbox had been for that very moment in my life. That feeling of His Sovereignty over every aspect of my life, the acknowledgment that everything came from Him was the most freeing. The ups and the downs, the light and the darkness, the health and the sickness, the comfort and the pain: all came from Him. It was not happening TO me. It was happening FOR me.

This may not be the textbook definition, but for me, it represents the beginning of an incredible journey.

We only have freedom in our choice of environment, and we should use that freedom wisely. We should look for an environment where there are people who seek spirituality and connection to the Creator, and with whom we can grow our points in the heart by striving towards altruism together, learning from each other’s experiences. The Reforming Light helps us correct the egoistic tendencies that come up when working with the group.

Freedom lies in correctly perceiving the force called The Creator and in doing so, bonding with his attributes.

Freedom is ability to think or act independent of my Ego. The reforming light reveals to me the totality or full picture of reality, and creates an environment where I can see what separates me from the Creator.

[Deborah Joplin]

Freedom is to realize there is no force that acts upon us but the Creator. His will is to bestow and for  the creatures to enjoy the pleasure He bestows. Freedom comes when we desire to be in partnership, adherence with the Creator. He bestows, we receive and we bestow that which we receive. We love Him as He loves us and we love one another because we are all parts of the Shechina. She longs to have us all under her wings. If we are indeed connected, we will love one another as He loves us. We experience freedom to choose our environment to be one which nurtures this internal Spirituality. Our freedom is not in the corporeality of this world, it is in relationship with our Creator. As the Reforming Light’s presence within us is felt to increasing degrees, through prayer, connection, and study—our sense, feeling of connection with the Spiritual World grows.

freedom is knowing there’s no one else besides him
