That to ascribe even the “negative” events, or to blame ourselves for the “dark nights of the soul” that we experience is, in a sense, making us a “god”. There is nothing in our lives that comes from anywhere or anyone, other than the Creator. This has very much helped me in understanding the faulty beliefs that Christianity holds regarding sin and the “devil”. Each distraction and hardship that we face, is sent by the Creator, in order to draw us ever closer to Him, to the Light.
The sensation of Ein Od Milvado arises when I consistently reinterpret reality through the lens of divine purpose. With practice, even mundane moments become touchpoints with the Creator. As the Baal Shem Tov taught:
“Wherever your thoughts take you—there He is.”
By training my perception, I transform intellectual belief into lived experience, realizing that every atom of existence is His loving action. On a practical level understanding the thoughts that He put into my mind —even the negative ones—are part of a larger, loving plan can help me feel more at peace with myself. I am not broken or abandoned; I am being guided, even through my inner struggles. This awareness can foster self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection to the Divine.The thing tthat blew my mind continues to be the implications of ‘There is no one n Him. ‘The concept is different from what i what I was taught and yet i feel this is true. I have no doubt now that I’ve read it. I still have a part of me understanding that sadness and pain comes from ourselves and our egos. I still have questions about whether everything is predetermined. I am grateful for this course
With this lesson I realized that I ‘ started to integrate further the notions studied in Part 1. I am more comfortable with the vocabulary so far. Reading and listening to all of the material, all this work and efforts pays off I guess. In this week’ article and explanations given by Tony about There’s none else beside him” really moved me. With the teaching in this article I started to have a good idea how to apply the intention to connect through bestowal in day to day life. I learned what is a prayer and what is the purpose in what condition our prayers are answered by the creator and why.
What blew my mind, is the fact that we are really like puppets! We control nothing: our thoughts, feelings, desires, actions are all predetermined by the creator.
Really I learned and felt a lot.
