Hi Gianni

is the Ohr Hozer the Reflection of Ohr Yashar bouncing back up?

I like this baby talk, so, are you saying that desire to get rid of pleasure is kind of like someone who became a vegetarian restricting the pleasure of meat, its rejecting but still getting a more genuine pleasure? or like a child’s realizes his toy Airplane is not a real fighter jet?  (A rejection) So this is the realization of receiving 20%? (More genuine) Is this also, where Bina (the baby) becomes hofetz hesed? Maybe im mixing things up.

So Rav say’s there are no miracles in this world, only the upper world. another place he says, you have to look at it two ways. Either everything that happens in this world is a miracle, or there is no miracles, but only in the upper world

and then we have Hanukah which happened in this world, and we talk about miracles, we look forward to miracles, so did the oil last eight days literally in this world? or is it only speaking of the upper world? how do I reconcile the Hanukah miracle with these two perspectives that either everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle?.

Why is everyone so easily offended nowadays whereas before it was not this bad…

Thank you Gianni and Jon. I asked cuz my wife gets emotional when she hears some christian songs from our past. (I like some of them too depending on the words) But she studies judaism now and encourages my study of kabbalah. i like that, re: “the music is not giving me feelings, rather it’s something that was already in me”.

Kabbalistic music has a special power to it, what about secular music that has some godliness in it, or even some christian songs That move us?  In some way to be emotional for the Creator. Is this okay? And whats the main difference.
