I was instructing my grandson in how to most effectively use the pick. I realized, because of our studies that I was holding millennia of our ancestoral discoveries in my hands. I won’t go into the details of the discoveries, but it was thought-provoking.
I pray the Light continues to open my mind in a variety of different ways and revelations.Learning the whole universe is within the soul, and I am only a part and all of the soul, at once. Now how do I relate this to others, as well.
Simply put, by dedicating oneself to helping others understand a question or situation, what one had been considering within their own mind now becomes verbalized and comes back to that same person through their own auditory reception. I can’t exactly say why, but I can say that this causes one to find a new or different way to interpret the question than if it had only remained within their thought process.
Forty years ago, driving through the desert in Mexico, with a highly educated woman, I got into a hot debate about the fall of humanity in Eden. She argued that it was a good thing. I asked how could all of the suffering humanity has suffered as a result of the fall be good? Bear in mind, we were on our way to the war in El Salvador.
Her point was that one who falls and is forgiven loves the one who forgives more than if they had never fallen. I stood on my argument for some time, when I had a sudden epiphany that she was right. I had that same feeling in the story of the twin brothers and how the soul of Adam Rishon had to fall in order to find its way to alignment with being one w it h the Creator.
It may sound like a petty move to make, but I want to emphasize how important it is to incorporate a new concept into one’s daily life with repetition. Since I’ve reached a certain point in our studies, I’ve begun starting each paragraph in my morning journal with the phrase, “Father, may it please You to bestow on Your servant…”.
It is my small effort to train myself to align my intentions with the Creator’s.
