Dear Fellow Points in the Heart,
I’m already feeling the connection with you at this embryonic stage in my journey, our journey. Let’s keep deepening our understanding, studying, welcoming challenges as opportunities to grow. Let’s keep seeing ourselves reflected in nature and embracing the ways we are similar as humans while reveling at the ways we are all so different. I think that’s a good start on our journey to opening the channels for the light and recognizing our collective soul.
Love, JD
Thanks for your reply. I’m really trying to understand. So each of the Mitzvot aren’t to be taken literally, but seen as a metaphor or allegory for a thing that we can’t truly understand until we begin our spiritual ascent? I think I get that as a concept. But help me understand the ones that say , for instance, “not to have homosexual relations” and “not to have relations with menstrually impure women”.  What could that be a metaphor for? Is it possible to even know?? I want so much to be able to connect and stay open but reading that made me really sad. How can that be reframed?
I’m having trouble understanding the 613 desires or mitzvot that require correction. I looked up the what they were specifically using a few different sources. Is this what we are talking about? Please tell me I’m missing something!!

i’m starting to feel how the creator is always with me and i’m never alone, connected to everything and everyone.
To answer the question of what exactly is happening around me all of the time–how can I tune into it? How will this understanding influence my emotional world? My spirituality? Will this help me benefit me, my family, my community and beyond?
