The fact that we have a question about why we are meant to become United with god is the actual question

It’s hard to even fathom the depth of desire hashem has to be one with us. And even crazier to notice the depth of desire that my neshama has for Him. What a privelage to love You

Every time we do a mitzva- we are bringing our entire inner world and body into intimacy with god. This isn’t just a game of control… we have the opportunity to align our thought, speach, and action with the truth of life (hashem) , in every single moment. Every mitzva reveals hashem in our heart and mind. Literally geula. we don’t only do mitzvos for god, we do them with him.

Our inner world isn’t random- and it is not working against us.

The AR is not just gifting us with random concepts. There is a flow going on. Blessing us all to see the bigger picture of this journey instead of just the individual concepts. Chapter 3- (getting to know “how the godly soul works”) is only coming AFTER chapter 2… (the way the godly soul works is the garments of the soul that allows us to access the essence within. The intimate and loving breath of hashem). THE AR is so clear. our actions, emotions, and perceptions (including self perceptions) do not equal the sum total of who we are. And knowing that empowers us to LEAN IN to those things… and discover … that “who we actually are” has been with us all along.

I actually have an essence of self. And that’s a really big deal.

TYH.

The menora with one candle is not a mistake. And ur life is not a mistake either. You don’t have to deny who you are or what your story is to find true life and joy. Happy Chanuka ❤️

Imagine if the you that you are is the you that hashem is waiting for you to find Him in. let go of the “if only” mindset… where you are, as you are… is where you are meant to reveal Moshiach.

We aren’t going to have a spiritual experience while the “other” parts of us just watch… we’re bringing the fullness of who we are forwards into this journey. The song is already singing… it’s just time to hear it
