THERE IS ONE

Filed under: Chassidus, Judaism, philosophy, religion, spirituality — gedaliah @ 4:10 am

There is only ONE. One existence, One Reality. We only exist because of the truth of his existence. Our

world exists within him. If he did not continually re-invest himself in his creation at every moment, than

we would revert back to naught and nothingness G-d forbid! Many ask the question “does G-d exist”

however not so many ask “Do we exist and if so why?”

Kabbalah and Sincere Deeds

c_148_941_1173289388656.jpg

[From the Book: Bringing Heaven down to Earth (Compiled by Tzvi Freeman)]

Light Power

From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson:

“All that came into being. All the created worlds and all the ethereal entities that live in them, even the worlds that are mere emanations without tangible substance, even the worlds of thought and beyond to the realms of infinite light that preceded Creation…

–all this came to be only as a result of the thought of you, the earthly being, struggling in a world that only a infinitesimal glimmer of G-dliness has reached in its purity, bringing light where light could not be.

And so it follows, that with one simple act of beauty, all those worlds and angels and realms of light become liberated and elevated and reciprocate with a burst of illumination into our lowly world.

That is why the entire creation can be transformed with one simple, sincere deed.

Never underestimate the power of light.”

What Is Spirituality?

searching.jpg

Many people think that in order to connect with G-d or to be a more “spiritual” person the correct approach would be to remove oneself from the mundaneness of this world and pursue “more lofty” heights such as fasting, meditating and being in seclusion. The world however was not created so that we should abandon and runaway from it and it’s inhabitants, rather G-d wants us to find him within this seemingly mundane world. It was once asked of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. “what is more important, love of G-d or love of one’s fellow?” He replied “the love of one’s fellow, for then you are loving what your loved one loves.” He was saying that love of one’s fellow and love of G-d are one in the same. Since G-d loves all of his children and all of his creations, when you show love and concern for your fellow, you are displaying your true love of G-d. Spirituality is attained not by abandoning this world in order to find transcendence, rather we must find the transcendent within the immanent. We must not make the mistake that G-d is “out there” in the unreachable heights but rather he is right here all the time encouraging us to become connected to him by helping out one of his children. There is certainly no place devoid of Him, therefore we should reveal him through acts of pure kindness.

• • Y-LOVE BIO • •

(Taken from Y-Love’s Myspace Page http://www.myspace.com/ylove)

Y-Love (Yitz Jordan) is an MC unlike any other; he converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2000, and later took on the traditions of Hasidism (the mystical branch of Orthodox Judaism). He is among the most innovative MCs on the scene, weaving seamless polyglot rhymes in English, Arabic, Yiddish, and Hebrew. Most unique is Y-Love’s revival of Aramaic, the language used to discuss Jewish Law and Kabbalah. With each word he spits in the tongue of ancient Babylon, Y-Love breathes new life into hip-hop, one beat at a time.

Y-Love has performed with these fine folks, Lou Reed, DJ Spooky, Hadag Nachash, Matisyahu, & Steinski at venues ranging from Princeton to Irving Plaza.

Y-Love was the subject of over 50 articles just this past year. URB Magazine’ featured Y-Love, on their site, as their artist of the month. At the 2006 Jewish Music Awards, Y-Love took home the award for “Best Hip Hop Artist”. Through his unique style and music, Y-Love shows incredible talents in bringing races and religions together with the power of Hip Hop and his own personal positivity.
