When will we listen to the cries of the little child inside of us? I’m speaking of the essential child, not just the emotional self. This child inside of us….it is the real us. The world is a scary place, the world compels us to be embarrassed by this vulnerable state. The world compels us to shield this little boy or girl and of course we have no choice but to protect this little person. But we have forgotten that this little vulnerable child is truly who we are.

True Naivety

By Tzvi Freeman (adapted from the work of the Lubavitcher Rebbe)

What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.

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?”

“Each person must see himself and the entire world as though it is held in balance and any deed he might do could tip the scales to the side of good; bringing redemption to himself and the entire world”

The Rambam: Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon

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.”

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.
