you have 10 minutes for yourself right now to do something that will leave you with a profound feeling of desire for closeness and attachment with your creator here's a little guided meditation I made sit back relax enjoy when you think about the soul look it's very hard to think about a soul but just think about an entity which has pure God Consciousness it knows nothing but the reality and truth that God is real God is everything it's not in any way troubled by any type of philosophical questions it has a very very clear understanding of reality and that reality is is just pure godliness and that situation is profoundly pleasurable as well and it's hanging out in this state which is timeless because it's in the spiritual Realms and it's very comfortable obviously it's like a fish being in water for a soul to be in heaven for a soul to bask in the Rays of Godly Revelation is the most natural thing the most comfortable thing and one day it gets a tap on the shoulder and they say put on a parachute you're jumping and it comes down to a body and immediately it feels incredibly stifled it feels like it's being constricted both the input and the output it can't see what it used to see anymore it's all covered up all of its spiritual sensitivity is being drowned out by you know imagine you're trying to hear a very very very important conversation lifechanging information but it's being spoken in a whisper in the next room and in the meantime in the room that you're sitting in there are 100 radios playing different channels at full blast think about that pain if you have sensory issues like me you know I didn't it doesn't even have to be 100 radios it could just be being in a public place she's plunged into this world of this over stimulation all the the physical stimuli the sights and the sounds and smells and everything and it's not what she wants she just wants to be purely connected to unmitigated God Consciousness the way she was for eternity and now that's all being covered up and it's very frustrating it's very frustrating okay so we're feeling the feeling we should be feeling now is compassion it's a very frustrating situation for this poor little Nish and maybe even in this physical world she sees things that are scary like people who do things that go against hashem's plan for this world and that's very frightening and now okay get ready you can handle it the host body that this soul is trapped in starts doing stuff that the Soul's very uncomfortable with whether it's actions or speech or even just thought in some ways thought can be the greatest torture for the soul cuz thought is the most intimate and action is the most extraneous is the most external but thoughts going on inside of you and that's where the soul is it's inside of you so she's being exposed to this movie and she doesn't want to be there and she can't close her eyes it's not comfortable for her okay so we're feeling compassion for this beautiful spiritual entity that's being subjected to this really painful scary experience all right and now we're going to up the anti we're going to reflect on the fact that this Soul even down here is Tethered Is Anchored In God himself and as it were by extension he is experiencing everything that the soul is experiencing he is undergoing this pain and this is called gas the Exile of God's presence he is experiencing the frustration and the the the the distraction and the the Fright of being in such a a world where godliness is not obvious and clear and this is a very painful very painful situation and our natural response should be that of compassion this is pitiful okay and now we think about that there is a there's a way out there is a way out there is a way to relieve the the pain and to bring the soul back to Oneness with its source and that is what we call the kisses and the Hogs which is Torah and Mitzvah the kisses is the mouth to mouth speaking hashem's words that's Torah the hug is the body to body being hashem's body being using your body to do his actions his hand becomes your hand when you give Saka when you engage in kindness and we're thinking about this feeling of reunion and the possibility of reunion and the accessibility of it that it's really accessible that there nothing really preventing us as as awful as the situation is that we were just describing it and yet nothing can really stop us it's not like you know go become rich well I don't have control over that go become tall I I don't I don't have control over that but learn Torah do Mitzvah you can do that anytime anywhere even under the worst conditions nobody can stop you from that so we have this ability now to remove this whole terrible situation that was so tragic and we can make it all go away we can heal the whole situation by returning to Hashem through Torah and Mitzvah now the feeling that you should be feeling right now even though you may disagree with this categorization is love and you're going to say I'm not sure it's love well I can't promise you what you're feeling right now but let me tell you what it might be and let me tell you why if that's you're feeling it's actually love and maybe this is a better definition of love than what we're used to if you're feeling right now A motivation to be closer to Hashem if you're feeling like you know what there's a problem it needs a solution wow I have that solution I want to go and engage in that Solution that's called motivation it's pushing you it's compelling you in a Direction that's that's what an emotion does an emotion is a an engine that pushes us in a direction well think about it it's not to go away from Hashem and by going away from I don't mean God forbid in Rebellion I mean sometimes in reverence we shrink away from hasem in in awe we make ourselves smaller but this isn't backing away in reverence this is getting closer I mean it's described literally is kissing and hugging so it's real closeness here well what do you think Love Is Love is a feeling of motivation to seek out closeness so how did we come to that place of feeling motivation to seek out closeness we came to it through a side door called compassion we told the story of the plight of the Soul which by extension ultimately is the plight of Hashem himself and then we arrived at the feeling of the possibility of closeness that's that's the love hi this is rabie shab I hope you enjoyed that guided meditation if you'd like to watch the full class that that's an excerpt from it's right here it's
