This means living Jews, souls within bodies. The Redemption comes through "our deeds and efforts," and it "depends," as it were, on the Jewish person's consent, desire and proclamation that not only has "the time for your Redemption arrived," but that the Redemption is actually here, literally speaking. As mentioned above, Geulah (Redemption) is cognate to the term Giluy (Revelation), and is a reference to the revelation of the Master of the world within Golah (exile). It is the effort of the Jews in exile that brings this about.<br /><br />(From the talk of Monday, 28 Sivan 5751)<br /><br />"…In these times - the days of Moshiach - in which we now find ourselves, we only need "to open the eyes." Then we will see that the true and complete Redemption already exists, in the simple sense. All the Jewish people, "with our youth and our aged, etc., with our sons and our daughters," are prepared, in every single, last detail, "to approach and sit at the table," the table prepared with every delicacy and delight, beginning with those of the Redemption, Livyosan, Shor HaBor and Yayin Meshumar. Also, [the Jewish people are ready for] the most important thing, "to know G-d," "the world will be filled with knowledge of the L-rd as the waters cover the ocean bed."<br /><br />(From the talk of the end of 19 - beginning of 20 Kislev 5752 -<br />in a group private audience)Ashernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-33863932258288294222021-11-08T09:16:28.644+02:002021-11-08T09:16:28.644+02:00There was shvirat keilim in the beginning and mayb...There was shvirat keilim in the beginning and maybe what we are going through is repairing those spiritual vessels so that we can hold the light ..Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511500517787417960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-24924122087952146652021-11-07T04:17:38.800+02:002021-11-07T04:17:38.800+02:00Short, Sweet, To the point, and very accurate.

In my head the last few days have been hearing that old song of Styx "Welcome to the Grand Illusion, Come on in and see what's happening, pay the price, get the tixket to the show"<br /><br />DON'T get upset with what is happening as it is pure perfect proof the Geula is upon us. It is was easy, it would mean it's delayed further. Nonetheless we need to daven that things happen the sweetest way possible - which in fact is what is really happening. The Bark is much greater than the bite. The fear much greater than is appropriate, the actual damage minimal.Chaim David Targanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126876172114523386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-40165698817157166342021-11-06T19:18:53.050+02:002021-11-06T19:18:53.050+02:00Love the analogy.

To help you cope with the upheaval and mess of a demolished kitchen on its way to being renovated, you have to hold the vision of what it’s going to look like when it’s all done. The other thing that can help you cope is to remember it’s just temporary. We can put up with almost anything if we think it’s not gonna last too long.<br />Od matai!Shalomishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095955570570689207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-63244951512144574722021-11-06T18:59:26.306+02:002021-11-06T18:59:26.306+02:00Love the analogy.

And to cope, you have to remind yourself that the mess and upheaval is just temporary. We can put up with almost anything if we think it’s not going to last long.

He speaks of how GOD didn’t just wipe out a rotten civilization…HE destroyed the earth. He says it better than I ever could, but it somehow filled in some of the cracks in my understanding. I’m lookin’ for that string.

Every word rings true.<br /><br />We have been building new on top of old forever. <br />Even archeologists see this as they dig through civilizations, layer beneath layer.<br /><br />Geula is a reality from the future. It has to be fresh, uncompromised and Divine.<br /><br />It can't be built over the unstable structures, beliefs, or systems, whether political, financial or even religious, that are continuously adapted based on the past.<br /><br />As this demolition happens globally, nationally, and in every public way, it needs to happen within each one of us, so that we can be keilim (vessels) for the future-to-come. That means allowing our beliefs to be challenged, our habitual defenses and behaviors to change. It means understanding Hashem's vision and digging in to find the light within our own beings, our deeper "soul desires", and start living from those.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this wisdom. I hope many people will take it to heart.Shifra Chana Hendriehttp://www.gateofunity.comnoreply@blogger.com
