Only You

All this universe was made only for your journey. And all this universe was made only for the other guy’s journey. And for mine as well.

In our mind it is impossible. We are finite. When we put our minds to one idea, there is no room for any other. If one point is at the center, there is no center left for any other.

But G‑d is infinite. He can have as many heroes to His story as He wishes and each can take center-stage.

Each of G‑d’s creatures is the center of the universe.

Reshimot 44.

Override your natural default mode set by G_d as egocentric.

You will need to shift your mindset to desire beyond anything else to connect to G_d!

You can only reach Him through expanding your mind to include others as if all is part of you.

You will need to expand your heart to feel others to care for as yourself.
Collective consciousness together with an open heart will reveal the Oneness that is G_d's mode.

Then we ride the same wave together with G_d. We reveal His light.

Let's make this accomplishment our journey.
We will arrive at our destiny. Reply

Herbert Schwarz, MD, posted on 11-27-08 that "we are all floating in parallel universes, we have to avoid space junk" his words hit me as applied to e-mail junk.

I am working on two deadline projects and need to focus my attention to that instead of reading email comment notifications and others; the Daily Dose that arrived in the evening instead of early morning is worth my time - the rest can be deleted!

I did selfishly ask Hashem for help in focus and concentration today before I turned on my computer; this DD was His answer. B"H Reply

center It seems that the center of the masterpiece is free choice. To keep moving towards G-d no matter what is the point. Reply

Only me! I never heard something like this in my circles. Yes I know to a degree I am of certain value but never think this much. Maybe we more so emphasize that we are created to edify G-d that we should not think so highly of ourselves. But evidently in putting ourselves down we can not know how much G-d loves us. Thank you rabbi, I am in tears now... Reply

I agree that in HIS perfect way, GOD has placed each of us in a special place in HIS heart. However, the mindset of this dose sure feeds the ego of those with narcissistic personality disorder. Reply

center point If each person's transcendent center point is God's transcendent essence, then yes each one of us is the most important thing in the universe. That appreciation can be expanded to anything in the universe, and is probably the whole reason that it all exists. The one iota of inner essence that everything has in common while all the rest is the unique manifestation of that essence.

Thanks for inspiring one's imagination in a serene soulful direction of what it is all about. Reply

if i stand in my center if i stand in my center and my center is rooted in the truth of the tora, where does this leave those whose truth is rooted in their own idea's? should i conform?

can there be so many points to center that they vary as opposing opposites? where does this leave room for peace? there can only be tolerance? Reply

Only you... This is a wonderful Text. Hard to believe, because I can not imagine really, what it means.
It is so beautiful, that I am at loss of words and I stand in awe before our Creator. and am filled with thankfulness. Reply
