you may have missed my response from last week, regarding “work” and “Shabbat” so ill post it again here.
Wonderful, so, “work” is working on our “ego” and on Shabbat, we let the upper light do the work, or finish the work.
When you said “shabbat is an “inner state” one might reach on a Wednesday etc . A passage from the Talmud came to my mind, maybe you can tell me if it is hinting to this “inner state ? Or approves this idea “between the lines” so to speak?
Shabbat 69b:4-7
Rav Huna said: One who was walking along the way or in the desert, and he does not know when Shabbat occurs, he counts six days from the day that he realized that he lost track of Shabbat and then observes one day as Shabbat. Ḥiyya bar Rav says: He first observes one day as Shabbat and then he counts six weekdays.
