So Rav say’s there are no miracles in this world, only the upper world. another place he says, you have to look at it two ways. Either everything that happens in this world is a miracle, or there is no miracles, but only in the upper world
and then we have Hanukah which happened in this world, and we talk about miracles, we look forward to miracles, so did the oil last eight days literally in this world? or is it only speaking of the upper world? how do I reconcile the Hanukah miracle with these two perspectives that either everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle?.
Thank you Gianni and Jon. I asked cuz my wife gets emotional when she hears some christian songs from our past. (I like some of them too depending on the words) But she studies judaism now and encourages my study of kabbalah. i like that, re: “the music is not giving me feelings, rather it’s something that was already in me”.
Kabbalistic music has a special power to it, what about secular music that has some godliness in it, or even some christian songs That move us? In some way to be emotional for the Creator. Is this okay? And whats the main difference.
If red is not actually red but whatever light it absorbs, its just our perception. Why does everyone else see red too? Or is that just my perception again ?
Outside of the Ten, Im starting to like this idea of being just like everyone else, at work for example. I don’t try to push kabbalah on them or even talk anything about G-d. Even though they know im religious as well. I act like them, it seems to keep things on good terms. Although this is a different context, Im reminded of the example of the holy sages before pesach put bread crumbs in their beards to appear un-holy to others. (Would love the quote?) I know im not holy, but i like this idea. Can you tell me more about this practically and spiritually ?
