Hello.
There is some confusion in our 10 about the Psalms. We have heard from the Rav and from the teachers it is ok to read the Psalms, in our last class when asked we were told not to, so can you please clarify when it is ok to read the Psalms and when it is not?
I’m not sure I understand the question. I am thinking that there is the path of nature (Jews) and the path of human nature (humanity). That in nature we follow the law of love and in humanity we follow our egoism. Like a seed that needs to fall into the dirt, rot and from it comes a fruit tree that grows, it produces fruit however you can eat the fruit right away because it will be bitter, you have to wait until it ripens before it is sweet and ready to be eaten.
We are all one, some of us went the path of Nimrod and others the path of Abraham. We have now reached a point where the path of Nimrod has reached its peak and we can either turn to the path of Abraham, or face the consequences of the path of Nimrod. Either way Nature’s plan will be realized, the question is will we be a partner with Nature or will we going fighting and suffering against Nature. It’s our choice.
What did I take from the lesson?
How things are changing, even though we are opposites in many ways we are still have one common purpose and we need each other just like the body needs all its different parts and together they form a body. That although I was hesitant at first and really kind of dreaded the first class, I look forward now to class and coming to together with the friends, and even though I did not think I would feel a connection I do, and it gets stronger each time.
The reforming light is something I must truly want and demand, like a child asking a parent. If I truly want it, and ask with the right intention, not just for myself but for all, the Creator will bestow it on upon me. Slowly I will start to feel the connection, a true connection, where I think about the friends throughout the week and genuinely care about how they are doing. I can see this happening already and it gives such joy and encouragement to continue with this and to know that there are others who understand and are there to help me, and I am there to help them on the journey. The friends are wonderful and special people and I look forward to connecting more and more.
