but that does not automatically mean they are practicing an intimate relationship with the Creator. A person can be driven mainly by fear. Fear of punishment, fear of doing wrong, fear of stepping out of line, fear of what will happen if they fail. That kind of fear can make someone careful, strict, and outwardly […]
From His perspective, there is no separation. No conflict. No lack. But He didn’t create a world to stay in His perspective. He created a world where our perspective matters. That’s why the Hebrew Bible speaks about blessings and curses, about life and death. Not because He changes. But because we experience closeness and distance. […]
to be full of revealed goodness. “People pleasing, abuse, and avoidance may all come from the same place. A person who never learned how to handle feeling alone.” Not basic goodness.

Same way you relate to others… and to The Creator. Just without distractions. The world of souls isn’t physical. There’s no physical pain. No hunger. No […]

Think about it simply: If someone wants a relationship with you, but you feel ashamed, angry, or not good enough, you won’t come close. Not because you don’t care. But because you don’t feel wanted. That’s what teshuva really […]
Some Chabad chassidim teach that the Lubavitcher Rebbe is the Messiah. But the claim does not begin with a slogan. It begins with Torah sources that explain: The leader of the generation will be the Messiah, and the Messiah can be revealed at any moment when enough ‘return to relationship with The Creator’ (Teshuvah) happens.
