Yeah, it sounds strange—but here’s why:
If you directly felt the source of your life’s energy—G-d’s presence—you’d dissolve in awe. (your usual sense of “me” fades away)
It’s like staring straight into the sun:
The brightness would blind you instantly. Instead, G-d dims His energy (think sunglasses for your soul) so you can remain independent. But here’s the tricky part:
When you chase pleasure just for pleasure’s sake, you access this energy anonymously. You’re not thinking about where it came from, so you can’t build a relationship or feel grateful to the giver. Your ego then says, “This joy is mine!”
That’s how pleasure disconnected from kindness makes you secretly lonely.
Here’s how you reconnect:
1. Pause to Recognize:
Say a quiet “thank you” before you enjoy something.
Gratitude connects pleasure back to its source.
2. Share Pleasure:
Even a tiny gesture—sharing food or good news—turns ‘anonymous’ energy into joy that connects you.
Remember:
G-d’s hidden energy isn’t a punishment—it’s your chance to reconnect.
Felt this way too? You’re not alone—let’s talk about it.
