According to Chassidus

the gentile soul and the Jewish soul are different personalities. “Exile is not only where you live. it is what you keep distracting yourself from feeling.” That does not just mean different labels. It means different interests, different values, different desires. The Jewish soul wants Torah. It wants commandments/Mitzvos. It wants a Jewish messianic era. […]

The Lubavitcher Rebbe can still be understood

The Lubavitcher Rebbe can still be understood

as the leader of our generation because the deepest needs of this generation did not outgrow his response. The main role of a leader of the generation is not just to be physically present. “If the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s way of explaining the creator’s goodness could help people after the Holocaust, it is still more than […]

You don’t become someone new after this life.

You don’t become someone new after this life.

“You don’t become someone new after this life. you continue as the personality you practiced being.” You continue as the person you practiced being. Same personality. Same emotional patterns. 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 […]

Most people think

being a baal teshuva means fixing your past. It doesn’t. It means returning to a relationship. 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.

Some Chabad chassidim teach

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 he can be revealed at any moment when enough ‘return to relationship with The Creator’ happens. So once […]

When you have zero faith

When you have zero faith

, start with one question: “Am I still loved?” If you answer no, you build your life on randomness. “There is no deeper goodness here.” If you answer yes, faith begins. “Even if I do not understand what is happening yet.” Faith is not pretending life is easy. It is not pretending suffering feels good. […]

The Infinite Creator wants creation

The Infinite Creator wants creation

to be full of revealed goodness.Not basic goodness. Deep goodness. But to understand suffering, we first have to understand what kind of Being the Creator is. The Infinite Creator is not a bigger being inside the universe. Not an object. Not a body. Not a force trapped inside nature. Not a bigger version of a […]

You don’t become one with The Creator

You don’t become one with The Creator

because you are the same. You are finite. The Creator is infinite. You are created. The Creator is the source of everything. Like a subject and a king, you are not alike at all. So on your own, there is no natural overlap. That means oneness can’t come from similarity. You can’t think your way […]

Not all abusive people are narcissists.

And not all narcissists are abusive. These ideas overlap. But they are not the same thing. Narcissism is mainly about self-image. Wanting admiration. Protecting ego. Needing validation. Abusive thinking is different. It is about control and power. Dominating conversations. Silencing disagreement. Punishing independence. Forcing situations to go your way. Abusive thinking often creates two sets […]

People don’t suddenly lose control.

“Before people act out abusively they usualy tell themselves a fantasy story that makes it feel okay.” First, they give themselves permission. That permission usually does not appear in one moment. It builds over time through the thoughts someone repeats to themselves. Sometimes the permission sounds like this: “She’s just trying to control me.” “She’s […]
