keeps playing the same playlist of thoughts?
Crazy fact: you only ever have 7 kinds of thoughts. Yep, just 7!
Here’s why:
– Kabbalah (ancient wisdom) teaches that the universe runs on 10 energies from The Creator.
– 7 of these energies power all our thinking.
Quick example:
Ever find yourself showing off and feel kinda guilty after?
Here’s the hidden good news:
“Showing off” is actually your soul craving connection.
According to Kabbalah, this urge comes from something called Tiferes (think: beauty, pride). But here’s how you flip it into something awesome:
Use Chochmah—aka self-compassion (Rabbi YY Jacobson shares this brilliantly)—and:
– Be kind to yourself for wanting attention.
– Realize it means you’re proud of something you achieved.
– Recognize it’s a form of gratitude toward The Creator.
Realize: “My thoughts aren’t wrong—they’re signals waiting to be understood.” (they’re about connection)
Next time your brain hits replay, remember:
You’re only 1 step from transforming guilt into gratitude. Which of the 7 thoughts do you keep noticing?
“Your mind only has 7 thoughts. Ever wonder which one you’re thinking right now?”

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
