Life feels confusing sometimes because G-d hides Himself on purpose.

Listen to this articleReady

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.

It 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.
