A Point Within
 |
|
Within each of us is a point where all of us meet. And within that point is a place where we are all one simple essence. That is the soul of the moshiach within us.
If so, the person who we will call the moshiach does not need to convince us to follow. He only needs to awaken that sleeping moshiach within each of us. And then we will look and say, "I know this tzadik. He is the spark I feel awake within me."
That is when we will all be liberated
we and all the creation.

May we all listen to our souls within us and awaken to His call. I thought He was far away, but all along, He was within me, all I had to do was listen. G-d is everywhere and in everyone hidden waiting to be called and listened to if only we would.

very poetic... recognition resides deep in our souls.. better than having a mountain fall on us...

Yes. A state of the entire world's mind and of G_d's mind.
So by getting your own mind into that state now, you are pulling the entire world much closer.

You have been blessed with the gift to articulate and communicate what are very often extremly diffcult issues. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My question, is this - Is Moshiach a state of mind?

I have tears reading about moshiach soul within us. If we could only drop judgments and veils of separations. Can we be like the idealistic Olympics and their joined rings?
On this day of mourning for our Holy Temple, I mourn also that we ourselves divide ourselves even within our own People with our judgments; Chareidi, Orthodox, Chassidic, Renewal, Reform, Conservative, Reconstruction.
Once I was asked, "What do you get from having judgment"?
My response, "I gain nothing."
Actually, what I get is not good, so I have learned from that question, not to judge, and I stop myself. I have "liberated" myself.
i would rather recognize the "tzaddik" and i do.
Can we see the possibility that the person sitting next to us could be Moshiach?
Can we then change our behavior to be more loving and accepting and, "see the point where all of us meet"?
Sending love and blessings,
PS
Rabbi Freeman, I appreciate The Rebbe's Daily Dose and your translation.

We need to do G-d’s will ALL the time, not just wait for "when Moshiach comes". There is a spark of divine in all of us that we should connect with G-d by doing his will, mitzvot, and learning Torah.
Sometimes people use "when Moshiach comes" as the answer to everything they don't know. We can't wait for the 3rd temple to be built, we need to "walk in G-d’s ways" all the time. In the book of Kings, it seems each king was further away and did more evil. In the desert only Caleb and Joshua trusted and were faithful. We are fortunate to remain a people based on how many times we went astray. We are supposed to be an example and a light to the nations, when we use our special closeness for the wrong purposes it brings our downfall.
Baal can't curse us but if we play the harlot in any animalistic earth bound pleasure (lust, gluttony, greed, usury etc.) we bring our people's downfall. We must choose and do the right things.
Large screen the tv of your life with G-d.

The spark lives within us and links us.
So we can reach within and activate that spark and experrience our link and live from that spark of truth.
At first we may "see" it for only a moment and only rarely, but as we continue we will experience it more and more. And that will encourage the mashiach to come indeed.

My first personal Moshiach was my elementary school principal. My second Moshiach was Israel itself.
And now...my Moshiachim come through family, friends and teachers.
