The miracle of viewing life as reality and not through rose-colored eyeglasses, to see world as it is and to accept its blemishes as well as its natural beauty.
Torah Commandment: To not create images or sculpture in the likeness of the seas, lands, or skies.
But what to do if we cannot worship an image?? What to do is to worship The One Great True G-d Almighty instead.
But where can we find Him?? If we cannot see Him?? To see is to believe?? Has the blind man no ability to believe? We feel G-d in our bodies and in our minds. In our souls and in our spirits. We feel Him flowing as blood in our veins. We feel Him as we breathe and fill our lungs, again and again and again.
What we feel is a G-d Who is Great. A G-d Who is Almighty, we do not shade ourselves from feeling this spirituality, we welcome its awesomeness. G-d walks with us whether we see Him or we don't, whether we feel Him or we don't.
Having a "belief" in the righteousness of the truth of Torah, in its goodness, and not to turn it around and say it persecutes against anyone, if there is an area of Torah you do not agree with, skip over it, there are beliefs that are outdated, as the old saying goes "You don't throw out the baby with the bath water." If there is something you don't agree with, you don't have to agree with it; but the truth of Torah, to "love your neighbor" is not outdated and it persecutes against no one. This law, this Torah Commandment to "love your neighbor" is the essence of Torah. No other book thought of this law first, and no other book can be trusted as a substitute for this law. The Torah tells us not to create another book with different rules. Why??
Because in these other "testaments" when you have a different god, you will not have the power of the Great G-d Almighty to help you to "love your neighbor." Instead of loving your neighbor, you will hate him. This is because only the One True G-d is good. All other gods that are not backed up with The Torah, not backed up with this law to love your neighbor, all are filled with deceit and what you will do instead of love your neighbor will be to hate him instead.
The peace of lovingkindness comes with The Torah. The peace of love for all mankind comes with The Torah. You need no beliefs in fictional gods, to pretend you see Him in an image. Your belief instead is that Torah is good, because it teaches us to "love your neighbor." Not to condemn the people of Judaism with hatred every time you see a dead god nailed to a cross and bleeding. Not to hate Jews for killing your god who is your messiah. This belief of this killing causes hatred, it causes you to hate not love your neighbor, and this hatred will permeate your very being and you will not have peace or love for anyone.
There is no other book we can follow that will uphold this rule: to love your neighbor. If what you want is peace in the world, it is this book The Torah that will cause it.
The Torah is good, it is good to "love" not hate "your neighbor."
