Which do you do best? Thinking or feeling? Is thinking a better talent than feeling? Which do you prefer for your own self? From others? Is feeling an unstable action and thinking stable and even keel?
How can we enlighten ourselves to feel instead of think? What are our feelings? We need to act out our six senses in order to feel. Sight, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, prophesizing. To think, we need to test our numbers, do mathematics and use the written words. Is one way better than another? Can we enlighten our entire brain, and do it all?
There is not one commandment in the Torah that one cannot do. All commandments are humanly possible. In following these commandments, all 613, we are putting our brain in safeguard. If there is no abuse, abuse by others towards you, or abuse by you towards others, the commandments are said to be all in effect. In this safety, this calmness, a place without anxiety, lies the peacefulness of prayer. To know your blessings, memorization, to pray often and to love each thought as it comes to mind as you pray, freedom of thought, one thought after the other coming and going in the brain. To welcome all thoughts, to understand yourself and be good to oneself and others.
A holiday season upcoming. A prayer during Chanukah for the safety of all our men in the military service, a prayer for all good people, a prayer for our loved ones as well as all humanity.
