Knowledge is Power -- G-dly Knowledge is SUPER Power.
Leonardo da Vinci, was fascinated by the idea that nature, holds solutions to engineering problems that have eluded human ingenuity. Humans, Leonardo wrote, “will never devise any invention more beautiful, nor more simple, nor more to the purpose than Nature does; because in her inventions nothing is wanting and nothing is superfluous.”At least two of Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires, suspected names are Elon Musk and the Bank of America, are convinced we live in the Matrix. They are secretly funding scientists to help break us out of it. Some of the world’s richest and most powerful people are convinced that we are living in a computer simulation.
The argument is, that by some unknown mechanism, what we see is only a function of what truly and really exists.
The universe is way too accurate to have evolved merely by chance.
It’s a shame Leonardo didn’t use the term G-d, as the credit for all that is so precise and intelligent in this universe.
Same also for all the billionaires. Save your money. The answer to your hunt is, G-d. Yes yes, I know people are afraid to use that word and name”G-d” because then it obliges them to consider G-ds reality, and what follows are our responsibilities toward Him.
The Holy Baal Shem Tov (1690 – 1760) taught that everything a person sees or hears is intended for that person. It’s a message from G-d to assist the person in fulfilling his mission in this world, all part of THE plan.
The Baal Shem Tov further taught, that Divine Providence extends to even the most inconsequential detail in this universe. Since G-d fills the ENTIRE place and there is no place void of His existence, and since He is the reason for every existence, it logically follows that whatever happens in a person’s life is meant to be, intentional.
I would like to share with you my own personal “take home” message from the recent elections.
This was a very long and protracted campaign. Mud and dirt being slung all around, enough to fill a couple of Olympic size pools. As we were heading into the home stretch there where all these professional “scientific” polls, professionals in political science, pundits and gurus for the most part projecting one particular winner. People were defecting from the one party as an act of protest over its candidate. It was a mess and didn’t look good at all.
Well, the race was still going on in full swing and all of a sudden we had all these wiki leaks coming out revealing all kinds of ethical lapses of judgement, exposing the security of this country, quid pro quo with some of the worst human sacrilegious countries and much more.
All of a sudden, a new bomb was set off to the favor of the candidate who couldn’t even get the support from his own party. Most likely, if not for that gift “from heaven”, through whichever medium it reached the media, the winner was pushed over the edge, probably more out of disgust for the other candidate, and won.
Everyone, I mean everyone was working against the final winner, and in the end he WON!!!
The lesson.
The first paragraph in the code of Jewish law is, “do not be embarrassed, and don’t cower before those who ridicule you.”
When you have a mission to perform, a journey to take, a goal to reach, don’t melt before all the naysayers. Be confident and proud of who you are and where you are heading.
And here is the most important lesson. Never ever give up hope in the infinite possibilities G-d has, to change the course of things. Our sages teach us, “even if a sharp sword is resting on the throat of a person, never ever become despondent.”
Our duty is to keep on trying and trying, putting one foot in front of the other, and if it is meant to be, G-d can & will make it happen, perhaps and many times after we have proven ourselves, at the last second of the race.
Our sages teach us. The reason why the Bible tells us the stories regarding our forefathers Abraham, Isaac & Jacob is so that we know, they paved the way and set the example to overcoming tests, struggles and challenges. Their lives each one of them was filled and saturated with hardships and they succeeded in overcoming them. As our forefathers, they instilled within us the strength for perseverance and success at the final end.
Our focus must be on taking one day at a time with absolute faith and trust in G-ds wisdom and kindness. He, has granted us the strength and all the necessary tools to succeed. Each one of us in our own individual and unique missions.
