Box of Rain




אם בחקתי תלכו
 We are all seeking the experience that can be best put as "Being in the right moment, in the right place, at the right time."  There is a magical element to time that is manifested when certain cosmic forces collide.
This is the concept of ע"שן .  Olam- space, Shanah- Time, and Nefesh- Lifeforce.  Everything that we do, has a parallel on these three levels.  Shabbos in time is Eretz Yisrael in space which is Torah study in action, as it says that a talmid chacham is the aspect of Shabbos.  So when we connect to the actions of shabbos we are bringing place person and time together.  This is the meaning of ונתתי גשמיכם בעתם , and I will send the rains at their time.  Hashem says that the reward will be that you will end up where you need to be, with what you need, when you need it.  What do we need to do in order to manifest this blessing?

אם בחקתי תלכו. If your life is turning into an existence of חקיקה, where everything is set in stone, and time seems to just be passing you by with all of the things that might have been, God is telling us, "תלכו".  Just start walking again.

אם בחקתי תלכו means to be עמל in torah.  עמל is the word מל and ע .  Eradicate the ע that negative force of the 70 nations that tells you that you have no place in this world.  The voice of the70 nations that makes you give up on your dreams of truly being able to draw out into action, how we really feel about Hashem.  This is what it means to be Amel B'torah. Shabbos=Eretz Yisral=Torah.  Shabbos, Eretz Yisrael, and Torah is the cosmic collision of perfected place, time, and lifeforce.

Becoming a הולך means to embrace יש לי כל whose acronym is ילך .  The klipah of the 70 nations takes us away from realizing what we really have, and leaves us with the emptiness of never being satisfied, and ultimately entering into despair and a state of חקיקה. 

May we all be blessed to walk directly out of any darkness that surrounds us, and recieve the blessing of understanding, and internalizing, that we are always in the right place, at the right time


Twenty Years from now you will be more dissapointed by the things that you didn't do, than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
