When I can’t sleep, I often free-verse about whatever’s on my mind. It’s always interesting reading it the next morning. From the other night:The worldis fullof enoughdissonanceproducemelodyperformalchemysift the good notesfrom the badthe serenefrom the siren songstep in rhythmgrow in concertwe are all notesin thisdivineorchestraof existenceIt seems we all want to be one with our natural state — content, fulfilled, thriving, but the truth is we want more than that— we want to transcend this natural state, to not be bound by the constrictions of this world, where the good is always intertwined with a bit of “bad”. Only in the next world is good 100% & bad is not even a concept. As a kid, & even today, when I walk out of the theater after a superhero movie, I feel like I have those powers, if only for a little bit. The allure of these comic books turned movies is the thought of breaking free of one’s limitations, of ridding oneself of reality, of turning what is natural into supernatural.We’ve been reading about the Mishkan & how Hashem commanded Aharon & his sons to bring special sacrifices for 7 days to prepare themselves for their service in the Mishkan. Every 7 days, Moshe would take the Mishkan apart & put it back together, as the Jews wandered through the desert on their way to the Promised Land. This week in Shemini (eight), we learn that the service of the Mishkan actually begins on the “eighth” day.As we read, “And it was on the eighth day . . . & the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people . . . “The Kli Yakar asks why it’s called the “eighth day.” The week & consecration of the Mishkan is 7 days.. he answers his own question, that related to the eighth day it’s written, “Today the Lord appears to you.” Hashem appears on & because of the eighth day, a day beyond the natural order of things. I can’t put all that I wrote in this little taste of the Dvar, but the biggest takeaway for me is that when we elevate our soul above our body, aligning our physical selves to our spiritual selves we can transform our natural space into a supernatural setting.🏊🏼‍♀️ Dive deeper in my ‘𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞’ book, “𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚡𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜.” Get your copy on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3uvdfxw) 📚or read it online @ https://lightofinfinite.com/step-in-rhythm-grow-in-concert
