Questions for today:
We learned that by expressing our Soul’s inner feelings we can love the Creator. How would this apply to people that might not live a top-notch spiritual life?
We are studying a second method to feel love for the creator.
The first method came through contemplation, this second one is easier, we just have to feel the soul that we inherited from Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
Our Forefathers lived their lives as a ‘chariot’, completely devoted to the creator without any self-interest whatsoever. Because of this, they inherited to us a soul that if we just feel it, we would feel that connection and love for the creator.
Today we learn that, because of the nature of spirituality where every facet is a blend of every other, it doesn't matter which facet of the soul that I have or feel inside - within it is every other aspect of the soul.
In fact, it doesn't matter what iteration of the soul, no matter how low it might be. Within every Soul on every level is the G-dliness emanating from the highest aspects of the soul. An aspect within which G-dliness is revealed, and which animates every other part of the soul.
If I just feel that, I will automatically feel a love for the creator.

We are all different, but what we all share connects us to the Creator.
