Questions for today:
How do we get our body and Soul back on track?
We learned yesterday that the Soul is one with the creator. Therefore, the Creator is participating in, and suffering through, every negative thing that we do.
Our job is to bring that aspect of the Creator back to its comfort zone.
How do we do this?
A person has a body and a Soul. The effort that we make with the Soul, is having mercy on it.
We do this by thinking to ourselves: the creator of heaven and earth is participating in, and suffering through, every negative thing that we do! The Creator is chained by every negative thought that we have!
The way that we loosen the grip of the body, well, sometimes a good yelling is in order.
If a person’s stomach hurts because they ate too many doughnuts, yelling is not going to help. But if they want to eat doughnuts for no good reason, a good yell might help.
So if we have a mercy on the Soul, and act tough with the body, we'll be able to bring that aspect of the Creator back to its proper place
