Questions for today:
We learned of a fabulous gift from the Creator, the ability to access and reset our deepest inner misdirection. Since everything from the Creator is tied to our input, what in out toolbox can elicit that gift?
We mentioned yesterday that the ability to get rid of any self-serving or divisive perspective from our ‘urge’, from our life force, is a gift from above.
The gifts we get from the Creator are typically a mirror of our work - what could we do that would elicit that gift from the Creator?
There is only one commandment that fits the bill: Charity.
As mundane as money is, we could use it to buy everything that we need, or want in life.
In fact, if a person is living off of their work day by day, it's possible that a few times in the year they put their entire life force into the money that they bring home.
If that’s the case, then when we take our money and put it into G-d's bank account - by giving it to someone else for charity - we're showing that our entire life is one with the creator.
