Just finished Sunday chassidus.
Aleph, beis of existence!
Not knowing this truth of existence is like driving a car without ever learning how to drive and never reading a driving manual. Crashing is inevitable.....
I can only experience God’s love when I can remain present with who I’m. Being able to recognize both, my strengths (nefesh Elokus) but also my shortcomings with honesty. In that space I can experience the unconditional love of God and become so grateful for all the good He gave me in my life. But also at the same time have introspection in the areas that needs avoidah and own them. When the view of who I’m is distorted and all I experience is non existence, it’s unbearable to remain in the presence of so much pain. I must distract myself with anything that promises me any hope of existence and it doesn’t matter how short lived that might be. Often in that painful state I can’t experience God. What I experience is my own infinite pain and that becomes my experience of who God is. It doesn’t matter how good God is, my pain is all I experience. I have lost the perspective of reality. You can have it in a marriage as well. One spouse can suffer from so much past trauma and hurt that their sense of self is so distorted that no matter how loving and caring the other spouse is with them, unfortunately, all they are able to experience coming through from the spouse is pain. In reality they are only experiencing their own pain.
Thank you so much.....

Is busy dying" in a song called "It's alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)"
