  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.....

  Question for Rabbi YY

  Hashem vivifies all of us, every level and part of creation. Including the yetzer hora. Who gave the yetzer the ability to be conniving? Obviously Hashem. Given the start of camps for kids, it reminds of the famous idea of color war. An arbitrary division of the entire complete entity (the world, camp) into two divisions and then the Grand Divider sits back and watches. Is it guaranteed that, considering Moshiach must eventually come, that the outcome for this war, at least on the national scale,but perhaps not on every individual, that the side of kedusha and the holy, will eventually win. I.e. we're part of a grand cosmic board game sherr the outcome is predetermined but out collective and cumulative choices can merely hasten but not alter, the eventual outcome

  Question for Rabbi YY

  It was said that to check whether a thought, word or action is to ask one's self whether it is leading to positive holy good result in deed (indeed!) and fact, reality, action, etc.. There is a commonly used expression, when someone wants to challenge a certain plan or path or decision taken by another, "How's that working out for you?". While sometimes that is used somewhat sarcastically when it's obvious, at least outwardly, the plan isn't working out too well, nevertheless the idea is similar. The difference is that one should ask one's self, and do so honesty, as opposed to another asking when failure of the plan seems obvious.

  I did not understand the answer regarding the process to identify if the thought is from kedusha or klipa - you said one has to see where the thought leads you if alighment with the almighty etc. - but if the thought is telling you it is kedusha then one thinks this is alighment with the almighty (like by korach) even though it really is the opposite? Can you please explain this important concept?
