    In terms of unity this is a struggle we can all relate to. We all face people who are different than us. Some deal with the struggle by eliminating otherness, some by eliminating the self. Both are attempts at unity.

    Hashem should help us to find and appreciate our own purpose, along side that of each individual operating within the larger organism of humanity. To integrate and celebrate diversity in a cohesive way where diversity creates a healthy organism as in the individual organs working in G-dly synchronization to create a healthy body.

    To accomplish things sometimes, one needs the hand of flesh as well as the hand of the infinite to prevail.  For the 13th gate, it appears all of the rocks should be holy and in their place, as placed by Gd, no?

    As long as the "arguments"

    and the paradoxes don't result in eternal conflict.

    I love Chaasidut it applies to all of life...it seems to me the origin of all that we do not know or have yet to discover

    in psychotherapy there is a modality which understands that within us there are emotional parts which have different rolls, and are in opposition to one another... the ultimate task is for our higher self or adult self to integrate these parts into unity and wholeness with the higher self "soul" which is never wounded...
