It's not the first time I've heard it and very often that's what newcomers into my life call me. Thank you for your insight.

Some say every now and then a glimpse of a soul can be recognized. However, I believe people can reach God/Godhead (imo, there is a difference) and stay that way indefinitely. I believe we were made and destined certain parts, but in eons and eons of time, if we are to join the God-force, I'm certainly not ready until all this time has passed. (Personally, I don't know if I'll ever be ready--that's not the part I play). <br /><br />I so agree with Rabbi Zelman and Rabbi Horowitz and love how they word and explain the Oneness of God--there is none else and what that means. (The others I read about in "Gates of Unity and Faith are great too. Thanks for pointing this out to me). I think the same thing but am unable to express myself so!<br /><br />I also believe in Monism and am delighted there are others who believe so similarly to me. I migrate toward the Zohar, love Chabad Lubavitch and Tanya.<br /><br />My prediction for you: Regardless of how much time it takes, or the age you'll be when you finish, I think you should seriously think of becoming a Rabbi. There is a longing in the depths of your soul which will never be satisfied until you accomplish this. You'll then be free!Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432633271282355020.post-56353255291607367362010-06-25T19:56:26.969-04:002010-06-25T19:56:26.969-04:00However, as natural as you found yourself feeling ...However, as natural as you found yourself feeling timelessness, the whole notion was so new to me in my early teens. It knocked the sox off me. Over time, I got used to the idea. Sometimes, there's a gap between when you theoretically understand an idea and when you emotionally relate to the idea. That's what happened with me here.<br /><br />However, when the Rebbe taught that the will of G-d preceded the creation of logic, I took that a lot better. Probably, because (a) I was older and (b) years of studying Jewish mysticism had prepped me for such an idea. It hadn't come out of the blue for me.<br /><br />As for the possiblility of man attaining G*d head, Judaism's position to the best that I understand is that everyone and everything can reach this level, but will lose his/her/its identity when it does. The entity reaching this level becomes like a sunray within the sun. Of course, the sun includes too many sunrays within its body to count. However, within the sun, none of these rays have any separate identity. There's really only sun. So too on this level of Divinity there really is only G*d. Whoever and whatever reaches this level merges and disappears into Infinte Oneness.<br /><br />There's a lot more to Judaism's position. However, this is just a beginning point. Judaism believes really in more than just Monotheism. Judaism believes in Monism. <br /><br />If you're interested in further research, the best book outlining the thought process of this position (that I know of) is the "Gates of Unity and Faith" section of the Tanya. Your husband probably has a copy and it's available for study on www.chabad.org as a web version of the book.Chonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279879507351594239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432633271282355020.post-91271272085271890252010-06-23T23:55:24.932-04:002010-06-23T23:55:24.932-04:00God bless the Rebbe!
You've said a mouthful a...God bless the Rebbe!<br /><br />You've said a mouthful and then some, but I agree with the Rebbe in this--plus I must add some of my thoughts.<br /><br />I agree God--the One God that we're all a part of--lives without time. He always has and always will--He can't change. We experience our wakening spirit when we wake up and wonder where we are, who we are, and what we are. I have awaken on occasion in a world without time. Caught partly in this world and partly in the eternal world, I'm confused until I realize what has happened. My first experiencing this occurred when I was a child.<br /><br />So there is no before/after time in the God you're talking about (sorry, but I will always believe man can obtain God and Godhead status). But you're referring to what I call Melchizedek. The real us has no beginning, no end, was never created, has no mother, no father, no history, etc. This circle is what man is here to obtain/complete. We have to live this status to understand it.<br /><br />God gave us logic and reason to bring this about. Meanwhile we're all in travail while we're trying to spiritually be "reborn".<br /><br />When we truly find God through the desire He's given us, (we're all on different spiritual levels, and it's a gift from our Creator as we're ready for it) there is naturally no commandments. These were only given so we can see the extent of our straying.<br /><br />When we all return to the God who never lost us, we'll exist in this timeless world. We can't age because there is no past/no future.Angelanoreply@blogger.com
