Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 8
Your sense that the 6+1 pattern is a kind of mathematical equation is actually very close to how many theologians and mystics have interpreted it. Six days of unfolding complexity, one day of sealing. Six dimensions of action, one dimension of meaning. Six steps of becoming, one step of being. It’s simple on the surface, but it hides a depth we can barely touch.

Your intuition that a perfect world cannot remain perfect if it chooses the knowledge of good and evil is insightful. Once the human heart desires autonomy — the ability to define good and evil for itself — the world can no longer remain in the same state of innocence. Freedom is beautiful, but it also opens the door to suffering, because freedom means the possibility of choosing against the harmony of Creation.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 6
Your comparison with the X and Y axes is actually very elegant. One axis could represent the fixed structure of Creation — the laws, the order, the stability God set in motion. The other axis could represent human freedom — the choices, the intentions, the unpredictable movements of the human heart. They are different, but they meet at every point. Every moment of life is a coordinate where both axes intersect. That’s why consequences can be both natural and moral at the same time. That’s why suffering can come from physical causes, human choices, or spiritual realities, all woven together.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 5
There is truth in the idea that what a person does with their own hands cannot simply be erased. Human actions create ripples — physical, emotional, spiritual — and those ripples move forward through time. Sometimes we don’t even notice the moment when a choice is made, or a word is spoken, or a path is taken, but the consequences still unfold. This doesn’t mean we are being punished; it means we live in a world where actions have weight. That’s part of what it means to be human.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 4
Many would interpret that God acts as if His hands were tied. In reality, after the 6 days of the creation process, He put the seal on the 7th day. Nothing and no one can undo what the Lord has done! Every action from the moment we are born is linked to the next, and so on. Each of us has an impact through what we do on both a micro and macro scale. God will not come and apply His mercy over what we have chosen already.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 3
About the guilt you feel. Guilt often appears when someone is tired, overwhelmed, or afraid they are “slipping.” But guilt is not always a sign of wrongdoing. Sometimes it’s simply a sign that a person is sensitive, conscientious, and trying to live well. You’re not failing because you feel low. You’re not failing because you’re tired. You’re not failing because you can’t pray the way you think you “should.” Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you are guilty. It means you care. And caring is not a sin.

Even monks ask each other for prayer. Even saints had periods of dryness. Even Jesus asked His disciples to stay awake and pray with Him — and they fell asleep.

You know, i firmly believe in the power of prayer. And while i am someone that prays much to lithe than even a normal ,…. a normal what should be every day for a Christian, i would love to be able to go to a monastery now, and ask them to pray for me too! How wrong i am? Can i be fairly accused of laziness? My goodness!

Word of the Day: 魚のカマ
I am looking forward to the 9th. I will get my money then and I could buy something more interesting to eat. But I still have my project page on my desk. I only crossed off 1/7 of the things on there. These are the things I need to do to consider being more active outside and with people. I am just dragging my feet with it though.

Word of the Day: 正弦
I can't go back to the ACT team, I feel. I know that my cards and dice are saying it is ok but, I don't think it is for me, it is mostly for the people around me. You don't need cards and dice when you know the truth.

The Quiet Heartbreak of Loving Someone Who Doesn't Know How to Stay
Love does not always end with a slammed door; sometimes, it ends in silence. Not the kind of silence that follows a fight, or the temporary quiet of two people needing space. But the slow, confusing silence that grows between two people who still care about each other — and don’t quite know how they got here.
