Fighting Darkness with Balance
"Falsehood has no legs."
- The Talmud
There are two paradigms that exist in this world: The world as it was intended to be, and the vail of concealment and falsehood that covers it.
The world as it is meant to be is epitomized by the Hebrew word keresh - the planks used to build the Tabernacle, the moveable temple built by the Jews in the desert and sight of sublime divine revalations.
The world as it exists currently - a world of concealment where negativity and darkness can seemingly reign supreme - is expressed through the Hebrew work sheker - falsehood.
Two words, the same letters in different orders.
Sheker, falsehood is written with the letters ש ק ר - each letter standing on a single foot.
When there's an imbalance between our thoughts, our speech and our action, that creates the potential for imbalance. When we're in touch with our essence - with the G-dly spark that is at our core - then we can express them in a way that the thoughts, the speech and deeds in our lives act in concordance with each other.
We transform the sheker, the falsehood, into the keresh the beams with which we build a world of light, of goodness, kindness and G-dliness.
