AAITOLLAH
Aharon ambassador in training of love, light and hope -2 years ago
Shir 2 oct 25“maiy noach” – a source for a new cleansing, not just a destructive water,Mikvah – challenges life itself cuz one cannot live under the water.   Requires surrender. Avraham chose working for parnassa rather than gehinnom. One can’t go to gan eden w/o going thru gehinnom. Can’t have blockages that will prevent experience of infinite light of state of consciousness of gan eden – relationship w/ain sof.   Gehinnom – work thru feeling of worthlessness .

The best of doctors goes to Gehinnom. Tov b’gem = 17. Only 17 parts of shemonei esrei, doesn’t include refua brocho cuz they do it., that’s their attitude.     Doctor said cuz they live Gehinommon in this world by sympathizing with their patients.

Substitute of gehinnom is anxiety –Einstein:   two things are infinite universe and stupidity and I’m not sure abut the former. ‘Yisron” – advantage

Mendel Fetterfuss story – Poor man goes on carriage w/a prominent doctor. Doctor says: “Don’t charge. Me also. Go to their house.    Pay for medicines.   Me also Poor man does everything the same.   “I only say the positive things about myself”. Rizhner Rebbe: when a yid sins he’s trying to create a new path that was never created before.   Ibn Gabariol: “I run away from You to You.“A relationship that includes all my darkness.   A light born from darkness produces “b’chal m’odecha”. Malach hamaveis – angel that speaks of death, that want to kill me. Face them and look at them.   The more scarey they are the more ‘M’od” is there. The only thing that is more light than light is darkness.   It’s so light that it’s dark. Not defined as light. When darkness is channeled into light it is a different type of light. Can produce an explosive type of love. Confront darkness. Then can get into “tov m’od”. Darkness – is b’li gavul, without structure, hidden. Don’t be afraid of it. When approached w/a new awareness gives a tremendous strength. Shibud malchios = mai Noach

The light from darkness is greater than light itself?
Yes and therefore Hashem didn’t create the worlds from the ohr ein sof, pure light, but first retracted the light via tzimtzum, created darkness, and then from that darkness He shone the kav that created all

The place where the bone is broken, or
The metal breaks, after they are healed or welded, is stronger than the place where it was not broken

In order to achieve what you are describing...
going through and sharing the darkness within yourself with someone else/GD and getting to a better place, requires an inordinate amount of being vulnerable.

G-d never used the perfect for His will. If so, it would not be Him!

You stop the plan of G-d for them, you may stop the plan of G-d for a nation!

Is it your job or G-d's job to bring that change? You cross the line of G-d in the life of others, G-d will not see you as the healer. You stop the plan of G-d for their life with your healing, you have hurt them and yourself, and turned G-d against you because you made yourself a demiG-d!

The mabul had to last for 40 days?
To correspond to 40 seah of water?

But....we toyvel in a mikvah in an instant. The AMOUNT if water is not related to the length of time one submerges
