I want to say thank you so much for your shiurim on sexual abuse and speaking about it I wish there was more Rabbis that spoke like you it would help people heal. I have bin in my own journey for 12 years of recovery and healing in the pass few weeks it’s bin very intense and feel at some times I want to give up bec it’s so painful there are times where I just want to stab my own heart because the pain is so unbearable but hearing you gives me hope and feel special to Hashem the fact He choose me to go through this and being His soldier. Please continue what you are doing may Hashem bless you a very long health happy life May you see the Geula and be part of it from start to finish may you have lots of joy from your children where they grow up to fallow your ways and Hashem and never feel confused in like of what’s right and what’s wrong. May Hashem give you always clarity.

Following up on my confusion the thought came to me why does that soul have to bear such pain .I can't fit it into the moshel of war luring the enemy .to me it fits more with the explanations of the BaalShemTov concerning previous incarnations. What is the Rav's view of that.?

Cavod harav thanks for most insightful rendering of the maamar .it is still confusing that although the soul with the body extricates itself from the entanglement with evil in a personal victory most often the evil people are not affected and may even persist in threatening. What then was the mission all about ? Seems like it was only a personal mission!

The truths you explained in the last few chassides class are what saved my life. Saved me from a never ending descent into endless hells…… Where I felt I was stuck forever with no hope insight……
Who would save me? Why was I worth been saved? By who? By a self that didn’t exist? Or by a worthless and shameful self? (just to name a few) that would kick me in the face for trying to exist?
Just an endless floating into nothingness and insanity…..
And what would I do with existence?
There was no seat for me in the play of life. My soul was roaming around endlessly in search for the seat of self. How can one remain in the eternal pain of nonexistence?
Chassides reached into the darkness of my heart and soul.
I no longer felt alone and abandoned. In that darkness I became humble and then my consciousness was able to expand and open up to all your incredible and profound teachings. They reached and awakened my core allowing me to connect to my pure unscathed Divine self….I was home!

The core pain of non existence is the pain of no attachments

The real struggle is not to escape into all kinds of spiritual attachments, (spiritual bypass).
Instead it’s being able to remain in the full experience of darkness (non existence etc.) down here, dirah betachtoina. And attach down here to Infinity and spirituality, while in the full blown experience of hell. Being able to remain in that dark hellish experience can become a springboard for infinite healings and attachements.(Dirah betachtoina).
Same in marriage, if my spouse needs to save me, he becomes the marital bypass, I will use him to escape my pain. To escape myself. That will not yield attachments, not to myself not to the marriage.
If I can be vulnerable enough to sit with the full experience of my pain with my spouse then real attachments and healings can begin to happen.
