  There is an argument whether the vesomim came between the cleaning of the lamps or the sprinkling of the blood came between the cleaning of  the lamps.  How can you say there is no argument regarding the korbonos said before shachris?

  @yaakov I suppose one can only say that when his journey is complete becuase when you reach that light you'll have a whole new perspective .and from the fact that you said that must be your still on your journey

  peace and love✌️❤️😘

    it could be--you're a person with real emunah.  That's a beautiful perspective.  Thanks.  but maybe it won't be light that will be seen in this lifetime...maybe in Olam Haba.

  A contrary Perspective

  I would rather have less light in my soul and not have gone through the bad experiences

    The "upsetness" was the very plan. Moshe took the Jewish people into a space where they can experience a lack of full emunah, a lack of full kiddush Hashem, the absence of full light, which creates the ability for darkness and then the work of עבודת הבירורים. The work of finding the light inside the darkness, of peeling away the layers of shells and distractions to uncover the infinite within. 
    
    What does it mean Hashem getting "upset"? It means there is a diminished expression of His infinite presence and light. Think about when you are upset. And that is exactly what allowed the deeper waters to come out! 
    
    

    You understand?

      Sorry I'm not really understanding why hashem was upset? Does hashem not want us to acces the deepest waters?is it possible hashem was upset at the very result of moshe not being able to enter the land of isreal

        Upsetness here means that the light was concealed. Which is what allows for mistakes and sin which is what allows for the deepest healing and wholeness.

  Clarity and Pain

  Can you elaborate please on how can we get clarity faster ?! 

  (A healthy and allied with Hashem's will ).

  How to get over the pain we cause others on the way. My clarity, "was earned", now what about their pain that I caused?

    I think we can sorround ourselves with a good support system -- people whom we trust, who care for us, and challenge us to become better human beings. 

    we can cultivate a deep relationship with ourselves and Hashem, with profound self respect and self love, allowing us to connect to others with respect and dignity and attachment. 

    we can work on repairing the last by full presence and accountability. And humility. 
    
    

    and of course we can engage in a path toward comforting our traumas and dealing with them. First and foremost through genuine self awareness. Which then allows us to make choices.

  Why did Miriam die if the women were supposed to have entered Eretz Israel?

    No reason is given. Part of the mystery of the red heifer. 
    Of course she was a very old woman at the time. She was 125 or 126.
