Years ago I connected with Nissim Black and we did a slew of songs together. I have seen him get bigger and bigger, and his light has reached just about everyone I know.. We all have so much light within us. That’s why we feel so much light when we encounter someone that’s fully tapped into their own. I played a show with him in LA and one line from his song with Levi Robin really resonated with me when he sang:
when confusion takes a hold of me
then I forget who I am
but I don’t forget whose I am
We have to always remember that Hashem is the source of everything and there is nothing but Hashem and that we each are precious to Hashem. How do we attempt to stay tapped into faith on the highest level, to live in truth and connect ourselves to the source of all creation?
The Zohar says “There is not a blade of grass in this world… that does not have a constellation above that strikes it & tells it to Grow.” But how do we stay in the space of that resonating as an absolute truth at all times? Putting ourselves in spaces conducive to spirituality and keeping ourselves away from that which contradicts spiritual truth is key to a spiritual life of connection and transcendence.
The power of the revelation at Sinai in seeing what is normally heard is the elevation of nature and spirituality to a realm in which the spiritual became as tangible to our physicality as any physical object. Now that we can’t see and feel what is spiritually real & only what isn’t, it is that much more important to guard our thoughts and actions so that the truth that isn’t tangible doesn’t get lost in what is.
The Ba’al Shem Tov has a great explanation of the verse “I (Anochi) stand between HaShem and between you…” explaining that I-ness, the ego, is the screen, the barrier, that separates us from each other & the Divine. It is Anochi, this egotism, that separates us from Hashem, our Source.
We need to tap into the light at all times, as Nissim says, ‘when confusion takes a hold of me, then I forget who I am, but I don’t forget whose I am.’
