Nugget #95 – Mitzvot: “mutual assurance”


With intimacy is communication.  Not just verbal or visual but at a deeper soul level as well.  We are speaking of having true communications with each other that creates a community focused on transforming the ego from self-centeredness to altruistic benefactors for the community of Israel.

Such communications will bring on Tikkun Olam.  This communications is special because it causes engagement to take place with others.  We are not simply connected because of common experiences or culture but because we share a common soul: a soul that is interested in the betterment of all.  If one hurts we all hurt.  If one is happy we are all happy.  If one is poor we are all poor.  If one is wealthy we are all wealthy.  This occurs because we all become part of something Kabbalists call “mutual assurance”.

Ask yourself: Imagine a world where money, power, and war are not driving factors.  Imagine a world where well-being of all is guaranteed simply by trust in each other.  Can the mind handle such a thought?  The opposite of what we live is what we are waiting for.  Contemplate that.
