Always In The Beginning

With the blossoms of Springtime, all around me I see people going through their own personal death and rebirth these days. I have one friend in particular who is having a very rough go of it, currently experiencing that dark night of the soul that has to be walked through before the sun comes out again.

Being on the other end of that journey (for the moment), I'd like to remind him, and all of us who go through this at one time or another, to take solace in knowing he is closer to his rebirth than he realizes. Something must end before something new can begin. When going through that dark night of the soul, we can all take comfort in knowing that we're closer to renewed faith, optimism and light than ever before.

The end holds hands with the beginning.

And what is a beginning anyway? When does it occur?

Taking it back to Genesis, what do you think they meant when they wrote, "In the beginning..."? Did they mean the beginning of time itself? What happened before that? How did God get here? Or what happened before the Bang, if that's your theory.

Kabbalah teaches us to apply the wisdom of the Bible to modern day life, to the right now.

Right now, every moment is our "in the beginning." Every second is an opportunity for the paradise that the garden had to offer. Will we take this second for granted, as Adam & Eve took the garden? Will we indulge? We are given this choice every second of every day.

We're always in the beginning.

I was thinking of the Tree of Life this morning and wondering if maybe it only looks like a totem pole on paper. Sort of like how we used to think the world was flat? Perhaps the tree too is round. Maybe Malkuth is closer to Keter than we realize.

Maybe we're all closer to Heaven than we think.
