No Exceptions: An Absolute Truth & The Baal Shem Tov

3/27/2017

0 Comments

 
​The title of this post, "No Exceptions: An Absolute Truth", is by no means an exaggeration. There is a indivisible connection shared between Thought and feeling. They are one and the same.

Without Thought, there is no good feeling. Without Thought, there is no bad feeling. Without Thought, there is no emotion. Without Thought, there is no sensation. Without Thought, there is no knowledge or ideas. Without Thought, there is no state of mind. Without Thought, there is no attitude. Without thought there is no anger. Without Thought, there is no integrity. Without Thought, there is no separation. Without Thought, there is no compassion.
Picture
The Holy Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov of Blessed Memory (circa 1700 - 1760)
If there was some way, to be alive and have no Thought at all, there would be no experience at all. This connection is absolute, utter and complete. There is no exception. Personal reality will always and completely mirror Thought in the moment. If you felt anything, you must have thunk it!

I am not saying you should think good thoughts. I am also not saying you shouldn't think bad thoughts. I am saying there is a devastating truth about what it is you are actually experiencing. You and I, are experiencing Thought in the moment, always and forever. This is devastating to the illusory limitation which emerges in any instance where experience has innocently and mistakenly been attributed to some power or source other than Thought.

Maybe, just maybe, this was the true intention of the great Reb Yisroel, Ba'al Shem Tov (1700-1760), founder of Chassidic Revolution, in his oft quoted principle: "Asher Mach'shavto, Sham Hu" - "As are his Thoughts, there he will be".

There is no doing attached to this teaching. This is not a suggestion about how you should feel.

No, not at all.

​This is simply an absolute truth, without exception.
