Just wanted to share this message.

Taken from an e-newsletter I recieved from Rav Berg from www.72.com.

Rav Ashlag, founder of The Kabbalah Centre, explains in The Gift of the Bible that the essence of sacrifice is self sacrifice. He writes about the concept of love your neighbor as yourself and states that, if we really applied it, we would constantly be running around attending to others’ needs: Does Martha need help with her mortgage payment this month? Is Bob in need of some cheering up? Who’s feeding all these homeless people?

If the entire world were doing exactly this, we would have so many people caring for us that we wouldn’t have to think about ourselves for a single moment…

…ahhhh…sweet relief….

Back to reality. In the year 2006, this sort of communist utopia is not a reality. Not yet at least. The dream of the Kabbalists is that one day a critical mass will be achieved whereby our self-serving desires will be turned into the desire to serve our friends, our co-workers, our community. Here at The Centre, we’re working 24 hours a day to awaken ourselves and the world to this reality. We by no means overlook the modern state of affairs. We know the score. But we refuse to give up the dream.

When you get down to it, acts of selflessness and sacrifice are the only things that will remove the tremendous negativity from our beings and from this planet.
