Description

Once we have mastered the step that Hashem is a living thought in our mind, then we move onto the next step. The second step is knowing and feeling that not only is there a Creator, but that the Creator created everything. There is a Paroh inside all of us saying that although Hashem exists I really control things. We believe that we created ourself even though we "believe" in Hashem. Even believing Jews have to uproot the Paroh inside us. The reason we have so many difficulties with our Judaism is because our emunah is not so clear because of our Paroh deep down inside of us.
