Description

p. 145. A person is where his thoughts are. At the core, am I a neshamah (soul) or a guf (physical being/body)? The thoughts of a person need to be focused on the inside of his life. In shul, but a million miles away. "Vayikach Korach" - what does it mean to "take" a person? The concept of having a "t'chum" (boundary for) Shabbos by placing food in a certain location. Is the sofer (scribe) fully focused on the T'fillin, Mezuzah or Sefer Torah he's writing? Thinking about things that our neshamah naturally recoils from. Allowing the media to draw our minds to far away places and into a negative virtual reality. Getting away from the stench of unclean and vile thoughts and character traits. Eliyahu Hanavi's (the prophet Elijah's) sensitivity.
