Trust That Melts Mountains

Tehillim 46 takes us straight into the soul of emuna—where Dovid HaMelech teaches us that even when mountains crumble and chaos swirls, Hashem remains our unwavering shelter. Earthquakes of the world? They’re orchestrated by the same loving Hand that created us.

This perek reminds us that emuna isn’t about “when things go right.” It’s about knowing that even in the roar of uncertainty, Hashem is in the midst. When nations rage, strategies fail, and the world seems unstable—our strength is not in the illusion of control, but in the reality of Divine involvement.

It’s not about understanding every twist and turn. It’s about trusting the One who writes the script. And when we trust? We melt our fears away—just like the earth melts at His word.

Animal Taming

By Tzvi Freeman

You are the master over the animal within, not its slave.

Just because it burns inside like a furnace doesn’t mean you must obey.

In One Sentence, What Should I Know?

You should know how to positively connect with others in order to attract the positive force that dwells in nature, and by doing so, enter into a harmonious balance with others and nature.

What Should I Do When Something Negative Happens to Me?

All that is required of me is to understand that everything I receive comes from nature, from the single source that created and governs everything, and advances me toward the goal of us reaching balance with nature.

Every kind of influence upon me is given only so that I will direct myself more precisely toward this goal. Therefore, the question is always: how can I use what I am now receiving in order to aim myself more strongly toward the goal? First, I must connect myself with the goal itself, and only then look at what exactly this influence is acting upon within me. What is it directed against? As a rule, it is directed against my egoism, i.e., against my desire to enjoy for self-benefit at the expense of others, because there is nothing else in me. However, the force of nature that is constantly operating on us in all of our desires, thoughts, and states always touches a specific side of egoism, one of its qualities, manifestations, or hidden corners.

Usually, the strongest and most painful blow to egoism is an infringement of pride, an infringement of the self. We fear shame more than anything. We are terrified of being lowered and humiliated in the eyes of others, of losing our inner sense of importance. The defeat of pride, the defeat of the “I,” is the most powerful sensation we can experience. We are ready to die instead of having to go through such a feeling, because shame annuls the human within us. It destroys the self, leaving only an animal body behind. We cannot agree to remain merely an animal. We cannot descend to that level. That is why we are ready for anything in order to avoid shame.

Precisely this feeling, the threat of shame, the collapse of the egoistic self, is the strongest stimulus that nature gives us in order to push us toward the goal. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains that the entire system of creation, the whole emergence of the worlds, began from this primordial feeling of shame. Therefore, for us, it is the most effective tool for correction.

If we learn to feel ourselves correctly, to constantly awaken an inner analysis of the self, to recognize shame and at the same time rise above it, then it becomes easier for us to work on our egoism in every form. Shame becomes not a destruction, but a guide, a force that directs us toward balance with the positive, altruistic force of nature, to spiritual ascent.

Based on a Conversation about Integral Education with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman on May 30, 2012.

Everybody is going through something. No matter how confident someone may seem, beneath the surface they are simply trying to navigate life the best way they know how. Nobody has it all figured out – we are all learning in real time. We all carry private questions, quiet fears, unfinished goals, and moments of doubt.

Success is not the absence of hardship – it’s the decision to keep going despite it. Every accomplished person you look up to has walked through countless struggles. Behind every achievement were failures no one applauded, sleepless nights no one celebrated, and relentless doubts they had to push through.

Never convince yourself that you’re behind while everyone else is ahead, or that you’re the only one struggling while everyone else is succeeding. Comparison hides the full story. The person you admire has battled insecurities. The person you respect has faced setbacks. The person you think “has it together” has cried over things we may never know about. You are not alone in your uncertainty – it is part of the process.

Progress isn’t a race – it’s a personal journey. There is no universal timeline for spiritual growth – you are on your own unique path, and it doesn’t need to resemble anyone else’s. Growth rarely looks glamorous while it’s happening. Trust that there is more unfolding for you than you can currently see. Your story is not done – and some of the most meaningful chapters are still being written.

Inspired by the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810)

Have you ever pondered what it truly means to be made in the image of the Creator? It signifies that you possess the innate power to shape your own life. Yet, many of us have shifted from being creators to mere managers of our circumstances, extinguishing our inner fire while tending to external demands.

To reclaim your role as the architect of your destiny, consider these three focal points:

·        Soul Focus: Reconnect with your true essence. Remember, you're a soul with a body, not the other way around.

·        Purpose Focus: Engage in activities that ignite your passion. Ask yourself, what brings you joy and fulfillment?

·        Solution Focus: Shift your perspective from problems to possibilities. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

By aligning with your inner self and shedding limiting beliefs, you can transcend external opinions and fears. This week, I encourage you to stoke the flames of your inner fire and step boldly into the life you're destined to live.

The Freedom to Choose Your Response

A lot of people think Bitachon means becoming unbothered.

Nothing affects you.

Nothing shakes you.

There is a level of Bitachon where a person so deeply recognizes that everything comes from Hashem’s goodness that nothing disturbs him at all.

Most of us are still growing toward that place.

So what does growth look like?

When something hits you, frustration, disappointment, fear, it does not mean you lack faith.

It means you are still human.

The work is not to deny what you feel.

The work is to train yourself to remember Hashem in real time.

In the moment of the trigger.

In the moment of the sting.

In the moment when your instinct wants to react.

Bitachon means practicing remembrance.

This too is from Hashem.

This did not slip past Him.

There is no moment in my life that is not being directed for my ultimate good.

At first, the emotion still rises.

The frustration still lands.

But now there is awareness.

There is a pause.

And in that pause, there is choice.

Choice to remember Who sent this.

Choice to respond with trust.

Choice to lean into emunah instead of being owned by instinct.

You are safe in Hashem’s hands, even when you do not yet understand what He is doing.

And over time, something begins to shift.

The more you train yourself to remember Him in the moment, the less you are shaken.

Not because life becomes easier.

Because remembrance becomes your reflex.

The waves may still appear.

But they no longer feel threatening.

That is Bitachon taking root.

Small shifts.

Repeated daily.

Until trust becomes your nature.

The 10% Rule

You don’t need to be perfect at Bitachon.

You don’t need to be unshakeable.

You just need to aim to be 10% steadier than you were yesterday.

Bitachon is not about becoming superhuman.

It’s about shrinking the gap between stimulus and response.

Between what happens to you

and how you choose to show up.

When something frustrating happens:

Instead of reacting in 1 second,

you react in 2.

Instead of spiraling for an hour,

you spiral for 20 minutes.

Instead of replaying it all night,

you release it a little earlier.

That’s growth.

You don’t need to eliminate your emotions.

You need to shorten their rule over you.

Every delay becomes practice.

Every irritation becomes another rep.

Every uncertainty becomes a chance to trust.

That’s how calm is built.

Not by thinking about it.

By living it.

And then one day, you notice something.

The waves are still there.

But they don’t knock you over like they used to.

That’s Bitachon settling in.

Little shifts.

Done consistently.

Until steady just feels normal.
