LMA:
The connection we have to Hashem is via Emunah & Bitachon, and that is the Mitzva of L’Davka Bo, to increase your Bitachon (see Meshech Chachma in Devarim) (heard from R’ Yaakov Freidman from Beitar).
Nothing to do with believing in mystical sources.
Which is where I am trying to get. Mitzvos are supposed to strengthen your connection to Hashem by following His will, you increase your trust in Him that He is all-powerful.
It doesn’t happen by magic (as you point out). You have to believe and cause it to happen.
But having Malachim carry/created via the mitzva has nothing to do with your personal connection to Hashem.
I personally do believe in mystical “things” happening when you do a mitzva. I’m not sure who you refer to when you say “you”.
I don’t own a TV!
I just don’t like the ignorance that has developed in the Yeshivish/Charaidi world. I actually think you and I are arguing in semantics, as your “mystical sources” is my “Note Es Haolam L’Chayim” and the concept of Tikun (I hate to use that word, makes me sound reform) in general.
P.S. When I say I would like to see it inside, that means Parsha & Dibur Hamaschil, not repeating it. If you heard it from an Adam Gadol, that is good too.
Thanks, and I am glad we can have a discussion in a civilized manner.
