I have not written upon this platform in a long time and i ask you my dear reader to take my words seriously. PLEASE!!
This is a topic very sutle indeed yet its depth knows no limit.
I have been journying and exploring this great thing and it is…
BREATH!!!!!!
The breath is in exile yet released when the man breaths, yet soon after there is another breath to be released…
was that first breath truly redeamed or is it still in the exile of the second and how can the first breath be goen when another takes its place?!!!!!
I have been up full nights pondering this and i beg of you to respond.
FOR THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER!!!
-Dr.Brownare you ok?
i feel i may be missing something and would love to be filled in
How is your day going, sir?
I really don’t think you are a doctor but maybe you should see one
Dr. Brown,
Your words read less like a question and more like a meditation, and they deserve to be met on their own terms – not rushed, not mocked.
Breath is a fitting metaphor because it sits exactly on the seam between body and soul. It is the one act we do that is both involuntary and chosen, constant yet always new. That tension you’re sensing is real.
A breath is not redeemed by being kept. It is redeemed by being completed.
The mistake is to think that redemption means permanence. In truth, the first breath is not pushed back into exile by the second. Its tachlis was never to remain – it was to give life in its moment and then make room. Completion is not negation.
Think of it this way:
If a breath had to remain in order to be redeemed, then life itself would be impossible. The very act of living requires release. What you call “exile” may actually be bitul – so that something new can emerge.Chazal describe the soul as something that “goes up and comes down” with every breath. Each breath is a full world: inhalation is receiving, exhalation is giving back. Redemption is not escape from the cycle; it is harmony within it.
So no, the first breath is not lost. It is sealed. Its work is done. The second breath does not replace it – it continues the song.
And perhaps that is the deeper truth you are circling:
That meaning is not found in holding on, but in trusting the rhythm that Hashem embedded into existence itself.If you’ve been awake at night with this, take comfort in knowing that this is not confusion – it’s attentiveness. Some people sleep through life without ever noticing the breath at all.
May you find menuchah not by stopping the questions, but by letting them breathe.
Zumbodi’s a littel craizie, a nut job Dr. He also needs to learn how to spell…
God true name is the same as breathing every time you breath your saying gods name.
@resque. please do focus more on breathing and its corellation to torah. Remember my words. Its all just Breath Control.
Correlation to Torah or common sense. I don’t confine myself to an ideology but to realistic thinking.
I don’t constrict myself and force myself into a box that someone else believes but what do _i_ believe. The code is already written into our hearts.
