G-d trusts us so much. It’s not a question of does G-d trust us. It’s 100%. I think that’s why we have trouble. We are just going along and thinking that G-d is watching over us, judging us and so on: but G-d trusts us! We have been given everything, and it is our will to survive and do good. Free choice, yah here it comes!
From an idea that G-d wants us to put into action, to a baby, every step of the way, we are given responsibility. Now, that doesn’t mean we are operating in a vacuum. Maybe there are other people put on this Earth to work on the same thing. But when it comes to types of bosses, G-d is definitely the ‘hand it over and do it your own way’ kind of boss. and a ‘you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, but then you’re going to suffer’ too. If I don’t do what G-d wants then G-d has all this energy related to this one given thing that is meant to go into it. And where does it go then? Into suffering.
Thank you G-d for trusting me with this energy.

I think G-d is moving us in directions that we want to go.
I think that if I or someone else tries to connect with G-d as if She can be expected to always seem the same, then we are underestimating G-d.
I don’t have an idea of how G-d is really supposed to be. If I say, “you should seem like this, or how I imagine G-d to be holy,” isn’t that missing the point?
How can I know how G-d is going to seem this time I see Her?
Do I know what my friends will be like when I go to meet them for coffee or they are picking up for carpool one morning? Do I know what clothes they are going to wear or expression they will have on their faces? Do I know their mood? Can I expect a particular tone of voice? Or am I most likely to meet a true self in my friend if I don’t expect, but just wait and see?

Getting used to writing more regular posts. It looks as if I am very depressed, if I look at the past few posts.
I am not.
I am very busy.
I have lots of interesting thoughts as I drive between work and home and so on, every day.
What do you think about Moshiach? I can imagine a world peace.
What do you think about there really being a God that is deciding things for us in some sort of human way?
How can we believe in something so specific as God inspiring a book with things that seem more like a history than anything else?
Can we be good people if we don’t believe in the ulitmate purpose of humanity?
What if we are making our own purpose together?
What do you think?
