The Building Blocks of Kindness
“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” ~ C.G. Jung
Today, the Sixth Day of the Omer, is the day focused on yesod, balanced foundation and the interpreter of all those abstract ideas of the more profound mystical spheres into something practical.
How do we bring the idea of universal loving kindness into our minds as a "doing" instead of a "thinking" or "feeling"?
All actions start with a spark within us - even our on the spot reactions are rooted deeply inside. To consciously bring compassion and loving-kindness from our best selves into the world of action requires conscious balancing and internal negotiating - the job of that foundational interpreter, yesod.
A solid foundation takes an uneven footing on the earth to create a level place for a building and yesod helps us build a solid place within our minds to bring constructive and kind actions into the world.
