“God is the shadow of man” was commented upon by the Baal Shem Tov as follows: Just as a shadow follows the gestures and motions of the body, God follows those of the soul. If a person is charitable, God will be charitable too. The name of a person’s secret is God and the name of God’s secret is none other than the one invented by humanity, love. Who loves, loves God.
“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe…. Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not. Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
