The Chai Times // Taking Up Space

In the non-physical world of emotions, ideas, and the soul, many things can overlap in time and space.

But a physical world is a place where each thing says, “In my space, nothing else can be.”

When a human being doesn't allow the spiritual light of his or her soul to shine, they too becomes a physical object. Hence the term, “You are taking up my space.”

How large is the space of a human being? As much as he can grab and more.

We're all reproductions of Adam, and there was only one of him occupying the entire world.

But when a human being rises a little higher, a little more spiritual, a little more sensitive to a world beyond them, then they say, “Let's share this space. There's room here for all of us.”

Wishing you an uplifting Shabbat,

Rabbi Mendy & Mussy
