Science lessons!
Its a beautiful day in the neighberhood..wont you be mine? its stunning outside here and i just thought ya'll should know, the hardest part of these things is knowing how to start, once i start i'm fine i keep going and going (just like a duracell battery) but thats the hard part, its the law of intertia an object at motion stays in motion an object at rest stays at rest. its amazing how much mussar and hashkafa can be learned from science, i could just expan on that right now for about two pages but i have another science lesson for you today.
currently i am learning about the respiratory system. even the people who arent science majors know that teh basic function of the respiratory system is allowing us to breath. the scientific terms for this is inspiration(inhalation) and expiration(exhalation). you can see for your self that this is gonna get me going (besides the cgoffe nad the fast music just help make it all go faster) inspiration is an active process, though we do not think about it much, yoiu are actively breathing. your body has to work to bring in air into your body to insure that you have enoug oxegyn being delivered throughout your body!, however what you probably dont know is that expiration is a completely passive process. we do not force air out of our bodies (yoiu may exhale sharply when doing yoga or something but that is not the normal body process at rest) there is something known as elastic recoil that makes your lungs pull in by themselves do to their elasticity causing the air to push out. think about a slink, you pull and pull as soon as you let go.. it snaps back together. that is what your lungs are doing.
so now that my point is painfully obvious i will slightly digress and then bring it all back together. my highschool had their production this week, and of course i was awed as usual at the sheer genius that goes into making a production in such a short time (3 weeks to be exact). the production is titled "PAINT!" and is basically depicts two main scenes, one of the miraglim who come back to the jews in the desert and try to convince everyone that Eretz Yisrael is horrible and they are all gonna die, while teh women refuse to believe them, they had belief that Hashem would protect them adn keep them on their high level, they didnt have to go back to teh level of 'teva' though the men were too scared to keep living on such a high level.
the next scenario was the story of sheransky. i dont know how many of you know this story so im gonna say it over in a nutshell. he was a russian jew who was involved in helping people get exit visas all the while trying to re-unite with his wife who moved to the HOly land the morning after they married. he is arrested and is brought to a prison where they torture him, trying to get him to admit that he made a mistake and betrayed his counntry and they would then release him, he refused for legally he was doing nothing wrong, they then stopped sending his letters to his family and his wife in E'Y so he went on a hunger strike for over 100 days untill they finally gave in, he had teh KGB on their knees begging him to eat, they kept saying that if he just admitted that he was wrong they would help him, but he refused he knew that he was right and refused to admit him, no matter how much it broke his body, his soul and spirit were stronger with each passing day. finally they gave in, and then evbentualy they sent him to Israel to rejoin his wife after 12 years. he knew taht if he gave in even the sligtest inch then they have won! and he could not handle allowing that. he refused to be their slave! he would only serve Hashem ( i hadnt mentioned this but at the begining of teh story he was a recent baal T'shevua)
so now with 15mins on the clock, i race to tie it all together. the production is called paint to show that we paint teh world we live in, we choose outr future, we choose how to react to everything in the world. it is up to us. it is up to reach for the inspiration, it is our choice to reach to be "AM inspiration" read it the right way you'll see it. inspiration doesnt come easily, sometimes its labored when there are toxins in the air, or when there is pollution, but if we dont work, especially in the face of pollution then we get to only expiration. the passvive process. we learned that before going under water the best thing to do is to hyperventilate, breath too much, raise the oxygen levels in your body and your body will naturally get rid of teh CarbonDioxide through your movemnet it will burn. expiration is passive, its natural. you want science to prove the life is a down escalator mashal? here it is, the body naturally pulls back, and you expire(you can take that word in both definitions) death is the lack of life. this may mean spiritually this may mean in just one part of life but it always applies. to live you must be inspiring and find your source of inspiration- find yoiur oxeygen tank in this polluted world, where every breath is labored. we dont realize how labored it has become since we are constantly sorrounded by this pollution it becomes second nature but as long we are inspiring then we arent expiring and anyway you look at it, expiration aint a good thing(dont hold your breath forever, CO2 collect in yoiur body...and that aint a good thing) so be inspired and choose to PAINT!
