Pots, Bowls, Cups and other Thoughts

.
And Other Containers


We are all familiar with our various containers. You have your basic bowl to put food in. Your basic tupperware, Your basic box for various things, plastic, metal, wood, whatever material you want.

There are also spiritual containers and vessels. These may not seem like containers at first, but they are. One example is a box called "Joy". This container enables you to have good health and even prophecy the sages say. Another example is a vessel called "Acts of Kindness" or "Charity", in proverbs it is written, "Charity saves from death"! This vessel holds life.

When God was in creation mode, He wanted to make a vessel that could hold His own attributes such as Kindness, Harshness, Harmony, Endurance, Empathy, Foundational, and Kingly. Something with the ability to draw down new life, just as the Almighty can create new life. Something that can receive and give. The Holy One, Blessed Be He, created and destroy, created and destroyed worlds after worlds until He finally created this ultimate vessel: Us!

=============================================================

I've often wondered if our emotions are tied to the spiritual world. Could our emotions be the container, so to speak, for the influencial spirits going around us? And if so, how do they manage to tweek our glands (which sends forth the hormones which enables us to react with the due emotion)?

Just like a computer that understands binary codes (01100101, etc)and has to have an interface program to help it to read /interprete the codes we feed it; so to we must have an interface program that serves as a go between for the spiritual and the physical. I wonder what that is?
