Chapter VII: The Way to Sense
Hashem's Existence
practical guidelines:45
Rema begins his commentary on
shulchan Aruch (code of Jewish law)with the pasuk shivisi Hashem
l'negdi Tamid: I place Hashem before me at all times: this is one of
the essential practices of tzadikim who walk before Hashem always-
awareness of His presence together with the study of Torah.
To feel Hashem in our heart
- dedicate a quiet hour for contemplation, using question and answer format (Avraham Avinu-”I am in this world, how did I get here?) until the answer is deep from your heart: there is a Creator who created me!
- Do it everyday often (print up card and attach it where you see it often- every half hour= this will give you da'as to the idea, a real connection to it)
- Be patient, results are never instant, no rush, Hashem sends us what we need when we need...===================================

The
truly straight path:virtue of personal prayer: self evaluation
and confession of sin (daily soul searching and teshuva=fine tune
ourselves in this way)- brings clarity so you know which way you're
going in life.

Teshuva:
1.
the more we speak to Hashem each day, the faster we will see the
geulah
- and the more we will effect change all around, a ripple effect to others so they begin seeking a relationship with Hashem.
- bring happiness!- “uncorrected transgressions are like lead curtains around our soul...they block Hashem's light”70

71: Rebbe Nachman's letter to us, read out loud
- as soon as we call to Hashem, He drops everything else and listens to us- saves the world from calamity
- we were created to live a life of emunah and closeness to Hashem- personal prayer gives us both.
- “when we judge ourselves, and confess to Him, He always forgives.” 75
