Be Who You Are
„One must center his life in his own worlds, in his inner worlds, which encompass all...”From Shemonah Kevatzim 4:6
How frightening it is to say this sentence. And how frightening to say the further words that appear in this passage: *Let him not be confused by contents that stream into him from foreign worlds that he does not properly absorb... those worlds will find their repair in their own place, with those suited to their building and perfection.* The time has come for us to say the self-evident: every soul in our world has a role. And the attempt to engineer souls together, and to place them into pre-prepared educational rubrics, causes many evils. The time has come to give every girl and boy, every person, the powers to act through their unique gifts. Not to be afraid of "Educate the youth according to his way."
