Transformation Cures & Success
Hi
Wishing you Gut Shabbos

The secrets of a happy, healthy, peaceful and successful life are hidden in the opening words of the Torah.
Breishit: "In the beginning of G-d created the heavens and the earth. The earth was astonishingly empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the spirit of G-d was hovering over the face of the water. G-d said , "Let there be light," and there was light.
Let's try to read the above words with the following the Chabad perspective.
In the beginning there was chaos. Heaven and earth were pulling in opposite directions. The world exploded into darkness as a result of the lack of unity and stubborn narcissism. The friction caused the world's energy to break into 248 sparks.
The earth had no peace nor harmony. Everything was selfish and egocentric. The world was dark. No glimmer of light, no reconciliation and no unity.
The spirit of Moshiach, a world of goodness and kindness, health, healing, wisdom and peace, was hovering above. But it did not permeate the word. G-d hid this Moshiach light for the end of days.
Then G-d said: let there be light! Let the world start healing and reconcile in unity and harmony.
In a 1808 manuscript the Alter Rebbe explains the human eye. Although most of the eye is white, yet the eye sees thru the little black and dark retina. Not from the illuminated white.
This inspires us to see that we have the power to find light, happiness and optimism even in darkness. Even in black. We can courageously transform pain into pleasure. Darkness into light.
We can bring peace, reconciliation and unity even in a crisis of darkness. We can transform conflict into harmony. We can open our eyes and see the world from the already hovering light of a Moshiach perspective.
By transforming the chaos with deeds of goodness and kindness, you have the power to fix the world and transform life's painful situations into a royal garden of stunning beauty and pleasure.
As the Rebbe tells us:
We are the 7th generation. Moshiach is on his way! Moshiach is ready to come now, it is only on our part to do something additional in the realm of goodness and kindness.
You are empowered to be the lucky winner and bring healing, riches, happiness, peace , unity and the wisdom of the creator to the whole world. The biblical promise of a world which is redeemed and cured.
The key is in your hands!
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) One can utilize for G‑d's service, according to Torah, all behavior-traits. This includes those traits that are unwholesome, and even those that are evil, as their names and descriptions indicate.
For example, the tzadik Rabbi Meshulam Zusya of Anipoli, of blessed memory, learned a number of methods of serving G‑d - from a thief: a) He works quietly without others knowing. b) He is ready to place himself in danger. c) The smallest detail is of great importance to him. d) He labors with great toil. e) Alacrity. f) He is confident and optimistic. g) If he did not succeed the first time, he tries again and again.
2) An emissary is one with his sender. This concept is similar to that of an angel acting as a Divine emissary, when he is actually called by G‑d's name. If this is so with an angel it is certainly true of the soul; in fact with the soul the quality of this oneness is of a higher order.
Now chassidim are emissaries of the Rebbe. So if the chassid actively discharges his mission, he is bound up with his Rebbe, bound up in his entire being - there walks a chassid, there eats a chassid, there sleeps a chassid.
3) A soul may descend to this world and live seventy or eighty years, in order to do a Jew a material favor, and certainly a spiritual one.
