CLD #651


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Let’s just take two minutes to think clearly. Or maybe five.

The heart is like a complex volleyball pump. It has four chambers that work together to bring in deoxygenized blood (without oxygen) and turn it to oxygenized blood in order to provide the entire body with oxygen to create energy, process food and carry out the daily activities the body must do in order to survive.

How does the heart work? It has an ‘automatic’ natural pump that electrocutes the chambers to contract and relax back and forth to have the blood flow naturally. Let’s think how easy it is to mess up the system: a single valve does not open in a single contraction, one artery on the outer surface of the heart gets blocked (heart attack), one of the chambers works harder than the other, the hemoglobin in the blood cannot hold onto the oxygen the right way, the lungs do not filter out the oxygen taken in from the nose, the vein’s valve works the opposite direction, and on and on.

The heart pumps over 100 times every minute. This means in one hour it pumps over 6,000. This means that in a single hour the heart works efficiently and perfectly 6,000 times in a row. That is a 100% production rate. Where can you find an employee that works as hard as the heart works? And then multiply that by days and months and years you are alive.

I think you got the point. Hashem has breathed into us, like someone breathes into a balloon, a holy Neshama (soul) that is beyond the materialized limitations of this world. The Neshama is like the invisible fuel that makes the body function. Where is this proven? When someone dies after 120 their body is still intact, their heart (lets say they died in their sleep or something similar) is perfectly fine. What happened? Hashem slipped out the spiritual entity that was fueling the body. Therefore, we must understand that there is a spiritual entity running the show. Hashem is the one that has the heart pump and Hashem is the one that has the entire system work properly.

If this is true, why am I always caring what X, Y and Z think about me? Why don’t I do what the ‘person’ who gives me life commands of me?
Judaism=Think.
How did you say thank you today for your health?
