Slow, Long-Term Progress © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH If you want to observe the commandments perfectly, you must first sanctify yourself by perfecting your personality, (eliminating such bad traits as) pride, jealousy, hatred and anger. The more you perfect your personality, the higher the degree of perfection you will be able to have in your observance. It is impossible for one’s observance to be free of blemish as long as he is not perfect with regard to all his traits. It is thus taught, “When one comes to purify himself, he is helped from on high.” * When a person wants to purify himself by perfecting his personality, he is helped so that he can observe the commandments perfectly. Reb Elimelech of Lizensk, Noam Elimelech, Likuty Shoshana 109b * Shabbat 104a, Yoma 38b

Why “Garment?” © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH

Why “Garment?” © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH …so too can one remove a garment. And the same applies to the garments of the soul. We can select them AT WILL, choosing at any moment what to think, say or do.

The Two Closets © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH Thought Speech Action Grasping any idea not directed to G-d Slander, gossip - any speech not directed to G-d Murder, robbery – any act not directed to G-d Grasping Divine Wisdom Prayer, a kind and supportive word to a friend Saving a life, returning a lost object, visiting the sick

The Garment Advantage Garments = Free Will! “The body is called a ‘small city’ (Kohelet/Eccliastes 9:14) Just as two Kings wage war over a city…so the two souls…wage war against each other over the body and all its limbs.” Tanya Chapter 9 bH © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul The battle is eternal “Man is so created from birth that each person may, with the will-power in his brain, restrain himself and control the drive of lust that is in his heart, preventing his heart’s desires from expressing themselves in action, word, or thought...” Tanya Ch 12

Quantum Leap © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH The garments are where we exercise free will. But why is the advantage of the garments of the soul infinitely higher than that of the soul itself? 1

Quantum Leap © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH “For My thoughts are not your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8) “No thought can apprehend Him at all.” (Introduction to Tikunei Zohar 17a) “His greatness can never be fathomed.” (Psalm 145:3) “Can you by searching find G-d?” (Job 11:7) “Where you find the greatness of the Holy One Blessed be He, there you also find his humility.” (Megillah 31a)

Takeaway © by Shimona Tzukernik, the Kabbalah Coach, and Corporate Soul bH Enlightenment does not begin to approach the Ein Sof, the One Without End. The garments, as the quantum leap between us and our Source, facilitate the ultimate “religious” experience. Seeking to be “G-dly” rather than “spiritual” aligns us with truth and purpose. Exchange the pursuit of self-actualization and enlightenment for a Quantum Leap Life instead.
