Imagine Infinite light trying to flow into a human mind.
It’s too much — so the infinite narrows through channels of vessels. Psychologically, this means your awareness can only hold a sliver of the Infinite at once.
That’s why you sense G-d’s love in flashes of awe, safety, or compassion — but not continuously.
Here’s the key:
The channel/vessel doesn’t shrink love — it makes it knowable.
Labels, categories, even the names you give your struggles, aren’t flaws. They’re how you grasp a piece of the Infinite — a way to notice His unconditional love.
The practice:
1. When you feel a glimpse of love, don’t dismiss it as “too small.”
2. Pause and thank G-d for that kindness.
3. See each label, each glimpse, as a window — not a limitation.
Because every small awareness is a way of knowing Him better.
