"They shall make for Me a Sanctuary and I shall dwell among them." Exodus
25:8
Yahveh did not say, "I shall dwell within it" (the Sanctuary), but "I shall dwell among them" (the Israelites),
meaning that the Divine Presence will be within each person.
There are two types of possible relationships. Relating to an object, a one-way relationship, since the
object cannot reciprocate, or to Yahveh and to people, which should be a two-way relationship.
Things should be used, whereas Yahveh and people should be loved. Unfortunately, many times the reverse
may occur, wherein people fall in love with things but they use Yahveh and people. People who behave this way perceive Yahveh
and people as if they were objects. Inasmuch as the love of oneself is an inevitable fact, love of others can occur only when
they are permitted to become part of oneself, because then one loves them as his own eyes and ears.
If your relationship to Yahveh is limited to going to the church and praying for your needs, then you are
merely using Him, and Yahveh becomes an external object. But when you make His Will yours, then His Will resides within you
and He becomes part of you.
Try to make your relationship with Yahveh more than an object relationship, by incorporating the Torah to
be your will.
