So a bat walks into a bar and says "you got any manners!"

YOU DECIDE!

reb tzadik90,

i love your writing style, it's so colorful and flamboyant and makes me smile (like this: :D )

and it's so good to hear that you are tackling issues in your life, especially the tricky ones like the anger that sometimes pops up and we just tell him to go back to sleep and instead of going to sleep he climbs into the closet and bides his time...

balancing the kabala/madreigos/malachim-catching with sanity is quite the challenge. Rav Hutner said that there are many people who are what you would call a "bar daas" and many people who are "yirei shomayim", but to find a person who is both is hard. IIRC, in the hakdama to Innerspace by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, Rabbi Sutton says that the mark of a true mekubal/talmid chochom is that they have simcha shining out of their face, mesamchei lev. so if the kabala is making me into a nail-biting paranoid freak then i need a tune-up. i identify with the sometimes tough job of striking the correct balance and not going too far in the spiritual dept or in the chilling out dept.

I think Rav Chaim Vital writes that the primary factor determining a person's true level of tikkun hamidos is reflected in how he treats his wife, so sometimes the mekubalim need to learn the yichudim and kavanos of mint tea, sponga and diapers. this is something which shows me how to measure progress, if the growth is real and not phony baloney then my immediate family will benefit and realize it.

there is a gevaldig letter from Rebbe Mendel Vitebsker zy'a printed in the new editions of Pri Ha'aretz where he writes how a person needs to be 'sameiach be'chelko' in ruchniyos as well, be happy that you learned for  minutes, that you said Modeh Ani, that you put on tefilin, etc. Bl'n i hope to post the whole letter. (The Heichal Habracha quotes the letter as well in his perush on chumash).

tovarish, taaseh chaim ve'telech mechayil el chuyil!

But as the great genius Ben durdaya once wrote, by coming to GYE he has learned howto deal with these impulses in a SYTEMATIC WAY. its been almost three hours of sheer insanity, but im clean.  tell the yetzer harah tushy mushy face a message from me-now im playing by the rules too.

Great Genius my foot!

SO THESE TWO guys walk into a bar, and are wearing yellow cowboy hats.

says cowboy number one to cowboy number two "how did he know!"
says cowboy two back to cowboy one "____________"

YOU DECIDE!

im still clean...didnt get any work done, but maybe soon this psychotic craving for marmosette peanut butter will pass....
whats imp. is that im having fun being weird and im staying clean by doing so! ....

say shalom, his name is Yekusiel Zundel Gerstenkartuffel and he likes Reeses Puffs

Calvin says to moe "your simian countenance denotes a culture rich in species diversity". He winds up with his face in the mud of course.
Which, btw im clean for four hours since dying for marmosette giraffe americana peanut butter, reminds me of an insightful story:

early this week, before i got off the bus by bar ilan i saw something moving on the floor. I bent closer and saw it was an overturned ladybug. Being the 6'5 gentle teddybear that i am (im really only 5'5) i picked it up and gave it a free piggyback ride on my finger.
I was waiting to find for it a safe, comfy place for my little friend to call home, before i'd put her down.
At the same time, i was hastily running through traffic and red lights to catch my other bus. In my haste, i put down ms. ladybug on the gaurdrail in the middle of the massive intersection.

As i got near my next bus stop, i realized "hey-i just put a miniscule and defenseless ladybug on top of a metal pole between a busy street where over 20,000 cars pass a day.
