וכי ירבה ממך הדרך כי לא תוכל

Derech is an allusion to kedushas habris (derech gever be'alma), if the shmiras habris is difficult, ki yirbeh mimcha haderech, the reason for that is ki lo suchal, תוכ"ל is roshei taivos ונפשי כעפר לכל תהיה, you are lacking in anava.

Doesn't Dov say this all the time? Get out of Hashem's way and let Him help you.
The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

Parshas Re'ei:

V'chi yirbeh mimcha haderech ki lo suchal s'eiso ki yirchak mimcha hamokom (14:24)

If you find that the journey to sobriety is to much for you, it is because you cannot carry it alone! Because Hashem (Hamokom refers to Hashem as we say on Pesach: Boruch Hamokom) is distant from you. You distanced yourself from Hashem. You cannot to it by yourself!


Dovid Hamelech says in Tehilim (55:23): Hashlech al Hashem yehovcha v'hu y'chalk'lecha, ki lo yitein mot latzadik. Throw your burden on Hashem & He will lead you [so the meforshim explain the word [i]y'chalk'lecha[/i]], ki lo yitein mot latzadik, because Hashem will then keep you from stumbling in the middah of Tzadik, midas hayesod, the middah of Shemiras Habris Kadosh!

Parshas Re'eh

ראה אנכי נותן לפניכם היום ברכה וקללה

The Zlotchover Maggid said in the name of the Baal Shem Tov: אנכי עומד בין ה' וביניכם, 'anochi' is a person's ego, his feeling of being a separate autonomous entity. That is what stands between a person and HKBH and acts as a barrier.

Re'eh 'anochi' nosain lifnaichem bracha uklala, this feeling of autonomy, ego, is a two-edged blade, it can be a bracha or a klala. If a person feels worthless and transparent then he won't attach importance to his actions, both good and bad actions. Conversely, if he feels important and full of himself it leaves no room for HKBH (so to speak). A balance must be struck between the two.

והיה מחניך קדוש

Vehaya is a lashon simcha, simcha is what enables the machaneh to be kadosh.

Parshas Ki Saitzai

והיה בהניח ה' אלקיך לך מכל אויביכם מסביב תמחה את זכר עמלק

Why is the mitzva of mechiyas Amalek predicated upon the absence of warring nations?

Amalek represents weakness in emuna, asher karcha baderech, he 'cooled you off' from emuna in the RBSO. The way fora person to regain emuna and relate to the RBSO is by first severing his bonds to lust and foreign desires. The surrounding enemies (אויביכם מסביב) refer to the enemies of your soul. Once their grasp is loosened then you can banish the doubts and weakness in emuna which stem from Amalek.

Is there anything to add?  :'(

[quote="ZemirosShabbos]
he'ara to your he'ara: v'lo yireh becha ervas davar, HKBH won't see any ervas davar, even if there really was an ervas davar, why not? because "veshav, you did teshuva and now it is me'acharecha, it is in the past.

Shabbos

On Shabbos there is simcha in all the olamos. In Asiyeh it's through eating. Yetzirah which parallels dibur-speech it's through singing. Briya is through learning pnimiyus hatorah, which is bechinas machshavah.
