The Awakening of Feelings

Q: Ever since I was a kid, I believed my feelings weren’t real. They awaken in me a sensation of boredom and a desire to escape them. I want to feel something real!

A: This is a correct perception of the world we feel. The world is not felt for what it is, but more like a dream, as King David wrote, “When the Lord brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream,” (Psalms 126, 1).

When the Creator returns us to Him, we feel that until that time, we were dreaming.
