Abizal, whose name is similar to Abby,

was a famed Kabbalist who said meditation is far more beneficial for the soul than studying.

He conveyed that everyone should practice seclusion meditation according to his ability, either once a week, once a fortnight, or at the very least, once a month.

We seek to understand what the mystics revealed: that thinking positively, and ridding ourselves of fear (even justifiable fear!) actually shifts reality. Our thoughts place us in a mental space that allows us to align with the specific flow of Divine energy and channel it into our world.

The Baal Shem Tov said we must always maintain a settled mind, and not be in a rush:

"You must eradicate the swiftness."

Nothing is by chance.

G-d is with us always, and sometimes through quietness and seclusion, we can feel his presence.
