Think Light. How the Kabbalah can help us come out stronger from the Coronavirus

A moment of silence. Turn off the TV and the cell phone. Make yourself comfortable. Together, let's try to understand what's happening in the world. Out there, a pandemic is forcing us to isolate ourselves, calling all our certainties into question. We can become enmeshed in despair and frustration, or we can choose to face these days wisely and turn them into an opportunity to reclaim our balance, breathe a sigh of relief and take back our life along with that of the planet.
Over the last several years, humanity has chased every form of material well-being, but in our haste, we have lost the best part of ourselves: our values, our authenticity, our depth and spirituality. With lucid and familiar language, Gheula Canarutto Nemni guides us to reflect on the current crisis. To do so, she draws upon the mystical writings of Kabbalà, with the good sense of one who knows how to listen to the world and its many voices.
"We are powerful," she tells us "we have the power to observe what is happening and draw valuable lessons from it. Above all, we have the power to set our lives on a new course." Now there is plenty of time to review our priorities, recognize our talents, reestablish contact with our inner life and the mysteries of creation. If we can accomplish this, the isolation we are experiencing at present won’t be wasted and "when the craziest race in the world starts knocking on our doors again, we will know better who we are, where we come from, what we have come to do in the world and what contribution we can make." Then, it won't be so difficult to start a new contagion – this time, far nobler, made up of smiles, new inspirations and mutual kindness.
