Chapter 9 of Tomer Devorah is basically your guide to being a 'chill king' in the realm of spirituality, focusing on the trait of kingship (malkhut). It's like being told not to let success get to your head and live like you're still hustling.
First off, it’s all about humility. Imagine you're super rich, but instead of flashing your Gucci belt at every turn, you’re rocking thrift store finds without a care in the world. That’s the vibe. You should think of all your bling (yes, even that sweet, sweet crypto stash) as just stuff that really doesn’t define you. Stay grounded, because at the end of the day, it’s just you and your sandwich.
And when it comes to prayer time, it's about dropping the ego and getting real. You gotta come to terms with the fact that, no matter what, you're just another dude or dudette in the cosmos. Like, even King David was all about this, often saying he felt alone and small—total emo king vibes.
Now, get this, there’s also a bit about self-imposed exile. Yep, it’s like deciding to live out of your van and travel the world, but spiritually. It means stripping down your life to the essentials so you can carry your home (aka your spirituality) on your back. Why? To feel a connection with the divine, even when you’re all nomadic.
And fear, oh boy, it's not about being scared of getting an F on your paper or like, a spider in your shoe. It’s about the fear of messing up so royally that you disconnect from your inner divinity. Think about the fact that every little bad thing you do is like throwing trash in your soul. Nasty, right?
So, what's the takeaway? Keep it humble, make your life a journey, and keep your spiritual house clean because, like in any good RPG(Role-Playing Game), the higher your wisdom stat, the better you navigate through the game of life. Stay low, go far!
