On Shabbat Yitro we read about the revelation at Mount Sinai. Each year we are presented with an opportunity to reconnect to the energy of immortality and freedom that occured during the revelation. Most of the work has been done for us by the Kabbalists and previous generations, but our task is to do the actions that will bring the world of the Final Correction down to ours. By recognizing that everyone is our messenger and that there is nothing that we can do on our own we broaden our ability to receive messages from the Light. Making sure that we do spiritual actions with a consciousness of bringing the World of the Final Correction the small distance closer to our world helps us speed up the end of pain and suffering.
When we become an expert in a certain area, it's easy to become closed off to new ways of thinking. Through the energy of Yitro, we are supported to lower the walls put up by our ego and consider other approaches and new ideas. Through the ability revealed this week to connect fully with the Light, we can achieve tremendous transformation just by staying open.
