Cancer: Metaphysical Contemplations and Considerations

Chapter 73; Verses 21-28) that holds the key to the door of recovery;

“When my heart was in ferment, and my mind was sharpened, I was a boor and did not understand, like an animal I was with You. Yet I was always with You; You have held my right hand. Guide me with Your counsel, and afterward, receive me with honor. Whom do I have in Heaven besides You? And, when I am with You I desire nothing on Earth. My flesh and my heart yearn; G-d is the rock of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, all those who are far from You perish, You cut down all who stray from You. But, as for me, the nearness of G-d is my good; I have put my trust in my Lord, G-d, that I may recount all Your works.”

What the Psalmist is saying here is that even when we are engaged in sinful acts, G-d already counts us as being worthy of redemption. Thus, we must begin our return to G-dliness by acknowledging that He is the one true G-d who controls the world. Accordingly, when we say out loud with gratitude that nothing is independent of Him, we immediately nullify the animal’s false notion of autonomy. This pokes a gaping hole in the shell of darkness and the G-dly Light from within bursts forth to reconnect with its source. Therefore, the struggle to triumph over such adversity begins and ends with the tendency to think of one’s self as being in control rather than attributing all events to G-d’s infinite Wisdom and Mercy.
