Chaos Theory
A work on Hashgacha Protis
By: Mordechai Lightstone
The Anthropic Principle: This principle claims that millions of stars and distant galaxies generate (by means of gravity, magnetic and other energy fields) certain general physical conditions on the Earth which constitute the exclusive conditions necessary for the existence of humans and other forms of life. Indeed, even a small deviation from the present physical conditions on Earth would make the existence of human and other forms of life as we know it, impossible. These conditions are dependent on the joint influence of all the billions of stars and galaxies. This means that the entire universe is designed in such a fine way as to enable life on Earth (Mind Over Matter; Overview liii) ·
Prelude Brooklyn, New York 1948 The line outside of the Rebbe's room was long. People sat on the wooden benches of the anti-chamber, shifting uncomfortably in the warmth of the balmy New York summer and the heat generated from numerous bodies cramped closely together. ''Thank G-d,'' Muttel sighed to himself, ''After being stuffed in cattle cars it doesn't hurt to be so close together for a good reason."
Despite the heat that made so many others squirm, a shiver ran down his spine at the very thought of all of those souls, so recently martyred, his family. . . No. . . No! Muttel screamed in his mind, he would not let himself dwell in the past -he couldn't- life must go on; to sink into despair and self-pity would only be falling pray to their insidious plans. Muttel began to recite Tehillem (psalms) with renewed fervor.
''Mordechai Edelstein?"
Muttel looked up, was it his turn already? As a Chassid, Muttel knew his Rebbe was no mere rabbi but rather an awesome spiritual leader, a Moses of his generation. To go before him was to be stood bare, no longer protected by the mental walls of denial and ego -all of one's innermost thoughts were made clear. One must be ready before entering the Rebbe's chambers. Mustering all the strength that he could Muttel approached the Rebbe's room, knocked on the large door, and then entered with down cast eyes. Fear coursed through Muttel's body, a fear of being seen, of one's every deed being revealed.
