There is a quote from Anne Lamott “I may not be much, but I'm all I think about.”
This human obsession with self, expresses itself very much so in our relationship with others, be they our family, friends, or even G-d. Let’s take this a step deeper, and we will see that all relationships are in the arena of emotions, primarily, love, fear and compassion. Thus, our capacity of emotions is the area most effected by our obsession with self, for it is through this obsession with self that we give birth to any and every one of our feelings for others.
In this lecture we are going to examine how we can break free from our bondage of self, in which our obsession with self dominates our each and every thought.
This lecture is based primarily on a maamor the Rebbe delivered on this Shabbat, in 1968, exploring what it means to love G-d and to fear G-d.
