Depression, anxiety and pessimism damage the channels of blessing from Above.
In the Zohar it says “There is a lower world-our world- and there is a higher world.
The lower world is meant to continuously receive from the higher world, but the higher world will only provide in accordance to the lower world’s state of being.
If the lower world glows with a luminous countenance, then it will receive illumination from above, but if it wallows in depression and anxiety it receives strict judgement.”
Therefore it is written “SERVE G-D WITH JOY!!!”
“And the joy of man draws upon him another joy from above.”
Taken from “Bringing Heaven Down To Earth” by Tzvi Freeman from the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson
