Life constitutes a series of decisions, leading to a greater spiritual awareness, in essence a spiritual compass. We initially make simple decisions, and upon reflection of the consequences, are prepared to make greater spiritual decisions. When our forefathers made the right decisions, they successfully proceeded; when they failed to follow the right decisions, they ended up off course, in captivity or scattered. We need to follow True North, God's Truth, rather than our own inclinations, similar to the deviation of the magnetic North Pole from True north. These deviations, similar to extreme emotion, throw our cognitions off course. Every decision we make should be measured by true north rather than magnetic north, making sure that every thought is brought into captivity to the truth. Daily prayer, study, meditation, and fasting calibrate this spiritual compass, enabling us to navigate the emotion ocean.
