Q: If i understood well, we’re saying that the holy spirit cannot dwell in ‘sadness’ …
My question is about the meaning of the name Isaac (Gen 22:2) + the action asked by God to Abraham + the reaction of Abraham (being willing to sacrifice “IT”: accepting to (kill) he’s right to Isaac that is the access for joy, happiness, laughing, etc. Would have been so, could not the Holy Spirit dwell in Abraham left in mourning, sadness, Like for Jacob crying for Joseph ?

A: That is an excellent question. What happens when someone stops laughing, smiling, and can’t express joy and happiness? They become heavy, sad, angry, and disconnected from life, from communication, and from relationships with the living. Sadness is felt inside as something solid, as a weight, as furniture, and it takes up space and demands maintenance. Since there is no space left, the Holy Spirit cannot come and dwell, for the space is occupied by a horrible master: the ‘I know what is right, I am the ruler.’ And the Holy Spirit wanders, considered to be an exile, for it cannot find a place to be. And here we are again, in the story of the garden. Who expelled the Shechina, the Holy Spirit? It was man, with his self-importance.
