The Fiery Core That Protects Us

3,000 km beneath our feet lies hell. A core of molten iron boiling, raging at temperatures of thousands of degrees, a violent chaos beyond description. And yet, it is precisely this hell that protects all of our lives. Science has discovered that the turbulent movement of the liquid iron in the core together with the Earth's rotation creates a giant dynamo, a generator that produces an immense magnetic field. This field, the magnetosphere, envelops the entire Earth and extends millions of kilometers into space. It deflects the solar wind and deadly cosmic radiation which would otherwise burn up all life on the surface. Listen closely. Without the boiling chaos inside, there is no shield. Without the raging fire in the depths, there is no life. What appears to be an inner hell, a destructive and uncontrollable force, is actually the sole source of protection. Planets whose cores have cooled and calmed, lost their shield, and radiation turned them into dead wastelands. The inner fire is not the enemy. It is the shield. Friends, how many of us are ashamed of the fire that burns within us? of the passion, the intensity, the feeling of being too much. We try to put it out to calm down, to be balanced, convinced that the inner storm is a weakness, something that needs to be silenced. But the prophet Jeremiah taught us the core law of the soul. After he was mocked and persecuted, he decided to give up, to be silent, to extinguish the fire, to speak no more in the name of God. But he discovered something earthshattering. In the book of Jeremiah, he says, "But his word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary of holding it back, and I could not." Listen to the precision. Jeremiah tried to extinguish the inner fire, but it burned even stronger. Rashi explains, "The prophecy was in his heart like a fire trapped in his bones, forcing him to rise and speak against his will. He could not contain it. And it was precisely this fire which seemed like an unbearable prohibition that gave him the strength to stand up to his pursuers and not break. The inner fire was not his weakness. It was his entire strength. The fire that burns within us is not something to extinguish. It is our shield. The dynamo that generates the strength to stand up to everything that tries to burn us. Just like the sthing core that protects the earth, the inner storm, the passion, the burning faith. These are exactly what keep us alive. Whoever extinguishes the fire inside loses their shield. So the next time we feel ashamed of the fire burning within us, when we want to put it out and calm down, let's pause. Let's remember the sthing core. Let's remember the fire burning in Jeremiah's bones. We won't extinguish the fire inside because it is precisely the sthing core that protects us.
