An underlying truth to everything...


Aeter with R' Paltiel 7/21/09 Tuesday 29 Tammuz 5769

Page pay bet - middle. Line starts – et shabbotie.

The rebbe brings down that the inyan that hashem puts on tephilin has 2 meanings. One is hamshacha mochin in za. And the other is the it refers to kesser drawing down ohr into mochin.

These two meanings actually join since the drawing of light into emotion is the result of additional light being drawn down into the aspect of mind.

Shchina has to do with when there is hamshacha into za.

Mochin itself has chitzoni and pnimi, and then there is atzmi hamochin.

Chitzoni is construction by logical process. This doesn't mean anything to middot. In mochin there are deeper levels that become revealed when there is drawing down from higher levels (higher than mind) into mochin.

Mochin follows a logical trend since the mochin feels that things are not as they apprear – there is an underlying truth to everything – what I see has to have an overall reality – this is pnimius hamochin. Atzmiut hamochin is recognition of the thing itself and that the middos can also respond to.

Thus flow of kesser into mochin results in the middos becoming included and affected.

Malchus is called shchinah cos it connects etzem of atzilus with biya – not just that it provides chayus to biya.

Like in the beis hamikdash (temple) where the verse says, “I will dwell amongst them” - He that is above world in the world.

Atik means removed/ancient. The things which are at the level of the metzius and physical structure – also have a much superior aspect that gives them truth and presence. Briya is a creation – a creation exists only in the place where it exisits. Malchus of atzilus provides for creation the aspect of atik – this is malchus of atzilus. Atik gives it an essential quality – the nation insists on its existence due to the king that gives it a principle reality. It gives to the creation that it is an essential presence, not just the fact of existence. A yid can be doing torah since this is his habit, but if he faces a challenge his malchus comes into play. This is not something that exists in the world.

Atik is is more than a makif, 'cos atik means remote and a makif is more “directly involved” than that.
