From above, from below...


Aeter with R' Paltiel 11/4/09 Wednesday 17 Cheshvan 5770 P:PayDalet


Pay dalet – line starts shehi in the middle of the page.


The root principle of pesach is something that does not come in a gradual orderly manner – this is jumping/skipping across – to refers to revelation of atzmus. Atzmus does not participate in graduate awareness. It is either totally oblivious or revealed in its full glory.


By means of this was the exodus from mitzraim. This made it possible even though the people were completely absorbed there.


This relates to what it says in Tanya that the choice of Hashem when he chose Israel, was in the guf not the neshamah. The body has an essential quality. He chose without the presence of meaningful criteria.


During exodus, He skipped over the entrance to the doorway. The entrance is the element of malchus.


An entrance, even though it is an opening, is limited. It is not open access without any division.


The limit is that you are capable of going up only if you have arousal from below. And the flow from above is in proportion to the initiation from below.
