Truth and Lies p: 51


AyinBase with R' Paltiel p: 51 5/19/2011 Thursday 15 Iyar 5771 

Page 51 – about a third from the top of the page (line starts: kmo she katuv... )

Souls are sourced in the inner aspect of Father. All else is sourced in the outer level.

There is a constant union, and this is, 'He is good to all'.

There is an inner union, and this is, 'He is good to those who trust in Him'.

It not for the souls of Isreal there would not be a presence/download of His essential light at all.

The level of essence/etzem is in a completely different level to revelation/gilui and light.



Let's talk about 'Essence':
  • is that which need not be 'made'
  • there is light and dark – how is there such a thing as darkness? Evil? One disregards existence and you, 'do your own thing'. How? This is because there is the element of the world of 'taking it for granted'. This assumption is because the essence is of such subtle and profound reality that, 'He doesn't have to be present to be present'.
  • tzaddikim/say, 'this primary existence of the world that we take for granted, has a reality to it – it is no just there, He makes it. In a king's domain, not only are the tangible elements important, but the very 'nothingness' is also the king's and there because of the king
  • Inherited wealth is the same as earned wealth. Except you can ignore the origin when you inherent it. You don't sense its beginning. This beginning is called essence. 'That which did not have a prior source'. This is truth itself rather than something that describes something as true.
  • 'truth itself' - meaning? Truth is an adjective?! So what is truth itself? Like when we spoke about how 1 plus 1 = 2, and that we have deep concept of it. We go to the source – “the source of 'how come there is one and another one' and that they are from the same source, hence they can be two”.
  • If there was no absolute truth, then all truth would be relative and descriptive.
  • Truth does not have to be created – it refers to what is. Only a lie has to be created, 'what are we going to say?'
  • it is easy to re-interpret truth according to what is advantageous.
