Truth and Lies p: 51

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.

The power of the name...

In everything there is how this thing pertains to itself and how it represents itself. This representation is really a secondary element in this presence – that it can be viewed from outside and that it represents itself. There is a deep element - you would think that we can represent ourselves any way we want – this is politics, but this is a perversion. Really there is an essential element in a person to represent himself. This is the power of a name – it is an external thing, but at the same time it touches his essence. A person has a body and soul – the purpose of the soul in the body is not for itself, but to express itself outside...! ~ Shiur Sunday 8.22.2010

Light Power

All that came into being...

...all the created worlds and all the ethereal entities that live in them, even the worlds that are mere emanations without tangible substance, even the worlds of thought and beyond to the realms of infinite light that preceded Creation...

--all this came to be only as a result of the thought of you, the earthly being, struggling in a world that only a infinitesimal glimmer of G-dliness has reached in its purity, bringing light where light could not be.

And so it follows, that with one simple act of beauty, all those worlds and realms of light find their purpose fulfilled, and so shine yet brighter--and reciprocate with a burst of illumination into our lowly world.

That is why the entire creation can be transformed with one simple, sincere deed.

Never underestimate the power of light.

In the world - Beyond the world - Exodus - Shattering and Refinement

Hayom Yom (25 Tevet):

"From my father's discourses we see that Exodus from Egypt means leaving limitations and bounds, and Chassidus is to enable man to leave the restrictions of the material world.

There is a difference: The Egyptian Exodus means shattering and then departure. We went away from Egypt.

The Chassidic Exodus means purification and correction, stepping out of worldly limitations and bounds while remaining in the the world.

This means, that while functioning within the world we must transcend its limitations. We are to remove the limitations and bounds, and perceive the truth - that the world per se is truly good, since, after all, the natural world is what G-d intended.

This is attained through the Avoda (work) of Chassidus."

Notes: When society and environment ("world" in chassidic usage) conflict with Torah, there may be a reaction of withdrawal from "world" and its affairs. Extreme monastic withdrawal is rejected by Torah.
Chassidus advocates being "within world," involvement in the normal routines of family and occupation for example, but refusing subservience to the values and principles of "world."

The Jew's values are to be Torah's while he functions in the marketplace or laboratory. He utilizes the opportunities and challenges of "world" to subordinate and use worldly affairs for Torah ideals, values and goals.

He will do this intellectually when confronting concepts that appear not to be consonant with Torah, and also by observing Mitzvot in inhospitable circumstances.

While functioning in this environment he is apart from it, refusing to be dominated or intimidated by it.
