AyinBase with R' Paltiel p: 49 - 50 7/31/11 Sunday 29 Tammuz 5771
Page 49 – 3rd line from the end of the page.
We are looking at how souls are different from angels and any other entity. Souls have no limit to what they can tolerate. Angels can only handle revelations in their level.
The light of Torah shines in souls. To say Torah is beyond world is an understatement. Souls can receive something that is beyond saying it is beyond the world!
They can receive the revelations of the Garden of Eden and the revelations of 'the time to come'. This is because the soul is not just a reflection, but rather an essential entity / davar atzmi. It is rare for the rebbe to use the word 'davar'. Usually he will say 'inyan' – 'an aspect or message...' 'davar' means 'just a presence'. A stone is simple and unlimited – like a soul. The soul gives life – but is not defined by any it's features. It is the same in the body and beyond.
The soul can handle anything – it does not dissipate. It can tolerate the essential lights and process it internally. These are lights not pointing to a source. They represent the essential truth.
Really light that comes from the sun does not mix with darkness – 'it is either or'. In the beginning there was light before the sun. and with this light Adam could see, 'from one end of the earth to the other'. The light we have today is not essential and thus no matter how powerful it is, it cannot allow you to see from one end of the world to the other. Objects block this light.
The rasha approaches things on the basis that 'things exists in the world'. The world as such is a G-dly creation and thus has unlimited resources. The rasha says, 'I can build an unlimited life based on the resources of the world'. You base your whole success on the context of the world – and its endless. The tzaddik/righteous focussed on 'not what I have, but where it is coming from...'
This is like dark and light. By light you know the purpose of an object - you see the human and soul element behind it. You see the source of the world.
This is to explain essential light. It is not from some place and then deflected. It reveals the truth directly. Light in general makes us realize there is a source. The original light revealed the truth in everything. Nothing blocks it.
It is said that there was a point 'not sure if he wanted the acts of the evil or good' – this is because in some way the infinity is brought out by evil, but the deeds of the righteous are based on constant contact...
Truth/emes is beyond any qualifier. The soul is truth. We say chochmah is the highest faculty. And it has a subject and context, but this is the external level. The real level of chochmah is without an object or subject. It is the recognition that 'truth is true'. We say sight is a physical example of chochmah/wisdom. When we see an object we see 'it' and the 'entire panorama'/context around it. Which of these 2 parts are more significant? The object can be experienced also by touch, so hence the panorama is the real element of sight. It cannot be grasped and it gives us the sense of the reality of the object. What do we see? We see, 'its true'.
But the world is not really true. The truth we identify in that experience is not of the space, but of the Creator of the space. This is the 'aleph' – the infinty in the mundane! We see 100 miles in an instant. We see it not as an accumulation of miles. We see the infinity of it!
This is representative of malchus shamayim. His dominion over everything. This is like your home. It is not a place to put your furniture – it is your domain! Who has a domain? Only a human being. A man is a king in his home. So when we see the vista, a whole panorama, this is on account of it being His domain. 'I'm seeing multiplicity at a glance! I'm seeing that his truth gives actuality to this world. How can the world have truth? The world is a lie. It is His imprint.'
