“Souls on Earth” p: 64

AyinBase with R' Paltiel Monday 30 Kislev 5772

Page 64 – at end of 2^nd line from the top of the page (line starts, 'hamehus...')

Some souls are sourced in atzilus/emanation and others in briah/formation. The souls from briah becom more of a metzius/defined entity.

Sunlight can illuminate an object while it is exposed to the sun – the source. A sin means the object tries to become its own entity and 'grab' the light and bring it into its own world. The souls cannot be captured and fly up when the body sins...

The souls of briah are really elokus/G-dliness and yet it can relate to physicality and even relate to the body while it is involved in an aspect of sin. . .

The souls of atzilus cannot be involved in sin. They are souls, not angels, but they cannot tolerate the aspect of sin. If you try to obstruct their connection to their source they leave.

Souls of briah are also real G-dly souls, and is not affected by the sin. Thus it is possible to return and heal all the damage. Yet it can relate to physicality while a sin is being done. Thus it is an essence, but a different level – a level that can relate to physicality.

The general difference between the souls that are present now, and the new souls that are coming in the future is that they will be of the inner aspect of atik. Souls of today are from the vessels of atzilus. The future souls will be of a completely different level. They will be elevated by being incorporated in souls of the future. “You will eat 'already eaten food'” - souls that have fulfilled their refinement will absorb the others.

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.
