The
souls of Israel and Torah are what identify and transform the world
into a place for essence. The reason they do this... they were
selected for this purpose... and the choice was made in essence not
based on any particular quality...
It
is pure reality itself.
And
only Israel can complete this purification of bringing Godliness into
the world.
God
made this choice prior to creation.
As
the creation came down into actuality, down here in this lowest
world, the essence again shows itself through Israel.
Since
the choice was from essence, without explanation... the souls are
imbued with the power of essence.
And
thus here in this world the soul can distinguish between
pnimiut/inner and chitzoni/external, not based on any criteria.
Pnimi here means more representative of essence.
A
human being has a soul. He is sensitive to realities that do not
express themselves in any kind of contextual and tangible manner, yet
these are of great importance to him.
There
are two levels of knowing something, 1. I know it via my experience,
in contrast to 2. I know due to the truth of the subject. Chochmah
is such a pure channel that there is no “I” element. It is the
truth/knowledge itself. Pristine chochmah (chochmah hakdumah) is
that wisdom that is inherent in essence itself.
The
primary chochmah is like knowing yourself. This 'knowing oneself' –
think of your toe. When you don't think of it are you aware of it?
Yes you are. And when you think of it you are just focusing in on
the awareness.
A
person has all kinds of faculties. But the element that defines him
as a human being is the cognizance of his own reality – not due to
any experience. This is the pristine chochmah (chochmah hakdumah).
A
human being is born with a mission. He is born with awareness of his
presence.
We
put ourselves aside and accepted His Torah. Is this awareness or
not? Yes, it is awareness, not of our own experience, but awareness
of the Essence.
Essence
has all qualities, but on an inherent truth level.
When
we try to 'make sense' of our lives we miss the point. The value of
our lives is not based on the sense it makes, but rather on the fact
that 'it is so
chosen...!' God has declared that you are here your life makes the
world into a world.
