The decision to create the world is through the souls of the righteous. They are the internal intent in the whole creation. They are the essence of creation.

They are the inner intent of creation.

The initial initiation, is essential. It is an essential reality in Godliness. And this is not just a 'kick-off' and then it runs along on its own... it is not like throwing a ball that continues to fly by inertia. We say the original motivation continues to carry the ball.

The initial force remains the inner intent of the world - the internal vitality of the word.

The souls were created as real entities. Real presences. That is to say they are essential, not just external. They cannot be defined by their effect. They don't dissipate. They can be totally unobtrusive.

They can tolerate revelations of essential, inner lights and not be nullified.

In today's session we review a class from last week and try to gain a better understanding of what's being discussed...

"Out of Town" - Review Sessions

With Rabbi out of town this week, we have been having review sessions.

We have been reviewing Monday's video and not making a video or taking notes. 

We plan to get back to regular posts on Tuesday of next week. 

“Rooted in Essence” p:49

We are saying souls are a real presence and not 'nullified before God'. What is the meaning? The soul is aware of what it is. From this awareness all else flows.

Anything with a functional presence is defined by its function... the soul by contrast identifies itself from an internal perspective. How could that be on a level where there is only God? The soul is very real and is a representative of this initial existence of God.

The souls came into being, not by means of a functional definition. They did not come to fill a gap. The soul is rooted in the essence of Godliness. By Him knowing Himself, he knows the souls. And thus the souls are real...

This is why a Yid is the reality of the world. He holds up the world.

The souls are able to accept revelations of the inner essential lights, and not be nullified by them...

Everything lives from God's awareness. He is not shared. Each one has His full attention.

Think of a king. His presence is not functional. All the people in the nation and the king are one entity. They exist because of the king. In one instance they all get the presence of the king – all at the same time...

We don't appreciate who we are. We measure ourselves with an 'accomplishment' yardstick. This is the basis of our pains and troubles. We have an inner reality.

Why do we go back to the awareness? Because awareness is where the king is.

“Building a New World” - p:49

The souls of Israel and Torah are rooted in the essential, initial wisdom. This is the meaning of the medrash, 'the creation was for the 2 initial factors – Israel and Torah'.

So, that there should be a world is an external will (ratzon chitzoni), to fulfill an internal intent...

Think of a man going to work. He does it for some alterior motivation. What motivates him to go and seek that benefit. There is the negative: 'if I am hungry I have to eat', so it does not have an inner will, and it is due to the fact that we are finite entities. This is an external compelling motivation.

It is not representative of what a human being is...

And then there is the positive/inherent motivation. He goes to work to support his family – this is building a new world...

And 'above' there is no element of lacking. It is an infinite reality. There is no negative motivation. Could He ever be bored? He did not make the world 'cos he was lacking fulfillment! He created only on a positive basis.

This also means that since for Him there is no 'satisfying of lack', the positive impulse is present throughout the whole project... present in His creation.

And so too man's actions are not inadvertent.

The soul is a reality beyond purpose. They can accept and tolerate the deepest essential revelations and not be nullified by them...
