Our understanding is not like His.

Understanding is a soul quality. It flows from the soul. there is nothing more real in our conscious life than mind/sechel.

Sechel is the moment where soul truths are translated into our parameters of time and space.

Chochmah/wisdom is allowing for entry into a place beyond time and space. This is the difference between watching from the outside through a window, contrasted with actually entering the room.

To recognize something as real you need to know it is a creation, and you relate to the Creator and thus you can relate continually.

“Mind The Gap” p105

“No-one understands what life is, although it is constantly experienced. It is the Godly presence in the world that brings life into the world. “

The Rebbe is describing the ‘curtain’. The separation between different worlds.

He uses ‘our understanding of Godliness’ as a metaphor for this. He explains that our understanding of Godliness is based on His actions - what He has done in creation. We give things a time and space orientation.

Truth is that God’s work is not place dependent. And if we try to rise above a ‘space’ orientation we will not really be successful. This is because for us ’space’ is a fundamental presence.

Our understanding is not like His, which is an understanding beyond the framework of ‘place’.

In the world of atzilus, place does not substantiate existence.

Your mind/sechel is not based on the physical level. The ability to understand is drawn from truth, not from our experience.

No-one understands what life is, although it is constantly experienced. It is the Godly presence in the world that brings life into the world.

The physical world [the body] is raised to a different level by means of the life that is present. Life keeps it fresh.

Life is not displaced by the physical level. There’s no clash. Life imbues the physical with vitality.

Life is the aspect of light.

We are looking at ‘higher and lower’ in the realm of Godliness… regarding sphirot, and regarding worlds…

There’s no clear path between the worlds of atzilut and briah. It is unchartered territory.

Since we live in a world of ‘time and space’, it also affects our perception of Godliness.

Even though Godliness is not limited to time and space.

And the greater the intellect the more it is able to relate to the light/truth in contrast to the form.

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.

From the wisdom of the Rebbe. Words by Tzvi Freeman

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.
