A king raises the people to a new level. He reveals to them values that they would not have come to on their own.

The lower lights are also united with the essence.

From their inception they have the intent of coming down into vessels.

Inside the infinite light there is a light that is projected for the world. This light has 10 aspects - 10 sphirot - for the purpose of illuminating the wold.

As the Zohar says, He is called wise - with all types of wisdom” and all the 10 sphirot are listed there and contained within Him.

The King provides what is beyond immediate need. He provides the sky. The air from Him you can breathe. Breathing from a box or a tube is torture. He provides by his malchus/kingship. When we get up do we see the world or the King of the world.

We are talking about how unique the light is… it comes from the heights and gets dressed into vessels/keilim that do not even appreciate what they are carrying.

The light can even be reduced to a presence of a tangible nature… where the life element is not sensed…

How is it possible for light to be contained in a vessel that is oblivious to its presence?

This takes place in the level of inner light [ohr pnimi]. It reaches down to the goal of being clothed in a vessel/keili.

Even at the highest level the infinite light projects entering into a context of measurement and limitation.

He looks to his largesse being received at lower and lower levels…

Since He has this intention, the light that comes forth, that represents infinity, is able to seek and relate personally to the lower levels…

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.
