There is a difference between souls and angels. Angels are rooted in the spiritual union of chochmah and binah. This is external and means that the element of essence and inner reality (etzem and pnimiut) is not drawn down.

Think of chochmah and binah. Chochmah is like sight – conception by seeing – a replication of the oneg/delight. Binah by contrast already relates to the content and the composition.

So binah seems to be in a different realm, since it relates to the identifiable entities. But we are able to identify the composites, because we have the whole. Not the other way around. Binah is completely illuminated by chochmah...!

So chochmah enables the binah. Yet it is still external mentorship (hashpah chitzoniut) that it is given to binah. Binah still does not see reality the way chochmah does...

it is known that all of creation is from chochmah and binah, as the verse says, 'You made them all with chochmah (wisdom)' and the Zohar says it was all in chochmah and 'You made them be, as separate entities in binah...

Zivugim/unifications have the power to conceive and give birth... we are talking of two separate entities (in the level of 'dry land' things are independent and distinct).

When there is a joining of 2 separate entities that are independent, there has to be a recognition of something infinitely superior to both of them – they both recognize the superior truth. And this truth flows through into their union and creates a new entity!

Contrast standing outside and looking into a room vs being inside the room. When you are outside you see and discover all the details. When you are inside, then you view everything from a completely different viewpoint. There is no discovery, since you have everything, now there is just the identification of the elements.

When you enter a home, it is not the walls, tables and chairs that matter. It is the host. The domain - that is key - you are in your friend's home, and this means he is present everywhere, and this is what brings out all the other details.

This is what affectuates the union of independent entities. Being in His domain. They are His creatures and their focus is on fulfilling the mission that He gave them.

The class started with a question from Akiva, “what was the meanining, from yesterday's farbrengen, that we have been placed by God into the world?”

The decrees of wisdom (gozer chochmato) is the way that He is present in the world.

It is a decree, and not a flow. Water flows to the lower level. A king rules by statements. He makes a decree and his subjects follow through. The reality is expressed in his statements.

The revelation of the essence of mochin/mind, is the demonstration of a unstoppable spirit that is superior to the physical.

We have learned that the principle of zivugim/union was not mentioned in the level of igulim. In igulim there are not real distinct entities... and thus the 'essence' element cannot be tolerated. And if there was a revelation of essential light then any existence would be completely nullified.

But in the world of yashar/straight/dry land, the entities are real entities, and are thus able to receive the element of essence and not lose their presence...

Thus zivugim/union is only presence in that level of yashar.

In the world of iggulim/circles/ocean, the entities do not sense a higher level. They are completely surrounded by their source. This is in contrast to yashar, where the entity is connected by a line. There is recognition of 'where it comes from'.

There is a sense of 'hey, as small as I am, yet there is greatness!'

How is it possible for one to recognize 'there is One, for whom there is no beginning' and not be overwhelmed? This is because you have been given a presence. A presence that you cannot explain. So you can say, there is a greater presence, a Source...

Your obedience of the king's command does not nullify your existence. It substantiates your existence.

Our recognition of the Godly truth is a true recognition. It is not out of fear or necessity. It is the truth. You may be enticed to pursue things of this world, but at the back of your mind is the directive, 'hey, there is a truth!'

The Rebbe loved baal tshuvahs. They have seen, tasted and experienced the world and evil. But then they find a deeper truth, and they bear witness to that, and turn around. This is due to finding an inner truth. This is straight/yashar. A real presence, recognizing Higher Presence...
