Israel is God’s presence in the world. Israel is, and points to the infinite light.

Arousal of the heart - the plain desire is rooted here.

The world does not solicit the existence of man, and does not understand him.

Man does things in a planned and preconceived way. He is not reactive. His existence is due to a plan and an intention.

A witness reveals something unknown.

In this context the tzion [witness or marker] attests to the underlying infinity.

The mitzvoth [God’s commandments] are the markers - the witnesses. They are the supreme will - they reveal the infinite light [ohr ein sof].

There is a super reality that is the basis of all existence. This is the Creator’s reality. And this is what gives us a sense of ‘this is something very real’. This sense if from essence, not from the world.

This sense is not discovered. It is known by virtue of divine command.

Mitzvoth are called testimonials. They bear witness to Him.

The kav/line affects a limit in the lights. And each sphirah is a reality in its representation of the essence.

The 10 hidden sphirot are drawn into a line/kav. And there they acquire a full definition. And become able to be dressed into vessels and become distinct realities, whereby worlds can come into existence.

The mitzvoth bear testimony to something that is beyond worlds - to the hidden source. From a worldly sense a mitzvah may not make sense. A mitzvah is not explicable in worldly terms - they attest to a higher reality - but don’t reveal it…

The mitzvoth and the souls of Israel are call ‘zion’ - they are an indicator for the infinity that is above world.

“Action is needed. But the world is is not a false presence. It is a divine creation. The world is maintained in existence moment to moment exclusively by His will and command. “

A vessel/keil is something built from material in the world itself.

The light if from above - it is Godly. The light unifies with the vessel.

In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth. the heaven is beyond definition but it is divine. Man sees the earth as a divine presentation with the inclusion of definition.

There is the Godly light, called ohr ein sof… it is infinite and without structure.

Just like your mind/brain remains the inspiration for the entire body… so to the world is inspired by Him.

Yet, the brain defines a destination, and only arrives there, not by wishing it so, but by other means…

Ultimately as per the Baal Shem Tov, we ‘where our thoughts are’. But since we are in the world for ‘all our parts’ to move, action is required beyond the realm of thought.

And the brain too takes action, deciding ‘how to get there’.

And this is ‘world’. Action is needed. But the world is is not a false presence. It is a divine creation.

The world is maintained in existence moment to moment exclusively by His will and command.

The kav/line identifies worlds - lights in vessels…

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.
