047b Tanya Shvat 6b ~ m52 Shvat 13
Questions for today:
I see myself completely distinct from you, but how far apart are we? What value do my distinctive element have when viewed within their source?
Yesterday we learned that our Soul has an innate connection to the Creator.
We realized that that's why people, who may not have lived a religious life, would still rather give up their life than to disconnect from the Creator or Judaism.
Yesterday we learned that since the creator is constantly bringing the world into existence, that means every part of the world represents an opportunity to either connect, or disconnect, from the Creator.
Today we are going to learn the same things from a different angle.
Let's look at all of the variability of the world like we learn, that it represents G-d’s spoken word.
When we say words, those different words don't actually represent meaningful fractions of our thoughts.
Going higher, those thoughts aren't little parts, or fractions of. the emotions that they come from.
The emotions also don’t represent actual fractions of the intellectual connection they come from, and the Intellectual connections are not fractions, or parts, of our soul.
Above each level, in their source, they are truly one.
So if we look at all the divided parts of the world and we open our eyes, will realize it's really, truly, one.
Tanya book 1, ch20 pt 3
Our oneness is apparent not just in the humility to the Creator’s constantly bringing us into existence, but even analyzing the process of our formation, we see the divisions don’t truly separate us.
