048 Tanya Shvat 7 ~ m53 Shvat 14
Questions for today:
If the example used for our creation is speech, why do we measure ourselves by the unity from where speech comes within the head and psyche?
We spoke the last couple days about how our creation, of and by one Creator, unites all of us, and the fact that we were specified into our individual existence by speech means that we are still one.
However, when I speak, the words come out of me and they have a life of their own. Isn't it possible then, that when we were created, we were divided from each other?
Think of a donut.
Where was that donut before you thought of it? Did it “not exist”? Or, did it coexist with everything else in our subconscious mind?
When we say that G-d “speaks” us into existence, this is within the Creator's realm. A reality where there is no time or space that divide it.
There is no up or down, no inside or outside. When G-d ‘speaks’ us into existence, those words don't exit the Creator. They stay within the Creator, and we remain identified, but together with everything else in existence - singular and undivided.
Tanya book 1, ch21 pt 1
Our speech exits us, and separates.
G-d's speech has nowhere "out" to go. We remain, as in our source, singular and undivided.
