Questions for today:
There are so many levels above us, is it possible that not only is G-d ‘also’ interested in us, but actually G-d is ‘specifically’ interest only in us?
We've been discussing that we could create a place where the Creator is revealed, not despite our physical faculties, but uniquely because of them. Because of our ability to perform physical actions, we can transform ourselves and become homes for G-d.
Today, we discuss a fundamental aspect of this idea.
It would be counterintuitive for someone to invest billions of dollars to make back a few thousand. It wouldn't make sense for the Creator to create all of the spiritual worlds down to this world, so that we can become ‘spiritual’.
In order to create anything, even supernal spiritual worlds, G-d needs to mask the true Singular Infiniti of the Creator.
Is it possible for G-d to have 'descended' to create our physical world with the sole purpose of it becoming spiritual - which itself is a 'masking' of Divinity?
On the other hand, it does make sense for someone to invest a great amount into having a place to call home.
This physical world is unique, not because it has the lowest level of spirituality, but because it's different. It's unique in the sense that through our physical actions, fulfilling G-d's desire, we can create an 'unmasked' home for the Creator.
Tanya book 1, ch 36, Pt 1
It would not make sense for the creator to invest in creating our world if the goal was for us to become more spiritual- spirituality itself is a reduction of G-dliness!
Instead, the goal must be found in the uniqueness of this world, that we can create a home for the Creator by doing His mitzvos.
