Questions for today:
How is it that the Torah has within it the power for us to survive, in our physical definitions, while experiencing a connection and a revelation of the Infinite Creator?
This idea that we've been discussing, that us physical people can have a relationship with the Creator, is something that is borne out in our history.
Our history starts at Mount Sinai where G-d gives us the Torah.
The Torah is one with the Creator, and when that was revealed to us the Midrash says our souls left our body.
How did G-d bring our souls back into the body? The Medrash says G-d didn't take the Torah away from us, G-d gave us the “dew of the Torah” - G-d revealed to us the inner part of the Torah.
What does this mean? The Creator isn't ‘infinite’ - the creator created infinite, and isn't limited by it.
What happened was, the Creator revealed that inner, deeper, aspect. A level where the creator can actually choose to have a relationship with us, in our physical bodies.
As we observe this Torah day by day, the ultimate goal is the revelation of a Messianic era when G-d is going to take away all of the coverings and G-d is going to live in a reveals state with us in the physical world which G-d willing should happen today.
093 Tanya Adar 22 ~ m111 Adar II, 11
Tanya book 1, ch 36, Pt 2
This idea, of G-d being revealed in a physical person fulfilling mitzvos, is seen in the story of our history.
When G-d revealed (Gd's essence, ensconeced in) the Torah on mount Sinai, our souls left our bodies.
G-d brought us to life be revealing this deeper aspect of the Torah: that G-d can choose to dwell in the physical, as well.
Our lives in the physical world don’t only cause joy and light, it makes a difference?
