Questions for today:
How can a world be both singular and divided at the same time?
Imagine two people litigating a chicken to the rabbi.
To the litigators, the chicken is very important. One of them will walk out with a chicken, and the other one will walk out with egg on his face.
To the rabbi, it doesn't matter if it's a chicken or a cow, and frankly, he doesn't care who wins. He is focused that G-d's will be done, whichever way it works out.
Connect this scenario of two perspectives of the same situation, with what we said yesterday: For a king to be king, he needs to have subjects, separate from him, otherwise he's not King.
Now, regarding the divine attribute of kingship, in order for it to be revealed, right and left have to be distinct from each other. In addition, past, present and future have to be distinct. Without these distinctions, His kingship is not revealed.
Because it's important for his kingship to be revealed, our world, as described by Einstein, is divided by time and space.
However, at the same time, within the divine source, right, left, up and down, are irrelevant, and therefore they all co-exist.

Tanya book 2, Ch 7, Pt 2
Based on what we said yesterday, how a king "needs" subjects in order to be king, we understand how the divisions of time and place can be manifest.
For the Creator's kingship to be revealed, these are important, and therefore their differences can be discerned.
However to the higher levels of Gdliness, these distinctions are irrelevant. Therefore on those levels all is truly one
