Questions for today:
Perhaps understanding the supernal unity, where everything is one, is easier. How do we understand a oneness within a physical, divided, world?
We're learning about how G-d is one with the world on the supernal level, and on a lower level.
Yesterday, we used the analogy of people litigating in front of a rabbi. To the litigators, who wins and by how much, is very important. In contrast, the rabbi is looking at every intricate detail to ensure that G-d's will be done, but he doesn’t care which side wins.
This is analogous to the divine source. To G-d, past and present, up and down are irrelevant, and therefore they're all the same. This is the supernal level of unity.
For the lower level of unity, there is a created world, with a past and present, and an up and down which are important. The world exists, but there's still a unity, because they're created by, and humble to, a single Creator.

Today we learn about the "lower unity".
In the lower level of unity, the variables of the world are important, and real.
However, they are all united in the sense that they are created by, and humbled to, One Creator.
