Questions for today:
While our minds may not be able to fully grasp Divine greatness, what exercise can we do to help appreciate the Creator’s greatness?
We are studying that the human mind can’t grasp the Creator.
Yesterday, we learned that wisdom is the pinnacle of physical existence.
Today, we learn that the Creator creates wisdom, not like a blueprint or an idea. Rather, He creates wisdom in the same manner that we would use our hands to make a physical object that is completely outside of ourselves.
When we create something by hand, the creation only contains a tiny drop of ourselves.
This drop is nothing compared to how it is when we speak, which is nothing compared to our thoughts, which is nothing compared to our emotions, which is nothing compared to our intellect.
When we think about the ratio of our creative, physical, action vs. our seminal intellect, we can begin to see an iota of the scope between the Creator and ‘the very beginning’ of the seminal possibility of physical existence.
Of course, the Creator is infinitely above even these seminal levels.

Tanya book 2, Ch 9, Pt 1
We are discussing how the human mind can't grasp the Creator.
We learned in the last chapter how wisdom is the beginning and the pinnacle of physical existence.
Today we learn that the Creator creates wisdom as a physical object.
When we observe the ratio between our wisdom and our physical action, we can begin to see a drop of the distance between the creator, and the beginning of the physical world.
- of course, the Creator is infinitely more levels removed, than that.
