Questions for today:
How is it that our actions can impact the Divine? And what does that teach us about our potential to reconnect?
Today we expand on the concept of the unity of the soul with the Creator.
We point out that the four-letter name of the Creator which implies the formation of existence is parallel to the human experience.
The letter ‘yud’, which is tiny, implies the flash of wisdom which is the beginning of creation - and the dot on top of it, is the desire that precedes it.
Then you have the expansion and the descent of the letter 'hei', which implies the bina form of 'intellect'.
Then you have the shape and the number of the letter 'vov' which implies the six aspects of divine emotion.
And then you have the breeding technique, and the number, of the letter ‘hei’ which implies the five forms of phonetic speech.
This symbiosis between the human and the Creator teaches us how the human experience could cause a 'blemish' in the Divine.
However, we quote Elijah where he precedes all divine variability with the word 'ant', 'You'.
You the Creator are in anything. And if we could just access that through our repentance, we could supersede any blemish.
