Questions for today:
We now see how the Soul is entirely distinct from all of creation. How does this impact what can get between us and the Creator, and what can remove that block?
In this book about our return to the Creator, we're learning about what could impact our relationship with the Creator, and what could repair it.
Now that we understand that the human soul is 'breathed' into the human being, unlike the rest of the universe that's 'spoken' into existence, we could understand what could get in the way.
Because when we speak, those words could be heard behind closed doors. But when we breathe, a piece of paper can get in the way.
Our soul is like a rope - one with the Creator. What could sever this rope or get in the way?
Nothing. The Creator is everywhere.
Nothing can get in the way, except for a sin.
This is not because a sin is so strong or so big, rather, it’s based on the model of existence.
With creation emanating from the four letters of the Creator's name, the dot at the very top of the letter yud represents the creator's desire - and a sin goes against the Creator's desire, so it negates the whole origin of our existence!
However, obviously it's only negating it from our perspective. From the Creator's perspective, nothing gets in the way.
