Questions for today:
We now see how the Soul an actual part of the creator breathed into us, and that is what gets impacted through a sin. What about those of us living far from the standards during the time of the temple, how would a sin impact us?
Now we understand how a sin can impact the Soul’s relationship with the Creator. This is not because of how low it is through sin, but because of how high the Soul is.
The soul has been breathed directly into a person by the Creator. This is done with the formula of the four letters of creator's name.
The beginning and the very tip of the Creator’s name implies the creator's desire - and a sin goes against the creator's desire, cutting off the creative flow.
So now we also understand why after the destruction of the temple, even a capital offense won't affect the soul, because we're no longer at that level.
Look around, we see animals and trees, living perfectly without mitzvos.
We aren’t comparing a person that does a sin to an animal or vegetation, but we can learn the idea from them.
The Creator put G-dly energy into the world and we can choose.
We could use that G-dly energy and live directly off of the creator's desire. Or, we can take the energy of the Creator put into the world and use that Divine energy, specifically for negativity.
