  • Summary

    • Hashem acting and illuminating to His creations – Those actions are His, though they are geared towards our reception.
    • His attributes don’t define His essence – for He is beyond comprehension. His actions are a chosen expression to relate to His creations.
    • Reality in its present form is a muted form of the Perfection and G-dliness that He intends to reveal. It’s like a shadow on the wall – a revelation/expression of the real item, but in limited form.
    • L’asid lavo Hashem will reveal the perfection and G-dliness inherent in reality itself (the shadow).
    • In the interim, Hashem is animating, infusing, and guiding reality with a higher level of G-dliness, so that all arrives at the place of tikkun it needs to arrive at.
    • Part of this guidance includes the idea that evil itself, evil human choices included lead to the ultimate good.
    • Two aspects to tzimtzum: According to the briah, and allowing us room to perfect ourselves.
    • To every action of history there are two elements: One revealed and one hidden. The revealed element relates to the realm of free will, where wars are instigated on the whims of evil men. The second element relates to Hashem’s guiding the world to its perfection. Hashem, in His infinite wisdom moves matters about in elaborate and wondrous ways, so that each action taken by human beings, and each “natural consequence” taken by humans have the miraculous effect of bringing the world one step closer to perfection.
    • The time of Mashiach/world-to-come will reveal to us how each step of history let to the most incredible goodness.
    • Let’s recall the purpose of the pursuit of Daas Tveno is V’hasehvosa el levovecha: The connection of all to one unified reality is the system of kabbalah and appreciating it gives us a new and deeper understanding of emuna in Hashem. However, the ultimate goal of v’hashevosa el levovecha is to connect emuna to our minds and hearts on a day-to-day basis. The work of da’as tevunos allows us to connect with the inner essence — Hashgacha – leading everything to a state of tikkun. To understand that reality and history are direct expressions of Divinity.
