    infinite finiteness vs finaite infiniteness

    Thank you Rav YY as always for bringing Basi Lagani to life - bringing me and us all back to the garden !

    was thinking a way of articulating the inyan of shiur (avodas hakoshesh concept) as "there is finite infiniteness and infinite finiteness!"

    before Tzitzum their was finite infiniteness in other words even the limited light was was experienced as in the context and part of infiniteness !

    after tzimtzum finiteness is experienced not only as cut off from the infinite light of hashem but as infinite finiteness meaning that our finite experiences seem to have no end (liek your bottomless pit ) example 

    it is mamash an inversion of "life" pre tzimutzum 

     

    the miracle is that we can fin our way "out of the pit" because really all along there was no tzimtzum in the maor !

    So when  G-d forbid someone gets  Cancer,for  example,  he should laugh because he should feel it is  pretty tzimtzum.

      Cynicism does not get us anywhere. You are hurting. Let's grieve together for your pain and our pain. But cynicism will not heal you or any of us. 

      I have been there. Done that. The rebbe felt the pain of the people and of each individual more than all of us put together. He did not make light of it. He would weep in public. But he also taught us the about the infinite light we have. 

      but we need to grieve for our looses. 

      So let me hold your hand and cry with you for your own innocence shattered. I am so so sorry.

      As we grieve and embrace our pain -- we can also begin to see other parts of us emerge. Including our indestructible essence. 

      No this does not explain suffering. It does not minimize suffering. But these cynical comments about all of these classess won't help heal anyone not even yourself. 

      Do you want to just dismiss the most healing energy in the universe and poke fun at it -- or do you want to help us all rediscover our souls ? 

      sending you much empathy and love and blessings.
