Tzevakos
Is the idea that from perspective of beriyah i have separate existence and yet at same time have an awareness of the "devar Hashem" enclothed in me - so its not teh level of onensess that exists in atziluts which about being a channel for the divine.
In beriyah there is an I -You relationship but the I perceives that it is ultimately one with Hashem
a bissel confused any thoughts?

Seems G-d set us up to be that way. Only to have our work get back to the place HE wants us to get to. So seems it’s a process and as you say not easy, but what HE wants for us.

There's no
there is no way we can live without names. GD wanted us to talk, to communicate. The awareness of entering into a relationship or naming something without judgment is maybe another to achieve what you are talking about.

Words and names necessary in a world with others to communicate with
Before Creation Hashem Himself had no names for Himself, no names for anything, no words. Perhaps just thoughts. Did such thoughts have words?
And after we are created and born, we need words and names and language to communicate with others. By definition a name or word restricts the full range of the item so named.

Not only is a name required to direct ANGER
It is also required to express Love or any other positive emotion.

A name is used post-language.
If a person grew up.alone on an island (with plenty of food to eat) he would have no language, no names for anything. He himself would have no name even to refer to himself.
Before Creation Hashem didn't utter any words, didn't give anything a name.
Only with the 10 utterances of Creation in Beraishis did Hashem FIRST create words and names for His creation. "Yehi Ohr" not only was the way Hashem created light but also was the source of the NAME for light.

Chana introduced the name of Hashem "Tzivo'os"?
How do we know this? Yes, the term is not found in Chumash until Chana coins it later in history as enshrined in Nach.
But......not every word uttered by every person in Chumash was dictated by Hashem to Moshe as a stenographer. We don't know every word Hashem uttered to Moshe, the Avos or anyone else in Chumash, nor do we know every word uttered by Moshe, the Avos, or anyone else in Chumash.
The statement that Chana coined the name "Tzvo'os" is an assumption that it was not used before. We only know that it was not recorded in Chumash, not that it wasn't used before.

If anything the name "Tzivo'os" is from a lower source than all names of Hashem found in Chumash.
The names in Chumash were uttered by Hashem Himself, names for himself (and every other word in Chumash), that He dictated to Moshe to write down. Those names and all words in Chumash came directly from Hashem himself.
This is not the case by words and names in Nach. Words in Nach, including "Tzivo'os" came as prophecy via and through the Neviim, and not directly from Hashem.

Maamorim of the Rebbeim were memorized and written down by the chozrim
Question: Why didn't the Rebbeim just write out the maamer (or sicha) before a Shabbos or yom tov so that it would be just as they each desired, and not dependent on the memory of chozrim?
