Eretz yisroel has hills and Valleys, outcroppings and chasms of rock, all this in the human heart is relationships with the Creator. How this ties in with tohu and tikun and how depths ultimately supersedes and surpasses greatness.

What Happens if We Journey into the Mystical Realms on Our Own?

The Rabbis did not create enactments simply to protect the Torah, rather they dug deeper into the divine Torah itself to provide the extra power to preserve the Torah in dark times. He may not be revealed there but He&#39;s more there than in the &#39;Wine&quot; of Torah.

Why Did the Rabbis Make So Many Decrees?

When one feels pain from the lack of G-dly revelation in Galus even when seemingly he personally lacks nothing physically or spiritually, he accesses the essence of his soul even more than one who languishes in the most difficult of circumstances of mesiras nefesh. 
Q: But how can one cultivate such a desire to have redemption from Galus? 
A: He must "viyikchu ailecha", partner in the work of the Rebbe, and this raises his sensitivity towards the need for G-dliness to be revealed in the world.
