  What do we do with all this information and awareness

  There are many seemingl contradictions,  and back and forths on what I'm hearing. Difficult to totally grasp all the meanings. How to get more straight on what you're saying? I'm feeling this is so huge and significant for a truly successful life for everyone, but having a hard time in my own head  understanding,  let alone to explain to  someone else.

  Question for Rabbi YY

  Land was created for man? If man was created like a mermaid (merman?) Then we could have lived under water. When land was created man had not yet been created and it was then unclear whether we would live on land or in water. Gashmius has a higher source than ruchnious? Next you'll tell me than Esav had a higher source than Yakov!

    Not sure exactly about whether Esav had a higher source than Yaakov, but pretty sure I've heard shiurs from Rabbi YY that Esav did have something in him that could have made him greater than yaakov

      Yes, Chassidus teaches that, in fact, Esav's  neshamah does come from a much, much higher source than that of Yaakov. I'll try to find the source for you.

  mondays

  I've often heard it be said, and sometimes feel it myself that monday is the worst day of the week for many people. lots of reasons are given, but now I'm wondering if it's because of the dichotomy that Gd created on monday

  Question for Rabbi YY

  Why blame gevurah for creating machlokis? It's only because it came second. Anything that would have come second would be the trigger for an opposition to whatever came first. If gevurah was first and chesed second would chesed be charged with creating machlokis?

  Weren't there many "splits"? Light was split from darkness. Land from water. Chava from Adam? Etc.

  Lately we seem to have experienced a lot of technical difficulties with the streaming and broadcasts. I seem to remember one occasion when the Rebbe had a public farbrengen and there were technical difficulties and the Rebbe said to say Vihi Noam and all the problems disappeared. Do you remember such a thing?

  We know that water evaporates and rises upwards ( The gemara in Taanis 9b mentions this as well:

  -תניא ר' אליעזר אומר כל העולם כולו ממימי אוקיינוס הוא שותה שנאמר ואד יעלה מן הארץ והשקה את כל פני האדמה

  and rashi explains

  ממימי אוקיינוס. כלומר ממים של מטה ולא ממים של מעלה שנאמר ואד יעלה מן הארץ ששתה בארץ ועלה)

  This represents the idea brought here that the waters below have a desire to rise above, however, this is only accomplished through bitul

  והכוונה ברקיע המבדיל בין מים עליונים למים תחתונים היא בכדי שעי"ז יתעלו מים התחתונים למעלה יותר מכמו שהיו קודם ירידתם. דע"י ירידתם למטה, נעשה בהם התשוקה והצמאון לעלות למעלה, מים תחתונים בוכין אנן בעינן למהוי קמי' מלכא24, ועי"ז הם מתעלים למעלה יותר מכמו שהיו קודם ירידתם, ולמעלה יותר גם ממים העליונים

  וישלומר, שהסיבה לזה שקרח טעה וחשב שהכוונה ברקיע המבדיל היא ההבדלה עצמה, היא, מפני שלא הי' בו ענין הביטול.

  When we practice this balance of chesed and gevurah then we can be zoche to the gishmey bracha (rain) which is the revelation of Giluy Elokus in this world.
