  The Schechina spoke through Moshe

  And through Yosef Caro.

  And through chazal when they determined the final decision in the gemora by majority. "It is no longer in shomayim". And when beis din established rosh chodesh.  

   Abd today through the decision of a beis din even though it isn't popular.

    For a small little partial renovation one need only do a little demolition. Like just the kitchen. But, for a total house renovation one must demolish the whole house

  After Har Sinai there was a hatred to idolatry

  But....idolatry was one the 7 Noahide laws long before Har Sinai? 

  Hashem's seemingly nonanswer to Moshe why it became worse after Moshe began the redemption,  was basically to show that there will now be a deeper essence to essence relationship between Hashem and the yidden. Perhaps after that seeming suffering, pain and trauma,  like the increased burden of no straw, will be seen as goodness and love covered up with a superficial shell of seeming bad.

  "Motti v'lo motti"

  Motti must be rooted in infinity and approaches but then withdraws. 

  Infinity can approach but cannot remain with us, otherwise it's not infinity in a finite creation.  We can only have a hint of it, like a dream. 

  By definition infinity cannot be packaged up in a finite container,  in a finite mind, in a finite vort. 

  The more real and life like the dream the better we remember it later and can integrate.  

  Before renovation we must demolish. Like the sage who had to forget one Talmud before learning the  other.

  Elokim as imminent, Havaye as transcendent?

  Hashem started as an absolute unity,  then diversified abd differentiated.  Perhaps our jib is to unify the differentiated aspects of creation and bring it all back to its source.  All her vsrious descendsnts came together at the levsye of your grandmother. 

  "The world is built from love". To love is to give. One can't give without a recipient. He wanted to love and give. Therefore He first had to create recipients in order that someone receive the live He wanted to give. 

  Hashem gives the tzaddik (and others) tge ability to love,  i.e. to imitate Hashem 

  "Are you able to receive unconditional love?" Even if one is so capable,  first the  the other must give such unconditional love.
