Malchus creates oneness? I thought Malchus creates Yeshus?

  Malchus itsels is bitul, but malchus is what allows for a "zoles," for otherness.

There are 2 concepts where the middle is
Forbidden.

One, It was said that a real rebbe must be either completely true and real OR he is a thief.

Second: the Rambam says that in every character trait one should be in the middle and not at either extreme EXCEPT anger.

So anger and a rebbe are the extremes and not the middle.

What is the connection between the reality of the extreme of avoiding anger and the reality of being a true rebbe?

"We start off in the womb without ego"
YET, We see that both Yakov and Esav were "co-tenants" in the womb!

"Ego loves words"; bittul loves silence
YET, Only with words did Hashem create the world. Had He remained wordless, there would be no creation.

So, is creation especially by words, an aspect of ego by Hashem? Dis Hashem ease himself out??

Ma'an and na'ad; male and female
Etc., are Polar opposites that unite. Ditto electricity, magnetism, rotzo and shut, etc.

Yet all these types of bifurcations originate in the Oneness of Hashem. This itself is a wonder..
