Daily Tanya Monday 21st Sivan Shaar Hayichud Viemuna Chapter 7 Part 3: G-d’s Malchut and Its Connection to Space and Time

Post Views: 140

1.      The Creation of Space and Time

  • Space and time are brought into existence through G-d’s attribute of malchut and the Name of Adnut, sustaining their existence from nothingness.

2.      Unity of Malchut with G-d’s Essence

  • Malchut is united with G-d’s Essence, causing space and time, created through malchut, to be nullified in relation to His Essence, similar to sunlight within the sun.

3.      The Role of Divine Names

  • The Name of Adnut reveals G-d’s presence within space and time, while the Name Havayah reflects His transcendence over them, signifying “He was, is, and will be” simultaneously.

4.      Lower-Level Unity (Yichuda Tataah)

  • This unity intertwines the Divine Name Havayah within the Name of Adnut, concealing G-d’s infinite light while allowing space and time to exist as perceived realities.

5.      Permeation of the Infinite Light

  • G-d’s Essence, termed the Infinite One (Ein Sof), fills the entirety of space and time equally, encompassing both the heavens and the earth, which remain nullified within the Ein Sof-light.

6.      The Function of Tzimtzum

  • Through tzimtzum and concealment in malchut, G-d hides the Ein Sof-light, enabling the dimensions of space and time to exist rather than being entirely nullified.
