Infinite Light

Because light is infinite, the Light of what we do here affects change to the universe in its entirety.




Dark darkens, it is as a body.

Light is infinite, it is as the soul. It knows no physical boundary.

At death, the body and soul separate. In life, the body is as a receptacle for Light.

How can this be that an infinite soul resides in a finite body? It is because Hashemites are as a dot in a palace.

By that I mean the dot is as wisdom, and the palace is as understanding.

It takes wisdom, which is craftiness, a variable dot of kindling to rise above to start building a palace. It takes understanding to know the materials and logistics necessary to construct a house for a king.

Yet, a king is greater than a dot. In fact, any being with a soul is greater than a dot. Doesn’t a king have people? Yes, he must. Doesn’t a king have an area of dominion? Yes, he must. Every human has a portion of dominion over creation (Genesis 1:26). Absolutely, a king is not confined to his palace. That infinite image of Gd is what we have been created in. It is an image that knows no bounds.

In honor of Rabbi Shammai who on Chanukah snuffed candles until the last day of the holiday: If Light traveled a distance; then it would have to travel infinitely just to get half the way. To get halfway, Light must travel a quarter of the way and yet light would have to travel infinitely to get a half of a quarter of the way. In this way, we see that no matter how far light travels, it travels infinitely. Even if Light travels the extra mile, it travels infinitely past the halfway mark, and so on.

So if light travels infinitely, why is there such a thing as the speed of light? It is because purer light travels faster through media of lesser densities. For example, light traveling through the air will travel faster than light travels through water. However, Hashem’s pure Light is infinite. There is no place anywhere that is completely devoid of Hashem. Even minerals have a portion of the light of Hashem, as we know most of what makes up matter is empty space.

Plants Can Do That? On Talmud Shabbat 30b

The Prophets predicted that the in the era of Mashiach plants would sprout amazing things like clothes (30b verse 39).  This is how: use DNA and logistics.

The idea is to manipulate plants; for example, by altering DNA codes in an orderly way for what we need.  DNA is something that both plants and animals have in common, and that if given the proper molecular machinery can make almost anything relative to life.  This part of the idea may include breeding plants for specific traits.

Could we develop plants that make shirts, as is suggested in Shabbat 30b vs. 39? – Absolutely, and especially in a controlled environment.  The key would be to manipulate select plants spatially in their growth, such as the logistics of size and placement, and then also genetically alter their flower designs to get the right stuff.  The easiest way to start would be with easier weaves, and then progress to smaller and tighter fit weaves.  For example, this strategy was also used in the progression of hard drive development in the case of computers.  Computers hard drives with less information capacity came first before smaller and smaller hardware with more information capacity.  And remember, the ancestors of Chihuahuas are the same as the ancestors of pit bulls.

Matters of learning'-what is that? — As R. Gamaliel sat and lectured, Woman is destined to bear every day, for it is said, the woman conceived and beareth simultaneously.³⁴  But a certain disciple scoffed at him, quoting, 'there is no new thing under the sun.'³⁵  Come, and I will show you its equal in this world,³⁶  be replied. He went forth and showed him a fowl. On another occasion R. Gamaliel sat and lectured, Trees are destined to yield fruit every day, for it is said, and it shall bring forth boughs and bear fruit:³⁷  just as the boughs [exist] every day, so shall there be fruit every day. But a certain disciple scoffed at him, saying, but it is written, 'there is no new thing under the sun!' Come, and I will show you its equal in this world, replied he. He went forth and showed him the caper bush.³⁸  On another occasion R. Gamaliel sat and expounded, Palestine is destined to bring forth cakes and wool robes, for it is said, There shall be an handful of corn in the land.³⁹  But a certain disciple scoffed at him, quoting, 'there is no new thing under the sun!' 'Come, and I will show you their equal in this world,' replied he. He went forth and showed him morels and truffles;⁴⁰  and for silk robes [he showed him] the bark of a young palm-shoot.⁴¹
