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.

Three Favorite Ways I Think of Gd in Earthly Terms.

Granted, He Is Greater and Even Beyond These Things, but This Is a Start.

1. Mentally invoking the vastness of outer space, such as through viewing images recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope

2. Thinking of the sun’s energy and/or the energy that may be unleashed via Higgs Boson bombs

3. Realizing that the universe is continually created from nothing such that we are completely dependent on Him for provision at every instant

When Hashem Gave His First Breath to the Cosmos

The cosmos became important when Gd's imparted His first breath to it. In the same way, a baby's first breath is considered what makes that baby a soulful being. This implies that Gd in some way grew up, and that is correct. Gd doesn’t know everything, and as time passes He learns more about the creation He authored.  In our lives, Gd gets to know us, such that we may even seem predictable. Gd's breath to the universe is the beginning of the soulful journey of the cosmos. Before the event of breath, a baby is not to be judged. Likewise, before the breath of Hashem the universe was without distinction.

3rd Criticism of Intelligent Design: It is not obvious that Gd is involved in creating us from nothing.

Yah is a spark of divine wisdom that creates the idea of the universe incomplete as if the universe is an idea in the mind of Gd, as we humans may create ideas without bounded form in our mind. For instance, the mathematical concept of infinity was created by a human. Elokim is as the vessel that is the body for the creativity, housing the divine image, making it conform to the rules of the universe.

An idea is as pure electricity. It is a bolt of lightning within the mind. It's body is exceedingly light in weight despite the power of the bolt. It has virtually no mass, and is almost completely Yah. An example of these bolts of lightning in our mind is that for example, Gd has given each of his holy ones an image of the Temple in Jerusalem.  We see this image in our minds eye because it has been given to us by Hashem.

Conversely, for every heavenly idea, and for every heavenly idea implemented there is a converse sefirot that would be ungodly ideas in the mind of Gd, and unGodly ideas, such as ideas of perhaps new ways to package pornography. These horrible ideas are also in the mind of Gd though these people are sinners. They must atone for their sins. Yet, Gd is tolerant of horrible ideas, ideas which are the converse of love in the heavenly spirit.

So, we see the tolerance of Gd negating Hashem's good and upright ways.  We wish he could speak to us before it is too late, or before we are to old.  Yet, so many of us have bought the ideas of false gods, especially in these times, the Christian gods (God the Son, God The Father, and God the Holy Spirit), as Jesus was certainly not Gd, and was a good teacher at best, but was most likely the anti-christ.

We wonder why can't Gd save all of us, and why can't we all go to heaven?  Wouldn't a loving G-d want that for us?  Yet, there is no escape from Hashem.  We can not escape him even in the grave, and this is because Gd must bring us to our lowest low before we are ready to accept His divine plan, which is the complete opposite as his plan for tolerance of sin.  The aim is that through presenting us with His maze, the universe, that we will all come to worship him and do good for the sake of Hashem, fearing him reverently.
