31. World Defined

G-d is hidden within each one of us and all things. When people stop looking outside themselves for some kind of proof and justification the universe is revealed.

When we look, we see a world. When we think, we think a world. What then when pause? The definition, although poetic, defines a limited G-d. Life is a mystery beyond poetry, beyond creation, beyond definition. Our presumptions are folly. By definition even the idea of a G-d is limiting. Better to consider definitions as plays of sounds and light, better to dance with them. All measurement is a lie.

I wonder about the word hidden? What is the hebrew word that would be used to explain the meaning of the word hidden? And are there multiple meanings of that word. For ex hidden does not mean absent, or embedded in? Hidden means an entity of all of it's own behind something else, like hiding. I think of the world being intertwined with the soul, the soul in the physical and apart of it, mixed in. But maybe there is Hashem of His own that is hidden away far from the earth and beyond the universe like an intelligent light and energy source that understands some parts of our communication from us and He made usto have our free will to be in His image, like but not equal to. Hashem is only love but with distance created discipline. How far away do we want the source of love? I believe it is up to us to determine the distance and then we have to make up for the eternal love missing here ourselves. How do we make up for the distance and bring Him closer? Do not over love our neighbor?

I wonder ... is G-d hidden, or is He fully visible in the form that we see as the physical world. If we believe he is hidden, then we will not see Him. If we believe He is fully present in this physical world, then we will see Him everywhere.

With all due respect Rabbi, the order of these two sentences should be reversed to:

"Where you see a world,
there G-d is revealed."

For there is no place where G-d cannot be felt, heard, or seen; we just have come out of our dark, sound-proof room to experience Him.

In Auschwitz surely most people found, that God was hidden.
And what kind of world was to be seen???

It surely was meant in a different way.
