Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

1. Down to Earth

When it all began, Heaven was here on Earth.

The physical plane, more than any of the higher spiritual worlds, was the place where the Divine Presence yearned to be.

But Man, step by step, banished the Divine Presence from its home, with a tree of knowledge, with a man who murdered his brother, with all those things that human beings do...

Since Man chased it away, only Man can bring it back. And this began with Abraham, who proclaimed Oneness for all the world.

And it ends with us. Our generation will bring Heaven back down to Earth.

Heaven on earth
This is the true meaning of the Star of David. The triangle pointing down joins the triangle pointing up and the two fuse.

The involution of the Spirit (triangle of Sprit ruach elokim pointing down to dwell in the form. and the evolution of the form, to join with Spirit, thus realizing G-d within us. SELF realization. G-d in Man and Man in G-d.

What a journey.

Amazing Dimension!
"But Man, step by step, banished the Divine Presence from its home, with a tree of knowledge, with a man who murdered his brother, with all those things that human beings do..."

This is an amazing dimension to view from a different perspective. I also have conviction that our generation will bring Heaven back down to Earth. Amen. Thanks!

Regards.

God brings heaven, not man
Is Abraham greater than God; or did not God call Abraham? Man drove heaven away; a gracious God brings heaven down.

Bringing heaven down to earth
The last line, "Our generation will bring heaven down to earth" is a prayer we all hope and pray for that. Will it happen ?
