Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

« Previous

Nothingness is the medium through which all energy moves,
from above to below and from below to above.

Below, in man, a sense of nothingness that transcends ego.
Above, a Nothingness that transcends all boundaries and planes.

The nothingness below fuses with the Nothingness above,
locking heaven and earth in an intimate embrace.
So that G‑d is found amongst the truly humble.

Nothingness

The understanding of this comment might be helped by a bit of knowledge of Quantum Physics. It reduces the "philosophical" to a real quantified algebraic explanation. (Although one does not "need" the algebra.)

Nothingness is described in Quantum Physics (also known as the Void, or Ein Sof) as containing more energy in a small "amount" than all of the energy that is known to us from the suns, moons, etc in the entire universe...Hard to put your arms around this?

I hypothesise that the light created on day 1 is that source of energy which we might learn to harness with more information and expansion of our perception and ability and desire to probe additional dimensions.

nothing

I have different approach to the concept of nothing.

Here it is:

Death Is Not Nothing

There is no nothing
for nothing means nothing
and nothing can only come from nothing

But death is not nothing
It clearly is something -
the end of physical life.

Fear death if you must
as something to fear.
But don't equate it with nothing.

And let me assure you
to help you feel better,
there's nothing to fear from nothing.

Nothingness does not exist

G-d is the medium through which all energy moves. He fills the heavens above, the Earth below, and us too! From His point of view, He is one, and all is one with Him. For our point of view due to our material garments covering His spirit, we at times feel alone...like nothing is out there. In reality, there is no inside or outside, and upon this realization two becomes one, and what appears as nothingness, becomes everything.

Nothingness

I understand human nothingness.
But a b o v e , is there nothingness???
For me, how I can grasp it, everything is filled with G-d. He transcends all boundaries and planes.. That we see/feel/sense nothing, does not mean that there i s nothing. In my imagination everything is filled with H i m .
And only somebody/something can embrace.
What do I understand wrong?
