Soul, Space, Time


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

The universe has a soul. All that exists in the soul exists in space and in time.

In the cosmic soul there is a mind, a consciousness from which all conscious life extends.

In space, there is the Land of Israel, a space from where all space is nurtured.

In time, there is Rosh Hashanah, a time from which all time is renewed.

Rosh Hashanah, meaning Head of the Year. Not just a starting point, but a head. For whatever will transpire in the coming year is first conceived in these two days.

Soul, Space, Time
Soul- if possible would you tell me or refer me to other articles the difference between soul and spirit- or in your Judaism they are the same.
Space- I read this daily dose late in the day because I went away the whole weekend to attend services related to Rosh Ha Shanah. We gathered early because the ministers themselves go to Israel during the High Holy Days. And also at sundown on Wednesday strong chance many of us can not participate.
Time- I absolutely use Scripture to explain to my friends regarding the feasts, especially Leviticus 23. I have certain understanding on my own. But my friends just get very confused between religious and civil calendar, can not comprehend why it is called by rabbis and people the head of the year. Why not Pesach or Passover?

Soul
It would seem you are way out in left field on this subject. You are told in Genesis that man is a living soul AND it also refers to the animal kingdom--only!

Soul without Time or Form
He is the only One continuous all encompassing Cosmic Soul
without time or form to which we all return when this journey
is completed. Everything else which we comprehend is temporary.

Yes, the consciousness of which we are speaking is G-d's consciousness.

Soul of the Universe
...from which all conscious life extends...
...does consciousness not extend from G-d, who is the creator and sustainer of everything? The universe is His creation too. From Israel, the whole world is nurtured. But space??? For me all creation (incl. Universe) and therefore space too - is nurtured by G-d..
Even Rosh Hashana is not fixed in a way that Hashem would not be able to change during the year, what He decides. If not, then why should we pray at all?
The stuff with the Universe sounds much more sophisticated,
but I am capable of the simplicity only, and I feel nearer to the truth/Emet/G-d.
Sorry.
