When He had finished His world, complete and whole, each thing in its place, the earth below and the heavens beyond,
. . . it was then that the Artist signed His holy name, a stillness within the busy painting, a vacuum in time, a pocket of silence within the polyphony, so that the Infinite Light could kiss the finite world, enter within and grant it life.
And He called that silence Shabbat.
Within each thing there is a Shabbat, a sense of wonder, of knowing that there is something greater, something it will never truly know, and a yearning to receive from there.
With that yearning, it receives life. Without it, nothing can survive.
For it is that emptiness that allows the Infinite to enter.
Shabbat is a special spiritual state.
After a group of people have corrected their qualities to feel an altruistic connection between them, their work is completed.
Then the 7th stage happens. G_d switches the network 'on'!
His light enters their heartfelt connections.
He animates the system.
The network between us is alive with G_d's presence flowing between them.
Their work was done through 6 stages or 'days'.
All 6 qualities were properly prepared to get the final finishing touch,
G-d's signature energy of love to flow through their network!
