Genesis Intelligence & Renewal
In the story of Genesis and Creation, the trees, fish, plants, fruits, lions, bears etc. were created complete, alive with a body and a soul. Only the human being was created in two stages. First G-d formed from the earth a body. Only later did G-d blow into his nostrils a breath of life. A soul, which is a part of G-d Himself.
In Torah Or - Genesis 3- The Alter Rebbe explains, since the body of the human being was originally created alone without a soul, it is therefore spiritually the lowest body. But the human being has the unique gift and ability to elevate all of creation to it’s purpose of existence.
You are the one who G-d empowered with the ability to make the world a beautiful garden for our loving Father in Heaven. The body is like a leaver which lifts heavy objects from the bottom and the top is elevated automatically.
Your good deeds send a “wireless signal” of Divine energy. You are elevating the part of the world which is assigned to you.
The world has been waiting for you for more then 5000 years. Unleash your power. Maximize your potential. Every Mitzvah you do lifts us all higher. The world is healed, refined and elevated because of you!
Thanks for the lift!
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) The Torah begins with the word Breishis. We can divide the word into two which means, “two firsts”. Torah and the Jewish people. All of Creation is for the Jew. Celebrate your own Jewishness and celebrate every Jew you meet. Remember that every Jew is the reason for all of Creation. Treat every Jew as G-d wants.
2) The builder uses tools. The artist uses paint and canvas. The musician uses instruments. G-d first created a tool kit with ten Divine energies. The highest level is wisdom, the “father” of all intelligence and emotions. Yet even “wisdom” is a finite tool and has it’s limitations. But you as a human being can elevate all of creation to be in unity and harmony with G-d. You have the power to reveal the Moshiach spark within all of existence.
3) Life is a gift and time is irreplaceable. G-d created the world in six days. Each day has it’s own purpose and things to accomplish. Shabbos we rise above the pressures of work and connect to our higher source. Shabbos empowers you with dignity and inner beauty. You enjoy the true priorities in life, spending time with family, G-d and your soul. Regardless of any mistakes of the past week, Shabbos you always have a new beginning. A beautiful renewed you.
