RDK - tefilla - R'Yehoshua HaLevi

Introduction:
Moshe
Ish elokim
Divine human being
Introduced as in the 'flesh' - 'certainly'
Relationship b'n flesh and selfhood
Flesh is needed to fully participate in the temple service
Vegetarian age - body?
Transcendence
Pride of incorporation of body with Torah
Primitive sacrifice of animals
We are now not necessarily at the highest development
Power of divine to relate to the basar, rather than relating to the soul

Ahavat Olam

Looking at body of world, life force, origin
Ya'akov touching the place
Other Avot oriented to essence, not manifest or output
Female to embodiment and realisation
Male essence concept
They declare their identity
Aspect of 'Ma' has 2 meanings

1. They way it is - not sensing. Abstract. Whatness not suchness. Template for physical formation.
e.g. hardness and resistance. modality for finding difference b'n bodies
There are 10 differences - sphirot - b'n all the elements, colours, sounds, tones, motion, rhythm, energy.
Goes back to chochma and then atzeilut
Things are in revolution
Humanity constantly shifts paradigm, e.g. Analog to digital, discovery of 'genes'
Chochma and nachmu ma, are those who hold the abstracted format. Not the world.
Moshe and Aharon are introducing something new.
This is looking to essence - not the world.
Avot melachot are physical
Moshe & Aharon are divested of reality
'Ein kavod ela Torah' nothing to honour except Torah
i.e. No origin for kavod without Torah
Honour is part of the essence and embedded meaning.
Given significance by manifestation and teaching.
Nothing here without purpose and significance - R'Nachman.
Those who are attached to chochma will assign kavod, honour.
