RDK - Aharon HaLevi

Shift into ahava raba
Perek chaf-tet
Tefilla of moshe is ko'ach ma
2 bechinot of chochma
Chochma that is understanding common principles.
Lower end of transition point from specification to creation
Template for created and manifest
Torah seder haolam
Bereshit bara... was with wisdom
Creation that played itself out
Wisdom that is present in all of creation
Everything is governed by rules and consistency
'Intelligent Design' theory
Gd set it in motion
Could not be any other way
Chochma is bound to Gd without any difference
He and wisdom are one.
Wisdom and pre-existing conditions are the same
Creation is a contact with Gd for those who want to know him
Rambam says in Moreh Nevuhim that if there was proof of eternal matter then Gd did not have to pre-exist
Ramban undermines, that matter did not have to pre-exist
Da'at elokim is knowing that Gd pre-existed and is without boundary or rules
The world we live in is Gd
There is no transcendence of this world and creation, because this is part of Gd.
It is this way because it's what he wants
Tyena should be requests
Praying is from Torah, because it is part of this world.
It is what Gd wants
This is an age of yearning for a relationship with Gd
Everyone has issues but it is all a manifestation of deeper yearning
We are in Elef HaShishi
Technology is a part of the current tide of our generation
The wisdom access point of Torah that derive from reality are an intimacy of coming closer to Gd
Ze'er Anpin is the divine order, expression
Chochma galuya is the ability of the recipient to understand the divine order, this is Ze'er Anpin. It is the means.
Chochma atzilut is hidden expression
Bereishit informs you there are 2 forms of reishit... Bet (2) reishit

Chochma can only answer what, not why.
Physics will never find why.
