Setting our intention
with this deeper awareness of HA ACHDUT HAAMITIT
His Absolute Oneness
On Chanukah
To SIT with the lights of the Menorah
With this truth
While looking at the candles
Reflect upon a
More sincere and truthful connection to my being

Hashem’s 3 Middos of essence are:
He is neither plural / Lo mitrabe
Nor non existent / lo ne’edar
Nor created / lo mchudash
We can only grasp the meaning of the
Opposites of these 3 kiddos

From the true essence of His glory
The essence of the Chanukah is plurality
It has oil and wick and a flame
The opposite midda of Eternal
Contemplating the plurality of the flame
In this existence there’s Hashem
Who is not plural
Contemplate the plurality within me
I have a body and a soul
That seems separate sometimes
I am not eternal
I was created
My essence is plural.
Yet I am made in His image tzelem Elokim
You are eternal and you have created me
The closer I become to that consciousness
I Become Divine
How do I become divine?
Through a Birur process
A self reflective process of my relationship with
My true essence
Dveikus with that One-ness within me
I refine myself
By choosing the Elokus (G-dliness) from my Anochius (ego)
With each ratzo v shov
I become closer to the tzelem Elokim
Even though I am created with a body and a soul
What rules the other?
Does the body rule the soul
Or the soul rule the body?
I become MORE DIVINE
When I distance myself from the conflict
Of body and soul alignment
When I’m more of a soul than a body
The more I become Shleimus / whole
The more I become achdus haamitit
And we become one
In a triggered moment
Im not going to fall into the plurality of myself
I am instead going to Connect to the oneness in this moment
With Ratzo vshov
I am created with plurality
But I am doing the avoda
Of which I was created for
to rise above it
As I approach each challenge
With a playful curiosity
Seeing the thought
And popping the bubble
I don’t need to subject myself to the flighting plurality
When my days is in exile
I am kept from internalizing this
I accept my reality of multiplicity
And my design to be tzelem Elokim
I acceptance our non divinity
With compassion
Whatever my body has to go through
There is potential of oneness
Embrace the journey
Connect with the truth of your oneness
And the gift of being creating
Hashem, HELP US TO EMBRACE OUR PLURALITY
I will Allowing others to be in their state of plurality
Finding their meaning in life
Hashem created our children separately with their own mission
Even though
Our souls are intertwined in this world
Acknowledging the oneness in my inner family circle
embracing the apparent divisiveness
I am birthing
A rise in Geula
