All of Judaism contains rotzu vshuv, ying and yang
By zevi770 · November 25, 2013
However in a mechanism no man has ever understood before
You see, even the idea of ying and yang effectively is balance
But what no man can comprehend is this, that life is not balanced, it is infinitely progressive
For if you wake up in the morning you see or /hence believe there is a reality
What it is; people have been trying to work out from time immemorial!
But here is the truth
Obviously the reality you see, is not a reality; it is like one day Mario wakes up and sees his reality (Mario is your avatar in a video game “Mario Brothers.”)
But what Mario must realize is, this entire reality is no more than someone’s fantasy; dreamed up in the mind, in the drafts, in the code, that creates it.
If that is the case, what is the reality?!
Ah’ this is what Chassidus teaches, there are infinite realities, infinite life lessons!
And the mechanism God uses, is called ratzu, vishuv.
In other words, inspiration and application.
Now the great mistake even religions, ideals etc. make, is they assume “ok there must be one truth, one inspiration;” so even if (they believe inspiration is not an end but a means) they serve people their version of inspiration to be applied in the person’s life.
Judaism notoriously was perceived as being primarily – correctly so for the time – as an application of the commandments.
Yet again, this would be to limit God, to believe that he who created one reality, cannot create two, three, ad-infinitum.
So Judaism, in fact is a cycle, like a circular stairwell in which our first years of life should be fully dedicated to studying Torah – inspiration – and from marriage onwards the application of its principles.
Our morning begins with inspiration, prayer and Torah study and the rest of the day, the application of its principles.
The week, begins with Shabbos (the first day man arrived on earth – a few hours before) and the rest of the week should be its application.
But this is what no man has ever understood before; that we are not cycling in a circle, we are progressing in an upward spiral.
