Alter Rebbe, Vaeira
God is infinitely beyond, even the highest heavens.
As he has infinite love for us, He descends.
We are therefore (though it would not normally be feasible) able to integrate.
2. When a person realizes, that part of him opposes God – so in the olden day we sacrificed – and when the animal was burnt, our animal was singed – today we have prayer – when we pray (properly -this burns our animal.. – now when we are outraged that we have such evil, this is a source of anger to us, and once we have anger, this then leads to compassion (for compassion is on an other) and hence when Moshaich comes, and we look back and we can have compassion on our previously stupid self, this will be the greatest possible joy!
3. The highest level is the level of Moses, for though the forefathers had the greatest love for Hashem, nonetheless – it is a person experience / self, that loves (for love is an experience – revelation_) but because Moses was completely humble, nullified to God, to the extent that his words were the words of God, allowing for God to be his speech, there was no, I.
Torah Oir
According to how great is the withdrawal of the Divinity so say, the 210 years in the exile of Egypt, is the reflection of love – so that led to the giving of the Torah, and according to how great it is the withdrawal of our current exile, close to 2,000 years! So will be the infinite revelation of Moshiach – for at Matan Torah, the Jews heard God, but when Moshiach comes it will be face to face and completely integrated.

Why was the first miracle Mosses to show Pharaoh, a stick turning to snake.
The essence of why the Jews were in Egypt was not for the Jews – as Jews are believers the children of believers, but to elevate the sparks.
All physical (certainly gentile perception) comes from the fact that though all comes from God, these sparks of Godliness fall into kelipah.
Kelipah withholds the fact, that it is God.
However when the Egyptians saw these great miracles, they became aware.
A stick represents the entire descent from God to Godliness to physical, and the serpent represents Pharaohs delusion, that this exists, without God.

Just as there is earth below, there is “earth above;” just as there is Jew below, there is Jew above – in fact, we are a parallel universe.
The essence of the Jew below, is one of delight in God.
When we realize, everything is not even like a single thought – for imagine one thought – now heaven and earth is but a single thought – in this primordial thought everything that ever was, is and will be (was conceived) so God is obviously infinitely beyond a one thought (as you are beyond, just a single thought.)
Now who does God receive pleasure from, you.
