God… – last night Rabbi Jacobson said how words mean so many different things – to one, God may mean love, another resentment, another obligation – when we look at how many religions there are…. in truth God is a mechanism – there are no definitions of that which has no limitation, even the limitation of having no limitation (for the difference between infinity that we can/’t understand is, one is infinite relative to finite (so numbers for example) the other is infinite with nothing relative to it (for example imagination – so it can create anything) Therefore ultimately there is no one thing that God is – so instead of using our minds – a limited tool to understand that which is unlimited, instead we must access revelation – and as the Rebbe says, ultimately God is the being that creates both the physical and the spiritual, and as the Alter Rebbe says, all of Judaism and life is ratzu-vshuv, we traverse moments of inspiration which get downloaded in an eternal ying and yang
