Quotes from Jewish Mysticism

Tziyon Bmishoat Tipadeh Vishaveh Bitzdaah 5735 2
INNER SELF/SOUL
Tziyon refers to the inner heart (as we know that there is an inner soul and outer, inner heart and our more conscious self.)
YOU/GOD
The inner heart is called Tziyon, for it reflects the Divine (Tziyoin means a sign.)
This level can never be sullied. (In other words, our essence is always as pure, as its original creation.)
However it may need to be redeemed – and this redemption is through the study of Torah.
PERSONAL REDEMPTION/CHARITY
In contrast vishaveha refers to our conscious self – this refers to the feet of the soul – which can be truly imprisoned – and it is redeemed through charity – the practical Mitzvos.
MOSHIACH
The level of Moshiach’s soul is infinitely beyond all of ours – the Ari-Zal tells us, that the soul of all the Tzaddikim in general is from Naran – the soul of Adam was Chayah but the soul of Moshiach is Yechida (like the fundamental source.)
YECHIDA / MOSHIACH
Now the height of Yechida beyond NaranCh is an infinitely higher dimension.
ACTION VS. TORAH
When Moshaich comes we will see how much greater is action over study (In fact, study is only a vehicle – an example of this is a car compared to a human.)
ACTION NOW
As all that occurs when Moshiach comes, is a result of our current behavior (it is a reactionary reward) hence today before the coming of Moshiach, the emphasis is on action.
CHARITY
Today before the coming of Moshiach, our main duty is charity and goodness and kindness.
TESHUVA NOW
Just as when Moshiach comes, hence now, action is greater, similarly, now, nothing is greater than Teshuva – self-growth.
