DIRAH BITACHTOINIM
The notion of Dirah Bitachtoinim – above below, is not that below leaves its basic premise (in other words, God created daas eleyoin (the perspective/premise of above and daas tachtoin, the perspective / premise of below – the premise of below, is, our reality is real and thoughts, ideas, are somewhat amorphous (while the premise of above, is the opposite).
DIRAH BITACHTOINIM – CHARITY
The way we merit for the Divine to descend (Dirah Bitachtionim, particularly within us) is through Tzeddaka (charity) and the proper mechanism of giving charity, is to first account for what it’s that you require (not want) and the rest give to charity.
MAKING SPACE (FOR THE DIVINE)
When we are busy desiring, instead of living humbly with our sole focus on being the Divine vehicle – these desires do not allow the Divine to penetrate.
You see, if we are not completely dedicated to manifesting the Divine, so though the Divine, being infinite, can manifest; nonetheless, like a curtain blocking the sunlight ….
DIVINE REFINEMENT
In order for us to be practically refined, not only must we make an effort; the Divine radiance (shechinah) has (perhaps) a primary function.
SHECHINAH – ruach hakodesh-holy-spirit
This Divine Shechina (which is in fact higher than prophecy – it is the essence of God, so high that there is no depth too low (for the essence created all) descends, not only to the Jewish people, but to the whole world, including the gentiles.
SHECHINAH – ruach hakodesh-holy-spirit
However the goal of this Shechina (Divine manifestation – ruach hakodesh-holy-spirit) is not for us to “sing praises” (in other words, to be in jubilation – ecstasy – in a state of rapture) rather quite simply to refine, better and create kinder people.
