Nungali Posted 14 hours ago 1 hour ago, Lairg said: Long ago I read: Demon deus inversus est Demon is the inverse of God If God is the Source of All, what is the inverse of God? Consider the Tzimtzum That only applies if one thinks creation is something other than God ( God is 'immanent ') ... and that within a narrowly defined 'theology' that tries to explain or excuse - as all theology does - conflicting key concepts in other areas ie. a 'limitless' light . One might consider more practical applications ? " The more the tzimtzum of the self, the more the capacity for existence for the other, and therefore the unit. It is remarkable how true this is at various levels, whether physical, in respecting private space in the house, car or workplace, or emotional in respecting needs. Being overbearing in one’s insistence that a spouse should behave in a certain way, or meet needs in a certain way, or follow orders in a certain way, are all methodologies of demanding emotional space to occupy, rather than contracting from it and leaving room.'' (its good to have a Rabi to 'keep you on course' ) https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2328171/jewish/Chapter-10-Tzimtzum.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
