GOD IS

 

My experience learning from Tenya:  (A personal view of my understanding)

 

 Hashem (God) Is...(Quite a unique thought from me, wouldn’t you say?).

 

In the few weeks of Chabad teachings for me to date has been the  reality of the  awesomness of Hashem and minuteness of our reality compared to that of  Hashem (God).  Today we approached the essence of faith.  Now explain this.  Last night, the night before my Sat. AM session today,  I watched a TV special about Atheism.

  A portion of the show took place with a scientist’s explantion of evolution.  He was asked about how and why birds got feathers.  After explaning his bottom up theory of evolution (it didn’t take thousands of years for birds to get feathers), which means there weren’t bumps that over time grew into feathers after many

conversations between the cells, he said ‘YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH’ (in the theory).  That was the most surprising answer I’ve heard from a scientist.  From what I understand, with my limited knowledge of these things, all of theoretic science is based on the faith that the theorist is correct.  And what I’m learning is that there is no language for "what is God".

Language is the diminished reality (given by God) that we possess in order to express our reality and/or the esoteric thought(s) that we describe as intelligence.

This is exhauting.  I need to rest.
