Integral Torah Perspectives

והיה כי תבאו אל גן עדן, ואכלתם לחם מן השמים ולא תזרעו. וציותי את ברכתי, כן יצמיח ה׳, ובני הנביאים, היפה בנשים, תבעול בבאיה, אל ארץ העליונה. ואכלתם ישן דעתיק יומיא, ושבת לגן עדן מלעובדה ושומרה. לבן בקש, בעתיק דקליפה, אם בארבע מראות לבנים דנגע, לעקור יותר מפרעה. אבל פותר חלומות, תופר להעלות, ויין ישן לישראל סבא, דיוסף שלח מסבא דסבין. -מעובד מאור התורה בהר

אך בגורל - ותעמוד לגורלך לקץ הימין תחלק - כל ישראל יש להם חלק הארץ -לעולם ירשו ארץ העליונה, עולם הבא ממאמר אך בגורל, אור התורה פינחס

לעת ערב יהיה אור, חשך שחור תאורם. קשה כמות אהבה, עם גנבים באו לך. יהי לגלוגי כשיר ושבח עריבה, שפכי כמים לבך. כציפר נדדת מקנה, הפח נשבר - סולו סולו המסילה.

Even though yeast is forbidden from sacrifices in general, it is particularly excluded from the korban mincha which must be baked with chametz. The korban is itself is for atonement while the mincha is considered a gift, "doron". Just as a formal tribute to an official must be a thing of beauty, free from all imperfections more than other debts and taxes given. So to there is this emphasis on self effacement that one mist express in the mincha.

In the first Ki Merosh Tzurim in Ohr Hatorah Balak there's a great explanation of the extra 'foot' on the first hey of Shem Havaya (in the sefer Torah). It's the concept of the expression in the Zohar hakadosh אושיט פסיע לבר - that bina "takes a step outside." He connects it with the idea how it's like the actual writing, sefer, is a step outside of from the scribe, sofer, while the last hey is the sipur, the story and meaning of the words. The reason sefer is a "step outside" from the sofer is the difference between how much the midos are in potential within chochma as opposed to how much they are in potential in bina. In chochma they are compared to the potential for the child within the seminal drop, while in bina like the child in the mothers womb. While still hidden in the womb it is more revealed.

The concept of a black hole might be applied allegorically in the following way. There is an idea of a light that is so high that it is above the purpose of shining outward. Rather, it is something essentially bright, an "ohr atzmi". There's another idea of a place that is so high that it is considered dark, as no revelation from such a level can be grasped at all. In the process of creation the idea is referenced by the verse ישת חושך סתרו - he surrounds himself with darkness. A place that is essentially hidden and not even findable, a "choshech atzmi". (Expansiveness as merchav ha'atzmi- to expand on elsewhere...) There is a concept of "seder zmanim", the "order" of times that is described before creation. The process of creation of time as a gradation from potential to a...
