In Bereshit, Why does Hashem say “Let us make man” — who is the “us”?

Let's focus on one fundamental, namely an aspect of free will. The definition of the human as human is free will. So I'd like to bring out one aspect of free will that possibly hopefully will set us a direction for the year to come. The concept of free will is at the root of what it means to be human. The major says on the verse when Hashem says when God says let us make the human being the question the obvious question is why would he express himself in the plural Adam let us make man make the human and the medus has a number of answers the most famous of course is let us make you let me and you make you I'll begin your creation you complete it you as a human being bring yourself to completion but one answer that's relevant to our discussion today is in the medish and the medish says that when Hashem came to create the human being, he consulted all the midas, all the angelic powers that he want to assemble in the constellation that would become the human being. He spoke to truth, ema charity, justice, mercy, kindness, etc. Some said he bore he should be created. Some said ali should not be created. Truth for example says said do not create human beings they'll be full of lies. stalker charity said create human beings they'll give charity and these cosmic forces became locked in an almighty unresolvable argument and while they were arguing Hashem created the human being now the wrong understanding of that teaching of our sages is that they couldn't agree so he ignored them that's not correct he asked their advice and he took it what was their advice an almighty unresolved conflict and that's what it created the human being is a battlefield a war zone of free will needing to choose between the constructive and the destructive elements. And of course, every rash of that battle is replayed. After all, every festival, every yumptive in Jewish thinking is a revisiting of what happened at that time in the past. What happened at that time in the past was the creation of the human being. And that's replayed every year.
