The 13 Principles of Jewish Faith - Principle #1: Constantly Inflated - Rabbi Akiva Fox

so now we're gonna focus on the actual world word bourree bourree means he creates it does not mean he created in past tense but it means he constantly creates now that would seem strange because we know that the world was created but we don't necessarily know that the world is constantly being created now this is something that we say in da Vernon and it feel on the prayers of everyday hamaha desh bateau by he renews his in his great kindness but wholly owned tahmid every day ma saber Asia's the the creations of this world now what does that mean that he recreates it it seems that everything is stable it seems that everything exists and everything is here and it's here to stay so what does that mean it's a constant recreating of the world now to answer this question we're going to see further down that there's something called Rutzen Rutzen means will desire Hashem is the source his will is the source actually the word rut sign and the word Makar which means source have the same guy Maitreya they have the same numerical value pointing to that they are very much in on two sides of one coin Hashem is the source for everything now we're going to analyze this with a little bit of depth so I need to put your thinking caps on if you don't have one and let's follow this try to understand it and it's in its entirety or at least as much as we're able to understand let's say you have two actors in a movie two actors in a movie they are there they've done what they've done they have no connection with each other unless of course they are in the movie when they're you know the main actor and the supporting actor and then it's over that's not the way the world is run that not the way where the world was created let's try to look at it as if it's a puppet show if you have a puppet show there is only one person running all of the puppets even though it seems that all these puppets have different parts and are accomplishing different things and doing different things but it's all on the direction of one the puppeteer the maestro so in a certain sense hashem that's his job he's the creator and does everything but that's not enough of an example it's completely not enough because it's missing something in that mush on that parable the way we understood it the puppets are not part of the entity called the puppeteer they are separate they're different little characters and they are not in essence part of God so that can't be that can't be what we're looking for what's really happening over here and again this is all to make it a little bit more understandable obviously it's not exactly there's something called moon bounce or bouncing bouncing jumping toys basically you go to these carnivals and they have this thing this thing you blow up and it looks like a castle or it looks like an island with trees and palm trees and balls and whatever and there's this machine that has the air blowing into it at all times and that blows up into this beautiful thing that kids can jump on and bounce now as they're jumping and bouncing there's different objects or props that are all being inflated constantly with that machine that brings the air into them they're always constantly bling blown up and the kids jump up and down and the kid will jump and I'll be able to see a palm tree I'll be able to hold a ball hold around the ball but they're all coming in essence from the air being blown into them from this machine the second that machine stops inflating it stops blowing the air it's gone it stops it ceases to exist in a sense the old is the same thing the world is a three-dimensional creation and we humans are part of that creation that God breathes his neshama his neshama means soul as well as the word mishima which means breath and he breathed his soul into it constantly meaning the machine which is hostile God blowing his neshama blowing his soul into it is a constant thing continuously the second if God wills it that he will stop breathing into it is neshama it's going to cease to exist it no longer exists perhaps a better a better muscle a better idea of this would be blowing bubbles if you've ever done that you stick the little circle into soapy water and you blow a bubble as long as you keep blowing the bubble exists as good can get bigger and bigger but the second you stop blowing boom it's gone now what every second that you keep blowing in essence you keep creating the second you decide to stop blowing the second is decide to stop inflating that bubble it's gone so that means that you constantly create the bubble every second and you decide to continue to blow into it the same thing is with God's creation as long as he wills the world to exist his will is like the air blowing into that bubble that means that it's a constant creation it's not that he created way back when bara but Bo ray he continues to create that means he continues for to want to desire the world to exist the way it exists the second he stops it's over finished it says if it doesn't exist anymore so every second that we are here every second that the world is here is not a system that was put into place back when it's a continuous creation that God continues to want continues to desire and now it exists that's very important in many aspects that's actually why it's called 13 principles of faith because 13 principles are the foundations and you build on foundations there's many many formats that this can be developed but I'd like to focus on one which is something that the farm discussed when it comes to chew Vaughn when it comes to repentance and returning to us in a person should never feel God doesn't want me anymore I've done too much wrong and it's over God doesn't want me he doesn't want my Chuba you know why you should never feel that way because if God didn't want you then you wouldn't be here because that's the way it works God is the air blown into you and the second he stops that mean he doesn't want but if you still here then that means he still wants you here as long as we exist and the world exists there's something that God wants from us there's something that God wants from me and you and from the rest of the world from it in its entirety so as long as we still exist there's something that God wants from us to accomplish so when we say a sham is the beret it's not that he created way back in the 60s it's not that they created Bay back when it said night you know when I was born it was nineteen twenty or something so 1920 so way back it's at zero zero zero zero then there was zero zero zero one so we're talking about way in the four zeros when God created it it wasn't just then it's now it's constant this is what we call rough sign this is what we call a shams will his desire that desire is the soul of the world and that's a continuous process a continuous creation that's why we say the word boring now there's a another explanation that of course is following this this example but it's much deeper when you have for example the bat symbol which was Batman I hope he rests and I don't know if he's dead yet but whatever happened to him they had this symbol this light shining in in the sky and there was a cover over the light that made a bet in heaven not in heaven in the skies or for example if you take a light and you put your two fingers in front of the light so now on the wall you're going to have an image of two fingers you can turn it into a rabbit or to an alligator or something like that so you have the light and creates an image on the wall depending on the black meaning the thing that you put in front of the light in essence we're going to switch that over in a certain sense to God's creation God is the light God is the fascinating illumination that shines to create an image but in order for that to make an image on the wall number one he creates the wall and number two is he put something in front of the light which is him too he puts it in front of the light so it will create images called this world called me a new meaning that me and you are images 3d 4d 5d that are coming from God now that light in this farm and Cibola on differents farm has many different different names the light is called Rutzen the light is called or the light is called Rock'em in which means mercy love and the fingers or the black or the thing that's being illuminated that is called Russia that is called in judgment that has other names and when you put the two together Rock'em him and then I have a euro those to create together the entity called the world that we live in we live in a world that has both rahaman and din that Rock'em him and then that mercy and that judgment or the love and the fear however you look at it both together are constant creations from a shim that give life and existence to the world that we live in now so when we say the word x ray we don't mean he once created we mean that he constantly creates he constantly wills because his light shines on the world in the world through the world and makes the world at every second
