If everything is a daydream how can it hurt the dreamer?

The answer is that Hashem wants those things that He doesn't like.

His will creates them.

סטרא אחרה - אלוקים אחרים

Mashal of Phenomena

All phenomena get its life from Hashem's will for it to be.

Similar to employees having their job for as long as the employer wants to employ them.

If Hashem wants everything then why does the Zohar call the things that Hashem hates "dead"?

1. So too. Somethings Hashem really wants.

2. The things that can serve what He really wants.

3. And some things he is just waiting to get rid of.

1. The employees that fulfill the goal of the company.

2. The employees that could help the goal of the company.

3. And some employees he is just waiting to fire.

Mashal

NiMshal

I Look Good! Want Me! Must Have!

The things that Hashem is just waiting to get rid off always attract attention to themselves and are very loud. They are loud because they need others for validation. They have no self worth. They are only worth what value we give them so they perpetually advertise how "good" they are.

​It surges up like an eagle. The phenomena that Hashem is just waiting to get rid off, boasts and has a ego comparable to the height of an eagle's flight.

מַגְבִּיהַּ עַצְמָהּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר

Yechezkel said about Paroh that Paroh would say that the river is his and he made it. "The river is mine and I made it." Another expression that stresses how lesser things are loud and egotistical.

יְאוֹר לִי וַאֲנִי עֲשִׂיתִנִי

An expression used by Yeshaya to describe what the enemies of the Yiddin think about themselves. "I am and there is nothing besides for me."

אֲנִי וְאַפְסִי עוֹד

Becuase Hashem is just waiting to get rid of them, they are considered already dead. As if they are not real even now. Just like an employee who is getting fired tomorrow is pretty much already gone.

The Torah and Hashem are one.

דְּ״אוֹרַיְיתָא וְקוּדְשָׁא־בְּרִיךְ־הוּא כּוּלָּא חַד״,

The 248 Mitzvos are the 248 Limbs of the King.

דְּ״רַמַ״ח פִּיקּוּדִין אִינּוּן רַמַ״ח אֵבָרִין דְּמַלְכָּא״

Chapter 23 - Tying Together the Oneness and Torah and Mitzvos

Hashem's will for mitzva phenomena

So when you do a mitzva...

Hashem's will in its most revealed and graceful state is infusing you. You embody what Hashem really wanted in this world. The mitzvah act reveals Hashem's will like your limb reveals you. We know that our bodies are our identity. So to Hashem's mitzvos are His limbs. Unlike everything else in this world which is not His ultimate will.

External Power becomes a chariot.

We do the Mitzvos with our mobile abilities.

The Mitzvos are done with our external power of action.

This external power is what becomes a chariot to Hashem.

A chariot can take its rider to places where the rider couldn't go Himself. Even though the rider is much better than the chariot.

Similarly a Yid can do for Hashem something that He "chose to not be able to do" on His own and needs us to do. He needs us, ego beings to do the will of the Supreme Being.

When a person does a Mitzva, he is like a rider to Hashem's chariot.

​לְפִי שֶׁהַמִּצְוֹת הֵן פְּנִימִיּוּת רָצוֹן הָעֶלְיוֹן וְחֶפְצוֹ הָאֲמִיתִּי

Because the Mitzvos are Hashem's true inner most will and desire.

The quality of everything in this world depends on how well the yiddin do Mitzvos and learn Torah. As long as yiddin are doing Mitzvos carefully and learning Torah properly everything else in this world prospers. When they stop. Everything loses its quality.

​כִּי כָּל חַיּוּתָם וְשִׁפְעָם תָּלוּי בְּמַעֲשֵׂה הַמִּצְוֹת שֶׁל הַתַּחְתּוֹנִים, כַּנּוֹדָע.

No Product - No Paycheck.

In the mashal of the employer. If the main employees who are supposed to carry out what the company is for are not going to do their jobs. The employer will stop supporting the rest of the assistant workers. But if they do their job well, he will give more and more to everyone in the company.

With Torah we engage our thoughts and speech and become a clone of Hashem. Its likem meiosis with the DNA. So a deeper part of you becomes one with a deeper part of Hashem.

Torah

With Mitzvos we engage our actions and become Hashem's chariot.

Mitzvos

With Torah We are even Closer
