Kabbalah for Everyone Lesson 9: Atzmut - Beyond Nature and MiraclesFinding G-d in the Ordinary Moments of Life

Send us Fan MailIn this lesson, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the deepest ideas in Kabbalah: Atzmut, the Absolute Essence of Hashem. After learning about Mimaleh, the Divine energy that fills the world, Sovev, the Divine energy that transcends the world, and Ratzon and Ta’anug, will and delight, this class goes deeper still.What is beyond nature? What is beyond miracles? What is beyond what we understand, feel, or experience? Kabbalah teaches that Hashem is not only found when the sea splits. He is also found when the heart beats, the lungs breathe, the body works, and an ordinary day quietly becomes a gift.This lesson helps us stop waiting for dramatic inspiration and begin recognizing Hashem in real life: in mitzvahs, gratitude, prayer, relationships, patience, and the small choices that turn the world into a home for G-d. Based on the attached Atzmut chapter.Key Takeaways1. Nature is G-d hidden in a pattern: Teva is not the absence of Hashem. It is Hashem concealed inside the steady rhythm of creation.2. Miracles are G-d breaking the pattern: Nissim reveal that Hashem is not limited by nature, systems, habits, or expectations.3. Atzmut is beyond both nature and miracles: Hashem is not defined by hiddenness or revelation. He can be found in both, because He transcends both.4. The greatest miracles are often the ones we stop noticing: Breathing, waking up, walking, healing, functioning, these are not “ordinary.” They are constant gifts.5. Faith must move from makif to pnimi: It is not enough for faith to hover around us as inspiration. It has to enter our thoughts, speech, and actions.6. Atzmus is revealed in simple mitzvahs: The highest Divine Essence is not only found in mystical experiences. It is revealed in lighting candles, giving tzedakah, putting on tefillin, saying a bracha, and choosing kindness.7. Don’t wait to feel spiritual before living spiritually: The beinoni may not control every feeling, but can choose thought, speech, and action.8. The goal is Dirah B’Tachtonim: Hashem wants a home here, in this world, in this body, in this relationship, in this moment, even before the coffee fully kicks in.#KabbalahForEveryone #Atzmut #chassidus #ChabadChassidus #JewishWisdom #PracticalKabbalah #NatureAndMiracles #Teva #Nissim #DivineEssence  #spiritualgrowth #JewishSpirituality #TorahForLife #InnerWork Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
