LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO
A FRESH LOOK AT GENESIS
M.M.NINAN
For every contraction (tzimtzum), another part expands.
Tzimtzum makes room for others, thereby giving a person and others space to co-exist.
The movement of tzimtzum is dynamic. Sometimes there is tzimtzum, and sometimes there
is extension or expansion, and there is no one constant force that controls the other.
The tzimtzum of an individual makes room for the other but is essentially different than selfeffacement
as it is commonly understood. In the tzimtzum the individual does not vanish or
become erased but continues to exist but with higher potency. Since the point has zero
dimension, the potency will be (Potency)/0 which is the definition of infinite.
Tzimtzum may be articulated on an inter-personal level, between parents and children,
between spouses and between friends. It can be articulated in a family, a group, a tribe, a
nation and even in the whole world of mankind. When it is expressed in the whole creation, it
becomes the Kingdom of God, where God will be in all and all will be in God.
This was clearly explained by Jesus:
“Jesus called [the disciples] together and said,
“You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you.
Instead,
whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:42-45
