We explore how Hashem created the world ex nihilo - something from 'nothing.'

The visions can sometimes take on a paradoxical form, analogous to the type of experience one has in a dream.

The prophet experiences a vision in which he sees something from our world. Each of the things in our world represent a spiritual concept in the upper worlds, and thus his vision tells him in an analogous way about the spiritual realms.

We continue to discuss the concept of the 'picture' of God that Moshe and the prophets were able to envision.

We discuss the concept of the 'picture' of God that Moshe and the prophets were able to envision.

We discuss the seeming contradiction between seeing a vision of God and how He has no form, explaining that there is a simultaneous understanding that the vision is only a representation, and the prophet is not seeing the essence of Hashem.

The vision the prophet receives is a picture which contains an analogy either to one of Hashem's attributes, or one of His deeds.

We discuss how there are certain aspects of reality that are directly affected by a higher influx, and how those same influxes have a time where they come into play in a more general way, as well.

The judgment of Hashem is precise and takes all factors into account, assuring the fairest result - the ultimate reward of the person for all their deeds.
