Religious/spiritual casuality: how free willed choice affects the cosmos
add also material from "cosmic prayer conneciton: spiritual cosmology"
Basic principle: The Essence is free willed choice (universe created via FW choice, and then Eden account), and the moments when we struggle inside against our negative impulse etc and our nature are the essence of our lives. The Torah doesn't recount all of history (in an open way), but rather the nexii of inportant FW'ed decisions and their effects.
What we decide in these moments of inner struggle determines the future in ways that automatic responses do not (and whatever occurs automatically is of no interest, which is why the account of the creation of the universe is juxtaposed to the emergence of FW).
In that sense it is indeed "all about us", ie "bishvili nivra ha'olam'. But of course we need to focus on ego reduction, self-devleopment towards compassion etc, and this is the essence of giluy shchinah, as in Vayera.

Also: how J'm's interp o Genesis differs from that of Chr
...........................
Foreword: I do not claim that all J's will agree with what I write here about Judaism, I know that very many won't, so it is really a personal statement of what i htink J'm teaches.
Preface:
A) Judaism is humanism: tzlem elokim, vayipach, etc. So if have humanism why need religion?
Firstly, religion is not utilitarianism, it is not only about what is needed. Among other ways of understaning what religion is, it is simply a set of truths - there is a creator, fw, responsibility etc, whether you consider this of use or not, whether or not it changes what you will do.
And if keep all humanism, ve'ahavta etc, then donlt need religion, except that one can create a relationship with Gd, mutual love etc, and also for the J people there is an extra mission of being G's engineers, keeping the mitzvot, see prayer article (Plato's cave etc).
So if someone has the right relationship with God and is a humanist, they donlt need religion, unless they are Jewish in which case they need the Torah.
B) J'm sees many prophets among nonJ's, so maybe they have given teachings to their peoples. J teaching was for the J;s, no other teaching is able to countermand it, but others perhaps can add ideas and perspectives and practices (meditaiotns etc?). And maybe other natoins have missions as well.
S0 in my opinion the J idea of the universe is not nec'ly that Jews have all the info, but they DO have all the info necessary for THEM about God and what their mission is, but there can be additional info for THEM too re science, medicine etc.
So this book is not about what I think J'm says the cosmos is like, but what J'm can tell us about the spiritual cosmos, and perhaps some additional info is needed from nonJ religious sources, and science etc.
....
Introduciton: Mind/Body, physical/spiritual, two source sof info and insight, religion and science. This book presents an integrated...... but form the specifically J Tradition.
.......................
Ch 1: What is the fundamental aspect of the cosmos?
Nothing is significant. That is, no 'thing' can be significant, it can only be significant to a mind, ie wihtout minds there is no significance, or meaning etc. And the sig etc resides in the mind, not in the object etc. Same re beauty, or even color etc. ie Significance, beauty, meaning, morality etc are concepts in our minds, so mind is most fundamental.(our minds play the fundamental role) Mind is fundamental......
Is there a somehow-objective morality, and true fw etc?
Kabbalistic Cosmology:
the nature of the universe is more like mind than like mater, quote Eddington;
the origin of the universe was (and is) an act of will, etc ('creation')
the purpose of creaiton is related to fw'ed action, our actions affect the cosmos
there is a pattern to history, it is going in a certain direction, ie towards an end-goal, and the creator is involved in the process of human history, at the individual and collective level
the physical nature of the universe was designed to enable the achievement of the spiritual goal for which the universe was created.
creation was the act of will of a being.entity which exists now and forever and with which we can connect and which loves us and seeks our love;
our essence is "of the creator", and we can connect to the creator via that, and eventually we can unite [after body and essence are separated].
Garden of Eden story tells of our having accepted to be created, and with the burden of moral rsponsibility.
Un designed with fw action in mind.
FW is the most essential, form FW article.
Give a positive statment of my evo/bb article, not prsented as in opposition to anyhting.
HUman in divine image, breath of G, this is fndamental. --> Avraham, ego etc.
K'c platonism: but we are image of G, so we CAN know a bit.
cause-effect: see Bible for many examples of reactioj of prophet affecting outcome...., Karma etc
Above astrology, Y's dreams etc.
Although the important aspect is FW'd choice, nevertheless, some aspects are pre-determined: as with genetics, so too spiritually: what you are or how you act and what you do can affect events: The Name you give your children or to a place etc determines some aspect of their lives or the future of that place, so it is determined for them, but it was based on YOUR free choice. So you must exert your own FW when you face situaiotns created by other people's FW'ed choice, and YOUR choices will affect others.
Principles:
A basic principle is mida kneged mida, so one should examine one's life-events to trace this and try to decipher what is the message.
Deliberate misleading: look behind the scenes, go to a deeper level (I need to figure out what would have been the case if the Biblical protagonist had done this...)....
Response affects future:
every time a response is required - whether verbal or action - it is an opportunity, and a maximally-positive response will effectuate a positive future;
always judge lekaf zchus, otherwise the negative interpretation boomerangs to you;
interpret dreams positively and this helps in actualizing them positively;
be supporting maximally of the dreams of others, help them to achieve it rather than shooting it down verbally or taking action to obstruct it.
Mitzvos (7 of bnei noach, 10 comandments...) were established in response to humanity's actions. Mitzvot specific to the Jewish People and then Holidays were established in response to Bney Yisrael's actions.
things happen over and over again, until resolved (eg sibling rivalry, but also the parallel stories), so we need to pay attention to the patterns in our lives and find out thereby what the challenge is that we are meant to face, the obstacle to overcome inside us, the direction of growth that is being pointed out to us.
we can create channels for our descendants and the bney yisrael as a whole, so at moments of decision, remember it is destiny & eternity that is affected and this can give us the strength to make the effort and self-sacrifice.
what the story of yosef dream tells us about astrology; avodah zarah vs human FW, especially as guided by hashgachah pratit.
problem of evil
what monotheism is really about
listen carefully to what is said and what is happening during important nexus, try to go out of yourself at that moment because there are messages in what is happening that you can miss due to self-involvement at that instant.
