I.E. WE perceive a flow of time that on an EMES level is not quite an accurate picture... <br><br>Perhaps before eitz hada'as our Neshamos COULD be masig, and that aspet could communicate to the amterial side<br>While afterward eitz hada's our material beings are now blocked from "getting it."
<br>-- <br>it is also my firm belief that True Science and True Torah can never be in conflict, t is our human limitations that perceive contradictions that are not there and perhaps during yemos hamashiach when Da'as Hashem kemayim mechassim we will THEN be able to transcend these human limitations by an infusion of Divine Enlightenment. apropos to YK:
<br>" Or Zaraua Latzadik...v'gomer"<br><br>Hashiveinu Hashem El;icha hadesh Yameinu K'kedem:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">It is my firm understanding that when we yearn for teshuva we are not moving FORWARD towards a future of Yyemos Hamshiach but back to the restopration of pre-eitz had'as innocence of Gan Eiden. hence hadeish yameinu ke'kdem refers to the Kedem of Eiden. so the flow of time might be circular in a way and not a straight line at all. Moving forward towards Moshiach circles us back to the beginning!
