Class One. This class includes: 1) an introduction and overview of Basi Ligani, 2) The Question: How can the Nefesh HaElokis and Nefesh haBahamis ever interface? they are opposites. Only Hashem can join opposites together through ‘Nimna HaNimnaos’ but not man. Example one: The Gedula and Gevura employed in creation. The Rebbe shows that they are not opposites at all. Example two; Kasha KiKrias yam Suf, joining the land and the sea (the hidden and revealed world) But the two souls are joined by man and that should be impossible?
Class Two. The answer to our (two) question(s) is given here. The two questions were 1) how can k’dusha and klipa ever meet, they are opposites and only Hashem can bring opposites together. We explain why bringing together the Godly and Animal Souls is considered an act of man and not of God. 2) How can Klipa ever dominate K’dusha. The answer is given in three incremental steps: 1) What falls lower has a higher source, so Klipa is higher in its source than K’dusha. 2) This is even more so in the complete Klipos, where good and evil are not only entangled but have become one. 3) In the pleasure and delight of Hashem all is unified, and since Klipa is needed to satisfy the desire of Dira BiTachtonim, so there, Klipa and K’dusha are not opposites at all. Ultimately, K’dusha prevails and does Iskafia and Ishapcha on Klipa.
Class 3 1) Question: How can Klipa oppose Klipa when Kedusha is the will Hashem and Klipa opposes it. Example one: The Gedula and Gevura employed in creation. The Rebbe shows that they are not opposites at all. Example two; Kasha KiKrias yam Suf, joining the land and the sea (the hidden and revealed world).
Class 4 The answer is that Klipa has a higher source than Kedusha and it therefore is able to dominate it. Question: so how does K’dusha win in the end? Answer: The source of K’dusha is in Hashem’s Taanug (delight) in Atzmus and this allows one to change the creation including changing the Klipa superiority over K’dusha and defeat Klipa.
Comparison and distinction. The difference between the two Basi Liganis 5734 above. The Rebbe said the Maamar Basi Liogani twice in 5734. Once on Shabbos afternoon and again that Motzoei Shabbos and the Maamarim are quite different. This class attempts to reveal what these differences are. The Mezritcher Maggid says the point of creation is Hashem delighting in our delighting in His Mitzvos (as opposed to the ideas of action and Bittul). The Jews delight touches and is raised to the delight of Hashem which empowers one to change the creation! The first Ma’amar describes the change we affect before we are even born, by His anticipating the pleasure He will get, He affects that Klipa and K’dusha should coexist in spite of their being opposites. In the second Ma’amar the Rebbe discusses how by reaching this Ta’anug we affect that Klipa (though it has a higher source) should be defeated by K’dsha.
