From Worship to Work - An introduction to the new nature of הר סיני וקבלת התורה, which must also be the תיקון למעשה נדב ואביהו בהר סיני ובאהרן התאנף ה' בעשיית העגל. The loss of self in Worship is here replaced by the discovery of self in the nature of עבודה redefined here as the achievement of a Free Creation, such that all which would otherwise be achieved in randomness and thus without independence, becomes here achievements of chosen and aware vision which is a free and separate Creation needing no particular causality in random processes. This is the new appreciation of 50-50, the pure and paradoxical chance through which פור and Chance becomes personal destiny, the real meaning of escape from מזל and ויוצא אותו החוצה.
We never escape פור but we can become the מקום אחר, and must learn to live with this through גורל יום הכיפורים – פרה. Those who are doomed to return to become a “perfect entity” have not yet achieved the Art of Dying which lies in the complete כבוד זה לזה which turns the personal into the intimate and opens the door to a renewed קבלת התורה of עכשיו קרבנו המקום לעבודתו and to the רמב"ם: הודיענו דרך עבודתו. This is the true תיקון העגל, for misplaced כבוד to mere non-causal mechanisms is more devastating than mistaken projections, the entire meaning of עבודת כוכבים!
The very fact that שמחה is discovered in conjunction with אבלות twice, the fact that כבוד עצמו and לא כבדו זא"ז – לא נטלו עצה זה מזה are equivalent to the טעות הגדולה לכבד משרתים, that the meaning of Torah is to distinguish between עבוד"ת כוכבים and דרך עבודתו means that we deal here with something much more profound than projection (which is only secondary: וכל הטועין אחרי"ה, i.e. the עבודה not the כוכבים! Thus the awareness of true כבוד is the very opposite of עבודה זרה for it is the ultimate recognition of the gravity of the possibilities of what to you are the מקום אח"ר currently, and the expansion of those possibilities and the expression of “working” on one path through the נטייה לדרך הטובה בעיניו is the essence of Rambam’s רשות לכל אדם...להטות עצמו לדרף טובה. It is only the possibilities that lie within multiple realities that allows achievement of a particular Creation of קדושה which is itself the line of transition, כחוט השערה (רש"י). This is why even in Creation the הבדלה was so close that it allowed the confusion of ביום הששי – ביום שביעי. Serendipitous discoveries.
