heiligheid -1

zoals de joden het zien...

´adam´ always aspires
he aspires to more than what he is
he goes beyond

that ´adam´ is different from an animal
animal is ´ba-ma´: what you see is what you get
there is no more

but an ´a-dam´ is more by definition
[a-dam, ´oút of the earth´...]

he always aspires to go beyond what you see
to go beyond what he actually has

-

and that aspiration is defined as ´kedushah´

as an aspiration to a connectedness with God

with something higher than the world itself
something beyond the physical nature
the worldly nature of the world itself

that is where God connects to the world
in the ´miqdash´ [´temple´?...]
which is holiness by definition

´miqdash´ is
where we find that connection
of God to the world

is where we are not allowed to approach
when we have a condition of thuma
a condition of thuma, of defileness
is a condition that pins us down
to the lower elements
of our physical reality
