10 Shvat 5721, Class 27; Sicha 5 (Class 02). Before we discuss מרום we will explain the more conventional term: שמים (heaven). It has two meanings: 1) Emotions, as represented by the word itself: שמים is אש ומים this means the various emotional expressions of emotional loyalty to Hashem. 2) Intellect. The שמים is also from root שומא (like בית שמאי means exactness) which is to evaluate and discern as only the mind can. So, Shamayim, is a relationship with Hashem on the emotional or intellectual level.
