19c. Vayihyu B’nei Yisroel BaMidbar Vyimtzeu Ish Mekoshesh 5713, Class Three.
This class is on the very beginning and the end of this Ma’amar; and it is the Rebbe’s explaining the Mekoshesh.
There are three levels of understanding the Mekoshesh:
1) The Zohar: Separating and prioritizing Etz HaDa’as from Etz HaChayim,
2) Kabbalah: Seeing other trees (Malachim) and focusing on the aspect that SEPARATES them from Elokus.
3) The story on the actual simple level: the physical act of being Mechalel Shabbos by collecting wood in a Reshus HaRabim.
The highest level of Mekoshesh is the finest, but one falls from there to looking to find separation in Hashem’s world (the second level) which in the end can lead (God forbid) to actual sin.
