Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 7 Class 8.Discussion on מציאות שאינה מציאות אמיתית Class Five. Continuing the discussion of the two Sichas. Is the only solution to the אחדות בחירה question, נמנע הנמנעות? or is there a way to explain it. And if there is a way to explain it why does the Rebbe in יין מלכות say it is due to נמנע הנמנעות? First of all: Free will is not allowed (He gets out of the way so we are free); He empowers us with it, because naturally everything was programmed by the programmer in a specific way. Second of all: The Rebbe’s argument is that free will is only in the essence, this means, that real choice isn’t based on heart, mind, senses or even of character, because those choices aren’t yours freely, they are based on an influence outside of who they are in essence. The essence is the “truth” or “reality” of the chooser, this is above logic or influence from the outside, it is the freedom of the person.
