The RaMbaM’s Achdus, the world is governed by Hashem through the Mazalos (Malachim) but they have no choice or freedom and operate כגרזן ביד החוצב בו and we argue היתפאר הגרזן על החוצב.
The “tools” according to the RaMbaM (a non-Mystic) aren’t perfect so the world that are a product of those tools cannot be more perfect than the tools that He chooses to use in creation.
This doesn’t indicate a limitation in Hashem but in the world (based on the tools He employs in creating).
The class ends with a discussion on ideas about Philosophy vs. RaMbaM and Chassidus.
The end of this recording is a conversation that should perhaps not have been uploaded. MP3
