Description

p 71. Olam Hazeh (this World) has two parts: Life under the sun, and Adam (man). If we are not dedicated to serving Hashem, then we are serving the powers of this world, ruled by the sun. In our day, sun-worship is the obsession with money and materialism. The 365 negative mitzvos correspond to the days of the solar year. The sefira of Malchus (kingship) is about making order of all of the powers from the other sefiros. Man is outside of the solar cycle and has the unique ability to rise above his limitations. Of the two levels of mazal, only the lower level, the means to fulfill your mazal, can be broken through and changed.
