What is the mood of an empty will?
It's certainly not sad. It wants, but what it wants is nothing.
It definitely exists. It has what it wants. What other kind of existence can a will have?
What is the mood of a photon? It wants, so it acts.
What is the mood of darkness? It also wants. It also acts.
It wants what light wants, or it wouldn't let light have it. It acts where light doesn't? No. It acts everywhere.
Does the light listen to the darkness? Does the darkness listen to the darkness?
They don't have to. They're one. One will, one action.
Two men are fighting. They think they have two minds. One thinks he wants what the other thinks he doesn't.
But they only have one body. His nails want what his arm wants -- they both want his arm to bleed. If the arm didn't want to bleed, it wouldn't. Simple as that.
Their body exists. Its mind exists. Their minds exist. Their thoughts exist. He *wants* to think what he thinks -- and he *wants* it to conflict.
And those thoughts, as it turns out, want to be destroyed. His arm wants to be destroyed. His fist wants to be destroyed. He certainly wants to be destroyed.
The question is, will there be anything left? Of course.
He wants to live. He wants to live and be destroyed. He wants to think and have his thoughts destroyed. In a phrase, he wants, but what he wants is nothing.
It's hard to speak for the Jews as a whole. What I am about to say is probably wrong.
The Jews want a lot of things. They want a lot of things to live and be destroyed, and live anyway.
The living anyway part is important. They want to lift up one foot, and have it fall again. To lift the other foot, and have it fall again. Then to lift the first foot, and so on.
That's why it's called halakha -- from "halakh" -- "He walked."

Notes on a video, notes on a story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx4562gesw0
Particularly note 3:25 --> 8:20
--
"The wise man began to praise the king very, very highly. The king was very humble. Wherever he had greatness, he had humility. When a person is truly humble, the more he is praised and made great, the smaller and more humble he becomes. Therefore, when the wise man praised him and spoke of his greatness, the king became very small and humble, until he literally became nothing.
The king then could not hold himself back. He threw aside the curtain so as to see the wide man...who knew and understood all this. In doing so, however, the king revealed his face, and the sage saw him."
("The Humble King", Rabbi Nachman's Stories, by R. Aryeh Kaplan, pp. 134-135)
--
Think of momentum as...well, spiritual state. A mind hoIds many possible actions, hopes, fears..."position" might be thought of as a set of imagined situations, and "momentum" as one's ability to created a desired/undesired outcome from that situation. All other properties (Pauli exclusion, energy, mass, uncertainty) can also be transferred, with some work. I hope I get to do that work, but it might just remain here as a seed.
Learn humility from the neutron star. And, if you wish, learn much more. Why, in a "knowing-he-must-collapse" state, would the king be forced to open the curtain? Why, in that state, does he never (to the eyes of others) collapse?
I wish I knew how to better explain this...there is a lot of overlap between the phenomena described in that video, and this story.

Other notes:
1. With momentum comes frequency. There exists a lesson in Likutei Moharan (60-70 range) which describes the difference between someone learning from the tzaddik face to face and learning from a book, that they'll be energized "just right". If a star holds many frequencies, to the point where that space continually expands, then the process described in this video may be a good way to visualize the concepts of that lesson.
2. As far as Pauli exclusion principle applying in the world of mind. There exists another lesson in Likutei Moharan (unknown location) which describes a "ladder" of madregas/spiritual levels, and no two people can occupy the same position at the same time, and describes the dynamics of moving on that ladder. This video may be useful in visualizing that lesson as well.

I am working on youtube videos covering responses to a few different texts. Some of them are...edgy...and I am nervous that simple media inexperience will prevent them from working as they might.
One is already up: Principle of Syntropy. It's not good. I hope to re-upload once I've done a few more.
The next will likely be much longer, but iy''h at least slightly edited.
