ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE is the Fifth Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," the six-part miniseries on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). In this Fifth Episode of this series, we arrive at the main thesis of this unique rumination, an entirely novel idea that springs out of the theme of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * Upon the completion of the Ma'amer's opening segue that elucidated several of the cherished Basi L'Gani themes, added much novelty and illumination, we went on complete the introductory portion and clarify the primary thrust of this year's uniquely theme of Light and Power with a new dimension of Vital Animation. In our immediate past a range of esoteric Torah teachings was introduced to elucidate the Secret of Light we learnt about in the First Episode of this series. This Episode break new ground by focusing on Creation in Name, and the accompanying title concealment it brings in tow. This becomes the platform for a seeming contradiction of terms and challenge to the entire thesis itself! Does Adam’s brilliance in identifying quantum spiritual energy within G-d’s Creation eclipse the Divine Creative Light, and do names represent concealment or exposure of existence? Finally, a rose by any other name thickens the plot, and we contemplate the contrast of illumination vs obfuscation, and are forced to ask: will the real animator please rise? _______________________________ * The Ma’amarim of Basi L’Gani, are a collection of more than 40 uniquely themed Chassidic Discourses that were delivered by The Rebbe on, or in proximity to Yud Shvat, the Yartzeit-Hilulah of his predecessor Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, between the years of 5711 and 5748 (1951 – 1988). All these ruminations were directly based on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani, 5710, which was released by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok on the eve of his terrestrial passing. This [original] Ma’amer is widely regarded as the Previous Rebbe’s Last Will and Testament, and our Rebbe used its themes as guiding lights for the unique mission of our Seventh Generation [of Chabad-Lubavitch] Chassidim. Kindred in containing many common concepts or ideas, each discourse incorporates a remarkably wide range of mystical Torah teachings and always radiates with multiple novel, fresh and creative insights. The original rumination contains Twenty Chapters, and for nearly four decades, annually (in orderly successive fashion) the Rebbe would elaborate on themes found in a specific chapter, by delivering one or more Ma’amarim (formal dissertations of original Chassidic Teachings) almost always opening with the Midrashic words “Basi L’Gani.” This year, 5784, we are – once again – focused on Chapter Fourteen. As such, the discourses of 5724 (1964) and 5744 (1984) are studied by the global Chasidic community during the Yud Shvat season.
