The 12th Principle

The 14th Principle
How one counts the modes of punishment as positive Mitzvot.
Animals do not gaze at the stars and angels are confined to the realm of the spirit, but Man is G-d's bridge between heaven and earth.Our bodies are formed from the dust, our souls are of the essence of G-d. We alone can look at a physical world and see spiritual life and beauty. We who are beyond both heaven and earth, form and matter, spirit and body -- we alone can fuse the two.
