הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ הוּא לְמַעְלָה מֵהַזְּמַן, כַּמּוּבָא. וְזֶה הָעִנְיָן הוּא בֶּאֱמֶת דָּבָר נִפְלָא וְנֶעְלָם מְאֹד, וְאִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהָבִין זֹאת בְּשֵׂכֶל אֱנוֹשִׁי.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
God is beyond time, as is brought. This matter is, in truth, very amazing and mysterious. It is impossible for the human mind to comprehend it.

אַךְ דַּע, שֶׁעִקָּר הַזְּמַן הוּא רַק מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאֵין מְבִינִים, דְּהַיְנוּ מֵחֲמַת שֶׁשִּׂכְלֵנוּ קָטָן, כִּי כָל מַה שֶּׁהַשֵּׂכֶל גָּדוֹל בְּיוֹתֵר, הַזְּמַן נִקְטָן וְנִתְבַּטֵּל בְּיוֹתֵר.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
But know! time essentially stems from nothing but our deficient comprehension—i.e., because our intellects are limited. For the greater the intellect, the more time contracts and is nullified.

כִּי בַּחֲלוֹם, שֶׁאָז הַשֵּׂכֶל נִסְתַּלֵּק, וְאֵין לוֹ רַק כֹּחַ הַמְדַמֶּה, אֲזַי בְּרֶבַע שָׁעָה יְכוֹלִים לַעֲבֹר כָּל הַשִּׁבְעִים שָׁנָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר נִדְמֶה בַּחֲלוֹם, שֶׁעוֹבֵר וְהוֹלֵךְ כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה זְמַנִּים בְּשָׁעָה מוּעֶטֶת מְאֹד, וְאַחַר־כָּךְ כְּשֶׁנִּתְעוֹרְרִים מֵהַשֵּׁנָה, אֲזַי רוֹאִים, שֶׁכָּל אֵלּוּ הַזְּמַנִּים וְהַשִּׁבְעִים שָׁנָה שֶׁעָבְרוּ בַּחֲלוֹם, הוּא זְמַן מֻעָט מְאֹד בֶּאֱמֶת. וְזֶה מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאַחַר־כָּךְ בְּהָקִיץ אָז חוֹזֵר הַשֵּׂכֶל אֵלָיו, וְאֵצֶל הַשֵּׂכֶל כָּל אֵלּוּ הַשִּׁבְעִים שָׁנָה שֶׁעָבְרוּ בַּחֲלוֹם הֵם רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה אֶצְלוֹ, רַק שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה מַמָּשׁ, הֵם שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה גַּם אֵצֶל הַשֵּׂכֶל שֶׁלָּנוּ.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is why in dreams, since the intellect departs and one has only the power of imagination, it is then possible for a full seventy years to elapse in a quarter-hour. While dreaming, it seems that many seasons pass quickly, in an extremely short while. Then afterwards, when one awakes from sleeping, one sees that all these seasons and the seventy years which passed in the dream were, in reality, a very brief period. The reason for this is that, afterwards, while awake, the intellect returns to him. For the intellect, all these seventy years which passed in the dream are only a quarter-hour. Only an actual seventy years is seventy years for our intellect as well.

וּבֶאֱמֶת בְּהַשֵּׂכֶל הַגָּבוֹהַּ לְמַעְלָה מִשִּׂכְלֵנוּ, גַּם מַה שֶּׁנֶּחֱשָׁב אֶצְלֵנוּ לְשִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה מַמָּשׁ הוּא גַם־כֵּן רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה אוֹ פָּחוֹת. כִּי כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָנוּ רוֹאִין שֶׁיְּכוֹלִין לַעֲבֹר שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה בַּחֲלוֹם, וּבֶאֱמֶת אָנוּ יוֹדְעִין אַחַר־כָּךְ בַּשֵּׂכֶל שֶׁלָּנוּ שֶׁהוּא רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה, כְּמוֹ־כֵן מַמָּשׁ, מַה שֶּׁנֶּחֱשָׁב לְפִי שִׂכְלֵנוּ שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה מַמָּשׁ, הוּא בַּשֵּׂכֶל הַגָּבוֹהַּ לְמַעְלָה יוֹתֵר רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה, רַק שֶׁאֵין אָנוּ מְבִינִים זֹאת.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
In reality, to the intellect which is on a higher plane than ours, that which we consider to be an actual seventy years is also a quarter-hour or less. Just as we see that it is possible for seventy years to elapse in a dream, and afterwards our intellect knows that it was actually only a quarter-hour, so too, exactly, what our intellect considers to be an actual seventy years is, to a higher plane intellect, only a quarter-hour. It is just that we do not comprehend this.

כִּי גַּם בַּחֲלוֹם אִם הָיָה אֶחָד בָּא אֶצְלוֹ בִּשְׁעַת הַחֲלוֹם וְהָיָה אוֹמֵר לוֹ, שֶׁכָּל זֶה שֶׁנִּדְמֶה לוֹ שֶׁעוֹבְרִים יָמִים וְשָׁנִים, שֶׁבֶּאֱמֶת אֵינָם כְּלוּם, וְהַכֹּל הוּא רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה – בְּוַדַּאי לֹא הָיָה מַאֲמִין לוֹ כְּלָל, כִּי לְפִי הַדִּמְיוֹן שֶׁבַּחֲלוֹם נִדְמֶה לוֹ שֶׁעוֹבְרִים יָמִים וְשָׁנִים מַמָּשׁ; כְּמוֹ־כֵן מַמָּשׁ, אַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁאֶצְלֵנוּ לְפִי שִׂכְלֵנוּ נִדְמֶה שֶׁזֶּהוּ זְמַן שֶׁל שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה, בַּשֵּׂכֶל הַגָּדוֹל יוֹתֵר הוּא רַק רֶבַע שָׁעָה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
For also in a dream, if someone would come to a person during the dream and tell him that all the days and years which seem to him to be passing are, in reality, nothing—the whole thing is only a quarter-hour—he surely would not believe him at all, since, according to the fantasy of the dream, it seems to him that actual days and years are passing. It is exactly the same thing; although to us, according to our intellect, it seems that this is a period of seventy years, to a higher intellect it is only a quarter-hour.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
So too, from level to level. To the intellect that is higher still, that time [which seems genuine] to the intellect [immediately] higher than ours, is reckoned as nothing to that higher intellect, only as a minutely brief period. And so on, higher and higher, up to that intellect which is so lofty that all time is of no consequence whatsoever. On account of the intellect being so very great, the entirety of time is utterly non-existent and naught. Just as for us the seventy years that pass in a dream are really only a quarter-hour, as mentioned above, likewise, there are ever higher levels of intellect, until time is nullified completely.

**2.** Therefore, Mashiach, who has endured what he has endured ever since the creation of the world, and suffered what he has suffered, after all this, God will in the end say to him: “You are My son. I gave birth to you this day” (Psalms 2:7).

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
At first glance this matter is very perplexing and amazing. However, it is all due to the great power of Mashiach’s intellect. According to the great level he will have grasped then, and on account of the tremendous power of his intellect which will increase immensely then, all the time which passed from the creation of the world till that time will literally be totally non-existent and naught. It will be exactly as if he was born that day. All of time will be nullified within his intellect, which will be extremely great. Therefore, God will say to him: “I gave birth to you this day”—literally, “this day,” because all the time which passed will be utterly non-existent and naught.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
**3.** We see the same with regard to space. A powerful individual can cross a large area in a short time. It follows, that for him all that space is small, whereas for the weak it is considered a large space, and it takes them a considerable amount of time to cross it. So too, from level to level. The greater the strength, the more the space contracts for him.

The same is true higher and higher, until space is nullified completely. It is just that with our intellect we cannot comprehend all this. Just as it is impossible to comprehend the truth in a dream—that all that time which seems to exist in a dream is in reality nothing—similarly, it is impossible for us to comprehend that up above, in the higher intellect, all our time is nothing, as mentioned above.
