A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Tanya - Shar HaYichud VaHaemunah Chapter 9 Hashem is truly One Hashem is so one with everything that there is no levels. Even the highest level for us namely Chochma which is 5 huge levels higher than Asiya to Hashem Chochma is Like Asiyah as it says כולם בחכמה עשית. Hashem so far removed from Chochma greater than Chochma to Asiyah (we use that as an example as that’s our paradigm) that to even relate that two is ridiculous. This that Hashem is referenced to as Chochma, Rachum or Chesed as these attributes come from him he’s their source of existence. This that these attributes come from Hashem & at the same time Hashem is so far removed is known to the משכילים of Kabbalah that there are 3 צמצומים namely the Tzimzum in the אור א״ס & the Tzimzum of אדם קדמון & the Tzimzum of סוד הדיקנא that allows the the vessels of Chabad than you can talk about יודע and מדע of Hashem. However us simple people need to have אמונה שלימה complete faith that Hashem & all the attributes ie emotions, will, intellect, Essence is so high & the fact that it unites with the emotions is not comprehensible and the Zohar refers to the midot ie the Sefirot as רזא דמהימנותא which high level of faith above intellect.
