"I shall dwell in Your tent forever." -Psalms 61:5
"Forever" means in every universe.
An ancient rabbi asked, "Can anyone expect to live in two worlds at the same time? In the world and in the world beyond?
Yes. When a teacher departs from his world and his students repeat his teaching, at that every moment his lips speak speak from beyond the grave and say,
"I am living in two worlds;
in the world I left
and in the world where I am now." -Yevamot 77a, see Rashi
We all come from place of great holiness. We left there when first conceived. Deep in our unconscious we still remember fragments, even as this world demands our attention.
