Divinity as The Divine Presence in Our World

Divinity as the divine presence in our world, is what is referred to as 'the collateral'. It's the presence, and the presence is the reminder. She's the one who gives life, nourishes and enables us to exist, and she's the condition of the being in reality. She's the condition of the possibility of being, of human consciousness at the level of being, in reality.

This presence does not exist in the majority of human beings. It is concealed from their consciousness, and that is what we call divinity exile, not being conscious of her presence, function and service to our life. In order to have any meaning to belief, our endeavor and purpose is to call back this presence to guide, to nourish, to be the leader and guide of our life. The presence of divinity is almost a condition for having a true, living belief because she's the part of the Self, the will of the Creator.

One can say that the evolution of this thought is embedded in the Zohar. The form of why we actually study is to call back that divine presence to our life, study and prayer because otherwise it's dead. Otherwise, it has to do with our will. Without its presence, there is no dialogue with the will of the Creator.
