=== Influence on Other Faculties === The spark of Moshiach influences all faculties of the soul and enables a deeper connection with Elokut (G-dliness). The various faculties of the soul possess different characteristics, and therefore their connection with Elokut is measured according to each faculty's perception and recognition of G-dliness. As a result, the connection they form with Elokut is measured and limited according to their characteristics. In contrast, the spark of Moshiach creates an "essential connection" that is unlimited, and through its revelation, this connection is felt in all faculties, so that they too experience an essential connection with Elokut, expressed through absolute dedication and self-nullification to G-dliness. Additionally, the spark of Moshiach consumes and nullifies the negative tendencies in a person's soul "automatically," because in relation to its level of connection to Elokut, those things that oppose G-dliness have no significance whatsoever. This is one of the reasons this faculty is called a 'spark' - like a spark of fire that consumes, burns, and spreads by itself. The influence of the spark is an 'internal' influence. And the power of the spark's revelation can affect 'all' faculties together. Similarly, the spark of Moshiach affects all the soul faculties of a Jew in an internal manner. This is because the spark of Moshiach is the 'essence' of all faculties, and all faculties are revealed illuminations from it; therefore, its revelation affects them because it is their essence. The revelation of the spark in the soul's faculties is a "chiddush" (innovation). Since the connection of the soul's faculties with Elokut is a connection of "revelations" - two separate entities connecting to each other, requiring constant renewed awakening in order to influence them with renewed divine powers. In contrast, the connection of the spark of Moshiach is an essential connection - in its very existence it is one with Elokut, which is an incomparably higher type of connection. Therefore, its renewal is constant, and through its connection with other parts of the soul, it creates a "chiddush" in all types of connections in all faculties. This is why the future redemption of Israel is called a "chiddush" in the blessing for the sanctification of the new moon, where we say: "they (the people of Israel) are destined to be renewed like it."
