[[A few minutes before Shabbos -- or if you forget, you can say itduring Shabbos -- you have to say "aranv mikabus anafshe ruchalminef rushe" -- "I'm receiving upon me and upon my soul theholiness of Shabbos."  Then you will have an inside Shabbos aswell as an outside Shabbos. {2}]]
  
[[R. Nachman says that G-d created the world in a way thateverything needs fixing, tiken.  Not merely things in the physicalworld, but everything -- schools, the way we follow our religion,the way we study and learn. To fix things is our privilege andresponsiblity as human beings.  Tiken h'olam.  G-d gave us thetools, and let us into His workshop, and now it's up to us.
Even Shabbos needs fixing, and the way we fix it is to take uponourselves the holiness of Shabbos.  {4}]]      

[[Lubavitch teaches that woman "is the finishing touch of thefixing the whole world", because she was the last thingcreated.{6}]]

[[Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day.  So after mid-day,Eve was supposed to prepare the food for Shabbos in the Pardes(Paradise).   She was supposed to prepare it from the Tree ofLife, but she got mixed up and prepared it from the Tree ofKnowlege, and so they had to leave Paradise just before Shabbos. So to fix Eve's mistake, Woman kindles Shabbat lights, which isputting the last finishing touch on the fixing of Shabbos. {6}]]  

[["Everybody is his own Rebbe in a certain deep way." {8})]]

[[The less we are fixed, the harder we have to work. {8}]]

[["The whole idea of receiving the holiness of Shabbos uponmyself, drawing the holiness of Shabbos upon me, is that I shoudlhave a little taste of having a fixed soul, of living in an"undestroyed"  [Cf. Lurianic mysticism] world.{110}]]

[[Everybody knows, all the Rebbes say, that Mincha erev Shabbos isthe strongest thing in the world.  Why?  Because Adam ha Rishonwas created at noon on the Sixth day.  So Reb Nachman says, thefirst prayer he had to daven was Mincha.  And if he had davenedthis Mincha properly it would have been the fixing of the wholeworld [tiken ha'olam].  But Adam ha Rishon didn't daven Minchathat first erev Shabbos because he was driven out of Paradise.  Sowe try to daven Mincha erev Shabbos to approach the level of Adamha Rishon on the first Shabbos, to fix that mistake. {10}]]  

[[Until my neshama is fixed, I will be angry at G-d.  To be fixedutmost is to know that there is one G-d.{12}]]

[[The highest thing in the Bet Hamikdash was the singing of theLeviim.[13}]]

[[You have to understand holy things with a holy mind.{14}  (Thisis why we say a b'racha before studying Torah).]]  

[[When I first realize that I can be fixed, that is simcha.  WhenI first get an inkling of what it would be like to be completelyfixed, that is oneg.  The Exodus from Egypt is simcha; Yom Kippuris oneg.  Oneg Shabbat is "a little taste of the utmost fixingthere is." -- {9} [20] ]] 

[[I only fight with someone if my tikken is different from histikken.  If I were fixed, I wouln't even want to fight with him, Iwould be at peace. -- {16}.]]                     

[[Shabbat is a great opportunity for healing.  But some peopleapproach it like a sick person who finally stumbles into ahospital, and when the healers ask, 'Can we help you' replies 'Nothank you, I'm just looking. '.  Many people don't really want tobe fixed, they want to stay the same.  {16}.]]

[[We learn from the Gemorrah that on every Shabbat we have theopportunity to be, in a sense, re-born, free of all our bad karma.The Sovichober says, when you take leave of your business Fridaynoon, you must not expect that you'll ever go back to it.-- freeparaphrase, sa from S-Shabos {16}]]      

[["To make kiddish is to want to fix myself with Shabbos." "Therefore kiddish is called kedusha.  Kiddish means kodesh -- thehighest level of holiness, the way it is in heaven, before itdescends into the world."  Kodesh is the highest fixing there is."-- from S-Shabos, {10}, [22]]]

[[There is a Shabbos before Creation, and the Shabbos afterCreation.  On Shabbos everything is doubled.  Reb Nachman says onShabbos we have two loaves of bread because we are celebrating twoshabboses. {19}.]]
