Korach-Chukas - Moshe and the 600,000 Intertwined

Why does Korach refer to Hashem as 'in the midst' of the Jewish people, while he refers to Moshe as 'raising himself above' the Jewish people? Why does Moshe refer to himself as 'in the midst' of the 600,000 of Klal Yisrael? What is Moshe's unique connection to the 600,000? How is the sin Moshe does by striking the rock to bring forth water connected to him being placed in the water as an infant? How does this relate to the blessing of Yosef's children to 'multiply like fish,' and the fact that Moshe is born in Adar, whose Zodiac sign is the fish?

What was the core of the mistake of the spies? What made them unwilling to face the nations that inhabited Israel?

What is the concept of the light of Moshiach ben Yosef and his generation? Why does Moshiach need to be willing to be oppressed by the people of his generation? How does this parallel the interaction between the Jewish people and the nations of the world? How does each of these serve to atone for the very people that oppress them?

What is the secret of the blue thread of the tzitzis? How does it parallel the concept of the blue covering of the Aron (Ark)? How does one use one's eyes to change how one feels?
