He doesn't fall down


Aeter with R' Paltiel 8/27/09 Thursday 7 Elul 5769 Page: Pay

Page Pay – 7 lines from the top.

Malchus of atzilus is in a different realm from the created worlds – atzilus is not a created world. Atzilus is the sphirah as it is in elokus – gilui hahelem.

To demarcate between atzilus and briah one could say this is like the difference between chochmah and binah. Binah has a format – chochmah looks at the thing as it is. Chochma is like a mashal for atzilus. Atzilus and briah are on completely different levels.

In olam/world – no matter how high it is – it has the trait of having been brought into being. As opposed to elokus that is an original presence. When we see something we have the experience that it was there before. This is like chochma – sight and chochma relate to that which proceeds them – this is like atzilus.

Briah and binah (and the other 5 senses, aprart from sight) have the sensation of things coming into being.

With the aspect of hisnasus/exaltedness – the people and the king relate and don't have to understand each other. Malchus is when the king reflects and recognizes the greatness and glory of the experience that he has – and that he bestows on the people.

Hisnasus means he's devoid of any limitations/challenges. This is a feature that can be a defining factor. He sees that everything is the world falls down – and he doesn't fall down.

This is not a relative quality – you explain something to another person – you can explain it when it is no longer your sechel – then you can explain to another. The king recognizes things from this universal level.
