We looked at the two ways tynug is distributed. Within the structure and between structures. Within a human for example, all his tynug flows through his chochmah. It is realized differently in the foot and the head, but the head can relate to the foot.

Between systems it is different. From the garden of eden to this world is a gap. This means the pleasure of this world is the refuse of the world of gan eden.

The root of each garden and of all pleasure is from the world of atzilus. The 4 categories of inanimate through “speakers” exist also in this world.

Atzilus serves at the intermediary between the ohr ein sof hama-atzil and the creation. One can have a concept of a table, but to build it, the concept is not sufficient. He has to decide the shape and materials – these are “add-ons” to the concept, yet you cannot create an absolute table. There is not such thing as a pure table. The shapes and materials are what allow the table to exist on the worldly level. This is creation. Everything about it is for the purpose of making it be. The Creatore – Ma-atzil, doesn't have any of these “add-ons” - it doesn't have the problem of “presentation” - it exists due to the truth itself. Chochmah/atzilus is this intermediary between purity and presentation.

Atzilus is a good representation of that which is above it. This is the first step towards creation.

Sechel can see the thing in its pure state – and it doesn't even know what it is looking at.
