“Remaining Hidden” p: 45


AyinBase with R' Paltiel p: 45 6/10/2011 Friday 8 Sivan 5771 
  
Page 45 – above mid point of the page (line starts: key inyan...)

The reshima/trace is the ohr ein sof as a point. The beginning of the emanation of worlds is in atzilus – in chochmah of atzilus. The principle element of creation is in the worlds of biya – above that is the element of ohr ein sof (in finite light, from His perspective).

Atzilus is the beginning of the creation of world. You have 10 sphirot in vessels. 

Before atzilus all is still hidden/be helem. Things are in their source.

Once you have something in mind, it is a real entity and one has the urge to discuss it. It doen't need to stay hidden even though sechel is a soul element it is fit for revelation. Ratzon/will on the other hand cannot be explained. It remains connected to the 'one who wants'. It remains hidden/behelem and not identified on its own.

Thought, speech and deed are active faculties. Even simple actions need to be held in sechel/mind. Even when one digs a ditch, one has to know the purpose.  

In the same way atzilus is a source for the lower wordls of biyah. This is like thought preceding/encompassing even the simplest actions.

The process of the sphirot provide the basis for the worlds coming later. Sechel is not the tool to figure things out in the world. Sechel/mind reveals how the soul relates to things.

Higher than sechel you could not think of creating something, you would have the obvious reality itself. Sechel is the intermediary – between infinity and the world.
