We
have discussed that there is a tzelem/form, which is the presenting
of the principle of adam/man. We have the man above – man of
atzilus -adam ha-elyon, that comes down to different levels.
Thought/machshavah,
means that there are 2 elements – the thought itself and the
content of the thought.
Thought
is a reduction from the light/concept itself. So too a lower world
is a reduction of what was present in a higher world. Atzilus and
adam ha-elyon is above world – part of G-dliness. Yet it is call
a world. This is higher than briah (which corresponds to thought).
In what way is atzilus a world – with the 2 aspects of form and
content? Soul/neshamah is beyond this – no separation between
content and presentation. Atzilus does have an element of separation
– ohrot/ights and keilim/vessels.
Keili/vessel
is what gives the light a presence. It is not just pure truth. It
is a presentation. So atzilus is a world. 10 lights and 10 vessels
and thus it can be called asiya of olam de klalus.
Above
in akudim all content is in a single vessel. It is also part of
world, but a higher world. On the level of yetzirah because there is
not a presence of every detail.
The
Rebbe is making the point that, that which ends up in the world of
asiya/action is a replica of that which is defined in the level of
dibur/speech.
Keduma
means pristine. Not preceded by a previous thought. Machshavha
hakduma is the first thought. There was no tzelem/form preceding it.
From where is its form? Thought represents the neshamah and is
initial.
