“Soul Tells” p: 167


AyinBase with R' Paltiel Wednesday 7 Tammuz 5772 

Page 167 – 5th line from the top of the page (line starts, 'ubevadie...') For text, see link top right of the blog. Or for text right click here.

We concluded saying that ohr ein sof, where the primal thought or the primal man comes from is on a completely different level from the man or thought. But since the origin is in the Kadmon without any other influence, hence the thought or the man represents the Kadmon/Ohr Ein sof on a lower level.

We relate to the fact that it is a different level, but called kadmon, from man below, who is called 'in Our image'. Man has the essential truth reflected in the man below.

The soul below is a metaphor for the way it is in Adam Kadmon (primal man), though they are completely different. The soul below brings down from the Adam HaElyon an actual aspect. This is a super-worldly element.

Man is a metaphor for Higher Man, but Primal Man is not a metaphor for Ohr Ein Sof.

The soul here below tells us things that are not substantiated by worldly experiences. Adam HaElyon – Higher Man – is a true G-dly presence. And we have a little bit of atzilus in us... at the Alte Rebbe says, 'an actual part of G-d', which we impose on the world.
