We
are looking at the principle of 'mochin chadashim' / new mind. This
is beyond the essence of any revealed current mind...
there
are 2 principles of the ten sphirot – 'mah' and 'ban' – mah is
bitul and ban is yesh. And there are 10 sphirot in both of these
denominations.
The
ein sof is beyond the framework of the sphirot...
Remote
even from the sphirot that are above atzilus...
We
have to remind ourselves of what we mean when we talk of ohr/light.
We think okay, so there's light in the room. No big deal. Light
that is made from burning a fuel is not light from an essence. An
essence has light.
How
does the presence of the host affect the guest? The way the presence
of the host affects the situation, is called light/ohr. He is so
real, that you value his presence, and you are affected by his
ohr/light. And if he leaves it would be a 'total let-down' and while
he is there the meal has a totally different significance. His
presence bestows on you his ohr/light. And you sense yourself to be
in his light. And your own truth surfaces by being at a friendly
communal meal...
That
sense of reality cannot be replaced by anything.
It
is an intangible type of relationship without any tangible
translation...
In
the light there are sphirot. The host invites the guests and serves
dinner. The serving dinner represents a certain sphirah. 'I am
expressing my presence with you, through this particular avenue...'
These means of expression are definitive qualities.
Sphirot
above atzilut cannot be contained in a vessel. In the metaphor of
the host and quest, the serving of the meal is the vessel... it is a
subset of their relationship. It is a concrete representation.
The
actual presence of the host is a light without a vessel.
A
human being is a very fine mashal/metaphor for atzmus/essence. He is
made in Our image says G-d. He has an element of truth beyond any
other aspect in the world. Man's presence alone, regardless of his
function is essential.
Chochmah
has the framework of a 'point' and binah is hispashtus – spreading.
This is like learning. You focus on a topic and the insight is a
point/chochmah, and then you apply the principle, and this is the
expansion – binah.
The
bottom line: 'there is no such thing in Essence – He is beyond the
framework of sphirot or anything!'
No
matter the amount of information there is the ongoing search for 'the
point' – chochmah. All sechel emanates from something above
sechel. We are looking to see where it all comes from.
