We are being introduced to another level in the topic of sphirot. And also in shem Mah. There is a reflection of shem Mah that is recognized... this is an aspect of crown/kesser that is recognized in chochmah/mind...

This was the original intent, that this lofty level of infinity, will be sensed in the lower levels... that are oriented to time, space and definition!

So the chochmah stay as chochmah but it has a reflection of kesser. This reflection provides guidance of what is the truth...

And what about the level of the animal – shem Ban? There is enormous excitement and impact. There is submission to the truth but the identity of the recipient is not changed. It is not yet a thorough birur/refinement.

This excitement is a precursor to something much greater...!

Next is the arrival at a higher level.

After excitement comes the realization that the shem Mah is present in this world... the truth of shem Ban...

He's still in a vessel, but there is a quiet voice, and the King is seen, and all definitions vanish and excitement leaves and it is reality itself.

Eyesight is a metaphor for this. It is a faculty. But its activity is accomplished by its bitul/nullification, not its activity. It is a clear channel.

The goal is not to destroy your whole personality. Do not set nullification as a goal. Nullification/bitul follows perception of a higher light. I put myself aside to relate to the light...

How does a body accommodate light? They are different realities. And yet the soul/life activates the body to such an extent we say, 'the body is alive', and this is an accurate description... this is due to the chochmah/wisdom element. It brings life into the body. Chochmah is in the brain. The most sensive organ. It senses live. Chochmah is the bridge. It is a faculty, yet it absorbs the entire light/ohr.
