What do we mean when we talk about light/ohr? And the sun itself is confusing...

And we say 'ohr ein sof' is some kind of energy that is emanating...

So we need to remember: our primary example of light is a person. A person has the properties of truth and reality – the qualities of the Creator. Human life cannot be measured by functionality. The human being bears testimony to the world being a Godly creation.


The human being creates a domain. He has a home. The home is his place in the world. He 'owns' it. Every crack and crevice of his home is part of his domain. It has nothing to do with functionality. This is representative of ohr/light. Influence extending beyond himself.

The world was intentionally created. And the human being has an element of this intention and truth.

From the truth of His Presence came forth all the creations.

Only and essence has light.

Human ownership is not due to claim and protection. It is due to his reality. This is due to the 'light/ohr' of the human being.

But you cannot think of the Empire State Buiding as you personal home. This is to say the ohr of the human being is finite. It is limited by his intellect. Man is essential, but he is a created essence. A limited representative.

Hashem is without limit. His awareness is limitless and hence His light is ein sof... it is everywhere. It is automatically eveything. There is no domain to large for Atzmus/essence.

Know, 'He is everywhere and knows every detail that is going on. A small mosquito in the center of the earth does not escape his observation...'
