“Delight at the Threshold” p: 29

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel Wednesday 25 Tammuz 5773


Page 29 (chuf tet). At 11th line of the page – (line begins: 'bichlal...') For text, click: Here.

All the faculties are first included in the moach/brain. The oneg of the soul is distant from the faculties, but it can relate to chochmah/wisdom.

There is something unique in chochmah that facilitates the transition of onge/delight onwards.

Since it is the highest of the revealed faculties, chochmah is a fitting vessel for receiving the essential lights (orot atzmi-im) of the soul.


Essential means 'true-in-and-of-itself'. Without that things are reduced to the level of 'cause and effect'. We say the soul is a Godly presence. And Godly means essential. From this essential reality of the soul come lights – means by which the soul makes its very presence know...

The revelation of these essential lights is in the form of kochot makifim (surrounding faculties).

Makif/surrounding is that which provides a context.
