“Source, Far and Close” p:55

We are into the principle of binah being the higher king... Binah is the beginning of 'world' and the process of creation begins from binah and not from chochmah. Chochmah is called the further source... Binah is the close source.

A far source is a kind of enabler or facilitator. The close source actually provides for the inspiration and content.

A source is imperative. Without it you have no thing...

Chochmah is like the open field providing unlimited space. The principle of the close source... is that the actual thing is initiated by this source...

A man can have mind and emotions and faculties, but if he doesn't have a home he is sorely lacking.


A human being should have no concerns of sustenance. He must be provided for by his Maker, who sent him into the world to do his mission.

This is what the mishnah says. Man is here to represent His Creator, not build himself up.

When a man has a home, it means he really a full fledged presence in the world. He's not just here, 'where his food it'. He has a set place from where he builds the world.

The home is like the distance source... the permission to speak regarding the community. But the 'close source' is the knowledge based on active participation with the community in the house and beyond.

It is an error to perceive things in the world as reactive. A car is not conceived at the time when the engine was made. It was in mind since humans came to the world and knew that the whole world belongs to them. It is based in the soul quality of the human being...
