So the purification of the animal soul results in the 'download' of essence...

...and the essence does not nullify the vessels. The vessels remain with essence...!

Yesterday we were looking at the way the vessels above are purified... and we looked at what constitutes the purification of a vessel. The Rebbe identifies chochmah/wisdom and its vessel, and the way the vessel is like the light. This was compared to our faculty of sight.


In an instant you can see a limitless vista – in a second. This indicates that it is perception 'beyond vessels/keilim'. This is because the vessel of sight is so pure and accepting it can receive the full light. It does not have to translate the light into its terms to relate to it. Sight connects us to the world. It is real.


The effect of purification/birurim is that all the vessels become like this...

We looked at an object like a table, where the physicality is d-emphasized and it relates to the human quality – that is birur/refinement. By this Godliness/essence is drawn down into the world.

But the world sets up a challenge and says, 'you are pursuing an intangible reality, you are imagining'. And we answer, 'it is intangible, but it is real. It is so real you can't touch it. It is more real than world. It is the source of the world.'

And the 'dwelling place below' is this containment of essence in the vessels/things of the world. The Godly soul already has this, but by means of the purification of the animal soul there is a new revelation.

Here in this lowest world there is a clear enemy. It is an either, or situation. And that's why only here can purification take place.

Only souls, since they are rooted in essence, have the ability to execute this refinement/purification.

Essence is here, not because there is a world. It cannot, not be. There is a step of 'giving one's soul' – and you may ask, 'so where are you going?!' and the answer is, 'I am going to find the truth in nothingness'. And there's a level of 'I'll go for it', even if I won't be there...!
