There are names of God that may never be erased. These names each refer to a different sphirah. There's a name that refers to kindness/chesed. And the reference here is not to the 'light' of kindness, but rather to the 'vessel' of kindness. Which is call 'actual kindness' – the 'form' of kindness – chesed mamash.

But then we turn around and say, the names refer to Him Himself. So yes, it is is in the vessel, but in the light and vitality of the vessel. This is the vitality that makes the vessel exist (as opposed to the light that fills the vessel).


This vitality of the vessel is actually rooted in the reshimu/trace.


And what is the reshimu/trace. Think of a man getting out of bed – sechel/mind won't do it – an essential element is needed. The actual getting up is a factual element – it is a vessel – it is a summation – and it is based on, 'hey, this is reality!' This reality is a sense in a person that he has an element that is beyond his own sechel/mind and feelings. He is part of a bigger reality and must participate in it. This is what gets him up.

And the reshimu/trace is like this. When you realize a primary truth, you can communicate the external words that can contain your sechel/ideas.
