The lights are also expressions, but they come in a manner which keeps their attachment to the source (as opposed to keilim/vessels).


Infinity emanates to the lights. These lights continue to represent their source.


No light will say, 'I am here because what I am saying is true'. It rather says, 'I am here because the infinite light is here'.

One needs to have 'self-respect'. This is not an ego thing. It is not about your own value. It is about what you represent, where you are coming from.
Even though the light/kav is after the tzimtzum, yet still it draws directly from the infinite light that precedes the tzimtzum.

Torah law is based above. It is different from civil law. Yet it comes down below. It provides Godly judgement in a worldly context. It is based on the presence of God, not on the presence of the dispute.

The Rambam, says the first principle is that 'there is a First Being'. And how is that relevant to practical law? It is this principle that gives presence to all laws in the Torah. All exists because there is a True Presence...

The journey of the kav/light is by means of a dilug/jump.
