Aim:
to recognize that the light itself also has an element of
limit/definition. This is counter-intuitive if we have a sense of
what light is...! Light is a direct reflection of the essence – it
imports the essence.
Ohr/light
is really the human presence. And this is illusive, since we don't
think of him in these terms. This presence is a primary, essential
presence. It is not measured by his accomplishments and what he can
do. His presence changes the world.
By
contrast an animal is reactive. It does not have a sense of reality.
The human being has a completely different view of things. He
senses that the world is real, and he asks, 'who makes this world?'
The
human being brings to the world its fundamental value.
And
human ownership is of a primary nature. He owns things by virtue of
a Godly mandate.
Think
of the home you own or rent... your presence fills the entire home.
This
is a Godly gift. Your light – your presence – you name fills
your home. This presence is representative of the human being
himself.
His
soul contains everything. He is everything and everywhere.
It
is impossible to say the light is limitless, because otherwise it
would not be ablel to be translated in a fitting manner to finite
human activities.
Adam
saw all not due to its physical presence, but due to the Godly
element in it...
Light
that has no limit at all cannot be imbued in a vessel that does have
a limit.
