“Bear Witness” p 58

~


Chochmah is first because it is completely self nullifying. It speaks of the truth and its origin, and not of its own experience. It represents the truth that precedes the tzimtzum.”

Page 58 [of the pamphlet] middle of the page – line starts: 'bchinat'. (P45 in the book)

We are describing the effect of the tzimtzum/contraction. The infinite light is contracted, but it remains. Even science is at a loss as to why matter cannot be destroyed. It is a phenomenon that indicates the infinity from which it comes. The root of matter is God's will.


The removal of the overtly infinite element allows for definition and world to surface.

The first thing to surface after the tzimtzum is the first of the 10 sphirot which is the element of chochmah/wisdom.

Chochmah is first because it is completely self nullifying. It speaks of the truth and its origin, and not of its own experience. It represents the truth that precedes the tzimtzum.

In the sphirah of binah it becomes 'my knowledge' – convincing to the person rather than just, 'I see it'.

Chochmah is the bridge. It joins the infinity to the finite world...
