Page 59 [of the pamphlet] 5th line of the page – line starts: 'eino'. (P45 in the book)

Even when the infinite light is removed, its impression remains. The basis of kedusha/holiness is never totally uprooted.

It does not subscribe to worldly rules. Holiness is not limited by presence and absence. It goes back to the Source of sources.

So even when its expression is removed it is not totally uprooted.

But only a trace remains after the tzimtzum/contraction. The principle of a trace means that it does not impose itself on you. But if you look to see it – it is there...

This trace/roshem is an element of the infinity that rests in chochmah/wisdom.

This is like sight. It can relate to reality, without seeking a personal relationship to it... [a fool seeks personal experience, a wise man seeks truth...]

Chochma is not a vessel/keili for infinity. It observes infinity. It does not find infinity by investigation. It see because it is shown.

Here's a map of today's shiur, prepared by Michoel Pais:

Map of today's shiur 29 Kislev

Post tzimtzum:

Impression of the Ohr ein sof remains.

Rule: Any thing of Kedushah is never totally uprooted from its place. 

Kedushah - Removed from world. Not bound by wordly rules. (Worldly rule: it is either there or not there)

Why? B/c returns to Source of Sources. He is always "there".

Oir ein sof becomes non imposing, but impression still remains. 

This is bhinas ohr ein sof that rests in Chochmah.

Principle of resting in Chochmah:

Ex:Sight. See w/o personal experience/verification. 

Sub ex: Sky. Seems real! Even w/o grabbing it.

Fool seeks personal experience.

Wise man seeks emes

Chochmah observes ohr ein sof. 

No investigation needed. No seeking.

Ohr ein sof doesn't go away, it conceals itself.

Silug haOhr

Ex: House becomes Home. Encompasses/provides for all facets of human life. Furniture setup accordingly.

Ex: Lift the walls! 

Reality left bare. 

(In case one thought it was all there due to walls, shelter, etc, now one sees that it was exclusively due to reality of home)

Ex #2) pilgrims in wasteland/jungle of america. Q: Where does the projection of inhabiting the land come from?

Human invention vs Meant to be inhabited

There is a Roshem/Impression of the Creator in all that exists. 

This is seen and identified by Chochmah.

^Chichmah is called Emes b/c Ohr Ein Sof Rests in it.

Rests: Finds a place. Is comfortable. 

One cannot rest on the street, even on a comfortable bed!

In Chochmah is mislabesh the Ohr haSovev in bhinas pnimius. 

Ohr haSovev is a makif, it cannot be mislabesh! In chochmah, it is.

BHinas Pnimius: it understands the sovev. Relates to it. Unique inyon of Chochmah.

Binah needs keilim. "What do you see there?"

Chochmah doesnt need that.

Ohr haSovev itself is bhinas pnimius
