We are being introduced to a revelation call shem mah atzmo. Chitzonius is the definition of hishtalshalus. Chitzonius is how the ohr apprears. But it has an element of pnimius – it is rooted in the pnimius, but it takes a whole seder hishtalshalus to “hit on” the pnimius. The whole seder is needed to show there is a real essence there.
The pnimius is what is pushing the chitzonius to “roll down”. It pushes it down till it reaches a common ground till the external / chitzoni and the internal / pnimi coincide. But this is on a low level.
Atzmus shem mah is in contrast to the ha-arah of the shem mah that worked on shem ban. The essential level is not really seder hishtalshalus. The start of the hamshacha is pnimius, which is the head of atik – the element of the pnimius ha kesser / crown.
This is like the difference between chochmah and ratzon – chochmah is “the way you look at the ratzon from outside – not the essence of it” but ratzon has its own presence.
Similarly here, this is pnimius ha-kesser, which is not a message it is the thing itself.
After there has been a birur the whole seder hishtalshalus, can change from being an expression or a message, to being essence.
The birur works over shem ban which was a yesh, till it is purified and becomes a true metziut / entity, till it becomes absorbed in shem mah.
We said about chochmah that it is also a flow from kesser, except it only gets the ein. The real yesh of kesser it doesn't get. It cannot come down. The yeshus of shem ban, by contrast is a precarious yeshus, it says, “i made myself, and there is nothing else”, but the fact that it makes a declaration indicates yeshus on a conscious level. A true yesh, which is not yet found in our world will be the real state of revealing the yeshus of elokus. This is like yechidah – the real yeshus, that has no connection with, or corresponding level in klipah.
