“Making it Real“ p: 56

Page 56 – about a third from the top of the page (line starts: “de-ikar...”).

Truth refers to the element of an object that is not part of its own structure. Like the space it occupies, that is the fundamental reality.

This is the difference between chochmah and binah. Binah argues and substantiates. Chochmah simply perceives it from a reality perspective – 'that is the way it should be'. This is why it is called ein/nothing. It is nothing, but it is the real yesh – the most real. Not the yeshus of binah, but the quality that makes things real.

Everything comes from above. Things don't make themselves. We think 'we made this canister from a piece of metal – wrong. This form existed before the metal was found...'

Chochmah has the concept but on the ein/nothing level.

We have ein of malchus relative to the yesh of briah. The nothing of malchus provides for the yesh of binah.
