We are talking about principle of cleaving. By means of this cleaving to its source there can be a created entity that is unified with its source. There can be a recognition of essence – 'the real thing' – and then there is no other presence.

The message is not a depressing, 'you're nothing', but rather the uplifting message of there is the 'real thing' (yesh ha-emiti) in everything! This is like when the host is at the table everything is there. The meal has infinite more importance than just being a meal when he is there with you.

Essence does not negate anything. On the contrary it provides for everything. It provides essential reality not quality. (ohr ein sof provides qualities) Knowing that the world is a G-dly creation, does not merely subjugate the world to Him, but rather provided a totally different message, and the entire presence of the world changes. It assumes a totally different value and message. The world becomes the garments of the King. And when you embrace the garments, you have Him within them.

The soldier can perform super-human tasks on the front-line due to his connection to the king.

After the light is contracted then then the re-introduction of the light is by means of the point of the trace. As a result of this process, the light come in a manner of a defined faculty. This is the ability to restrain and to formulate a particular activity for a limited function. The limiting of the faculty of movement to act in a certain limited manner, comes from a level much higher than the faculty of movement itself. It comes from the level of will and being a human being.

To use the analogy, it means that the will/ratzon is also restrained, even though it represents the whole person, but still it is a reshima/trace – just the functional element. It can limit the faculty, because it is superior to it. It represents the real thing. This is the power of limit within the ein sof. It is so to speak on par with the faculty of infinity. And the essence is superior to the elements of limit and infinity.
