“You and The Snowflakes” p: 172


AyinBase with R' Paltiel Tuesday 3 Elul 5772 

Page 172 – 7th line from the end of the page (line starts, 'hitchabrut...') For text, see picture below.

We are looking to see how a 'reflection of a reflection' has a connection to the essence and can also be call 'essential form/tzurah atzmi'.

To look at this we have been talking about the 'name'. A person's name is bound with him, though it only refers to the reflection of him. It is so bound with him that he cannot divest himself of it.

Then there is another affect of the 'name'. This is where the name can be applied to objects and property that a person owns.

This application of a man's name to other objects is call 'hispashtus'. As discussed yesterday objects can be sold and thus the name associated with them can change.




6:30 minutes of video; into the text. This difference we identified regarding the use of the 'name' can be applied to the name per se (having a name) as opposed to being called by a name.

A name in truth applies only to a human being. It is proper that a person has a name. So the name is due to his own reality. It is not based on a whim.

A person is a true entity. Not part of a species.

The essence of the name is in the category of connection with the person – unified with him.

The level of 'called by name' is not as deeply connected to him.
