“'World' is not His Main Movie” p: 172

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel ThursdayNight 16 Cheshvan 5772

We have come full circle. We have been looking at how light, a volitional creation of essence, carries with it an aspect of essence, all the way down into post-tzimzum reality...

We say this is not within the realm of knowledge, but to know that there is something beyond knowing is of utmost significance.

One of the big pitfalls of our world is that 'the world is essentially knowable and people tend to rely on what they know...' we tend to gravitate to that which is knowable to the extent that we will even reject that which is not knowable. This is a serious pitfall.

The real principle of life is to live by what you know, but to realize that what you know is based on a truth that is not knowable! Only by this is it possible to follow through and do things above your understanding and explanation!

Creating the world, does not capture Him. Does not capture the extent of His capability and range. But what does it mean to us, since we are in the world? Well, yes, we are in world, and it is created by Him, and thus we can also benefit from what is higher than world.

We have no idea of that which Essence bears within. We don't know what He represents.

So too regarding the essence of the light.

For it is 'like the essence'.

This means that 'yesh bo hakol' / 'in it is everything', and what comes to expression is only the 'light' element of the essential light.

Essence is in a state of 'non-entity'. Essence wanted expression at the level of 'presence' and this is why light was made...

And is the light, essence or is it light? Or are they the same? In Essence itself light does not exist. Essence creates light. What initiates this? Essence Himself. The initiator is not light, He is beyond light.

Normally when we say something is initiated, we mean something is called forth to address a situation. That is when there is an external solicitation.

But when we say it is initiated from Essence there is no external cause! Thus it is not a light that is coming to fill a need! It is just due to the will of essence! It is representing the fullness of essence at the level of light or presence...

And what is here? Not light, but Essence! That's why we have these 2 elements... light... and Essence...

Thus the entire message of 'world' is, 'there is a Creator!' “There is Essence. There is Elokus / G-dliness” There is such variety in in the world, since it shows that spread from Him. But it is not Him.

There is an essential light in the world. It is source above in 'sovev' and this is very significant. One feels a certain way, but it has a source. Put simply, “the human being stands up on 2 feet. It doesn't make sense. If you are on earth, standing on 4 would be more realistic! This is due to the essential spirit – 'know the earth is down, but all is held up from Above' that's the reality. This is the sense of the essence in the light.”

The real reality is 'G-d wants it'. There is a King. What he wants happens.

When we stand up, we stand on nothing. We are relating to the truth of the world and that we are made in His image.

As much as we know about Torah and Souls, we do not perceive their measure. To know the truth of the soul is not possible.

In the time to come, then there will be a revelation of the essence of the soul, 'we will live before His face', as the verse says. This is the revelation of essence through souls...
