We
are saying, that the light in comparison to the essence is just a
reflection.
A
reflection/ha-arah is essentially ein – a non presence. Essence is
the real thing. A compelling presence. Yesh ha-emitit.
Think
of the car and the spirit that created it. It represents the spirit
that made it.
The
reason you can relate to the 'real thing' (yesh ha-emitit) is because
you have a real soul.
A
human being is not a living body. He is life in a body. And life is
real. Before you apply logic, there is 'a First Being' where
everything is sourced. And He is beyond our knowing.
Abraham
never asked, 'where does the world come from?' rather he asked, 'what
is it all about? Where is the Boss?'
Light
does have a relationship to the luminary. But things do not have a
relationship to the Essence...
