We
said that the essential form is applicable not only to the essence
itself, but also to the essential light...
The
essential light is not something produced on a functional level –
'it is there because the essence is there'. The light is
representative of the essential nature of the essence, not any
functional role it may play.
The
human being affects his surroundings. The primary element is the
presence. A human being, by definition, has a home.
Our
activities seem to focused on the external. We are told, 'stand
this way
for the silent prayer', and this is seen in all aspects of Torah and
Mitzvot. This is because each mitzvah is a statement of, 'I am in a
Godly domain', and thus the emphasis is not on what I know. It is
representative of essence, not of significance (understanding).
Essential
light is beyond space – all is one. On a lower level you see a
likeness – demus.
