We are saying that light from essence in not a natural progression.

We think of daylight.  The energy is not light per se.   Then there is the effect of light from the sun.  It is not something that can be experienced directly – since it is all encompassing.

Then there is the presence of the sun.  It has a completely different effect.  Sunrise brings not light but the sun itself.  What’s the difference?  Light knows darkness.  But the sun is not in contrast to darkness.  Darkness does not exist in the sun.

It is the essence of light.  This is like the guest and the host.  The host serves lunch.  But if he says, ‘here, enjoy I’m leaving’,  then nothing is left… the guest would be bereft.  This is indicating a light/presence that does not have a process.

The revelation from essence is not by process, only by His will.   

This means the light/revelation is coming by means of his will, and not from His essence. 

The sun illuminates, but the objects are left unaffected after the light leaves.

Soul influence (hashpah) is internal and the student is forever changed by the new perspective.   The master works to reveal what both he and the student already know internally.  The student knows that he personally is being addressed.
