We
are looking at the meaning of essential light. So essential that the
word tzelem/form can be applied to it.
The
essence is beyond revelation. His name is the element of revelation.
The
name is a reflection, but not the revelation of the essence in a real
sense.
The
human being is essential. He is beyond revelation and definition.
He does certain things that reflect
his
essential nature.
The
ha-arah/reflection points to the essence. It is the way the essence
would be on a functional level, even though the essence is beyond
function.
The
world starts from an unknowable presence. Anything that is knowable
is already at the level of world or creation.
So
the principle of human behavior has no explanation. It is just that
some behaviors are reflective of the human essence and some are not.
And the essential element of the essence is never revealed...
If
you know you do not know, then you know. That is real knowledge.
