“Light Statement” p:72(14)

Page 72(14)

At about the middle line of the page – (line begins: 'devukus...') For text see below.

We pointed out that although there was contaction/tzimtzum the light retains an element of infinity and a faculty of essence (koach ha-atzmi) in that this light can create something from nothing (yesh mi ein).

The light cleaves to the essence. It is self effacing. It does not represent itself at all. The essence is its primary message.


Essence creates light since it wants to be revealed. But in what way is is representative of essence? This is because its whole identity is due to the will of the essence. It is not a 'natural' flow from essence into light...


Thus the light is a completely novel creation.

Light is like a new creation, yet it is representative of essence due to devekut/cleaving. Meaning the light is entirely self effacing...
