At
about the middle line of the page –
(line
begins: 'ha-atzmius...') For text see below.
There
is no 'light' in essence. There is no light from
essence. If there is light, it is new creation that essence decided
to create...
And
the light, once created, cleaves to its maker.
And
in this way is representative of essence.
Cleaving
to its source, does not mean 2 things stuck together. Light does not
have its own identity. Its identity is the illuminator from which it
comes.
We
cannot know the supremacy of essence. We have no means to approach
and identify essence.
And
so too the light... it cannot be defined and known...
And
the Zohar says, 'the purpose of the creation of the world is to know
Him...' But we just said you cannot know Him...!
The
Zohar is referencing the revelations from
Him, and not the essence of the light, but rather the effect of the
light – the external elements...
