“Shared Light” p:72(13)

Chochmah cleaves to the source and retains an element of the Origin.

It retains a quality of the ohr ein sof that preceded the tzimzum (tzimzum is the contraction that reduced the visibility of infinity).

In the world each thing is a presence – a defined presence. The infinite light is beyond this. The tzimzum creates the effect of concealment and revelation. Thus the light has a kind of novelty and becomes suitable to be contained in vessels.


A vessel means that the light can be grasped. A vessel has definition, and provides a 'handle'.



Yet still a vessel in this context is not separate, it is the means by which you get the light. And if the light cannot relate to the vessel then you are not getting the light altogether...

The world is a Godly creation. Real knowledge is when we sense this rather than experiencing an object in the world. We sense the Godly quality in each thing. They way God wants it to be and has a Godly truth to it.


Emunah/faith is the most powerful knowledge. But it is not called knowledge. This is because knowledge works with definition, and emunah goes to the infinite source – it knows that which is really true...!

We are dealing with things that have no bountries. We are dealing with unlimited things in the Rebbe's presentation.

If not for the light being hidden and then revealed, it would no be according to the context of the world.

The light of the first day, was not according to the limits of the world.

Adam could see from one end of the world to the other, on account of that light. It had to be hidden because it eliminated worldliness...
