“Special Sight” p:72(14)

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel 25 Cheshvan 5775 


Page 72(14)

At 5th line of the page – (line begins: 'ha-hagbalah...') For text see below.

We are looking at how light essentially can funnel through limited channels while retaining its fundamental infinity, that it has from its source.

This is like the soul resting in the brain... all the way down to the heel of the foot, which has the least degree of sensitivity. And yet, the the heel has a life element which is infinite – continually being rejuvinated from its source!

All the sphirot are interconnected, due to the infinite light that is there...

the reason it retains the infinite quality is because light at all levels is always pointing to its source. It never becomes an entity unto itself.


Consciousness starts with chochmah/wisdom. Will and delight/oneg is above this is and are not conscious elements.


Sight is a metaphor for chochmah/wisdom.

In an instant you can see a whole panorama. This is completely different from the sense of touch. Touch deals with an insignificant, local, physical experience. Sight is different – you see things in their full context. You see the life element.

You can see distinct objects and distances, yet you see it all from a reality perspective.
