begins: 'udrubbah...') For text see below.
We are looking at the
principle of ratzon/will.
And this is part of
explaining how it is an intermediary – the higher and lower levels
are connected.
Ratzon/will is from
the essence, and has some kind of 'what it wants', which means a
connection to something external. Without this identification there
would be no will. Will is the movement 'out of self-containment'.
Then there is a level
of ratzon/will that is internal. This is oneg/delight. He delights
in his own reality. This is revelation without connection to
something external. But this is not really revelation and
expression.
Essence is a
representation of the Godly presence in a person. He delights in the
essence that God placed into him. It is a rise into the Godly
element – into the essence. This is in contrast to using his Godly
attributes and expressing them outwardly.
In truth, wherever
you look you see the essence of Godliness.
