This
morning we introduced what will enable us to understand what follows
on this page.
From
where does a human being get an essence? If he is an evolved life
form there is no essence. If he is a creation he has essence.
Indeed God made man – made a man in full – with all his
intelligence, abilities and insights. He told him, 'you can rule the
world. The world is there for the sake of your effect upon it...'
Therefore
this human being, with his essential reality cannot loose it. Even
if he falls, and he is lying in the gutter and he looses it, still
he has not lost it!
Similarly
everything that comes out in atzilus and the worlds below it is
concealed within the ohr ein sof – within the infinity – within
the essence.
So
how is it that the world of atzilus, is united with essence and yet
at the same time a total novelty.
And
atzilus is and intermediary between infinity and the world below it.
It
takes the higher element and reduces it to a level where it is now
appropriate to be given to the lower level. The intermediary is of
such a quality that it can relate to the higher element without
losing its connection to the lower elements.
The
intermediary has something akin to the created beings and something
akin to the infinity.
Atzilus
has lights/ohrot that are representative of infinty/essence, and
atzilus has keilim/vessels, that relate to the lower worlds.
It
is a reduction of His completeness to say His infinity is beyond
relating to the area of definition and limit.
