a
new nuance in tzimtzum/contraction: it is not just the reduced light,
but rather the effort to reduce it. This is the root of the
principle of din/judgment.
Judgment
is not just the differentiation of right from wrong, but identifies
the exclusivity of right and the exclusivity of wrong – that they
each occupy their own place.
The
root of judgement is the element of makom/space, which is the aspect
of keilim/vessels.
This
is like using words, which are like neutral vessels, to express a
concept. The words are like space... or vessels... this is the
contraction of the ohr/light. By removing the brightness of the light
you get to the essence and now it can come into vessels. As a
result of contraction/tzimtzum, the 'must be' element remains.
Makom/space:
a concept does not have a 'place' where it is and is not.
Makom/place provides that things are 'here and not there' – it
provides for this kind of identity. Ownership is an example of this
aspect.
