We
have been talking about keilim/vessels.
And
now we are discussing lights/ohrot.
The
difference is that vessels are distant from their source and lights
remain connected.
And
that makes all the difference.
Lights/ohrot
are a different realm from vessels.
The
basis for the difference is that the lights remain connected.
The
vessels can be at different levels – in atzilus they are actual
Godliness (Elokus mamash) and the source for the worlds below that...
Keilim
can be taken out of context. Ohrot exist only in context.
The
faculty of sight provides a context.
The
faculty of touch is out of context, where you touch something and
deduce it's function.
Light
is connected to the source. There cannot be a human phenomenon
without the human being...
Intellect
is a neshama/soul perspective.
In
Torah if a man doesn't have enough food, it is called, 'the
embarrassment of hunger'. This alludes to the principle that man is
a prince. Your 'self-respect' is the respect for how He has made
you. You are a Godly creation. And you should lack nothing!
The
kav (line of light) comes through the tzimtzum (contraction) and yet
it's import is from the light that preceded the tzimtzum.
The
light after the darkness of tzimtzum (contraction) is a ray, but yet
this ray retains the quality of light before contraction (undefined,
infinite light).
Sight
brings you physical reality without the need to touch it for
verification. How? The answer is that light brings to us the
presence of the physical object, not from its physical level, but
from its 'source' level. Light shows you things in context.
