Page 56 [of the pamphlet] lower quarter of the page – line starts: 'bhituhrvut'. (P43 in the book)

The process of tzimtzum below is one step. Above it is 2 step – removal of the light, and secondly a contraction of the sphirot themselves.

At the outset the sphirot are intermingled together. It is representative of the fact that there is a higher light that combines them all. And they are all dedicated to this higher element.

This is like the way the shine of the sun is nullified within the sun itself.

God made light before there were any creations to benefit from it. He is introducing a truth element saying, 'Hey, this is a Godly creation!' - light is removal of the worldly concealment allowing for unification and intermingling.

Rambam says, “know there is a First Being that brings everything into existence” and this is what allow everything to interrelate. This statement is reflected on the worldly level by 'light'.

So thus the light of the 1^st day was 'super-worldly' – it was light without a luminary – it was the Godly presence. It was overpowering.

So afterwards it was given a 'physical' representation – namely the sun.

Yes, the the light of the 1^st day was camouflaged by hiding the light in the sun, but yet the same effect remains. Day-light is transformative, and the sun is an essential illuminator.

The ray of light is fully nullified to the sun.

The 10 hidden sphirot before the tzimtzum were fully nullified to the infinite light that surrounded them.

That's why 'above' the tzimtzum is a 2 step process.
