“Think of the difference between an open field and a structure of undefined use. There’s a difference. The field is in a basic state. By contrast any structure indicates ‘some type of idea’.”

P 73 [of the new pamphlet] at 6th line from end of the page, at the line starting “haya bo…”. [P 53 of the book]
In the 10 sphirot there is a difference between ‘above’ and ‘below’.
The lights of the 10 sphirot and invested in the vessels in an internal manner.
Think of the difference between an open field and a structure of undefined use. There’s a difference. The field is in a basic state. By contrast any structure indicates ‘some type of idea’.
The level of ‘idea’ indicates coming to a situation of ‘lights in vessels’.
The light has a goal. The goal is to be effective in the vessel. And for this reason there is a ‘top and bottom’.
It has the intent of affecting a situation beyond itself… this is the point of an inner investment [hislabshut pnimi].
Thus the light adjusts itself to the vessel.
If the vessel is more refined, it is more submissive, and can thus take more, hold more light.
And this quality makes them higher - greater emphasis on their service rather on their presence….
