This is the conclusion of what we have been saying, 'there is none but You' is recognized only above in the garden of Eden. 'Nothing compares to You' is recognized in this world. This tells of what sense permeates each setting. This is a world of separateness, and thus no matter how much it comprehends it remains a 'something' and is thus unable to sense the truth of 'there is none but You'!

Above, where the light cleaves to its source it is sensed, how there is 'none but You!'

In this world where separate entities exist, the entity does not cease to be a 'something' when it recognizes its source.

Cleaving/devekut provides a first hand knowledge – the light has a sense of reality itself, not a projection.

'All is like naught before Him, as if it did not exist', is a level that can only be sensed as an experience of the essence itself – cleaving to the essence itself.

A source can project itself. Essence does not create a projection. When there is a projection, there can be comparison. Essence is in a category unto itself. And sensing essence itself, gives a sense of 'all is like nothing before Him'.

Essence is the truth of existence. There are things that exist due to some cause... then there is existence due to truth, not functionality. Truth doesn't exist, since it cannot not exist! It is above existence. Things exist and take up space – they project their existence. Essence does not do this at all. It does not exist due to having an effect and making itself know.

A thing can be displaced. Essence cannot be displaced.

We have been looking at the uniqueness of wisdom/chochmah. It cleaves to its source and is nothing without it. The source is 'the real thing' – essence, though the most elusive, is the most real. Atzmus/essence, does not make itself known, nor touch anything. You know it due to its truth. Thus it is the most true. Chochmah sees this.

Chochmah is affected exclusively by emes/truth. Thus it has the element of devekut/cleaving.

This is what we say in davening, 'there is none in proximity to You in this world, and there is none but You in the world to come...' In this world it is not sensed how there is 'none but You'. In this world though it is sensed that, 'there is none that compares to You'.

In this world you can know the truth. But you know it as a separate entity and thus one can say, 'there is none like You', but the 'there is none, but You' cannot be sensed.

The 'world to come' is the Garden of Eden, where there is the revelation of the light of atzilus/essence.

Wisdom is where daas elyon is principally recognized.

Chochmah/wisdom has recognition of the truth and orientation of truth. But chochmah is a 'something' so how can it have a sense of 'He is He alone and there is none other'?

This orientation is due to its cleaving to its source. And by means of this it senses how the essence is the real something (yesh ha-amitit), and there is none besides Him, and 'all before Him is considered like nothing'.

Chochmah cleaves and senses. It senses 'how' the essence is... it senses from the perspective of the Source. This is daas elyon.

This is seeing, not because it is visible, but because it is being shown to me...

We plan to have Chunnah's notes from the Fabrengen soon.

Good Moed!

“Spirit of Wisdom” p: 169

Page 169 – about a quarter from the top of the page – (line starts, 'de-acharay hashem...') For text, see picture below.

The light of wisdom/chochmah is like the 'spirit of wisdom' - it substantiates and gives an element of reality.

There is light and an element of essence all the way down to the bottom level. This is accomplished by the 'spirit of wisdom/chochmah' becoming a 'something'.

Yet still the wisdom/chochmah is still in a state of cleaving/devekut to ohr ein sof (even though it is becoming a 'something'). And due to this it retains the element of ein/'nothing'.

Sight connects you to the reality. It connects you to 'what is there'. Note how it combines, something and nothing – there is the activity of 'seeing' yet it is nothing in that it is reality itself.

Hence there can never be a full description of what you saw. You can talk about what you saw, but never give a full description.

You cannot refute sight, because it is 'ayin/nothing' – it is true despite the questions. It is a reality.

This is the element of cleaving/devekut. This does not only mean that it is dependent on it, but the existence is it...
