Part 19: (text p 41 5 lines from bottom) TZIMTZUM K’PSHUTO, LO K’PSHUTO. The Alter Rebbe says that Hashem is not only still here in creation, but is more revealed than when the light was here and shining.Think about an eclipse. The light is also here although not revealed to us, but Hashem sees the light. EFES is before machshava, AYIN – machshava creation exists in a sea of Ain Sof; EFSHARI YESH – Dibbur removes (hides) the Ein Sof Light. YESH – Dibbur that is like maase – hislabshus koach hapoel b’n’fal. So practically speaking what happened when Hashem made the world? NOTHING! The world is still AYIN. But WE think there is a world. There is a BIG LIE. Ziv Haha’ara gives us life but it all happens inside Hashem. The ziv never left Him. White light contains colors if you look through a prism. Both the white and the colors are there, but you can’t see both at the same time. Ziv = memale kol almin. Where there is the ziv there is also Sovev kol almin, like the rays of of the sun in the sun.
