Class 20: ATZILUS (continued). ARIZAL- the Ein Sof can be OHR PNIMI to keilim like neshama and guf. What happens when we put Ohr Ain Sof into Adam Haelyon? Ramak: The Light lifts up the kelim and bittels them a drop (Davenning and Torah). Arizal: The light comes in and descends down here – a dira b’tachtonim – it brings Hashem into the world. (Mitzvos). Pardes: Ohr is Atzmus, plain, undivided, no form, no color, shouldn’t even really give out light at all light being a reflection of chelem b”etzem. Arizal: The Neshama of the ohr wants to connect to Hashem, the guf of the ohr = giluy. In order to reveal the light it must split up the two. Pardes: the light is Sovev, the keli and the ohr don’t match at all. One light for all like sunlight, electricity or like clear water in a colored glass. Arizal: the light is Memale, and the neshama and the guf match. Pardes: Memale is Sovev forced into a keli. Arizal: The Ohr is Ohr Ein Sof but is also specific. CAN have Acahalifu duchtayu in Atzilus (see class 5b above.) Arizal: Hashem made the ohr from the level of yecholes v’lo yecholes directly from Atzmus. What is higher, Memale or Sovev? Arizal: Memale comes directly from Atzmus. So there are really three things 1) Ohr 2) kelim and 3) Oros Metzionim. The Ohr fits into the keli and the keli actualizes the ohr from a state of bli ma to revelation. Tikun sh’b’tikun. Pardes: Ohr (sovev) and kelim don’t fit well but the ohr raises up and bittels the kelim a little. Tohu sh’b Tikun. MP3
