Class 37

Page 153-4. Netzach and Hod. This class discusses the idea that all things emerge from the Ein Sof (and the Nefesh) as Ohr, in either the light (Ohr), life (Chayos), or Koach (energy) phases. All three of these levels are ‘outside the Etzem (of the Ein Sof and the Neshama)’, as the Etzem is not something that can emerge from the essence in a way that can be experienced at all. Netzach and Hod are not light at all, there is no experience, just the infinite strength of the Etzem itself.
