INTRODUCTION to the division of the maamar. The maamar is divided as follows: first is the posuk and three questions: how is the posuk related to leaving Mitzraim and entering Eretz Yisroel and how can it be explained that Havaye and Elokim are kula chad (one). Next comes the havamina that Havaye and Elokim are two separate entities with wills of their own and opposite agendas. The hava’amina teretz says that since Elokim blocks Havaye in order to reveal it they are one. This is quickly refuted by illustrating how Elokim certainly does block and reveal Havaye, but the amount and quality of the light of Havaye that it allows to be revealed is so little that it is not kula chad. Next the maamar goes on the three terutzim as above with the first moshol, the first nimshal; the 2nd moshol; the 3rd moshol; followed by the 2nd and 3rd nimshals. Then the avoda section talks about tests, and parnussa. / There is also a discussion about Atzilus. Elokus allows for a connection between Hashem and us. In Atzilus are lights that are closer to Hashem and kelim that are closer to us. The lights go into the kelim. Adam Hatochton relates to Adam Haelyon (Atzilus.)
