Class One on the topic of יש מאין.
יש מאין doesn’t mean something from nothing, it means a thing from a non-thing.
While יש מיש means something from one thing from another thing.
The difference is proximity: if one can trace the creation back to its source it is יש מיש; if one cannot do that because the two are ‘quantum-separated’ then it is יש מאין.
This idea (that יש מאין isn’t something from nothing

Class Two on the topic of יש מאין.
The story of “there is no such thing as nothing not even in your head.”
Because יש מאין is not something from nothing but a thing from a (relative) “non-thing”, there are therefore many יש מאיןs in each and every world.
But there is the very first and overriding יש מאין which is the basis for all subsequent יש מאין events, and relative to this absolute יש מאין event all subsequent יש מאיןs are equal.
This is the אין we are crying out to in קריאת שמע.

Prayer is our form of partnering with Him so that the gift He has given in Creation and in its sustaining isn’t (any longer) uni-lateral but by-lateral.
We draw all the way from Sovev and what we bring in (as an addition) is more than what the world naturally has.

Chochma.
It is a “tool” like any other [A. cannot do anything on it’s own B. It is always at the disposal to use it whenever and however he wishes]
But it is opposite of most tools, because all the other tools are centered on what they are (their parameters) and Chochma is all about getting past self (frustration, breaking ego, breaking down preconceptions).
Therefore, Chochma is the medium for (the revealing of) the Ein Sof.

Inside.
The idea of Chochma in each world receives and holds the אור אין סוף. Though the Ma’amarim speak only about Atzilus, but in fact קריאת שמע reaches much higher than Atzilus until אין סוף הסובב כל עלמין.

הוי’ אחד: they are ז”א (division and yet one) and נוקבא.
