Atzilus 1 In the Hemshech – Shuva Yisroel, Lulav, and Shemini Atzeres explain what would have happened if midas haDin alone would have created the world. Bereishis, Lech Lecha and Vayera explain what happens when Din is mixed with Rachamim. Shuva Yisroel, the third maamar, describes the best kind of Din, higher than Rachamim. The more hidden Hashem is, the more Free Will there is for man. But if Hashem becomes too hidden, we will stop looking for Him. Lulav Vaarava, the fourth Maamar, the midas HaDin is lower than Midas haRachamim (Atzilus). The Maamar discusses Atzilus. Atzilus is the closest thing to G-d that isn’t G-d. Atzilus is Giluy Elokus. Giluy is 1) to a Zulas 2) the Zulas gets it 3)the Zulas determines what to give. Etzem isn’t revealed, it is to itself alone. Atzilus is as much of a revelation as there can be.
