Page 245. Two types of Hishtalshelus: One: the gradual orderly one. In order for ideas and inspiration from Kesser to reach מלכות in a form of פנימיות it goes through various steps of התלבשות וצמצום.

Page 244-5. Back to the question: how did Dovid (Malchus) “see” and reach and bring down directly from Kesser “Ayin” straight to himself in Malchus “אשא עיני אל ההרים מאין יבא עזרי” without going through the steps of Hishtalshelus? The answer will be through חושים and particularly the חוש הראי’ה. Hashem also by-passes when יאר…

Page 244. ראי’- המשכה יותר התאחדות פחותה. שאר חושים- התאחדות הנפש יותר, המשכת העצם פחות. The idea of כלות הנפש, where the soul expires and leaves the body is explained here, as the lower being uplifted in the higher etc. It is connected to the idea of התאחדות הנפש which is the same idea as…

Page 244. An interesting idea (understood בדרך אפשר) about seeing according to Chassidus and Torah: Every single creation has it’s own light; but the light doesn’t reach you (except by sunlight, which is why it is blinding), which is why seeing is not a חוש פנימי that transforms. The other חושים שמיעה ריח etc. are…

Page 243-4. The down side of חוש הראי’ה. Though it is very impactful it isn’t the Essence itself because it doesn’t change you. The other חושים are actually more פנימיות than seeing.

Page 242-3. Chushim, including Seeing don’t create a Yichud and have children [that means create change] but they set it up. Seeing affects desire. Seeing affects one’s ability to learn.

Page 242. 1) חושים don’t create יחוד and change, but they set up and inspire the birth and change that will follow. 2) תענוג is the expression of one’s infinity, but it is not useful in the reality of the limited complex lives we live. But the תענוג must (does) inspire it.

Page 242. When we look at Hashem He looks back at us. Through חושים one can skip many steps and go straight from מלכות to כתר.

Page 241-2. Introducing the interface and difference between כחות and חושים. The כחות is long involved, and changing; while חושים have an immediate impact but isn’t so changing in and of itself. יונתי בחגוי הסלע בסתר המדריגות הראיני את מראיך השמיעיני את קולך וגו Like doves staring at one another is very deep but doesn’t…

Page 241. Questions and answers. Why all the details about where Avrohom is going from and such few details about where he’s going to? Because this is a spiritual journey, and you know where you are coming from but know little of where you will eventually reach. The future is being shown, later Hashem will…
