רס”ו ע’ תרס”ח. סובב כל עלמין and ע”ס בלימה continued. Although סובב is above the רצון for עולמות and כמו קדמו ההעדר which means it is not connected to עולמות for it’s existence; but it is not עצם but גילוי and by default (indirect association) it is שייך לעולמות and as such is קודש. Only…

רס”ו ע’ תרס”ח. The idea of סובב כל עלמין leads us to understand that even סובב is only קדוש because it is also for “כל עלמין” and only עצמות אוא”ס is קדש.

רס”ו ע’ תרס”ד- תרס”ח. עלי’ה from גרמוהי to חיוהי. Three levels of אור: 1) כמו שכלול בעצמות. 2) כמו שנמשך כבר בכלים 3) בין ב’ הנ”ל the level of בלימ”ה. The idea of קדש is this middle level.

רס”ו ע’ תרס”ד The Zohar speaks of קדש מילי בגרמי a notion of holiness by itself. Holiness isn’t Hashem, as He above the idea of being above, so Holy by itself isn’t Him, yet it isn’t connected to anything else that carries the holiness as a “thing” onto itself. In general, this is חכמה that…

רס”ו ע’ תרס”ג-ד. Second explanation for ירידה צורל עלי’ה from טהרה to קדושה and from גרמוהי to חיוהי: It’s the עלי’ה to the level of קדש (without the וי”ו) that is completely above קדוש (with a וי”ו). Explanation: review of טהרה vs. קדושה; leads to difference between קדוש and קדש.

רס”ו ע’ תרס”א-ב. Different aspects and ways a Neshama down here becomes a מהלך. A) The light of Torah reveals the בלי גבול in the Neshama. B) The adversity of the נפש הבהמית (either the בירור of it, or the mere conflict) is what propels the Neshama to access its בלי גבול and become a…
