Elokus of darkness. Another path altogether, but not in this Ma’amar. See Shaar HaYichud VihaEmuna end ch. 4-5.

Nothing good comes from a negative act (Tzimtzum and Siluk). Therefore after the Siluk there is a return of manifesting of Elokus called Hislabshus Koach HaPoel BiNifal. Three steps in Mashal of Rav and Talmid like the three (not two) steps in Tzimtzum HaRishon. This mirrors the three steps of Machshava Dibur Ma’aseh.

Second answer Nimshal (inside). The Tzimtzum is to us and not to Him; it is not “Hester Amitti”. Tzimtzum can only happen in Makom and His evacuation of the Makom is not Kipshuto (actual) it is only to us.

First answer (3). The idea of MiBsari Echezeh Elokah- the human being is the perfect Mashal for Elokus because “Nishtalshelu Mehem”. 1) Two aspects of each Koach, to reveal and to limit, are not in combat with one another.
