Page 7-8. Though יש מאין comes from עצמות, it comes through השתלשלות and the process of אור, הארה, הארה דהארה והארה דהארה דהארה. The analogy for this is the idea of שם- a name which is so completely superficial and yet represents the essence more than anything else.

Page 9-10. The Rebbe transfers to the form of Malchus. He explains that there is 1) the King, 2) his name, 3) how the name of the King on the people, 4) the King’s instruction to the people. The Rebbe explains that the creation has two aspects 1) existence, 2) life. These two aspects come…
Class 08
Page 10-11. There is really a third idea in Malchus: as He kings before the Tzimtzum: meaning before He comes close enough to King over us. The Rebbe connects this to the אדון עולם אשר מלך בטרם כל as opposed to the [לעת נעשה בחפצו כל אזי מלך שמו נקרא [עליהם.
