Part 15: p. 39-40. EFES, AYIN, EFSHARI HAYESH, YESH First thing is Efes, a non world – one infinite Ain Sof with infinite sefiros. Then Hashem “thinks” that He wants a world, and 10 sefiros are designated from the infinite number of sefiros to make the world, but its still swimming in a sea of…

Part 16: Ain Koach Chosar poel Lemaala- YESHUS is only CHIDUSH Four Levels: EFES, AYIN,EFSHARI YESH, YESH. What is the difference before maase? The Ruchnius of the world exists but not the goshmius (in a later maamar the Rebbe says even the goshmius exists but not the yesh.) Yeshus is the LIE that says I…

Part 17: Inside p. 40 The only chidush in creation is the LIE, the Yeshus. Hashem made the world out of Himself. It is from G-tlikeit. The world is false. It is the koach of Elokim that creates the things we see. Independent existence is a myth. Hashem needs to constantly keep creating the YESH…

Part 18: (p. 40 bottom) TZIMTZUM K’PSHUTO, LO K’PSHUTO Entire reality is only words of Hashem. Hashem makes the chomer (raw material) and the tzura constantly, but we can’t see G-dliness. Hashem wants us to think that we exist, and to buttel ourselves to Him, i.e. make from the YESH, AYIN. When Hashem wanted to…

INTRODUCTION to the division of the maamar. The maamar is divided as follows: first is the posuk and three questions: how is the posuk related to leaving Mitzraim and entering Eretz Yisroel and how can it be explained that Havaye and Elokim are kula chad (one). Next comes the havamina that Havaye and Elokim are…

OROS and KEILIM- two opposite systems. Atzilus is the light of Hashem revealed. Here the Oros and kelim come together. There are 4 basic characteristics of each. The Ohr is 1) bli gvul (unlimited) 2) giluy (reveals its source) 3) Devekus (attached to its source) and 4) pshitus (plain not divided). The Kelim are the…

Hava Amina Teretz and refutation. (revealing through hiding). Elokim brings Havaye to us by blocking most of Havaye so the underlying chitzonius ohr can be seen.
