The Forms of the Light"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The light that is clothed in the soul does not have the same form as the light before it clothes in the soul. The light is called \u201csimple,\u201d meaning one quality. But when the light is clothed in the will to receive, called a \u201csoul,\u201d it becomes complex, meaning made of two qualities\u2014the quality of a giver and the quality of a receiver simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is no change in the light, with respect to the receiver, it is called a \u201cdifferent form\u201d because it already consists of two qualities there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when a person eats meat and tastes the meat when it touches his palate. Although the taste he feels in the meat feels concrete, since he is receiving this taste from the meat, it still does not mean that that same flavor will be in the meat itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather, through this composition, when the palate touches the meat, there is this offshoot that is born from the light, meaning the meat, and the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;[vessel], meaning the desire\u2014that he wants to enjoy the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, we can understand that there is no connection between the light in and of itself, and the light that is dressed in the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>. It was said about the light, \u201cThere is no thought or perception of Him whatsoever.\u201d And yet, that same light dresses in the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blind man asked Rabbi Meir. He said to him, \u201cIs possible that it is written about it, \u2018But I fill the heaven and the earth?\u2019\u201d He was speaking with Moses from between the two curtains of the ark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe said to him, \u2018Bring me big mirrors.\u2019 He replied, \u2018See Your image in them.\u2019 He saw it big. \u2018Bring me small mirrors.\u2019 He said to him, \u2018See your image in them.\u2019 He saw it small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe said to him, \u2018As you, who is flesh and blood, change yourself however you want, he who said, \u2018Let there be the world\u2019 is much more so. When He wants, \u2018I fill the heaven and the earth.\u2019 And when He wants, He speaks with Moses from between the two curtains of the ark\u2019\u201d (<em>Beresheet<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rabbah<\/em>, Portion No. 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the above means that all the changes are according to the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>, from the allegory of the person acquiring a different form in the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>, meaning the mirrors, while there is no change in the person himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The light that is clothed in the soul does not have the same form as the light before it clothes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-11543","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 235.
