283. \u201cAnd you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of citrus trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook.\u201d It is written, \u201cEveryone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, as well as made him.\u201d \u201cEveryone who is called by My name\u201d is Adam, whom the Creator created with His name, as it is written, \u201cAnd God created the man in His image,\u201d and called him by His name when he brought out truth and judgment in the world, and He is called Elokim [God] in the Torah, as it is written, \u201cYou shall not curse God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
284. He called him by His name, as it is written, \u201cAnd God created the man in His image,\u201d and it is written, \u201cLet us make man in our image, according to our own likeness,\u201d written about the coupling of ZA and Malchut. It is likewise with the coupling of the two of them; it is with an image and a likeness, for the image is from ZA, and the likeness is from Malchut. Adam came out from a male and a female, from ZA and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
285. \u201cAnd God created the man in His own image.\u201d When there is a coupling below, the Creator sends one shape, such as the face of the man, inscribed and engraved in an image, and it is on that coupling. If the eye were given permission to see, the man would see on his head one image, inscribed as the face of the man. The man was created in that image, and as long as the image his master had sent him does not stand over his head and is present there, the man is not created, as it is written, \u201cAnd God created the man in His own image.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
286. That image is available for him until he goes out to the world. When he comes out to the world, he grows in that image, walks in that image, as it is written, \u201cOnly in the image shall a man walk,\u201d and that image is from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
287. When these spirits come out from their places, each spirit is corrected before the holy king with a dignified correction in that Partzuf that is in this world. The image emerges out of that shape and dignified correction, since the image is a clothing for man\u2019s spirit, which is extended together with his spirit, as they are like a light and vessel. The image is a third to the spirit, a third discernment, since Ruach [spirit] is the first, Nefesh is the second, and image is the third. It comes to this world sooner when there is a coupling, and there is no coupling in the world without an image within it. However, holy Israel, the holy image is in them from a holy place, while the image in idol-worshippers is from evil kinds, from the side of impurity. Hence, one must not mix one\u2019s image with an image of idol-worshippers since one is holy and one is impure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
