QUESTION:
What is the concept of ayin?
ANSWER:
Ayin does not simply mean a “nothingness” as it implies, but when the unlimited dimension dominates the limited dimension. This is explained by the Ramchal in Kelach Pischei Chochmah.
QUESTION
2) What is the difference between the Radla (unknowable head), Adam Kadmon (Primordial Man), the kav ohr EinSof (ray that extends from the infinite light) and the ohr EinSof (the infinite light)?
ANSWER
The concept of the Radla is the “integration of opposites”. Adam Kadmon is oneness. The kav extends “from above to below and “from below to above” - from above to below, it is one continuous heavenly flow, and from below to above, it is the power of “hope” in Hashem. The ohr EinSof (the infinite light) is the all-inclusiveness of everything (kelalut hakol).
QUESTION
3) What is the concept of the “unifying of the two Mashiachs” (Mashiach ben Yosef with Mashiach ben Dovid)? Does it mean the integration of the tosefes (additional increase upon the infinite light) onto havayah (the all-inclusive reality)? If Mashiach ben Dovid represents havayah (the all-inclusive reality) then what else is left to do and how can anything else become added onto this revelation? If havayah is an unchanging and perfect reality and the source of everything, how can there be an additional revelation upon havayah?
ANSWER
4) Mashiach ben Yosef reveals the tosefes, the additional revelation, and Mashiach ben Dovid reveals havayah, the all-inclusive reality. Moshe is the fusion of these two perspectives together. There was a tosefes even before Hashem made the tzimtzum (contraction of His infinite light), there was a tosefes/addition in that the unlimited dimension of His infinite light dominated the limited dimension of His infinite light, and this is Mashiach ben Dovid’s revelation. There is also a tosefes/addition that came after the tzimtzum, for the purpose of integrating together the unlimited with the limited, and this is the revelation of Moshe.
QUESTION
What is the connection between the concepts of daas, keser, and havayah?
ANSWER
Daas connects one to emunah and taanug, which then connects one to Keser, and that is where Havayah is.
QUESTION
How can learning Kaballah be applied to my personal soul and not as a mere intellectual study?
ANSWER
Learn and try to understand each level, and then see where it is found in the soul, and then understand the level from within you, which is “From my flesh I see G-d.”
