BEYOND THE EIN SOF [#15934]

October 17, 2021

QUESTION:

What does it mean that hilyuli (ether) is the secret of the undifferentiated havayah (reality or existence), which seems to imply that hiyuli is the spiritual reality of the Creator? How can this be, if hiyuli is the void (chalal) that was left over from the infinite light (ohr EinSof), and the Creator left a ray of infinite light (the kav) that remained even after the void?

ANSWER:

The “true Havayah” of Hashem is above everything!!! It is above even His infinite light (ohr EinSof), as the Leshem explains. Getting subtler, His “true” Havayah is above even His “hidden” Havayah, for His “true” Havayah is above any concept of being hidden or revealed. Understand this well.
