The soul is a pure light, like life, but non-individuated into ideas or emotions.

The opinions and emotions of the soul are like a person who dons a garment – the garment is obviously not the person, it is temporarily an expression of desire.

Just like your clothing effects how you feel, similarly your opinions and emotions.

This is similar to the relationship between body and soul, for though they are completely different, if you stub your toe your soul feels pain.

The soul itself is beyond any sort of changes, from this we deduce that as the emotional and instinctual states of a person change (certainly we shift in the varied emotions of children vs. adults) hence we realize that the emotions and intellect, are merely mechanisms for the soul to express itself similar to clothing.

In fact, the essence of the soul does not come into the body, it is only a lower level of the soul which descends into the capacity for intelligence and emotional feeling which then translate into expressive thoughts, speech and deeds (for they are the mechanism of the mechanism, the expression of the expression.)

One can never speak about tzimtzum in the maor; on the contrary the maor is perpetually present which is why children feel God’s presence – In other simple words, God is everything, the reason we don’t see it is because we are using senses that connect only to the physical.

There are three attitudes visa-vie others, the naïve child state: “I love everyone, so everyone loves me” and the result of love is to give (this state lacks all boundaries, a bit like the hippies.) Then there is the exact opposite “All people are cruel selfish sobs” (this state is based on having been bullied and hence as the mind fears people, it creates this belief) the result is a person doesn’t love anyone, only uses and abuses. – Lastly the truth – “Just as you don’t want anyone to judge you and you want everyone to assist you when you need it – do so for others.”

How can God’s knowledge of reality not create multiplicity (in other words, if I were to see many things simultaneously, it would mean that unless I had some kind of different vision there would be many MEs) the answer is there are two kinds of visions, one in which the person places his essence into what he sees, the second like peripheral (where we see much more than we are conscious of, for example they say we “download” 400,000,000,000 bits of data from the environment (sights. sounds etc.) every second, but are only conscious of 2000.)
