sha”tzcore kabbalacel ramblings june 14th: malchutological reverse-kenosis |
post by gur dimei
in continuation of yesterday’s post, which was about the beginning of the second division of sefer habria, I will today elaborate on the matter of the communion of lights (yichud ha’orot) which is mentioned in daf 10a and on the matter of “tnu oz l’elohim” (“let us encourage God/the gods” – psalms 68:35) which is a core tenant of shabbatean ideology.
in daf 12a in the second division of sefer habria, rabbi natan describes tefilin as “oz” (power/courage), hence – a tool for the transmission of human self-producing formativity to the hyperactive godhead. in that page rabbi natan described the God of israel as a “mana yakira” (“precious ‘mana’” [mana is a judeo-aramaic kabbbalistic term for a conceptual hyper-ekonomic receptacle which brings forth divine form]), which is encouraging itself through the devotion of israel to the mitzvot, which are the formal vicissitudes of eschatical life. after the partzuf is enformed and redeemed by the neshamot, it is left “lifeless” and “dry” in the mystery of the god-fulfilling ma’aseh bereshit, because of the inherent tendency of the reality-form of godly existence to motivate itself and be drawn away from its unique link with the full total bio-substance. as for the issue of “who is like you people israel” etc. here we are told of the talmudic interpretation [...] that he [God] wears a tefilin which is wholly a praise of israel, since all of his oz [“power”/“courage”] was given to him by the neshamot of israel, and then his self-configuration stands fully consummated. hence, rabbi natan says that the reason for the depiction of God as wearing a tefilin on which it is written “who is like your people israel – one people” is that God is being pleromized and filled by the neshamot of israel which are active and formative agents in the self-abundant procession of divine life. |
