This is as we stated (section #34#, above), that although it is the Divine desire that the receiving souls should see the changes in the attributes as in the Giver, it must nevertheless be clear to the souls that there is no change or attribute in Him, God forbid. Rather, it is simply the Divine desire that they should imagine it as such, in the mystical meaning of the verse: “And by the ministry of the prophets have I used symbols.”62Hosea 12:11.
Should they err in this regard, God forbid, woe to them, for in an instant they will forfeit the Divine shefa. There is no need to say this with respect to those dim-witted ones who ascribe to Him some of the incidents that can befall a fleeting, transitory, flesh-and-blood creature. This concludes the citation from the Zohar. It would be advantageous for the reader to study the entire continuation of this section of the Zohar, as it clarifies the topic of the ten sefirot and three worlds of Beria, Yetzira, and Asiya, but this is not the place to elaborate any further.
