…that were permitted to be seen. For the difference between the Sefirot and Eyn Sof, blessed be He, is that it was made possible for the Sefirot to be “seen” (in the sense of being spiritually apprehended). This means two things. Firstly, it means that the Sefirot are capable of being seen, though this does not imply that the Sefirot must necessarily be visible, for indeed there are exalted Sefirot that are not visible even in the higher realms. What is implied is that they are fit and able to be seen. Should it happen that the spectator is prevented from seeing them, this does not detract from their nature of being potentially visible. However, the light of Eyn Sof, blessed be He, cannot be seen at all because of its intrinsic essence, which is unseeable.
