Then follows the second level. At the end of the first level, the vessel of Ḥokhma prevails by equating its form to that of the supernal light it contains. In other words, a will to give to the Emanator is awakened within the vessel, resembling the nature of the light it contains, which is entirely to give. Then, by means of this will to give that has been awakened in the vessel, a new light is drawn to it from the Emanator, which is called the “light of giving.” As a result, it is disassociated almost completely from the light of wisdom that the Emanator bestowed on it, since the light of wisdom can be received only in its own vessel, which is the ultimate will to receive in its fullest measure, as stated.
Receiving Supernal Light Requires the Right Vessel
