The Map of Existence (chapters 2-48) -- Internal Energy

Human Faculties (1)

Ayin Beis Volume 1, Discourse 1, Chapter 2, p. 3-5:


To appreciate the role of the Keter/Will interface (between the Source and existence) we must first understand the structure of existence. The building blocks of the cosmic order -- all that exists -- is comprised of ohros and keilim, energies (lights) and containers. We can relate to this by observing the human being, whose faculties consist of particular forces manifesting in specific organs -- energy and container each precisely tailored to the other (i.e. the mind is in the brain, the power of sight in the eyes. The effect of one faculty on another is only a diminished reflection of the faculty's energy, not the energy itself which has it particular resting place). This is called ohr pnimi -- an internalized and integrated energy.


Concepts: Ohr, Keli (energy, container); Ohr Pnimi
