We\u2019d already<\/a> cited the beginning of the complex laying-out of Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em>\u2019s various esoteric elements. What it\u2019s all meant to illustrate is the fact that while Adam Kadmon<\/em>\u2019s \u201cinner light and encompassing light are initially far from one another\u201d they nonetheless \u201csteadily come closer together, little by little\u201d, as Ramchal points out in his comments to Petach<\/em> 33. And as we\u2019ll find, they all do what they do in order to allow for the declension of the esoteric worlds — from Adam Kadmon<\/em> to Atzilut<\/em> to Briah<\/em> to Yetzirah<\/em> to Assiyah<\/em>, and eventually down to our own material world.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see how Ramchal sets this up and explains it reasoning as well as its relation to ourselves in the next few entries.<\/p>\n
