Here, then, is how Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em>\u2019s inner light manages in fact to make contact with its encompassing light, bit by bit. After reporting that AV<\/em> emits its inner light from its \u201chair\u201d, and SaG<\/em> emits its from its \u201cears\u201d\u00a0and below, Ramchal offers the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe upper lights emit from the \u2018ears\u2019 — ten from its right side and ten from its left \u2026 down to the \u2018chin\u2019. The middle lights emit from the \u2018nose\u2019 — ten from its right side and ten from its left \u2026 down to the \u2018chest\u2019. The lower lights emit from the \u2018mouth\u2019\u201d, then some more lights emit from \u201cboth \u2018ears\u2019 and both \u2018nostrils\u2019 \u2026 and they incorporate into the two \u2018jaws\u2019 \u2026 down to the \u2018navel\u2019\u201d (Klallot HaIlan <\/em>1:3).<\/p>\n

Suffice it to say that there are alternately complex and simple explanations for each phenomenon, but at bottom it comes to the fact that this is what a prophet or special soul would envision — these are simply the facts in the heavens.<\/p>\n
