Apropos to the various elements that went into the creation of rah<\/em>, as we\u2019d cited before<\/a>, Ramchal addresses a lofty and esoteric phenomenon known as Tsur<\/em> Tak<\/em> (\u05e6\u05d5”\u05e8 \u05d8”\u05e7) in his comments to Petach<\/em> 39. He says there that it was attributed with \u201cthe ability to bring the various phenomena from (a state of) nothingness to somethingness\u201d, which is obviously a very sublime function. He attributes it there to Sefer<\/em> Yetzirah<\/em>, when it fact it isn\u2019t there but rather at the beginning of Ra\u2019avad<\/em>\u2019s introduction to it, and it seems to derive from the ancient Heichalot<\/em> Rabbati<\/em>.<\/p>\n
