HOCHMA: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
“SWEAT OF LIFE”
The eternal soul of life that the Creator had
blown in his nostrils, only for the needs of
Adam ha Rishon, has departed because of the
sin of the Tree of Knowledge. It acquired a
new form, called “Sweat of Life,” meaning
the general has been divided into a great
many particulars, tiny drops, divided between
Adam ha Rishon and all his progeny through
the end of time.
It follows, that there are no changes in
the acts of the Creator, but there is rather an
additional form here. This common Light of
life, which was packed in the nose of Adam ha
Rishon has expanded into a long chain, revolving
on the wheel of transformation of form in
many bodies, body after body, until the necessary
end of correction.
