ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson
the descent of Malchut from NE back to Peh. As a result, ELEH = AHP ascended
to the Rosh and there received the Light of GAR (Hochma).
Upon descending to Peh, Malchut is called MA, as that is the name of the
lower world. Her screen in the Peh makes a Zivug, onto which descends Ohr
Hassadim, called “Light of blessing,” for it abolishes the prohibition and the lock
imposed on the diffusion of Light.
- When the letters Hey and Yod wished to complement one another, the
letter Mem emerged from them, and the word ELO-HIM = ELE + Hey +
Yod + Mem was formed by the union of both sides. The word AVAR + Hey
- Mem = Avraham originated from ELEH. However, one might say that the
Creator took the words ELEH and MI, joined them and formed the word
ELOKIM, whereas the words MA and AVAR formed the word Avraham,
where the word MI designates the fifty gates of Bina, and the word MA refers
to the numerical value of the holy name, for HaVaYaH with the filling of the
letter Aleph forms the Gematria of MA—45.
Both this world and the world to come exist in these two letters, Yod and
Hey. This world is in Yod, and the world to come is in Hey. Hence, the world to
come was created with MI, and this world with MA.
It is therefore written: “These are the created (Be-Hibar’am) generations
of Heaven and earth,” where the letters Be-Hibar’am make up the word
“Avraham,” for there was no perfection until the letters formed this word.
Therefore, the Creator’s name HaVaYaH is first mentioned in the Torah only
after the name Avraham.
Ohr Hassadim in MA and Ohr Hochma in ELEH wished to complement one
another and be complemented within one another. As a result, Ohr Hochma
clothed in Ohr Hassadim, and Malchut receives from both Hassadim and Hochma.
In so doing, MA and MI join and create MM, i.e., Malchut that receives Ohr
Hochma clothed in Ohr Hassadim from Above.
