Hello,
I was reading the recommended text, Kabbalah for the student, the Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah.
In the text this Question is posed:
“…why is there the matter of the multiplicity of
Partzufim, Sefirot, and interchangeable connections, which are so abundant in
the books of Kabbalah”I didn’t really understand the answer about anatomy of a small animal. It seems confusing to have different words which essentially mean the same thing. Can you help me understand
Seth,
Thank you for replying so kindly. I was a bit embarrassed by my question a while after I posted it.

Seth,
So is “Ein Sof”, which I don’t claim to understand, is like light radiating from all points that is without end?
You say the creator withdrew himself, is that what you mean a restriction is? I can see if Ein Sof is light without end and radiates from all points that a restriction would allow the spiritual mass and I guess a type of spiritual gravity
Thanks,

Edit: Seth I thought I replied to your post, but I guess I didn’t
Here’s my intital question:
Hello,
What is meant by restriction? I really don’t think I’m clear on this. How does the light react to a restriction? I sort of think through restrictions your system of worlds is built. Appreciate the clarity.
Here’s your response:
Curtis,
The ARI opens the Tree of Life by explaining to us that before the emanated beings were emanated and the creatures were created, everything was one Light called the Light Without End (Or Ein Sof). And then in the middle of that eternal light. The Creator withdrew Himself to make a place for creation.
