In all of the wisdom of Kabbalah, there is no Atzmuto. It’s just that after a Kabbalist attains the 125 degree he feels there is something else, which he cannot attain, so that’s called Atzmuto. All that we attain is that we definitely do not attain that. We don’t know, perhaps when all of humanity attains, each one his personal correction and we become one thing, after that there are additional degrees for us. But that’s just “perhaps.” Gmar Tikkun is the 6000 years. We know, from Baal HaSulam that there are also the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th millennia, which aren’t written about. And that’s still not Atzmuto! If Gmar Tikkun is unimaginable, so the 7th millennium, we’re just making fun of ourselves to try and fantasize about it, let alone beyond that.
Baal HaSulam writes that a prayer of many is a prayer for the many. Thus, I need at least one other, who is outside me, to pray for.
1. Of course, these speak of the same process.
2. At the end of the day, you’re asking about Atzmuto, which we don’t and can’t speak of. It’s not because it’s ‘forbidden’ but because it will turn out that with whatever we imagine, we won’t even be reaching as high as the Creator that Kabbalists speak of. We’ll just be confusing ourselves.
3. No, we still are not the Light, and we never become the Light. We remain the Will to Receive. We only become Equivalent to the Light in the form that the Will to Receive takes. In the end, there is still the Creator and Created Being, and in this, the Plan of Creation is completed.
A prayer of many is a prayer for the whole. But coming to something you all want is also part of the work. Don’t wait to turn to the Creator, but also try to arrive at something common between you.
