Could it be that when G-D contracted and withdrew from - Himself, leaving behind his- ABSENCE, (the Universe), and placing his - PRESENCE (the undefined Spirituality) - inside Man, that this is the precursor to what is meant by LOVING The Creator and joining the internal with the external?
Doesn't the PRESENT MOMENT actually --> NOT exist? Can't you continuously subdivide that instant into smaller and smaller bits, until it becomes infinitehesimally so?
Maybe the idea that you can exist separate from G-D, stems from the notion of a LIE! In other words, The Creator introduced The Tree of Confusion or the world of FALSEHOOD, in order that you should have a choice and make the right one!
nahama dekisufa,-literally bread of shame- is the utter vulnerability we have as soon as we realize we are not the souce of our own existence and ulmately we overcome the shme this produces by uniting in Love with our creator. The Zulaso is the concept of other which is that G-d made us have a perspective that allows us to see oursleves as independant of Him even though this is just a perspective which Hashem created for us to have to feel independant. the goal is to reunite and get passed and transform this perspective back to the truth of our ultimate unity with Hashem...
atzmuso the essence which carries all perspectives even contradictory ones etc..is the ultimate manner of describing G-d in Kaballah which we cannot even speak of
