Samach Vav: Titen Emes LeYaakov, Part 3: Briah – darkness, Yetzirah – light
The ethereal nature of the primal “Yesh” of Briah renders it a world that is Bittul to Ohr, and thus, paradoxically, a world of “darkness”. The world of Yetzira, on the other hand, emerges as a world of reduced Ohr and more palpable Yesh and is thus perceivable as a world of revelation.
