THE ATLAS OF THE ONE AND THE MANY

Giving without loss

undiminished giving
nature
The source pours and is never spent: the sun is not diminished by shining, a candle lighting a candle keeps its own flame, a teacher giving a proof still has it. Emanation is not a transfer of stuff.

The image the whole scheme rests on — and the one the Kabbalah keeps whole, while adding something in front of it that changes everything.

whyGiving that costs the giver nothing is the purest form of Chesed, and the least like a human being.
