Source and Root of Chochma in the Worlds

Lessons in Likutay Torah | December 08, 2025

Beriyah is the highest of the created worlds, where the highest souls and angels exist. Asiya is the lowest of the created worlds, which contains the physical world. The wisdom that exists in the physical dimension is completely incomparable to the lofty spiritual wisdom of the world of Beriya. Nonetheless, since the Wisdom of Beriya is a type of wisdom that created beings can comprehend, it can serve as the source for the wisdom of all the lower created worlds, including the wisdom that exists in the physical world.

And similarly, for Chochma of Atzilus, even though it is described as “Wise, but not with a knowable Wisdom,” it is the source of the source of Chochma of Asiya.

The wisdom of Asiya, of the physical world, is derived from the wisdom of the world above it, the wisdom of Yetzira, which is derived from the wisdom of Beriya. Thus, even though Beriya is a stage removed from Asiya (separated by the world of Yetzira), nonetheless, it is ultimately the source of the wisdom of Asiya. Similary, even though Atzilus is far removed from the wisdom of Beriya, nonetheless, ultimately it is the source of the wisdom of Beriya. Based on this, even the wisdom of Asiya is actually derived from the wisdom of Atzilus, not directly, but as the source of the source of its wisdom.
