Therefore, the Possuk says: וְׁשַבְׁתִי בְׁשָלוֹם אֶל־בֵּית אָבִי “I return in peace to my father's home” the word בְׁשָלוֹם ‘in peace’ can be split to read ב׳ - שָלוֹם highlighting ‘two aspects of peace’ like the Possuk says: שָלוֹם לָרָחוֹק שָלוֹם וְׁלַקָרוֹב “Peace, peace to the far and to the near" also including those who are far and come near, and on the contrary those who are far are mentioned first even before those who are near because of the virtue of repentance.

The Hamshocha of the ‘supernal Loven’ below descends into absolute union to the extent that it surpasses the very title of union altogether when the created existence and the genuine existence become one single entity together with all the commotion of this matter to the extent that it transcends the storm itself as the verse states: לֹּא בָרַעַש ה׳ “Hashem is not in the noise”.

This union even transcends higher than the קוֹל דְׁמָמָה דַקָה the “still small sound” because this “still small sound” symbolises the Divine revelation to the prophet through vision or through sound, whereas the union of the genuine existence and the created existence, means that the created being and the genuine being, actually become one entity.
