The conceptual point of this explanation (of the Maamorim of our Rebbeim, particularly the Maamorim of the Rebbe Rashab) is that ‘Matan Torah’ was a Divine ‘Hamshocho’ of Hashem’s Atzmus in a revealed way (inasmuch as revelation is possible concerning the ‘Atzmus’ of Hashem).

However, in order to create the world, there first had to be a contraction and concealment of the light of Atzmus, which is separate and elevated out of all ...
