In the book Otzrot Chaim at its beginning, it briefly describes the order of Hishtalshelut at the beginning of creation. After explaining the concept of Tzimtzum, it continues:<blockquote>"And when He contracted Himself, then through another side of this circular void, He drew light through one straight, thin line like a pipe—light extending from the Ein Sof into this void, filling it. But a vacant space remained between the light within this void and the light of the Ein Sof surrounding this void as mentioned, which contracted to its sides. And the end of this line below also does not touch the light of the Ein Sof itself, for if it did, the matter would return to what it was, and this light within the void would reconnect with the light of the Ein Sof as it was at first."
