Editing The Name Elokim (section)

==== In Atik ====
In Atik, the name Elokim and the name Havaya are truly one thing. The concept is that "there is no left in this Atik," meaning that gevurah in Atik is not opposite from chesed in it, but they are truly one thing. This can be understood through an analogy: the power of giving in the hand is only possible because the end of the hand is divided into five fingers. In order to grasp a coin and give it to a poor person, it's impossible without dividing the hand into fingers – meaning, specifically through constriction and division into details is giving made possible.

These five gevuros (mantzepach) as they are in the inner dimension of Keser (Atik) are also called "botzina d'kardonisa," and they are what fell from the source not through the measuring line in an orderly fashion but through striking. Like the analogy of a person who suddenly receives wisdom completely beyond his level. The analogy for this is the sparks that fly in all directions from hot iron when the blacksmith strikes it with a hammer, or the sparks that emerge from concealment to revelation when striking a rock with a hammer – in this there is the aspect of "the power that divides" (the striking hand) and "the power that is divided" (the sparks that came out from concealment to revelation).

The analogue: in order to combine letters into words (for the purpose of creating the world), the five letters of mantzepach are both the dividing power (that "brings out" the letters from concealment, taking one letter from the throat and a second letter from the tongue, etc.) and also makes and combines them into words and sentences.
