== Nekudah HaAtzmit and Merhav HaAtzmi == Since Chochmah and Binah as included in their source are '''devoid''' of all their definitions (as stated in the first paragraph), it follows that as Chochmah and Binah are included in their source, they are '''not''' light, not revelation, not a point<ref>In the case of Chochma.</ref>, and not expansion<ref>In the case of Binah.</ref>. '''They are not light''' - similar to how the element of fire (beneath the moon's sphere) is dark and does not illuminate. '''They are not revelation''' - but rather concealment. That is, the fact that they are not revealed is not because something covers them, but because their existence is the existence of something that '''cannot''' be revealed (like air, for example. The fact that it cannot be seen is not because something covers or conceals it, but because it is something that cannot be seen). '''They are not point/expansion<ref>Sefer HaMaamarim 5703 page 54.</ref>''' - Chochmah as included in its source is not a particular point (of intellect/specific concept) - but rather a "self point" (including all types of intellects and inventions that could ever flow from the intellect), and similarly Binah - is not expansion in the sense of spreading out but rather "self space" (including everything that could ever expand and broaden in different ways and with various explanations, clarifications, examples, and analogies). Although we cannot grasp this reality (for this itself is the definition of "negative comprehension"), the intellect necessarily affirms that this is indeed the reality.
