Orot
Ozen-Chotem-Peh [ACHAP] As explained above, the dimesion of yosher of Adam Kadmon possesses a "man-like" form. The primary objective of Adam Kadmon is to emanate "vessels" to contain and reveal (to outer reality) its lights. For this sake, a process begins whereby lights are emanated from the "ears, nose, mouth" of Adam Kadmon. The lights (referred to as "vapors") which emit from the "ears" and "nose" are still too "spiritual" in nature to create a vessel. Nonetheless, they are necessary stages in preparation for the first vessel created by the vapor of the "mouth." The vapor of the "ears" descends to the "chin" of Ak. The vapor of the "nose" descends to the "chest" of Ak. The vapor of the "mouth" descends to the "naval" of Ak. The vapor of the "ears" corresponds to the spiritual soul-root of those souls of Israel whose primary "talent" is to comprehend ("hear") Divinity. The vapor of the "nose" corresponds to the spiritual soul-root of those souls of Israel whose primary "talent" is to serve God in devoted prayer ("the service of the heart"). The vapor of the "mouth" corresponds to the spiritual soul-root of those souls of Israel whose primary "talent" is to teach the words of Torah to others.
