Zohar and Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah

Both texts affirm that Ohr Ein Sof permeates and sustains all levels (supernal manifestations). Text 1 emphasizes Ein Sof as present 'in all degrees' through Mochin (intellective vessels), describing it as 'enlightenment/vision of Ein Sof.' Text 2 describes a hidden Rakia that 'illuminates all of them' and 'takes them in its vessels.' Text 1 emphasizes the interior lights (orot pnimim), while Text 2 emphasizes the encompassing/surrounding quality (sovev). Text 1's framework centers on internal divine manifestation through structured Sefirot, while Text 2's emphasis falls on transcendent hiddenness with encompassing sustenance—different methodological emphases on how Ein Sof relates to creation.
