Provérbios 8:35 Cabalá: Sha'arei Orah

Know that all wonders and miracles done in the times of the prophets, Tana’im and Amora’im, were possible because, in their prayers, they reached the Source of the Desire-Ratzon-רצון. Now, regarding more recent sages who were concerned about changes to the Desire-Ratzon-רצון, had they known what the Source called Desire-Ratzon-רצון is, they would not have been concerned, since one who knows this, knows that no changes take place in it.¹⁴⁹That is, Desire-Ratzon-רצון-346 has the same numerical value as His Name-Shmo-שמו-346, referring to HaShem-יהו״ה, about Whom the verse states (Malcachi 3:6), “I HaShem-יהו״ה have not changed,” and (Isaiah 42:8), “I am HaShem-יהו״ה, that is My Name,” and (Pirke d’Rabbi Eliezer, Ch. 3), “Before the creation of the world there was Him (Hoo-הוא) and His Name (Shmo-שמו) alone.” See at greater length in Ginat Egoz, by Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, the author of this book, translated as HaShem is One, Vol. 1, The Gate of Intrinsic Being (Shaar HaHavayah) and on. However, whoever merits to reach this Source in his prayers, can elicit all his needs from He who is Unlimited-Ein Gvul-אין גבול, as in the verse,¹⁵⁰Proverbs 8:35 (Also note the whole chapter of Proverbs 8 in line with what has been explained here.) “One who finds Me finds life, and elicits desire-Ratzon-רצון from HaShem-יהו״ה.” That is, he newly elicits and draws his desire from the Source of the Desire-Ratzon-רצון, from the Unlimited One-Ein Sof-אין סוף, the Singular Preexistent Intrinsic Unlimited Being, HaShem-יהו״ה Himself, blessed is He. Whoever understands this will not find any difficulty with changes to the natural order, or the introduction of wonders and miracles in the world.¹⁵¹Since, in the first place, the very existence of worlds is a novel wonder and miracle brought forth with absolute kindness and mercy from nothing by the Singular Preexistent Intrinsic Being, HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He and blessed is His Name. See at greater length in Ginat Egoz of the author, Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, translated as HaShem Is One, Vol. 1, The Gate of Intrinsic Being (Shaar HaHavayah) and on. For example, if there is a repository that contains everything in the world, whoever merits having the key to it in his possession, can obtain all his needs from there. Thus, what change in desire is there in this?
