קבלה אויף מיכה 5:1

I will hint at the matter further with the verse,³³⁶Micah 5:1 “His origins will be from preceding times-MiKedem-מקדם, from days of old.” That is, certainly “his origins-Motza’otav-מוצאותיו” are from “preceding times-MiKedem-מקדם.” For, it is from Preexistence-Kedem-קדם that the spreading of thought-Machshavah-מחשבה came forth, along with the revelation of the Sefirot. As long as the Sefirah of preexistence-Kedem-קדם shines its face and is revealed, all the Sefirot are in a state of bliss, tranquility, and joy, and all the worlds are in a desirable state.
