Pure Clarity, Neither Salty Nor Sweet

כ"ז באדר תשס"ז

Just a quick observation about two shorashim: מלח and מלץ

מלח is the Hebrew root for "salt". Salt pertains to Gevurah and bitterness.

מלץ is the Hebrew root for "being sweet and pleasant". Sweetness and pleasantness pertain to Chesed.

Interestingly, the two shorashim are very similar, sharing the first two root letters (מל) and differing only with respect to the third root letter. The two differing letters cut from the shorashim together spell "clear" and "pure", in Hebrew צח.

Consequently, in terms of sacred femininity, we can see that pure clarity is not made of "sweet pleasantness" any more than it is made of "bitterness". Pure clarity is brought about by neutralizing and overcoming the obscuring effects of both circumstances and psycho-emotional dispositions.
