Segment 1
שַׁיָּךְ לָעִנְיָן הַנִּדְפָּס בְּסוֹף סִפּוּרֵי-מַעֲשִׂיּוֹת הַמַּתְחִיל דַּע שֶׁיֵּשׁ שְׁנֵי מִינֵי פָּלָטִין בְּאֶחָד דָּר מֶלֶךְ וּבְאֶחָד דָּר עֶבֶד וְכוּ' כְּשֶׁעוֹבְדִין הַשֵּׁם וַעֲדַיִן הוּא בִּבְחִינַת עֶבֶד עֲדַיִן
(16.) Pertaining to the New Aleph-Beis [the New Book of Attributes], under the letter Dalet, Da'as [Knowledge], Torah §1 — which begins: "Know that in all the worlds and in every creature there is a unique form/stature" — for example, the species of the lion etc., and all the distinctions are hinted at in the forms of the letters in their combinations, and one who merits to understand the Torah etc. — it appears to me that this is the matter of the conversation I heard from his holy mouth before the Sabbath of Chanuka 5565 [1804], about the creatures of the world: that all the forms and shapes of all human beings are included in the word Adam [man] that G-d said [Genesis 1:26] "na'aseh Adam" — "let us make man." For in this word Adam that Hashem Yisburach said "let us make man" — in this word are included all types of forms of all human beings in the world. And likewise in the word behemah [animal] and chayah [living creature] mentioned in the account of Creation — in this word too there are included all the forms of every animal and living creature. And so for the other creatures. And he elaborated at length in this conversation, and he said then that there exist wisdoms even in this world through which one can live on them alone, without any eating and drinking. And he elaborated a great deal in this conversation, and we did not merit to write it.
