Question: Baal HaSulam introduces the concept of Reshimot in TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), which are the primary cause of all subsequent desires, both in the spiritual and even in the corporeal world. What is the difference between Reshimot and, say, a Sefira filled with Light?

Answer: A Sefira is a desire created by the Creator, striving to be filled with the light toward which it is directed.

Therefore, all the desires that existed at the very beginning of creation wish to be filled with the light that was originally within them. This is precisely the difference between the desires before the First Restriction (Tzimtzum Alef) and those after it.
