Der Alter,

How then do you explain the use of yeitzer, causer of forms, rather than the more pro-active yotzeir, shaper.You also seem to suggest that there is only one yeitzer, our G-dlike creative force, and ra vs tov describes how it is used. This shifts the human decision of good vs evil out of the domain of choosing between the two yetzarim. Doesnt that run counter to the language of maamarei Chazal?

I am instead relying more on a model like the Meshekh Chokhmah (on the pasuq naaseh adam) that our G-dliness is in our free choice. This then is pulled by two yetzarim, and therefore can leave differing effects on the world.

Perhaps the topic needs more hammering out on a discussion venue like Avodah.

I always thought that yetzer is connecte to yetzirah in the sense that it is the creative force. The creative force in an individual is his essential Tzelem Elokim - used properly, it is tov; improperly, ra.

[] Afterward: The Origin of the Yeitzer haRa The question of where the yeitzer hara comes from can be asked in two ways  historically, and developmentally. Both were addressed in the past. The historical origin is with eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. This internalized the mixture of motivations, some good, some evil. See The Origins of Imperfection. That essay is primarily about the physical vs. spiritual dichotomy. []
