Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Histaklut Pnimit. Chapter 6.  #4 (Know, that these above five levels that emerge  .. )

Item 4 “Regarding the clothing of the lights and the vessel....”(00:01 - 02:11)

35. R. This is the way all of the Sefirot are connected when Malchut realizes herself all the way she builds Keter if she can build herself less than that she only builds with the level of Hochma, but Malchut creates all of those levels and therefore it all connects and becomes filled according to the refinement of Malchut who attains to the extent that she adjusts herself to the upper light.

36. S. (02:51) What does it mean that Malchut is realizing itself?

R. Malchut does the restriction making the reflected light, she exerts through her operation to reach equivalence of form with the upper force as much as she can dressing in the upper light according to her similarity to the extent that she can be in the same intention to bestow toward the upper light according to the level of the intention so she dresses the upper light, she attains it.

S. The upper light is clothed through the first nine?

R. She builds the first nine Sefirot because the light comes to her through those means nothing the question is she makes the restriction, the screen and the reflected light to the extent that she by her reflected light Ohr Hozer reveals what she receives from the Creator and the revelation of the discovery is only by equivalence, by similarity regarded as clothing the first nine to the extent of the power of her clothing, she reveals her relation to the Creator which is the NRNHY.

S. Clothing on the first nine Sefirot in what quality does she clothed?

R. Only bestowal to the extent that she receives from the nine Sefirot what she receives is a relation of the Creator how he bestows upon her, she can attain it by dressing over it. Let's say you have ten courses from your host and now you are going to receive them in order to bestow, you begin with the smallest light Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida to the extent that you can sympathize, identify with the host exactly that “I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me”. Likewise is the clothing of the reflected light on the direct light.

37. S. (05:22) When there is this clothing it means there are Sefirot horizontally or only vertically?

R. So how is this relevant, horizontally or vertically?

S. Because they are different kinds.

R. It is already incorporation, it's not important what is important that Malchut attains a part of what the Creator gives her according to her reflected light to the extent that her reflected light can clothe in direct light so she attains, just like you to the extent that you can pay for the five courses that the host gives you, to that extent you get what he gives you. Any more than that you can't get. You can receive only according to your reflecting light, that is it and it doesn't matter right now if it is horizontal or vertical, this is what you receive to the extent that you ascend in height you also spread horizontally because you have the incorporation of the Sefirot in that as well.

38. S. (06:47) It turns out the work is with the greatest coarseness?

R. No, the work begins with the smallest coarseness NRNHY this is how we attain from below upward how can do the biggest light? Only by developing and expanding your vessel of Malchut more and more.

S. He writes that he had attained the root only after it refines the vessel all the way.

R. On what root level does he speak, on the root of the coarseness or the root of the light or the root of the vessels, see what he is talking about. Every operation from the created beings begins with the smallest light, it actually begins with the restriction, screen, the calculation and then the clothing begins. It can't be any other way only in this way. Consistently and very accurately.

39. S. (08:06) My payment for the host is that I am refusing to receive and struggling until I feel the value of what he is giving?

R. You make the restriction until through reception you can give to the host just like he wants to give to you. If you can give to him by receiving these lights, if you can give back to him the pleasure, then you receive. Because all of your reception should be only in order to bestow just like his giving is in order to bestow upon you.

S. How to reach that?

R. By exerting in the group to do the same towards of friend try to play with it as much as you can to see, it will give you all kinds of discernments and understanding, feelings of how to do it toward the Creator, this is why the our world was created the way it is this is why the vessel of Adam HaRishon broke so that we through our relationships will be able to depict, program and realize our operations towards the Creator. Therefore, through bestowing upon the friends you can bestow upon the Creator and not otherwise, if you don't bestow upon the friends first, it doesn't get to the Creator. This is a very strict condition but we have no choice. We have to agree with it because this is how reality is built, it is nature, it is the law.

41. S. (10:06) What does it mean to be clothed in?

R. Clothing means attaining, like embracing, you understand? You feel and sympathize with it.

42. S. (10:34) What does it mean when he says the more important the light is it can clothe in a more refined vessel?  How can you tell about the light if it is more or less important?

R. From our perspective, from the perspective of Kabbalists before it comes to the Kabbalists for those who receive it, it is one simple light but what did answer the vessels addresses according to the vessels. Then the greater it is the more refined vessel it needs. Refined means that it is coarser but with bigger restriction and a screen.

S. The more important the light is clothed in the more refined vessel?

R. I just told you, it is coarser with a thicker, stronger screen and with stronger reflected light and then it can clothe a greater direct light.

S. It is intensity of the light?

R. Power of the coarseness and the light.

S. Of bestowing?

R. Yes, we should now start feeling these things, to try to actually implement it so we don't miss out on the opportunities that we are given, you are the last generation.

S. What do you mean I have to feel this, in words how can I feel this?

R. Make efforts to feel.

S. To feel inside?

R. Yes in your gut, in your belly, really.

Item 5 “The vessels emerged from one above the other from Malchut ....” ( 12:27 - 14:30)

43. S. The reflected light is actually the refinement he calls it?

R. The reflected light is not the refinement, it is light that clothes the direct light, a light that comes from the screen from the coarseness of the vessel, it is the desire of the guest to bestow to the host that is the reflected light. There are many kinds in it. There is already also clothing the reflected light when he is all ready to receive from the host to become a vessel.

S. So, what does it mean that after Malchut was refined from 4 to 3 what is the process?

R. When Phase 4 was refined and Phase 3 of coarseness was made his reflected light diminished from Yechida to Haya which revealed and allowed himself to reveal from the host or the Creator a smaller light, the light Haya.

44. S. (16:09) What is the addition of bestowing on behalf of the Malchut and the refining of the screen?

R. In the refining of the screen Malchut can bestow less because she causes the refining of the screen by herself because she feels the Light operating on her shows her that she is incapable, therefore she becomes refined and abandons the connection with the host just like the example of the guest and the host.

45. S. (17:01) If you could there is a refining of the screen that all of the degrees get impressions of the departing of the lights and then there is the reflected light that clothed in the vessel of Malchut can you explain what that process is?

R. You have a screen in the Peh of the Rosh, it has a coupling by striking and receives what it can of the inner light but it can't receive remains as surrounding light and then you have the beating of the inner light and outer and the surrounding on the Tabur and it becomes refined as a result with the light coming out from the Partzuf, then the screen becomes refine from Tabur to Peh, what are you asking about this?

S. After the impression from all of the Sefirot that clothed in Malchut again this is already a demand of the lower one for himself?

R. No again the upper one constantly presses and the lower one when it comes to the Peh of the Rosh, it enters the upper light again the coupling by striking it receives another awakening from the upper that he he to bestow upon the host and it begins the operation all over.

S. Is there an addition when the upper light clothes?

R. Of course there is a big difference of what you have in Galgatta and AB in terms of how they behave from the perspective of the light and from the perspective of the coarseness.

46. S. (18:52) Why is there no purification of the root discernment what makes the vessel suitable for Ohr Yechida? 

R. I didn't understand, of course the light becomes refined leaves the Kli includes the root phase until it becomes included in the Peh de Rosh as learned in Part two of TES, the refining has to be over all of them. The root coarseness also becomes refined. We are less than root coarseness, now we are striving to root coarseness then we would feel the Creator feels all of reality, even though we wouldn't make contact with the Creator but we would feel that his glory fills the world.

47. S. (20:05) What refines the screen or the coarseness? 

R. Coarseness never becomes refined only the screen becomes refined, the power of the resistance to the will to receive in Phase 4 in order to work with it in order to bestow. The power of resistance disappears and what is left is only power to work with phase 3 in order to bestow in this is how this screen gradually becomes we find this Tabur to Peh.

48. S. (20:49) When will we shake hands again will it be about Purim time or will this be prohibited?

R. What do you mean shake hands?

S. Physical contact with strangers.

R. I think that physical contact will allow us to meet when we come to an internal connection and this is why the physical disconnection, relative disconnection we have now, is in order for us to really awaken the internal connection to not disrupt our internal connection to implement, realizing our internal connection. When we achieve internal connection we will probably be able to resume physical contact then we will have more work, so to prevent the physical contact from interfering and disrupting us. But the physical connection between us will also awaken and increase the inner connection. That is a good question.

49. S. (22:27) The refinement, is it parallel to the contraction?

R. No, we will talk about it, the contraction, the refinement is not contraction, no. Contraction is when I come to clear out my will to receive from the intention to receive so to later achieve the aim to bestow this is called contraction.

50. S. (23:06) Why is Malchut always refined to rise?

R.  The surrounding light presses her and tells her how much do you need to receive, one gram in order to receive from the host, what about the rest? So you don't want to receive more? You do. But you can't. So what do you get out of trespassing?  In spirituality if you trespass to bestow It's not considered to bestow you have more desires to receive 100% from the house but you only received one gram, what is it worth? It's worth it. So Malchut feels like she can't cope with it as if it is nothing, a boundary. Tell your wife you love her two hours a day, tell her and see how she reacts to it. In other words for connection, for love, for bestowal there are no boundaries, with all of your might if you can't do more that's different but you have to know. This is why he knows this is his boundary and he disagrees that it's really not so and therefore it becomes refined. He quits this business, when he quits he discovers that the host still wants very much and he is doing everything for him to receive in order to bestow that gives him additional strength the screen to return to the Peh of the Rosh receives reinvigoration and then receive the second portion and then it's on the degree of AB.

S: He ascends to the place of Peh so that place will be filled with light after?

R. The fact that he received form Peh to Tabur, he already received to bestow when he stands in Tabur the surrounding light comes  to him and tells him what did you receive 1% where is the other 99%. Then he has no choice and he becomes refined again because he sees as if he didn't do anything, that there is a boundary and once there is a boundary there is no love, no connection. I am your friend only as much as a hundred rubles, that's not a friend anymore, spirituality means you go all the way, all out this is why here he attains through all of the Partzufim all of the ups and downs until he breaks, yes Adam HaRishon. He attains how much he cannot please the host as forcefully and powerfully as the host pleases him and in love they cannot meet in an unequal state they have to be like that to each other on the same level in the same plane. This is what he attains is his own boundary that is actually incapable of anything and as a result when he breaks, Adam, by this he later finds the solution out of the breaking. Why of the breaking, because the vessels of bestowal and reception are included in each other and then you can build corrections in a different way. Over the connections between them, over the incorporations between them and then we are in Adam HaRishon to correct ourselves the way we are doing now. we will talk about it these are more internal stages.

S. So I don't understand? What does the friend add here, if we are friends only in $100, I will be a $90 friend.

R. Why, I don't understand?

S. What can the created being give more to the Creator by refining?

R. By breaking and out of the breaking, out of the shattering you can emerge with the friends, with alien desires, desires outside of you and you can connect to them even though you can't and don't want to, but you turn to the host and you asked him to correct you. Otherwise you can't achieve bestowal upon him and the host tells you about your request, answers your request and connects you to the other parts because your vessel broke, which are the friends in the ten. Then you ask him, you do it for me because without it I can't bestow anything upon you were totally disconnected from each other, so you demand is of him and then he corrects your connection to the friends despite your ego, despite your control and all of that, you relinquish all of it and are willing to be zero. Just as long as you connect to them and in the connection with them, precisely in the seam between you where you connect in that seam, in that stitch you feel between those parts as they connect in them you begin to feel the revelation of the Creator. Do you understand? There where you are opposed to one another and at the same time above that opposition you want to connect to one another so you have both the coarseness where you are disconnected but you want to connect and yet above it you are connected above it. Then love covers all the crimes according to the mutual intensity between the breaking and the connection you discover the Creator's power of bestowal. It is all in preparation from above downwards and how we do it from the vessel from below upward. It is a beautiful thing.

51. S. (30:16) You said the surrounding light presses Malchut, can it be said that the pressure of the surrounding light upon Malchut forces her to perform the restriction screen and reflected light?

R. Everything is right, only the pressure of the light from above forces the created being to perform all corrections gradually. 

52. S. (30:48) The light presses Phase 4, does Phase 4 have the expectation to receive all of the surrounding light?

R. The 4th Phase has the desire to receive all of the light before her and order to receive and then gradually she digests it in order to bestow like the guest and the host, same example.

53. S. (31:36) What is the borderline between external and internal states?

R. The border is that you connect with your friends and you can't see the borders, all the borders and all problems and all disturbances are until we connect in the 10.

Item 6 “The opposite value between the Hitpashtut of the light ....” (32:20 - 34:14)

54. R. Here also there is an opposite value between lights and vessels and the clothing of the lights in the vessels.

Item 7 “The five Kelim KHBTM were made in the ....” (34:23 - 34:59)

Item 8 “From the second Histaklut from below upward ....” (35:00 - 35:49)

Item 9 “The Eser Sefirot that expand from the Tabur ....” (35:50 - 36:49)

55. R. All of the lights that expand from above downwards it is the light of Hochma clothed in Hassadim and that is the main thing that from Peh to the Tabur we can receive in the Partzuf is called Akudim, because it is wrapped in the reflected light that comes from the Malchut which is also called looking, because it comes from above downward with our reflected light that we raised from below upward. 

56. S. (37:32) Did the breaking save Adam from Amalek to give him the possibility to receive in order to bestow?

R. It is not only the shattering but the shattering is the beginning of the correction.
