Part 2: Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 6. Part 15, item 200-229

Original lesson date: 01.03.2018

Reader: We are reading from TES, part 15, page 803 in Hebrew, there is no English text for it. We are reading item 200. As always, you can ask questions on kab.tv and selected questions will be asked during the lesson. 

Reader: 200

Reading: (0:22) It has been clarified for us in the explanations of the Nukva of Zeir Anpin and regarding the diminution of the moon, that during the entire time of the exile ZON are standing face to face during all the weekdays, except for the times of the prayer and on the days of Shabbat, etc., as it has been clarified there.

And when, sorry, they are back-to-back. When they want to come back face to face, first there has to be the dropping of the Dormita on Zeir Anpin so that the sawing off will occur and it can come back to him with Panim be Panim, as it says in the explanations about Rosh Hashanah. 

M. Laitman: Let's read it for now, all of it.

Reader: 201

Reading: (01:11) And because the matter of Mordechai and Esther was at the end of the 70 years of the exile of Babylon, as is known, therefore back in their days began the matter of the correction of ZON in order to come back to Panim be Panim, so Israel will be redeemed. And the matter of this beginning is the matter of the Dormita, of the slumber that occurred in their days.

Reader: 202

Reading: (01:41) And this is the matter of the huge trouble that Israel had back then, about which it was said, "and there was great terror and darkness," etc. And our sages said that this darkness is the exile of Madai when he darkened the eyes of Israel.

And the matter of it is that back then Zeir Anpin was in the state of Dormita, of slumber, sleep. And it is known that Haman the wicked was a great astrologer and this is known about the matter of, "and he cast the Pur," which is about fate each and every day, especially what it says in the book of Zohar, that he and his ten sons include all the external ten Klipot. And he knew in his wisdom the matter of the diminution of His providence over Israel during those days as He was in the state of sleeping.

Therefore he contemplated and thought that the time is right to obliterate the enemies of Israel.

Reader: 203

Reading: (02:52) This is the matter of the argument of Haman with Achashverosh whether this council will succeed by then.

And Haman replied to him, "There is a people," etc. And our sages said, "Their God is asleep." Understand that.

And since this slumber was for the benefit of Israel so that the female will be sawed off from the back and it will come back to a state of face to face, and Israel will be redeemed, and the Temple will be built. Therefore both of them consulted because at that time when their God is asleep they will come first and be able to destroy and obliterate the enemies of Israel so that not even a few of them will remain who will be worthy of redemption. And by that the Temple will not be built.

And as is known, the council of Haman with Shimshi the Scribe and his son and their writings to Achashverosh who is called Artachshashta in the book of Ezra saw that they will cancel the building of the Temple because they saw that it was time to build it and this is enough.

Reader: 204

Reading: (04:17) But even during the time of the Dormita, of the slumber, the female does not sleep because then the Mochin depart from Zeir Anpin and they enter the Nukva in order to build and correct its Partzuf so that it can come back to being Panim be Panim as is known about the explanation of the Shofar, the horn of Rosh Hashanah.

Necessarily there is illumination and providence over Israel from her side and the matter of that illumination was the matter of Mordechai the Righteous as we will explain with God's help.

Reader: 205

Reading: (04:56) And when Haman saw Mordechai that by him there was illumination and providence over Israel at that time he consulted with Zeresh his wife and his 265 consultants, etc.

And our sages said that Zeresh his wife was a great witch and her advice was worth more than all his 365 advisors and their advice was to kill Mordechai and hang him on the tree. This is the tale of the serpent or the continuation of the monkey's leg as we explain and mention in the Song of Songs.

Reader: 206

Reading: (05:41) 206. And if, God forbid, so it will occur later on the enemies of Israel will be able to destroy them, then the Creator in His mercy shined the illumination of the upper Nukva and it is the greatness of Mordechai and Esther, and by them Israel was saved from that great trouble, as we will explain, and this is the matter of Mordechai and his illumination.

Reader: 207

Reading: (06:11) You should know that during the time of the slumber of Zeir Anpin not only did the Mochin of Zeir Anpin enter from the side of NHY of Ima and they entered the Nukva of Rachel when she is back to back but also the Mochin of the NHY of Abba as it says, "And the Lord God built the rib" which is Abba and Ima.

Reader: 208

Reading: (06:42) And it follows that as when these Mochin were inside of Zeir Anpin two illuminations would come out of them to the outside in terms of the illumination of Mochin of Abba, Yaakov comes from the side of the face of Zeir Anpin in terms of the illumination of the Mochin of Ima, Rachel comes out of his backside.

So now also come out of Rachel the Nukva of Zeir Anpin, these two illuminations also without a doubt.

Reader: 209

Reading: (07:17) And furthermore, while the above mentioned Mochin is in the female a third illumination is added which was not so when they were inside of Zeir Anpin and it is because while they were inside of Zeir Anpin, Yesod of Ima was completed or ended in the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, and Yesod of Abba which is longer as is known ended in the Sium of the Yesod of Zeir Anpin, truly, and would not come out of the Yesod at all.

Reader: 210 

Reading: (07:53) But now since the Mochin are in the Nekeva and its Yesod is a short Nukva, then the Yesod of Abba has to spread and come out of the Yesod of Nukva, and his illumination will be revealed completely. And it's known that that which dresses in the Yesod of Zeir Anpin is the crown of the Yesod of Abba which is the Malchut of Abba and there is no doubt, because this illumination which is revealed in the Malchut of Abba is a tremendous illumination. 

Reader: 211

Reading: (08:36) And the root of the soul of Mordechai came from that illumination, and therefore the salvation of Israel came at that time by him. And this is insinuated in the name Mordechai, as our forefathers said that it's Mira Dachya, Mordechai the translation of Mor Dror which is also called Mor Avera. 

Reader: 212

Reading: (09:09) And the thing is that that great illumination is Mor Dror, pure and clean that passes from the mouth of the Yesod of Nukva outwards and this is the secret of "Yadai Natfu Mor Over". And in this we can understand the virtue of Mordechai that rose to the Malchut and became second to the Queen. And this means "and Mordechai came before the King dressed in gold and garments." 

Reader: 213

Reading: (09:48) And from here we can understand that the matter of coming out from before the King is Rachel, and with a great crown of gold from the Atara of Yesod of Abba, and therefore it's called great because the Hesed in Hochma is called great, as it says that He is great and almighty. And from here we can also understand that it comes from the Shevet, the tribe of Binyamin. 

Reader: 214

Reading: (10:25) And this is the reading of the scroll and also its expansion during the reading in order to publicize the miracle and it is the crown of Malchut of Abba that is revealed and comes outwards, and therefore it's called Megillah from the word revelation and you have to reveal it. Also, Megillah without Yud in Gematria is Ein Chet as the three HaVaYot - Kav Vav, Kav Vav, Kav Vav which are the matter of the three Mochin, the HBD, the NHY of Abba that are revealed there in the Malchut.

Reader: 215

Reading: (11:08) And this is the matter of the Megillah, the scroll being called Igeret and being called book and it has judgments like the written Torah because the book of Torah is the Yesod of Abba which is called the written Torah. The form of book is like a long Vav and the Megillah, the scroll is like the illumination coming out of the Yesod as mentioned and it is also long like the shape of the Vav, and the Torah of the Megillah is also long.

Reader: 216

Reading: (11:48) And in the days of Purim, each and every year, since the days of Purim come each and every year and it was not enough to do it at that time and the thing is that the Creator with His great mercy wanted for that illumination to renew itself since the Mochin of Arich Anpin within the Nukva at the time of Dormita [slumber] of Zeir Anpin.

Reader: 217

Reading: (12:20)  After the Dormita they returned to be Panim be Panim, face to face, and the Mochin is in the Zeir Anpin and this illumination doesn't come out at all then. And the illumination of Mordechai is completely annulled and disappears inside. And the Creator wanted that every year during the days of Purim even if the ZON will be face to face, the illumination, the mentioned illumination in those days, shall be revealed and will not be annulled.

Reader: 218

Reading: (12:57) And the thing is that each and every year during those days when the Mochin in Rachel enter in the secret of Dormita of Zeir Anpin even though that later on they'll return to be face to face that mentioned illumination will not be cancelled and it will remain there and it remains even after those Mochin depart from her and return to Zeir Anpin.

Reader: 219

Reading: (13:28) And this is what the writing says, that "Bezikhram lo yasuf mizra'am" because that illumination is the crown of the Yesod of the Zachar of Abba which is called Zachar as known and this recollection will not add to their seed in Purim like in each and every year. 

Reader: 220

Reading: (13:56) Therefore, in the future all the holidays will be revoked except for the scroll of Esther. And the reason is because there was never such a great miracle, not on the Sabbath and not on the good day, for this illumination, even after the departure of the Mochin from the Nekeva. Rather on the days of Purim alone, and in this discernment there is a great advantage of Purim over all other days including Sabbath and the good day.

Reader: 221

Reading: (14:30) And every year in the days of Purim in order to sustain the aforementioned illumination we have to perform three Mitzvot, three commandments. And they are: reading of the scroll in order to continue and reveal that mentioned illumination that is coming out as it's revealed, and we need additional two discernments.

Reader: 222

Reading: (14:55) And these are one - the illumination of Yesod of Abba in Rachel for the sake of the correction of the structure of her Partzuf, because therefore the Mochin that were mentioned enter into her in order to grow her and make her into a Partzuf. And this is the meaning of the gifts to the poor ones, because Rachel is called poor and the Yesod of Abba, called Righteous, gives her charity and gifts. And this illumination is sustained when we give below gifts to the poor ones and by this Mitzvah, by this commandment the same happens above.

Reader: 223 

Reading: (15:40) And the second discernment is that after the Partzuf of Rachel was corrected through charity and gifts to the poor ones we need an additional illumination to exist in it which is the Mochin themselves that are clothed inside the Partzuf of her ten Sefirot during the Dormita, the slumber, and the illumination that was mentioned in the Mochin need to exist there all those days called Purim and it will remain existing there even if the Mochin of AVI will depart after the Dormita, after the slumber and she will return face to face. And with all that mentioned, the illumination of this Mochin will remain existing in her Mochin and will never depart completely as in all the other times and this depends on the keeping of another Mitzvah, another commandment and that is to hold a Purim feast of drink and joy.

Reader: 224 

Reading: (16:48) This is the matter of eating and drinking, as it's explained with us that the Mochin of the Nekeva is called Yud-Hey Yud-Hey and they are made from the discernment of Yud-Hey and they extend in her through eating and drinking and this is the meaning of eating, Achila, Achal Yud-Hey, Shtiya, Shat Shat Yud-Hey, because through the eating and the drinking she receives Mochin called Yud-Hey and it's also hinted in the word Achila [eating] which in Gematria equals to Adni, with the inclusive one, to indicate that the Mochin of Yud-Hey that extends through the eating are called Adni in the Nekeva, in the female.

Reader: 225 

Reading: (17:45) And Esther is also in Gematria, Tarsa and the name Adni when it's filled is Tara, 671, verses and the name of Esther is missing a Yud and inside of it, the inner point is concealed that is called Yud of Adni called Esther because she is concealed from the word Mistateret.

Reader: We are going to 226. 

Reading: (18:17) Gifts and offerings. Our sages said: two offerings to, two portions to one man, and two portions to two, and two gifts to two poor ones. And we have to see why with his friends they said, they call it Manot, portions and with one letter Tav and in the poor ones there is two letters Tav. You should know that the Yesod is called Ish and the main illumination of this day is the revelation of Yesod of Abba and he is Zachar, male and when he is clothed inside Yesod of Ima that's why it was mentioned Manot with one Tav because the letter Tav is from the side of the Nukva.

Reader: 227 

Reading: (19:05) In a way that the two portions are one from the side of Abba who is Mem-Nun of Manot, as you know, and one from the side of Yesod of Ima, and they are Ish who is Yesod of Abba to his friend who is Yesod of Zeir Anpin. Because if Abba is great then when he descends to the place of Yesod of Zeir Anpin he is called his friend, like Zeir Anpin when he descends into Yetzira when it was said about him "a man took out his shoe and gave it to his friend."

Reader: 228 

Reading: (19:48) In gifts to the poor they are from the side of Ima, that's why they have the letter Tav twice, because they are from the side of Nukva and they are two gifts to two poor ones, who are Netzach Hod who are poor. And you know about the willow that has no flavor and no smell, and they are called poor because Ima down to Hod, Ima expands down to Hod.

Reader: 229 

Reading: (20:20) And as our sages said that in the days of Purim you give to anyone who extends his hand and the matter is that the collector of the charity is Yesod and during the weekdays where is Yesod of Zeir Anpin you have to see who you give charity to, but now that it is Yesod of Abba, it's a great illumination, there is no need to look after it, rather anyone who extends his hand, he is given.

M. Laitman: (20:53) So, what's your impression? Everyone fell asleep? Okay, we can learn something here. We'll dedicate time. It's a very interesting process, also the way it's explained here in parallel to the famous holiday and the known discernments in corporeality, and also the inner spiritual explanation. The main thing, again, when we'll start talking then again it's going to be AVI, ZON and prayers coming from below of the broken Kelim. That's it. That's all there is. There aren't that many differences in all these actions, it's all from within. At a time that you're participating in it, then you feel the difference. Okay, we have 15 minutes left and then we're going to read the scroll, so what do we have? Passages, yes, what do you have there? 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:09) You need Arvut also to read TES? Together?

M. Laitman: I heard that anyone who wants to realize the purpose or implement the purpose of creation needs the Torah, the reforming light. The reforming light works only on a group that wants to connect; because this way, it reaches in order to bestow. And therefore, this group needs to be connected under a special law, a special rule called Arvut. I don't understand this question.

Student: Because there's a certain dilemma over this Arvut. 

M. Laitman: Who has?

Student: I do.

M. Laitman: So, say so. 

Student: Because when you say that we need Arvut, you're missing Arvut. OK, what do I do? And then everyone is waiting for Arvut, as if everyone is waiting. 

M. Laitman: Right. So, what, you invited it, there will come a scooter and bring it to you or what? 

Student: That's the thing, everyone is waiting for Arvut. 

M. Laitman: Who is waiting?

Student: What can I do?

M. Laitman: What does it mean to wait?

Student: I have to receive Arvut from the group.

M. Laitman: Who owes you that you're waiting?

Student: That's a good question. I want to do it myself, what can I do in order to catch myself that I'm not in Arvut? On the one hand…

M. Laitman: You have to realize the necessary actions towards the group without waiting for anyone, and perform these actions in a way by which you light up the hearts of the friends so they will do the same.

Student: What can I do in order to catch myself? What kind of exercises in order to identify...

M. Laitman: Not exercises, actions. Exercises are as if…It's as if I'll do an exercise. No, already real actions, not as if exercises.

Student: Okay, actions. What kind of actions I can do in order to ensure that all my friends will have an Arvut? How can I awaken the Arvut in you each time, because I also fall asleep?

M. Laitman: I don't know. I just know one thing; that I have to accept the group, see the group in a way that I'm responsible for their connection. I'm responsible for their connection, and this is what I have to care for all the time. All the time. I have nothing else to care for. I live in this world for so many years, and what I can do during that time is just try, and that group, there are millions and billions of people that don't have it. But the Creator, He wanted to bring me closer, that I'll be like Him. And I can become like Him by dedicating my entire life, my entire life to connecting these friends, these people, these souls, all of us together as one man in one heart. This means that I'm responsible for them towards the Creator. That's it.

Student: But I can't do it. Let's say, we now read an article, 20 minutes. 

M. Laitman: What does it have to do with reading the article? Arvut, these are actions in the group, and it's not about reading the article. 

Student: But I'm saying, during the reading of the article I was just washed over by it. I was unable to hold the intention. Not during the first article, in Rabash, 30 minutes we read it, when I'm fighting just to even, that everyone will fall asleep, and I'll be the last one to stay awake, the only one to keep the intention. I wasn't able to. It just washed over me. Even now, in TES, and before in Rabash. So if I'm getting washed over, it erases me, what can I do? How can I keep the Arvut? How can you demand of me to be in Arvut? I can't do it, also during the day.

M. Laitman: This too is related to the Arvut. When you together work on the form of bestowal that you can attain only in the group, where everyone cares only for the group, and when you attain the minimum form of bestowal, just canceling your ego, limiting it, restricting it, that already brings you to the first degree on the ladder as an embryo. So, you can do it only in the group, and your Kli is the group itself, not you. You only cancel yourself in order to receive these first nine, your friends. Maybe it's not nine, maybe it's five, maybe it's six, maybe it's four, doesn't matter how many, but it's always called Tet, nine, that you have to accept them, and that's it, this is your life. You have to bring them to Arvut. The truth is that they don't need this Arvut; they're all corrected at the end of correction, because this is only how it seems to you. Anyone who blemishes others does it because of his own flaws. But you have to exercise yourself, you have to do exercises in order to bring them to Arvut. This is how you express yourself towards the Creator.

Student: What can I do in order to keep myself in the work the whole time? I'm falling asleep.

M. Laitman: You have to play towards each other, to awaken each other as much as possible for this work, which is the most important thing. And also to ask the Creator to give you a certain illumination so that you'll feel that it's important. Put the group as your soul, the group is that Kli in which you receive the revelation of the Creator, and your entire work towards them is at least to cancel yourself, annul yourself. That's it. That's what you start with. Starting with, how do I perform the Tzimtzum, the restriction of being an Ubar towards the group. I want to be integrated in the group, I'm willing to do whatever they want, I'm willing to do anything and everything. This is my annulment, to make nothing, zero out of myself, and then I'm an embryo.

Student: So, the Rav said nothing to wait for. 

M. Laitman: There's nothing to wait for? Do! What are you waiting for? 

Student: I don't want to wait. 

M. Laitman: So, okay, do something.

Student: Also egoistically, I don't want to build on it, I don't want to think that someone will come and wake me up, and if he does, I'm alive, and if he doesn't, I'm dead.

M. Laitman: What do you want to say, this I don't understand.

Student: I want to stay in the work.

M. Laitman: So, I told you, you're not listening, I told you, do it in the group, period. Look for ways of how to do it. You have to awaken them; awaken the hearts of the friends for them to awaken you and this way you'll help each other. I don't want to do it. You don't want to do it, then wait.

Student: I want it very much.

M. Laitman: If you want, then read Rabash's articles, and do what he says. There's no other way about it, everyone's too smart.

Question (Moscow): (30:40) How come the king Achashverosh is not Jewish? Upon reaching the quality of bestowal the Jews will stop being Jews? Why isn't it written that he's Jewish? 

M. Laitman: The Creator is Jewish or not? His mom's Jewish? You're starting to speculate. The Creator, He's super Jewish because He is Yehud [unity]. Yehudi [Jew], comes from the word Yehud [connection], meaning that they were separated, and now they're connected. The Creator, it's unrelated to Him because He's one, unique and unified. “I found something about Jews, I thought about the Creator,” so this is clear, right? 

Question (Moscow): (31:30) Clear. We are reading TES volume 6, and Baal HaSulam writes that Haman was a great astrologer. What does he mean, by this, and why him?

M. Laitman: This is a very special concept. It's not an astrologer like in our world. We have to understand that the Zohar, in the Zohar and later on after the Zohar, in the wisdom of Kabbalah there are many words that were taken from Greek, right? Not that much from Rome, but many of them from Greek, because in Greek, they were related before the destruction of the Temple. All the Greek philosophers, they came, they date back to the days of the prophets, so it said that they used to come and study from Israel, and from this they developed the Greek philosophy and all the foundations for science. Therefore, there are such words like astrologer, astrologer and so on, that people use, especially that it's not related to the Kedusha, to the holiness, but it speaks of the Klipa, the shell. Astrologist, the meaning here is, first of all you have to understand who is the great astrologer? Haman, right? Wicked Haman, Zeresh, his wife, meaning all the side of the Sitra Achra, meaning the vessels of reception that don't have a direct connection or approach to build the future, the Masach, and the Ohr Hozer. But somehow they can guess, that were we to have this. Because they don't want to exert, they can't exert, but were we to do this, then we'd exist. How? And to guess it, this calculation, this is called astrology, the real astrology. Not that I'm performing these actions, but were I to perform them, what would I reach? Can I receive such results without the Tzimtzum, the Masach, the Ohr Hozer, without all these things? How can I at least know what are those actions, what are the results, because on my part, suppose from the bad, well relatively bad, there's no bad and no good, but suppose I want to know what's going on with the other side in order for me to perform successful actions? And therefore, the Sitra Achra is interested in knowing the Kedusha, studies the Kedusha. It has a very strong inclination towards it in order to perform actions or against the actions that are called witchcraft, spells, and so on. But it's unrelated or close to the astrology that we have nowadays, not at all. Today, they watch the stars. There, stars, in the wisdom of Kabbalah, it doesn't mean to look at stars, but inner forces. These are inner forces; it's not that you're looking at the sky or the nature that's around us, and according to the different science and nature, that it's as if we're doing something.
