Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 7. #10 (It is written in Idrat Nasso)

https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/FWrR48Bb

Reading Item # 10 (00:41) “It is written in the Idrat Nasso that some...”

Reading (01:37) Inner Light. “Some were corrected, and some were not corrected…”

1. S. (06:34) It says the externalities always reveal to us in this world and the internalities hidden from us. What does that mean?

R. That the concealed part is probably in higher worlds in this world, and in this world we only discovered the externality.

S. Externality of what?

R. Of the worlds. Look what he writes in the way that we see in our world, in what was in the present, it is extended from the Upper ones and internality and externality, that whatever was extended from internality is in the present, in the externality and it is always revealed in this world the internality of it. The internality is concealed and cannot be a service to us but only be revealed in the future at the end of correction. Maybe if you read it again, it will be clearer?

Reading (08:15) “In the way that the chain of time we find in this world…”

2. R. (09:02) If we read it a few more times you have many more questions, it will be less clear.

3. S. (09:13) Before this paragraph, the sentence before it says, that guidance of the world is always from Mochin that is added last. What does that mean?

R. That from the last action when we established the world through our freedom of choice and raising MAN and so on, from that we cause the conduct of the world.

4. S. (10:00) It is written these five Partzufim that we sorted and became the world of Atzilut, each left parts of it that were not sorted but are destined to be sorted to raising MAN work of the righteous in the 6,000 years in the world of correction. My question is what are those parts that were sorted, do we have some relation to it?

R. That was clarified was already incorporated in the true degree that is working. What is not clear?

S. He says it's before our work in correction and during the 6,000 years a person was sorted first before this 6,000 years. What are those parts that were sorted already?

R. Where are you reading that, isn't it clear to you?

S. Item 10 inner light, these five Partzufim that were sorted and became the world of Atzilut. Each of them left parts of it that are still not sorted, so I'm asking what was sorted from our perspective?

R. What was sorted? That we don't need to scrutinize on our own.

S. Other parts in us that are relatively corrected is that what it means?

R. There are parts that don't need correction.

S. Okay, is this connected to the internality and externality?

R. We will see, we just started.

5. S. (12:20) It is written here that by doing good deeds they raise MAN to ZON by which it attains the Gadlut in GAR and the mercy appears. If they do bad deeds by that they cause ZON to return to the state of Katnut and a conduct of judgment is manifested in the world. These are very sharp harsh words?

R. It's not speaking about us, we don't belong to those changes.

S. It's not connected to us in any way?

R. No.

S. We behave how we behave, and it has no impact on the system?

R. We're not in the system.

S. So what influence do our actions have that we can attribute to the system?

R. For now just to try to get into some kind of connection.

Reading Item twice (13:39) “The righteous have no risk in this world or the next world…”

6. R. (16:40) Well he promises it. Next.

Reading Item twice (16:44-28:20)

7. S. (28:30) He writes that all the corrections are in ZON of Atzilut in the Katnut smallness and Gadlut greatness, respectively. There is something more here, he says that for the work of the righteous who the states of Gadlut greatness remain forever unchanged, and through the bad deeds of the wicked which the wicked caused making of a new Mochin of Katnut smallness. What is that state because the wicked connect between them?

R. You think the wicked had no role?

S. Well according to what it says there it is, but what is it exactly, it's not the wicked?

R. They awaken corrections, the wicked specifically awaken the corrections.

S. They awaken the next state of Katnut smallness?

R. Yes they prepare the corrections for the future. The wicked have the duty, it's one system. It is clear that the Creator did not create anything bad.

8. S. (30:16) What is the role of the worlds of BYA in the conduct of the lower one and what is the role of the world of Atzilut?

R. The worlds of BYA participate in ascents and descents and the world of Atzilut participates in bringing the lights.

S. The clothing because souls are rewarded with clothing, with a higher Partzufim, is this the MAD?

R. That’s attainment. 

S. Is this the MAD?

R. Yes.

S. In the worlds of BYA is the lower one not clothed in Partzufim? How can we describe absorbing the deficiency in the world of BYA, the existence of the lower ones in BYA also does it also cloth in the Partzufim, face?

R. First of all without clothing in Hafetz Hesed delighted in mercy no one can exist.

S. The states of Katnut and BYA are Hafetz Hesed delighted in mercy?

R. Yes.

9. S. (31:42) Mochin that are added and raise MAN, is raising MAN their free choice?

R. Raising MAN is always free, meaning it’s a deficiency that the lower one doesn't get from above. He needs to establish it through his actions if you're speaking about spiritual work.

S. Is this our only free choice, to raise MAN?

R. No, there are more things, but the main thing is work from the lower ones by trying to establish that MAN.

10. S. (32:35) When we started studying this part of The Study of the Ten Sefirot you said that it’s a part that really talks about us. On the other hand you just said a few moments ago to a friend that we don’t belong to these changes?

R. We're not in these changes yet but it belongs to the lower ones, it's a part that is discussing the shattered vessels that we have to correct. Are we already in the process of correcting the shattered vessels? That’s the question. The shattered vessels are vessels that feel themselves that they are below the Tabur and even below the Parsa in the worlds of BYA and they want to rise, they have the deficiency to raise themselves, to correct themselves. That's not us yet but we’re on the way. 

S. In other words it's about us but in the future states?

R. Yes.

11. S. (33:56) What does it mean that we are causing the conduct of the world? It’s continuing the friend’s question, that we are causing the conduct of the world?

R. Our deeds, good and bad as Baal HaSulam writes in a few places, in our many acts, so God forbid we can also cause a descent of the worlds and if we do good we could cause the ascent of the worlds. 

12. S. (34:28) Can you explain what is internality and externality, what are the definitions?

R. It means something else every place we talk about it. The relation between them is that the internality is more important than the externality but there's a lot of different interpretations in it according to the state.

13. S. (34:57) The separation between judgment and mercy, what brings closer and what pushes farther?

R. Judgment and mercy are two forms, two states in our behavior. Yes?

S. Is there something that brings them closer or pushes them apart?

R. I guess that mercy is closer to bringing us closer.

14. S. (35:43) It says that the guidance of the world is always the Mochin that were added last. What does that mean?

R. The Mochin that was added last, meaning through the last action it always changes the order because it works according to MAN. According to that we have changes in all the worlds.

S. What happened with the previous Mochin, did the cascading happen before? 

R. They remain but they’re not felt in the lower ones because now a new deficiency comes.

15. S. (36:41) There’s a paragraph that begins “this is the meaning of the righteous have no rest, not in this world, not in the next world.” The next world does not mean after they die because the dead are free. Can you explain what is this world, the next world and their passing, their death?

R. Every time it's more and more difficult to explain it. This world is what we attain right now, the next world is what we are about to attain soon. That is this world and the next world. The dead are free means a person who brings his will to receive to death, he becomes free. That’s how it is on each and every degree, that there is such a state.

S. There are righteous who are rewarded with seeing the next world in their life.

R. There are a few interpretations for that. That the righteous that are rewarded for the lights of the next world in their life here in this world, that I don't understand, because in order to reach the lights of the next world we have to reach the next world, that’s a degree. We need to think. I don't know right now, I can’t concentrate. I have something else in my head.

16. S. (39:12) The love of the text, does it help to love the writer and the person who dictates, the Creator, the Good Who Does Good, the bestower?

R. I don't know. Try to speak briefly without any blessings.

S. We’re we born to love?

R. I guess so. 

17. S. (40:40) In this whole excerpt he started with having the seven Kings that fell, right? Suddenly he begins to explain about the five Partzufim of Atzilut that were corrected only partially or not. Here we have seven Kings and there we have five Partzufim. What’s the connection between them if there is any?

R. They’re in the Partzufim of Atzilut and BYA those seven Kings. They need to bring all these Partzufim to the complete fulfillment.

S. What does it mean that only some of them were corrected, what does that mean? How can it even be that only some were corrected?

R. The shattering was in the actual phase four, that they thought they could receive in phase four in order to bestow. They couldn’t and now they realized that they could receive on the previous three phases but not on phase four. 

S. What kind of correction is this?

S. It’s a correction, what they can correct and what they can’t in the meantime they don't correct. The correction is always gradual, and this is what it's about.

18. S. (42:11) It is written that the righteous have no rest. Why not?

R. Right. They feel the deficiency, they cannot satisfy the deficiency.

S. It is written that they have no rest, not in this world, not in the next world?

R. Not in the next world do they feel the deficiency, they constantly feel themselves deficient.

S. What do they want?

R. They want to feel everything, to satisfy everything.

19. S. (42:55) What is rest?

R. They have no rest.

S. I understand but what is rest?

R. Rest is when everything is seemingly corrected.

S. Well so then there’s a deficiency, no?

R. No, then it's as if there's no deficiency whatsoever. 

S. The righteous is one that’s in a constant deficiency?

R. Righteous is someone who constantly reveals deficiencies and wants to compliment them through all this work. 

S. He’s constantly in work?

R. He’s constantly revealing deficiencies and corrects them, yes.

S. Does he see it as a good thing?

R. Of course, of course it’s good.

S. That’s his destiny?

R. That’s his work.

20. S. (43:51) When we read Rabash articles before, well every Rabash article when we read them together, I feel like I’m in an MRI and the results show all my flaws, all their depth. Then we go to TES. How do I connect all those flaws that the Rabash revealed in me to TES? What should I do with the TES after I saw all the evil and garbage in me?

R. That's what awakens in you, you correct. What is still not awakened, you continue with your regular routine work.

S. How do I correct it?

R. When you see that there are things over which you can raise MAN and receive over them in the strength to correct, then you correct them.

21. S. (45:03) Where do you receive it from?

R. You receive it from above. Also, when you feel from below that you have a deficiency, that you are revealing the deficiency it awakens you to raise a prayer and by that you’ll receive the strength to correct what you discovered. The revealing of the deficiency is already a great thing.

22. S. (45:37) He’s talking about raising MAN for the good deeds. What does he mean for the good deeds?

R. All kinds of acts of bestowal.

S. What are in the corrections of the seven Kings? It’s because we learn that we need to correct the soul of Adam HaRishon, so it's a different correction, something else. Right?

R. These are not different corrections, these are results of the lack of corrections in Adam HaRishon. All those seven Kings belong to the Guf of Adam HaRishon, the body of Adam HaRishon.

S. Is it not from the shattering of the world of Nekudim?

R. Why?

S. Because it comes before the creation of the soul.

R. It doesn't matter afterwards more Partzufim come in which you can come and correct what happened, even above them.

S. The corrections are in the worlds and then the souls are only the soul of Adam HaRishon?

R. The corrections are in the soul of Adam HaRishon, but we correct them by awakening the souls.

23. S. (47:14) About raising MAN, he writes here that everything depends on raising MAN. If we succeed there will be mercy, if not there will be judgment and bad. Now we're praying all day in the Tens, world prayer a few times a day, so that's not raising MAN what we are doing?

R. I don't know.

S. What are we lacking? What’s raising MAN? Praying for connection, give us the force of bestowal, bring us closer, connect us, everyday few times a day?

R. Yes.

S. There’s no mercy in the world, only judgment. We don't raise MAN correctly, maybe tell us how to do it correctly?

R. Read what is written in the books, that's it. I can't teach you better.

S. But you succeeded. You got Mochin, you got mercy, you raised MAN correctly.

R. Are you a witness to this?

S. We feel you have Mochin, Gadlut, the next world.

R. Okay. Sit please. What are we learning in the next part of the lesson?

24. S. (48:33) The next part is from the article The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah.

R. Can we start it already?
