Part 2:

Baal HaSulam “Study of the Ten Sefirot” (TES). Vol. 2. Part 7 #3 (Even though they are seven Melachim)

Reading Item 3 (00:27) “The words of the Ari, even though there are…”

1. R. (01:19) It is clear that is how he counts them.

Reading Item 4 (02:16)

2. S. (06:23) He writes that there are Segim inside the Klipot, what are these Segim?

R. I would say this, even when we correct the Klipot, the shells, a little bit of them remains.

3. S. (06:49) He writes here that there are suitable Behinat. What does it mean that they were suitable for this state?

R. Well, according to their degree as much as they grow, connect, as much as they belong to this upper coupling.

S. Then he says that it is the Klipa and there was a little bit of a breaking in them.

R. Yes, a little bit of a breaking was there and that is why there is a shell but a little bit.

S. Not actual death?

R. Yes.

R. From its shattering you get the world of correction, Atzilut, and that is why they are very important to us, these parts from the world of Nekudim that get shattered, and then they come to correction. This is speaking of us in practice.

5. S. (09:49) Has the time come where we say that the Kli is the light that lost its source?

R. No.

S. Still not?

R. It’s not but not yet, it’s incorrect.

S. I heard that from you.

R. I couldn't have said that.

S. There is a thing that says that…

R. Don't quote versus here, okay?.

S. Sorry. 

R. We have two days now, congress. I hope that in the congress you are going to keep quiet. Sometimes he completely comes out of the…
