1. R. We talked about it more than once that the Hebrew language comes to us from Adam HaRishon, who is the first Kabbalist that was revealed in our world, almost 6,000 years ago. He gave a depiction to all internal phenomena that is revealed in human emotions, spiritual phenomena and revealed the roots and branches and also the signs, symbols that by which then we can mark our inner feelings compared to the forces that activate us from above. Then it turns out that all of our feelings are the will to receive that change by the upper light that works in it from above from the degree of bestowal we say about it the light from above. The influence of the upper light on us there are a few kinds of bestowing that we change. The upper light that works on the will to receive and it's bestowal makes a depiction of a line, of a circle all kinds of square, triangle we will learn it. The Ari explained it in the book The tree of life and we will continue with that. I think you read 86, 87 and 88 and then we will continue.
Item 86, 87, 88 ( 02:19)
2. R. (07:15) Up to here we actually read and studied each one to the extent they wanted to understand and then immersed in this. Now we're going to keep going. Do you want to ask anything about It? We learned that we have the world of AK (Adam Kadmon) and that in it we have Galgalta AB, SAG. MA and BON, the five Partzufim that received the light in order to bestow. They finish receiving in order to bestow, they don't need any more forces to receive in order to bestow, it is against the desire inside the Partzuf. Then what happens afterwards? We continue with the Partzuf of SAG, which is Bina, it adds forces of itself to Malchut and Malchut can continue in order to receive somewhat more of the upper lights. Not from receiving in order to bestow like in Partzufim of Galgata AB SAG but from being she can be bestowing in order to bestow like Bina in order to bestow. Then after Galgalta AB, SAG these vessels that are below the Tabur then NHY of Galgatta they can get an addition from Bina, SAG and also expand into something else. These vessels expand somewhat, they are from Tabur to Parsa and in these vessels you can bestow in order to bestow because the force of Bina is there. There is no more than that, there are no forces for it, if they receive more it will be in order to receive and that is not allowed and by that they just stopped all the expanding of holiness, the light to receive in order to bestow from above. Up to here we have the expansions of the lights and vessels in GA, AB, SAG, there is an expansion from Ein Sof to Tabur, and after Partzuf of SAG mixed into Galgalta, which is the mixing of Bina and Malchut from that there is a possibility to receive in the part of Malchut that is below that Tabur of Galgalta to the Parsa. There is also an ability to receive the upper lights but only to bestow in order to bestow and in this way we advance.
Afterwards, we have an ability to receive more lights in the vessels and bestowing in order to bestow, receiving in order to bestow let's see what happens next, the main thing that we understand that the upper light the Creator presses on our vessels and wants them to receive all the way, meaning the Sium. That's the purpose of the upper light to fill all the created beings with his light. On behalf of the Creator. On behalf of the created being the Malchut of Ein Sof she does not want to receive in order to receive and there's a solution to receive in order to bestow. Malchut not only does she disconnect from the Creator she even rises compared to him. She adheres to him, she resembles him but that's under the condition that she receives in order to bestow. The question is, where does Malchut exist below theTabur until the Sium? Where will she get the forces in order to receive, in order to bestow below the Tabur of Galgalta. That's where the vessels of reception and they have the ability to only be restricted how to receive even more forces in the restriction, that's what we need to learn. For this we also need to add the nature of these vessels what it means below Tabur, what is the will to receive and how it mixes with Bina [the will to bestow], how they can bestow in a mutual way, Malchut to Bina and Bina to Malchut and in this way they can fix themselves? Malchut will restrict Bina and Bina after it's restricted by Malchut knows in what way Malchut exist and then they can bestow upon Bina gradually their forces and Malchut will be able to receive these forces from Bina and gradually rise to the form of bestow.
R. (13:44) Now we're in letter 90. We have the lights Holam, which is the light that comes from above to the letters, to the Otiot [letters]. The letters are vessels, and the vessels are from Tabur and below. The vessels are the desires and in them include the will to receive and will to bestow. That with the correct combination between the will to receive and the will to bestow. they can resemble the upper light and receive it in order to bestow. That is why, by the upper light entering the vessels and receiving it because they want to resemble the light, so they increase, they amplify the upper light 620 times more.
Reading item 90 (14:42)
3. R. (16:48 ) Look what he writes here, it's something very special. We have the will to bestow which is the Creator. He against it created the will to receive which is Malchut, the created being How can we see the created being and the Creator come close to such an extent that when they start entering each other and completing each other and become actually one. How is that actually possible? Here he gives us the beginning of it First they need to supposedly connect between them to discover how much they are opposite to each other to such an extent that they cause the shattering between them. These vessels shatter and die meaning the light departs, but when it departs it leaves records inside, Reshimot, and then in these shattered desires we have records. Now we need to build the system that will bestow upon these shattered records inside that the system will bestow light upon the shattered vessels and this light that when it bestows on the shattered vessels it awakens them. That they feel they are shattered, they have a desire to receive but also that they want to reach the desire to bestow. There is something that disturbs them and draws them to some higher degree of existence. In such a way, we can then awaken them for correction. That is what we now need to learn, how we will see that, after the shattering of the world of Nekudim, the shattered vessels are organized in such a way that the upper light that bestowed upon them through all the shattered vessels, through all the systems that they went through begins to work on them in such a way that it causes them correction. That is how it is going to happen and then gradually they will reach the correction.
Hi 4. Rav reads item 90 ( 19:44 ) “Hirik is considered [meaning we Holam that is the light that comes from above to the vessels), then we have Sium,(that is the light that is in the vessel), and Hirik [is the light that is below the vessel]. The new light that the ZAT themselves receive from AVI [meaning the part of the Partzuf of the world of Nikudim that is below the Parsa, receives from AVI that are above the Parsa, to lower the ending bottom Hey, which stands at their Chazeh, to the place of Sium Raglin of AK [meaning from that they went back to greatness, they annulled the second restriction]. Thus, their AHP, namely the vessels from the Chazeh downward, which became the place of BYA, return to them. At that time, BYA once again were as Atzilut.”
“But ZAT of Nekudim could not lower the bottom Hey from the Chazeh and completely revoke the second restriction, [because] the Parsa, and the place of BYA [stands there]. Rather, when they extended the light into BYA, all the vessels of ZAT immediately broke, since the force of the ending bottom Hey, which stands at the Parsa, was mingled with these vessels.”
[The lower Hey meaning the will to receive in order to receive that you cannot use.]
“Thus, the light had to instantaneously depart from there and the vessels broke [even those that were above the Parsa], died, and fell into BYA [the place below the Parsa, the place of in order to receive]. Their anterior vessels, which stand above the Parsa, meaning vessels above the Chazeh, also broke, since all the light departed from them, too. Thus, they broke, died, and fell into BYA, due to their joining with the posterior vessels into one Guf.”
R. ( 22:34 ) That's how we see that in the Gadlut of the World of Nikudim, they could receive in order to bestow only in the vessels above the Parsa. When they started descending in order to bestow with the right intentions supposedly, below the Parsa there the vessels weren’t actually ready to receive in order to bestow. That is why the shattering took place and it was a big difference in what they thought before the action and what happened after they started the action. That's why the vessels of ZAG of Nikudim broke. What's the benefit of this? The benefit from these vessels being in order to bestow in sanctity, now they fell into the vessels they became in order to receive, impurity, Klipot, but in them now there are parts of the upper light and that state that they had before and that's why by falling below and mixing with the vessels of reception you can take all the will to receive, all the vessels of reception afterwards and correct it and bring it back to in order to bestow. That is why this shattering is a shattering for the good future that the vessels from bestowal and reception will mix between them together and then by the upper light you can bestow upon them, scrutinize them, sort them out, and gradually correct them.
