Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Inner Observation. Chapter Thirteen. #1 ("Now you can thoroughly understand")

Reading #2 (00:13) Twice

Reading #3 (03:30)

1. S. (04:23) The dynamics of the relationship between the different parts of the Partzuf of the Peh of Rosh the Hazeh of the upper one, how can a Kabbalist measure these states? Does it happen in some dynamic way or does he immediately see the whole picture?

R. We will get there and then you will reveal it and not that I tell you about it and you are going to start guessing and that is not good. It is not good because it'll confuse you. Better that in a natural way you discover it and understand. There are things that we can't tell about and things that we can because by this you are not helping but disturbing. That is why try to discover it according to what is written and that is how you will reveal it. You will reveal where you have Rosh, Toch, Sof as much as more or less the way it is divided and how every time whether smaller or bigger and you will understand.

2. S. (05:46) If you can please explain, becomes the Hazeh becomes Peh of Rosh not the Tabur?

R. Correct but the screen in the Tabur ascends to the Peh of Rosh back and descends to the Hazeh and the next Partzuf develops from it.

S. So why Tabur?

R. Because the Inner Light descends from the Peh from the Rosh and to the Tabur and afterwards it rises back to the Rosh, to the Peh and then descends to Hazeh and from the has a the next Partzuf develops, the Hazeh from the upper one becomes the Peh to the lower one.

3. S. (06:54) He writes that every time the lower one becomes coarser then he goes back to his previous Malchut and he writes about the coupling, the coupling that happens in the Malchut of Tabur?

R. In Malchut of Tabur there is no coupling, it happens in the Peh of Rosh where there is contact with the upper lights.

S. I will read it again then I don't really understand the process.

R. We will read this whole part and then we will see, maybe I will draw it. Okay?

4. S. (07:43) He writes that the acquiring of the coarseness means that the got it goes back to the Galgalta what is this process of acquiring coarseness?

R. When the screen descends from the Peh downward it starts discovering the coarseness and it more and more. Then wanted over comes back so that is called the refining of the Partzuf, the refining of the screen to the Atzilut of the Partzuf.

S. Can we apply this to something in practice, the action of connection between us?

R. I do not want to hear it. I don't want to hear these things.

S. What then?

R. What that as it is written for now listen.

S. So now technically?

R. Technically you could try to draw out a few times and then you will start understanding there is no problem here.

5. S. (09:00) The 10 Sefirot are always built from below upwards?

R. From above downward and then from below upward, direct light and reflected light.

6. S. (09:13) A friend is asking what does it mean that the Tabur becomes the Hazeh from which a new Partzuf emerges?

R. The Partzuf start receiving in order to bestow from Peh to the Tabur and then the tabur ends the reception the surrounding like comes and beats the Inner Light then the Partzuf starts or decides to refine so it refines back from Tabur to Peh. Is that all clear?

S. Trying to understand.

R. So try and we will speak later.

7. S. (10:17) The inner light and surrounding light govern the screen or the other way around?

R. In a simple way, I am, on purpose I do not want to draw it. I want it to be in your feelings otherwise the drawing remains and then without the drawing a person cannot understand anything so it stops them, I saw it on myself. We have the will to receive, the will to receive decides let's say, it decides that it wants to receive in order to bestow, where does it decide? In the Rosh meaning above the desire it builds a Rosh and in the Rosh it decides I want to receive an order to bestow. How much? So he feels it in the Rosh, what is before him , what lights and then decides I am going to receive 20% of the light in front of me. I can receive it in order to bestow, more than that I cannot, it will already be in order to receive. He makes a decision and after the decision he makes a connection with that light called coupling by striking and receives a part from it into the Toch of the Partzuf, into the Partzuf, he fills the desire to receive with the intention to bestow.

S. This is what it means the screen of the Peh of Rosh descends?

R. That is called the screen descends from the Peh of Rosh to Tabur. He finishes that, when he is done receiving in order to bestow, becomes the surrounding light, that is the additional light that remains. If he received 20 so 80 remains on the outside and it presses on him to take more. Why? Because there is another 80%. He cannot receive it because it will be in order to receive, that is why in the state that he is in he cannot remain in that state, so he refines. He says I cannot anymore, sorry, and comes out of the connection with the light. The screen that did receive from the Peh to the Tabur ascends back from Tabur of Peh and the light used to fill from Peh to Tabur exits the Partzuf outward. That is the first action the screen descended from the Peh to Tabur and then from the Tabur rises back to the Peh. That is it, that is the action, that is what we are speaking about now. This action is called receiving an order to bestow.

S. And what is left after that? There is some part, some peace left, right, before the new Partzuf emerges.

R. Let It go, I'm only speaking about this that it remains, nothing, just that the Partzuf got 20% that is called inner light, and what remained on the outside and could not receive that is called the surrounding light. The inner light and surrounding light all in all that is 100%, together 20 and 80, so that one hundred percent is the upper light.

S. This whole decision happens in the Rosh, in the Masach?

R. In the Peh of the Rosh.

S. Including the surrounding light, everything?

R. The Peh of the Rosh decides everything before the Peh of Rosh we have the 10 Sefirot of the Rosh, there is only light and the Peh is the screen that stops the light and weighs as much as it can receive in order to bestow and as much as it does decide, it takes to the Toch in order to bestow and as much as it cannot, so that remains outside of the vessel in surrounding light. Until it turns out that 20% works in the vessel inside and it is very sweet, it is 20% of the upper light that he received and 80% remained on the outside and presses it. Look how good it is and then the vessel sees that it cannot hold himself anymore and refines. Better to not receive anything and once you taste it, it becomes much more difficult to receive in order to bestow.

S. The 80%, how are they felt in the vessel?

R. As pleasure that you have not received yet that are before you on the table. You receive from the host as Baal HaSulam gives the example 20% but then the 80% remain on the table and you have vessels for those whole 80% and you want to take it, okay?

8. S. (16:22) If you can please explain how the Malchut of the Guf of the Partzuf of the upper one becomes the Rosh of the lower Partzuf?

R. No no, we will learn that, that is not for now yet. Soon he's going to talk about it. Do not worry. Great question.

9. S. (16:55) The screen, does it become refined with the light to 20% that it receives?

R.The screen decides that it will receive 20% of the light, more than that he cannot receive an order to bestow.

S. And the light refines the screen, the light that is received?

R. The light that bestows on the will to receive gives the will to receive an ability to be in order to bestow then the will to receive decides as much as it will receive in order to bestow and according to that performs a coupling by striking only on 20%.

10. S. (18:02) In item two he writes that after the coarseness he goes back to theTabur and then the new coupling by striking of the phase 3 happens necessarily in the place of Tabur of Galgalta so what is this Zivug in the Tabur?

R. In the Peh of Rosh, Tabur ascends to the Peh, the Rosh of the next Partzuf.

11. S. (18:44) The screen of Tabur when it is refined and rises to Masach of Rosh does it refine the Masach of Rosh or does it stay the same?

R. It joins the Masach of Rosh, becomes one with it and it causes a coupling and a decision and a coupling for the next Partzuf.

S. Right but if the change of place, the ascent does not affect the placement of the screen of Rosh?

R. They both stand in the Peh only there are more records there. That the screen that was in the Guf raises records to the Rosh and then by the upper light that exists in the Rosh there is a scrutiny with what records to work and what we will speak about later?

12. S. (19:50) The pleasures of the host that we was talked about in this example, I can see them, I confront them, I see them on the table but how do I calculate in spiritual pleasure that I do not see, I have no idea what I am going for, how do I make that calculation?

R. Before you on the table are all the pleasures, all of the pleasures and flavors and it is clear to you as much as you can receive of them for the benefit of the host and as much as you would receive without the calculation to the host, it is all clear to you. That is it. Those are conditions you are giving, that is clear. Now what do you do? You need to calculate as much as you can receive for the benefit of the host and not for yourself.

S. What does it mean that it is open before me, spread before me?

R. It is clear to you that you are looking at the table, how the host has prepared these pleasures, how you can receive them in order to receive ,how you can give back to the host and then receive everything only for him to bestow, you can calculate on all of it.

S. It is clothed in a feeling that I call clear?

R. Yes of course it is in a feeling how else can you calculate without a feeling?

S. How is it possible to cut off this feeling and to say I do not receive that, if everything is received in a feeling?

R. I do not have anything to explain, try talking to your friends, maybe they will explain it to you. You did not understand what is sitting next to the table isn’t choosing what you want or what you do not want or what you want it for, you can't do such calculations?

S. This I see, I can see in front of my eyes.

R. So what is in clear?

S. How I do it, how do I say okay I'm cutting this off, a part of this feeling, I don't want to because I don't know how to explain it.

R. Listen, you look at the host that is in front of you and you feel as much as you can receive only in order to bestow to him and you do not enjoy it, you only enjoy in order to bestow to him. Without bestowing to him you would not have taken everything, that is called a restriction but you want to bestow to him, that is why you are taking, to give joy to him but to give joy to him by you enjoying him. Do you understand or not?

S. The question is, can I apply it to, let's say, my work in connecting with the friends? They want to do something, let's say, I don't know, so that I could see this whole pleasure, this whole desire?

R. You need to see this inside of your stomach and your heart end and in your head. You see how you fill your stomach and what you feel in your head, as much as you enjoy it or as much as the host enjoys that and in this way you calculate, otherwise it will not work. In spirituality that is how it is, they are making you into a person living in a spiritual world in bestowal not in receiving.

13. S. (24:36) Galgalta in this example is receiving at 20% from the light and 80% from the surrounding light still pressures it but let us say that it was 15%. I have a question so then there is 85% surrounding light the pressures or 80% in all the five worlds?

R. We did not learn it yet so I cannot answer you. I'm going to teach you to ask about exactly about what we are studying or next time I won’t let you ask. You are a philosopher, you already want to know more or less, I'm not getting into those calculations. What he says, this is what we are learning, that is it. You are not alone, there are three thousand people here.

14. S. (25:44) You said before to a friend that there is no coupling in Tabur of the Partzuf, my question is whether there is no coupling even in rejection when the light comes from below upwards there are no couplings on the way?

R. We didn't speak about that yet only what is written, that is what you have to ask about. Nothing but that.

15. S. (26:25) I hope I'm asking correctly, is it enough to just utter that I want to bring contentment to the Creator but I do not feel it in the heart?

R. How can that be? Who do you want to cheat? Wiseguy. If you do not feel it in your heart or if you do not calculate it correctly in your head so that is called you are bestowing? That you can do with people in this world, with the Creator it will not work, you won't change anything, you will not receive anything and you will remain in the darkness. Okay?
