Baal HaSulam. The Meaning of Conception and Birth (Two Contractions—Partial and General. Opposite Them, Two Expansions)

Reading from Heading ‘Two Contractions—Partial and General. Opposite Them, Two Expansions’ (00:18)

1. R. (06:15) We see how he wrote it briefly about things that we have no idea of what they relate to. How it is written in the unclear matter and was brought to us in a convoluted matter. I know what it comes from, I have the original photo copy, all these big pictures that he was writing on. I could not feel anything, I photocopied it and I delved into them and I wanted to scrutinize it and it is very difficult, meaning he wrote it from his direct impression without translating it to lower the degrees that are closer to us. He just wrote it to himself just like we sometimes, a few notes for ourselves, but we actually refer to big things does, this is text is really concealed, so there's not much to ask here it really what do you want to ask, I really don't understand.

2. S. (08:05) even though as easy as you said he wrote it directly we see that there's a method here.

R. Of course he writes it about the upper system how it operates on us and how we operate on it but what else can you write about other than the Creator and the Creator being and the connection between them.

S. What does a Kabbalist discover when he describes this, does he discovered some general phenomena?

R. Yes, yes, I'm telling you again. He wants to explain to us to what extent we are being cared for by the upper force, what the upper force wants from us and what in return influences us, this is the only reality, nothing more than that. There is a system of Adam and then there's the Creator. Adam includes all of the still, vegetative and animate and speaking all of the worlds, everything that we can imagine but the Creator, all of that is called Adam. This entire system is corrupted, it is intentionally corrupted, in a special way so that in the correction of the system we can approach the Creator. We can equalize ourselves to him and connect. There's nothing more than that.

S. So there's a general desire every Kabbalists has probably has this feeling of the ten and he probably within he feels the feeling of the ten?

R. No it's more than that but from the ten and beyond but the ten becomes the ten original Sefirot from which he continues to develop further. But first of all that, without a ten we cannot move, we cannot utter a single word, we cannot make any spiritual movement. First of all it is the ten.

3. S. (10:32) What is the difference in Nefesh and Ruach?

R. Nefesh means Nefesha, stillness, it's a kind of a force without movement. Ruach means when you want to move, to make a spiritual movement accordingly you attain the Creator that he is changing.

4. S. (11:10) I understand what he says here but we all the time see two opposites, for instance he says we are rising and lying down their connect again, at this point my question is he writes about this two opposites here, hatred and love, what is the thing here that helps us to advance, why is he talking about the opposites all the time?

R. We are always saying from its opposite quality, that is why the Creator created will to receive which is opposite from him, opposite from the will to bestow and we draw forces and we build in a certain system to bestowal inside of us then inside of us we are assembling the image of the Creator, called our soul. According to this form, to this intensity, to this level you can say that we are in the certain spiritual level, we begin to be included of the structure called a soul and from the light, the light that is called the soul and according to the light of the soul that we attain, of the Neshama, we also attain the lights Chayah and Yechida which are above us, which are really from the Creator which clothing in us, that's how we need to see the situation. But after all the system is not so confused and difficult to grasp. After all we have to try to reach a connection because in the connection, we attain everything, we are built to advance to the degree of attainment, understanding, feeling, we just have to pay attention to it more and more.

S. What is our role, we should turn these opposites back to the whole?

R. We don't have to turn anything to anything, our goal is very simple to be connected and for that to constantly bring ourselves to the Creator so he would correct things, he would help us connect, he would establish the Arvut between us. That is what we need.

Reading Excerpt (14:07) “Oppositeness between head and body.”

5. R. (16:33) He tells us using this very high words, very short words, that everything is arranged for correction, red and black, all the colors disappear and finally it is becoming white, the force of bestowal, it is not speaking of color but the force of bestowal will ultimately be revealed from all the different discernments. Of course, this is all relative to the attaining person where after all the corrections that we make, all the different colors, different actions, different discernments but gradually beyond everything we reveal the will to bestow against the upper lights, in the upper light.

Reading “Conception” (17:29)

Reading “The Essence of Life”

6. R. (19:57) Don't think that we just went over this for nothing, it's like a medicine when I go to the doctor I get medication. I don't know how it's working on me but I take it and it works, here is the same, we don't understand what is written here, we can’t swallow it through our minds, through feeling. We don't have the ready vessels for it but we understand that what he wrote, he wrote from a very high place which is why he has here surrounding light, as it's written in the introduction to TES where it says even they don't understand what they're studying, they draw the lights through their study and it influences us, corrects us, advances us. So it's good that we heard it and we concluded the article. Of the meaning of conception and birth.

7. S. (21:10) What is the contraction? Can we somehow explain this contraction?

R. There are many interpretations, we agreed that we have learned all of this as a remedy, it is like a medicine, you heard it and it influenced you, it will influence to such an extent that you understand these things by yourself including contraction. It speaks of the will to receive which is the matter of creation, the substance and the contraction in the will to receive, try to imagine that.
