Part 3:
Reading - Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #106
1. R. (01:26) Look, this is not so difficult we have the Rosh and the Guf, in the Rosh we have the degrees of coarseness, the degree of Aviut, degree of 4, Dalet, three, two, one and zero and then if we perform a coupling and clashing on phase 4 so we say with Galgalta and AB we do a Zivug de Hakaa, with the coupling and striking we have the striking and then the light comes down from the Rosh to the Guf, to the head of the Partzuf and it turns out this is how we fill it, but the moment we have in the Guf annulment of the shattering, the cancellation because of that in the degree of 4 then the Guf gets canceled and only Behina Gimel, the third phase, remains and then the second, first and all of the degrees that are used in the world of Nekudim to fill themselves all reach the shattering, four, three, two, one, zero, root, Shoresh. That is it.
Reading Item 107 (03:37)
2. S. (06:18) Baal HaSulam writes here that it passes directly to the third Melech of Nekudim and continues to BYA and breaks and dies, what does that mean?
R. The vessels that are not capable of receiving the light the upper light in order to bestow and it enters the will to receive immediately departs upwards, returns to its root and the vessels from the meeting with the upper light feel themselves shattered where previously there was no light in them and therefore it was not felt the oppositeness between them and the light. The light that entered the vessel now shows us how opposite it is to the vessel and that vessel which feels how opposite it is from the light falls completely from all spiritual degrees and therefore it is called dead, the light departs from it which is called death.
S. Why does it break and on the other hand in any case begins new lights?
R. The Reshimot are in the Rosh, and I failed in higher degrees or Reshimot then how can I know in lower records I will not succeed. I continue to want to bestow, to be in order to bestow to bring contentment to the Creator and therefore I continue, not in the phase 4 but in the phase 3 of coarseness and then upon the second degree of coarseness. Meaning I cannot stop, on the contrary if I did not succeed in the higher degree why not in the lower degree will I succeed, why will not I succeed in the lower degree.
3. S. (08:48) Here there is a process where the lights are rising up and the concatenation of the first Partzufim if the vessels were not ready the lights will go down to the Klipot. What is the difference between these two states?
R. I do not understand which two states? Let us say that in the vessels that have a screen so that when there is a screen that there is also Ohr Hozer, reflected light so they raised the reflected light the force of bestowal from them to the Creator and then they are in a mutual friendship with the Creator and in such a way they receive the light from the Creator and by that actually give light to him as reflected light. Here where they have no screen, they cannot create reflected light so therefore it remains that way, just like they are but the light departs, and the vessels feel that they are not adapted to the light and from that they shatter, and this is how the degree is completed.
S. When that Partzufim reformed in the Partzuf of Adam Kadmon then the lights that descended and the vessels weren't ready the light simply entered the Klipot and did not return back up, and here the lights are returning back up?
R. No, that is not correct, the lights enter into the will to receive, into the desire to receive and do not enter completely, only in a meeting with a desire to receive without a screen the upper light precedes itself and departs. The desire to receive out of the desire to discovering how opposite it is to the light and wanted to be similar to the light and to bestow but the third force was revealed, the side force that needed to be bringing me to it, the ability in order to bestow but does not bring it to him, the force to bestow therefore the vessel shatters. It on itself wanted to very much be in the will to bestow, to receive an order to bestow and here it was limited meaning at that moment they wanted to receive an order to bestow and at that moment it was revealed how within it doesn't have that force because the Parsa doesn't give the upper light to move towards those vessels and to give them a screen that will be in order to bestow. Therefore the light departs and the vessel shatters, just understand this tragedy, this drama, that there is in the vessel in such a way, we are in place of coming to the highest degree, it shatters, dies, and falls to the lowest state.
4. S. (12:45) This talks about us?
R. No, this does not talk about us whatsoever.
41. S. (13:00) So this is not clear to me, it says here that the coarseness even though the phase 3 of the Rosh and Guf of the vessels of the posterior competed for the AVI returned, why is there annulment here, they are in a higher degree, and they suddenly fell to a lower degree?
R. AHP of the upper which brought the upper light to the lower one arranged the Gadlut from the vessel from which the vessel shattered and therefore it gets canceled because it causes the shattering.
S. First of the saying that this is a force and then it is active, what does that mean?
R. The Rosh and Guf in the Rosh, in the head is in potential and in the Guf it is in practice.
42. S. (14:15) Sometimes we say that Hesed is Keter and here we say that Hesed is Hochma?
R. No, do not get confused, do not go into that. What you are saying here is that is Hesed, that every angel is called Hesed?
S. Yes, the Melech is called Hesed.
R. That is something completely different. It has nothing to do with Sefira Hesed. Later it will become clear to us why all those Sefirot are and why they are called all the levels of the Sefirot.
Reading Item 108 (15:06)
R. (15:19) Of Abba ve Ima.
Reading Item 108 (15:20)
43. R. (16:45) That is how levels after levels emerge just as there is Galgalta of AB, SAG, MA, and BON, just like here we also have the level of AVI the Melech of Daat the level of AVI, the level of YESHSUT the Melech of Hesed, Gevura, the upper third of Tifferet and the lower third of Tifferet that is how the levels emerge. Truly in the same style as AB, SAG emerged, what is renewed here is the general Reshimot of Dalet Gimel that is below Tabur and below they continue just as it was above the Tabur.
44. S. (17:43) the four phases of light are happening in the Rosh. Is this correct?
R. Yes, they begin from the Rosh.
S. What is YESHSUT?
R. The YESHSUT is a lower part of Bina. We have Keter, Hochma, Bina, ZA, and Malchut in Bina we have a transition between the upper part which all bestows and a lower part which is already receiving. Here it is bestowal above, the upper light and here it is the desire and in Bina we have half, half the upper part of Bina is the desired to bestow which comes from the Creator and a lower half of Bina is already the desire to receive which is born from the desire to bestow of the Creator in the desire to receive from the creature. Therefore, Bina is divided into two, the lower half of Bina it is called the womb, the place for pregnancy and birth, that no longer belongs to the upper system. Meaning up to here, from here to here, to the middle of Bina, it is all upper, everything is the upper, the control of the Creator and from the half of Bina and downwards this is where the control of the creature begins, the desire to receive and therefore Bina is so special, so complex, very complex.
45. S. (20:50) AB, SAG, MA, and BON, there was the refinement of the screen because the surrounding light pressed it as much as I understand and that is what accelerated this development process?
R. Here it is the same thing, the vessels that are below the Tabur want to receive the light, they receive just like in Galgalta and AB and SAG they receive the light in order to bestow also below the Tabur they began in receiving in order to bestow and until the Parsa, we had the Parsa, we had Galgalta of AB MA BON that was all the 5 Partzufim of Adam Kadmon but below the Tabur, below it is a problem. Here, we can receive only in vessels of bestowal because SAG which brings down its light qualifies this area within which you can bestow and then the Partzufim that you bring here can expand but the moment you cross the Parsa they can no longer receive and then all of this area becomes prohibited to be used in the vessels and anyone that therefore comes down there reaches the shattering.
S. AB, SAG, MA, BON of Adam Kadmon, below the Tabur of Bina descended?
R. Bina exists here, which exists here from this area Tabur to the Parsa, that is the force of Bina, the SAG, the force of Bina came down here but below the Parsa there was no ability to bestow. That is where the force of Malchut is, so it turns out above the Tabur we have Keter, Hochma the upper upper half of Bina, below Tabur we also have part of Bina and below until the Parsa we only have ZA and Malchut. Therefore all the vessels of bestowal can be below Tabur, but the vessels of reception cannot, there is no possibility here, because the force of Bina is enough to sustain them in an order to bestow.
S. Maybe it is a silly question, why did Bina go to Tabur but not to the Parsa?
R. She can also be below the Parsa, there is no prohibition, there is no limitation to be a bestower, the problem is that the vessels there are vessels of reception, and it is not for them, the light that appears there. Which is why eventually, they are in order to receive, all the vessels that come to this area below Tabur must have the force of correction. That is a very big desire is to receive in order to bestow, they cannot be here bestowing in order to bestow. Later we will learn that there is here at the world of Atzilut and then Beria, Yetzira, Assiya, then we will learn that we are in all of these vessels, and you can only correct this in the world of Atzilut, these vessels, but not completely. Until the end of correction it will be the AHP of ascent but only in the ascent the shattered vessels to Atzilut and we need to correct all shattered vessels and after we raise all of these vessels above to Atzilut then we cause the AHP of descent. It will be also here; with all these vessels they will be able to descend below the Parsa and then from the beginning of creation to the end of creation everything will be corrected already in order to bestow. We will certainly learn all of this system and how it exists.
