Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. Introduction to the Book Panim Meirot uMasbirot. #19

Reading Item 19. (00:16) “Our sages said, ‘He is the evil inclination; he is Satan…’”

R. (13:57) What language, yes?

1. S. (14:01) He says that the second corruption is the descending of the 288 sparks that were in holiness and now for the world not to be destroyed they fell into the system of the shells.

R. Yes.

S. There's a promise that through the corruption that happened in the system of the Sitra Achra that activates us.

R. We will be able to sanctify ourselves gradually through the corruption.

S. Yes, and then he says why? Because there is the law of root and branch, he gives the example of the scratching, so in the end, he dies.

R. So what are you?

S. Where is what he said, that thanks to that we will be sanctified. In the example, in the end, we die.

R. Well?

S. It is an opposite example of what I understand.

R. Ask the friends.

2. S. (15:18) It's an amazing example that the system was created and if we constantly give the Ten life, we remain alive. If a person thinks of himself and disconnects, he instantly loses his life, so it’s a correction. If you want to live you have to constantly think of the Ten and through it to the Creator of course. It’s a system that was created.

R. Is that a satisfying answer?

S. That means that the Sitra Achra doesn't necessarily bring us to correction or death. It is also a sort of correction that if he takes that drop of the potion of death from the angel of death, so he also dies. That is also a correction.

R. Keep the question.

S. Because if not it is not clear how to bring us to correction. Like a system was made that it must bring us to correction, but it might bring us to death?

R. Yes, well maybe there's more, yes.

3. S. (16:34) The answer is what he said to what I understand because the way we feel the will to receive is not accepted, that the will to receive in order to receive has to die every time in order to give birth to something else so we understand the upper one, and it’s not something you can understand. That's why when we read this, that sore, how it will be healed, and what its purpose is, it doesn't seem possible that’s in the will to receive.

R. Why does the desire to receive have to die in order to be healed?

S. To get the second nature.

R. Why? The fact that it needs to receive a second nature it’s clear but why only through death?

4. S. (17:31) Our friend describes a state, and another friend gave an answer but it's not like a switch that you can just change; now I love the friends, and now I’m concerned about them. It is the shell, the Klipa that brings you to a state where if you really want to do what the friend said you need the Creator. Without the Klipa you wouldn’t need the Creator, you wouldn’t reach a state where without the Creator you will get out of this state.

R. Yes friend, do you agree that we need the Klipa?

S. What our friend said that we need the Creator, that is of course because the Klipa I agree 100% with what he said. I just gave one layer and he added to it. What our first friend asked, the Ten is the life, without the Ten there's no life. Only through them you can reveal the Creator and the system of Klipot was made in a way that if we're not in it, it is death for sure and if not that, so there's no life, so it is a great system. There's no Creator or anything without the Ten.

R. It is not an excellent system where there is no Creator.

5. S. (19:18) The answer to all the questions and these answers are one, to acquire a screen. The minute you acquire a screen you know exactly what to do.

R. Also, correct.

6. S. (19:42) I don't understand about the corruption if I could ask?

R. Ask. Whether we're ready to answer that, well, well.

S. What is the first corruption he is describing?

R. What is written?

S. I don't know, I have a question about that.

R. We need to read it again, it's not too bad. It doesn't matter even tomorrow during the lesson we will read it again. These are things that must be in us settled inwards and inwards, even more internally.

7. S. (20:34) You gave an exercise to read during the day, to read, to digest Rabash’s article until the next morning lesson, all day to be in it.

R. Yes.

S. Now, there are Tens I know that read the noon article, what we are going to read Shamati, and from noon they go to the Rabash of the next day.

R. I'm not deciding the times in what you do, I'm just recommending that you should take it into account if it's possible.

S. Another thing, to ask you about the exercise we did at the beginning of the lesson. You recommended that we be in ten minutes of silence concentrating on the connection between us and the Creator in it.

R. Make it five minutes, yes, five minutes of silence.

8. S. (21:42) I feel that Baal HaSulam is writing about me. I cannot disconnect myself from pleasures for myself, what should I do?

R. Pray. None of us can do that. Whoever thinks he can is a fool and he doesn't yet know himself. We are weak to the degree of 0 grams, truly, we have no forces to rise up whatsoever. Therefore, we need to unite together and to ask the Creator for the forces and that's why we will receive from Him the force of resistance, another gram and another gram, and another gram, and this way we will be able to use ourselves correctly.

9. S. (22:46) How to see if the pleasure that comes as pleasure is from separation or the opposite? How do I check if it's a pleasure of the whole degree or only part of it?

R. The pleasure that draws me to friends and us together to the Creator is the pleasure of connection, and the pleasure of separation is the opposite.

10. S. (23:16) In what senses do we feel the sin of Adam HaRishon?

R. That is still far from us, it is still far. The sin of the Tree of Knowledge, the sin of Adam HaRishon is still distant.
