Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 4. Chapter Two. #4 ("It turns out that when the Keter ascends and departs,")
Reading Item #4 twice (00:15): “The heading of item four…”
1. R. (02:39) What is he trying to say? That always in the vessel a record remains from the light that was in it and this light does not move from the vessel and it causes the light to return and fill the vessel but after the light was in the vessel, the record, the impression from it remains. Yes. We will move onwards to item five.
Reading Item #5 (3:15): “When the light of Hochma…”
2. R. (04:00) Meaning the light rises from one Sefira to the next, from the Malchut to the Emanator, to the Keter and this way it goes through and leaves a record, an impression and in every state it's in let's say, it leaves a Reshimo, a record.
Reading Item #6 twice (4:34): “Malchut does not leave a record…”
Reading Item #7 (6:14): “All the Sefirot leave records…”
3. R. (07:08) Especially about this he doesn't give us any additional explanation below. Let's continue.
Reading Item #8 (7:24): “Malchut is called poor…”
Reading Item #9 twice (8:41): “The two kinds of light…”
Reading Item #10 twice (10:53): “A coarse light which…”
4. R. (13:20) This is how we went from above, this part, the second chapter.
5. S. (13:35) Thank you teacher. I couldn’t understand from the text why the coarseness of light becomes the quality of the vessels?
R. Because the light that fills the vessel gives the vessel its qualities and therefore there is a difference between the light that was outside the vessel, entered the vessel, emerged from the vessel and left in the vessel a record. It always leaves an impression, a record in the vessel and the vessel with the impression of the light that was in it is a completely different vessel.
S. Maybe I can ask this way: what is this term “thick/coarse”?
R. There is no such word here. There is a coarse light and the refined light it all depends on the screen that creates the light.
6. S. (14:52) When we learn this material we have pictures and all the drawings we made and in your intellect you understand but how to shift it to the heart so that the heart will start hearing this?
R. Therefore, we now are not drawing anything because I want us to begin to feel this in our hearts and not according to the eyes and the intellect like with the drawings because with the drawings it's all clear. This goes up and goes down, this is up and this is down, it's right and left but we want to feel what right and left is in our feelings and what is up and down in our feelings and therefore the drawing just confuses us. If we already know, feel what is happening inside of us, inside of our hearts and our desires because it is all revealed in desire and in order to shorten the tongue between us, to connect things, it could be that I'm drawing something and you are depicting your feelings from the drawing upon yourself and to understand what I'm trying to give to you, then it's worth, then it's worth drawing but if we cannot talk in such a way through the drawings, straight to the feelings then it's not worth it for us. It's truly not worth it to talk through the drawing. Just understand what I mean.
7. S. (17:10) My question is: it is written that the light enters the vessel, leaves the records and regresses back. The light of Keter goes back to the Emanator and then the record passes the light, so the record became the vessel at that moment?
R. No, no, it's much more complex but the desire to receive that had light and left a record, this will to receive truly becomes a Kli. It knows what it wants, it knows how to operate, it is the record from direct light or reflected light. That record is like all the knowledge about the state that was, everything remains, that is called a record.
S. Inside there is the light that passes? The light, that's what it says?
R. Yes, that too.
8. S. (18:27) It is a similar question. When the record stays after the light departs, where is it at exactly? In the Malchut of Ein Sof?
R. In those places where the light was, there is a light called a record, a Reshimo.
S. And those are the means in the hands of whom?
R. In order to bring back all those Sefirot to functioning we need this record to begin to work. That is why we need to revive them.
9. S. (20:42) Today in the preparation for the lesson we met all the Latin tens in order to work together, to prepare the lesson and as a preparation for the Congress we made up this question: During this lesson we learned that we have to bless the bad just like we do with the good. How can we use the upcoming Congress in order to bless the good states and the bad states and to bring the good to the world vessel and the whole world?
R. When is this next convention?
S: August 27th and 28.
R. So we need to prepare for that; meaning that: what is the topic itself? How are we coming closer to it? What are we preparing for it? It's with certainty that you're working on it, what songs, lessons, workshops, yes? So it is all in your hands. I did not receive anything for the next convention yet. We need to check by which form of connection we will come in the convention so that we will begin to feel, in it, that the Creator is already between us. Okay? So talk between you and discover the way to work and all that there is. Who are your representatives of the convention?
S. There is a team of coordinators that is performing wonderful work. We know that the content of the lessons and the line up is already almost ready. The coordinators will share the final form of the lessons.
R. So let them tell us about this and maybe we should have a few lessons as preparation for the Congress. Okay?
