Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. #12 

Reading item #12: (00:38) “It was also necessary to install the Parsa….”  twice.

1. S. (03:45) What does he say that the Parsa is for the sake of the world of Beria so that it will be able to receive the light extended for it?

R. Yes, because until the Parsa we have the expansion of lights without limitations but rather the Parsa is that which ascends and descends and passes the lights only according to those that are in equivalence of form with her.

S. The Parsa is not until now, I thought it was a kind of a restriction?

R. No, the restriction and the Parsa are two different things. The Parsa can also go downwards and also rise upwards, we haven't read that yet.

S. Until now?

Rav reading: Item 12:  It was also necessary to install the Parsa and further diminish the lights that come out through the Parsa, the reason for the additional diminution through the Parsa is not for the world of Nikudim itself, which is the world of Atzilut, but for the world of Beria below it, so it would be able to receive the light extended for it. Now you can understand how there is a screen and Parsa between Beria and Atzilut, however from Atzilut to what is above it, there is no need for an actual screen, only remoteness of location which is the above-mentioned restriction because the light rose above the Tabur and drew far from the point opposite the Tabur and down from the outside, so we didn't read yet item 12 below.

Reading item number 12 Inner Light: (06:14)

2. R. (09:08) The Parsa isn't the limit that just stands and doesn't move, but it can ascend and descend it can be canceled, as happened in the shattering of the vessels and so on. 

 Reading Continues: (09:25)

3. R. (09:55) Because in the world of Atzilut, there are lights, the light of Hochma. Atzilut comes from the word Etz-lo, at his area. Revelation of the Creator, and in the world of Beria no. Beria comes from the word Bar outside of the degree, as it is written, and that's what shows.

Reading continues: (10:23)

4. R. (11:22) That means that we need, it's very important things, we need to understand what the role of the Parsa is and what the need for this, how it separates between the vessels that can receive in order to bestow meaning the light of Hochma to the vessels of Bina, which means to bestow in order to bestow.

Reading continues: (11:49)

5. R. (12:40) Galgalta.

Reading continues: (12:45)

6. R. (12:52) Here there was a coupling on infancy, on the smallness of GE, instead of the light going down to the Sium of the Raglaim it can only go down to the Tabur.

Reading continues: (13:03)

7. R. (13:35) That the Parsa isn't an actual real limit, marking the end but only for the light of Hochma.

Reading item number 13: (13:49)

8. R. (14:35) He says that in a concealed way, the learned one will understand from this what is written that any emergence of new lights and additional worlds is only by the restriction of light. This is because so was the restriction of Ein Sof to elicit AK and AK to elicit Nikudim which is to elicit Atzilut. All this is very close to the revoking of the Malchut and prohibited to elicit the Peh as it is a high place. Well, we'll have to see what he tells us.

Reading item number 13 Inner Light: (15:17)

9. R. (16:17) That without the departure of the light we have no new vessels.

Reading continues: (16:26)

10. R. (16:37) Close to the revoking of the Kings.

Reading Close to the Revoking of the Kings: (16:46)

11. R. (18:37) Meaning where does the Parsa stand, it stands between Atzilut to BYA. In Atzilut the light can still appear there and in BYA not anymore, it's the light of birth as we say.

Reading item number 14: (19:01)

Reading item number 14 Inner Light: (20:51) 

12. R. (22:50) It's an external Partzuf.

Reading continues: (22:54)

13. R. (23:48) Meaning there are going to be additional divisions in the Partzufim that are now going to come out of the upcoming couplings. 

Reading continues: (23:57)

14. R. (28:47) This is how we reach the new light in the shattering and so on.

Reading continues: (28:58)

15. S. (32:38) The breaching of the Parsa, when Parsa was breached, why couldn't it resist the entry of the lights, and how did it affect the second restriction?

R. Parsa was shattered and canceled because the lights were too big and were bigger than it was. That's all.

16. S. (33:15) Why did the expansion of YESHSUT into the Tabur cause a descent of phase four into Parsa, why did the expansion of YESHSUT from to Tabur cause this breaching?

R. Because the seven lower Sephirot of Bina were connected to GE and now that connection between them was canceled, and the lights can expand from ZAT of Bina downward, and that caused the shattering.

S. But this whole innovation of YESHSUT is up to the Tabur, so how does it affect the Parsa or maybe Tabur is the Tabur of AK?

R. It is Tabur of AK, what other Tabur is there?

S. It's not clear, they're both unrelated to each other in completely different places, why does the expansion YESHSUT down to Tabur affect the lights that passed through the Parsa?

R. YESHSUT expands until the Parsa. When it ascends until the Tabur all the lights are there.

S. YESHSUT expands down to Parsa?

R. It can expand to the Parsa, why not it's the vessels of bestowal?

S. The question is if it can expand down to there what causes it to make it so that through Parsa lights pass? How does it allow lights to pass through Parsa?

R. When the lights pass through the Parsa that's the shattering already.

S. What's the breaching he talks about it's not that?

R. No, we will learn about it.

S. What is the difference between Nekudim and Atzilut, why are they two different things?

R. Atzilut are vessels of bestowal GE, and in them, the light can expand also the light of Hochma.

S. As opposed to Nekudim?

R. Nekudim is something else.

S. But what's the difference because they're in the same place? Is it a coupling on a different light? What distinguishes them?

R. What distinguishes them is that in the light of Atzilut, the light of Hochma can exist and then in Nekudim it can cause the shattering of the Parsa.

17. S. (36:34) It's not completely clear what is this Parsa, it's not just a regular ending like the Sium, the ending that happened before. Is it a Sium that is made to change later?

R. Yes.

S. It says when you show a pistol in the first act it will be used sometime later, so it's not clear how such a thing is born.

R. The Parsa?

S. Yes.

R. It was born from the difference between the vessels of the bestowal and the vessels of reception in order to discern between them there is a limit, there's a border that slices them and cuts them from one another, it's a difference between GE and AHP.

S. There is a boundary, there was a boundary before there was a Tabur before and also kind of a boundary, but here it's a boundary that is to begin with is intended to open up later. It's as if the Rosh of SAG is planning by making the Parsa planning the breaking already?

R. Yes, Keter and Hochma are whole vessels, but Bina already is mixed with Hochma and with Keter and it connects between them and eventually it causes the shattering.

S. It's like something very sophisticated that's going several steps ahead of time?

R. Yes of course. 

18. S. (38:29) He talks about the world of Nekudim in Katnut and says it divides into two, the part above the Tabur is YESHSUT, and below the Tabur is GAR of Nekudim. Are these the Partzufim of the Se’arot that we learned about?

R. No that's what we're learning about coming up.

19. S. (38:55) What is the role of the Parsa?

R. We don't know yet, we're going to learn that soon. It's in order to spread the lights equally between the vessels of reception.

S. Does it work like a sponge that it absorbs?

R. It raises, it ascends, and descends according to letting the lights be closer and closer to their vessels. That's the role of the Parsa.
