Histaklut Pinimit Item 2
49. R. We have learned that the entire world of AK and ABYA are only Hizdakut are the five discernment from Keter to Malchut but the last two degrees in MA and BON the matter of the second Restriction was added to them, from the lower Hey that rises to the Eynaim, that Aviut Dalet or to the Metzach Aviut Shoresh, they also have the matter of Katnut and Gadlut that by the Upper Zivug of AB SAG the new Ohr comes out that lowers the bottom Hey from the Eynaim and Metzach and then the Gadlut comes as we know, the one that returned AHP to the degree and returning that AHP to the degree by the Upper Zivug is called HaVaYaH de Alephin. Aleph as we said is the hint of the Tzimtzum Bet, and you know that every Partzuf from the 5 degrees must expand on its own, also in 5 degrees because a new Zivug cannot come out on the Masach but after it rise from Malchut de Rosh, meaning that it must be entirely purified until it becomes pure like the Keter de Rosh. Hence the 4 degrees of its purity are extracted until it equalizes to the Malchut de Rosh and because the Upper One does not stop from Illuminating in the World of Nekudim that is the degree of MA, we have an addition that except for the 5 degrees that come out of the purification there are also 3 whole Partzufim meaning that were born and came out on the renewing of Aviut of the Malchut de Rosh where AB SAG MA in each one of them come out on the 4 degrees in its purity meaning 4 Zivugim on the way to purify the Masach from the Tabur to Ohr de Chazeh to the Peh except what came out of the Rosh without a Guf because there wasn't sufficient Aviut to build the Guf this is why the rising of the Masach does not occur. You find that the 3 Patzufim which came out of the World of Nekudim, even though it is one detail AK like three-Partzufim of AK that 3 Zivugim happened by the rising of the Masach and formulating in the Malchut de Rosh in Abba ve Ima in the World of Nekudim in that needs an explanation because what changed in MA de AK it was divided by itself into the three Partzufim that was AB SAG MA of AK and the matter is that a new thing happened here, meaning a new Light that came out of the Zivug AB SAG, that it came and annulled the Parsa of Tzimtzum Bet and resembled its measure with AK to expand to the point of this world and from the force of this additional detail of the Partzufim of AK there was a force meaning a Masach that could expand itself to 3 Partzufim like AK, until it's force disappeared and came back to Tzimtzum Bet. After the Masach of the Guf was purified which is Abba ve Ima, and DHGT, it equalized the Malchut de Rosh which is Peh of the Abba ve Ima and the Aviut of SAG renewed. This brings out the Yeshsut and TNHYM (Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchut) after the Masach of the Guf came out the Aviut of Aleph renewed in it and that brought out Hitpashtut, until the Daat from below upward, meaning from the Rosh from below upward and connected the VAK in the connection of the correction of Kavim, the Tzimtzum Bet did not return to its place because there is still a bit of the new Kav beneath the Parsa, that it lowered and purified the first Hey, from the lower one, that only has the degree Zeir Anpin, and only then that it was completely purified and performed all of the Zivugim there so that the new Light disappeared and broke through Parsa, completely. Since that Light disappeared. we find that the force of the Tzimtzum Bet returned to its place like the Katnut of the World of Nekudim. Because the new Ohr of AB SAG, came and you see that the new Light that broke through Parsa caused the 3 whole Partzufim in the world of Nekudim, as it was in AK, that's why the Nekudim are called Olam, because they have Hitpashtut of Partzufim which are whole and inclusive, meaning each one includes 5 degrees like in AK, in a way that from the Katnut in them they are considered only one detail in AK, that they are the degree of MA because of the Gadlut in them of the new light they are considered a full Olam with full 3 Partzufim as explained, meaning all in all it depends how we observe Nekudim, either we see it as 1 Partzuf or we see it as Partzufim that came out one after the other, even though the 3 Partzufim like in the Partzuf AK, but still for us they are considered as one Partzuf, in AK we say AB SAG and MA BON we say it's the World of Atzilut and what happens in the World of Nekudim we learn and obviously we take into account and from it the Partzufim Atzilut and Beria come out, but it is all because this world on its own does not exist, it was shattered and from its remnants we see that all of the worlds ABYA was built in us and we all rise because of the shattering and the World of Nekudim. Olam ha Nekudim.
S. How can it be in the Zivug that we have Eynaim and Metzach you get Gadlut?
R. Because you add that Aviut and in this Aviut of Aviut Shoresh comes Ubar, the embryo then in Zivug Aleph you get Katnut and then in Bet Gimel Dalet, you get Gadlut, this is how the Aviut in the Masach determines the degrees. That is why the Ubar is entirely Aviut Aleph, but in Aviut Shoresh we also have the 4 degrees, 1-2-3-4 and entirely, in them the embryo grows in his mother until it is born. Birth means it went from Aviut Shoresh to Aleph and it grows Aviut Aleph until in order to bestow it is called the Bet and receiving in order to bestow is Gimel and Dalet. That is what we learned.
50. S. (10:32) The thing about finding the internality, I like it, by the Upper Zivug AB and SAG a new light comes out, what is this?
R. New Light always comes from above, everything is new, it is always a new Light, it is a Light that comes to correct the vessels, that I have a deficiency below but the deficiency is not a force, I want like a child, I want. So, in my desire I need to scrutinize what do I want. If I want to bestow and I don't have the force for it, but I know what I need to bestow and who to bestow to. If my request, if my desire if my deficiency is okay then that is called that I raised MAN, Mayin Nukvin, the deficiency for the Upper One, I asked the Upper One to give me the forces, I don't have the forces of my own, spiritual forces and I receive forces from above. I received the force and by this I advance, so the force that comes from above is the force that brings me a Masach, no more than that,a Masach. It is even more to say that I'm getting the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the Creator gives me a feeling that I want to give Him bestow to Him, I want to relate myself to Him, this is called that the Gadlut of BoReh, shines upon me and I get the force of bestowal from it, I want to bestow and give to Him, in this way I get the force of bestowal.
S. There is something of the work in the ten in there?
R. Of course, nothing but the greatness of the Creator, knowing the greatness of the Creator, I don't need anything but that. This is also what we say Fishka, there’s a little turn around here, if I see that the Creator is great who will not want to serve the great one, I will lower myself and that's it. It is from nature, if the Creator as much as He is greater, I will feel myself that is worth to surrender, it is worth serving him as a small one towards the big one, in an egoistic way I will do this. How should I do this from faith. This is what we still need to explain.
S. You say faith without feeling anything in the ten?
R. Without revealing the Creator.
S. So what is the practical work in the ten without feeling anything and do the work of the Creator?
R. I'm willing to work for the Creator of because I'm impressed by the friends of how great the Creator is.
S. By the friends?
R. Yes, why do I need friends, why did the Creator break everything into many pieces, people so I can get inspired by them and relate to Him without revealing Him.
S. I have to see the friend is the Creator?
R. Well that also, but we need to be careful to want to discover the Creator, to the extent you don't want to discover Him then in that rejection He is where He is revealed that is what we still need to learn slowly more you feel that we are getting closer.
51. S. (15:15) Can you explain the matter of the breaking of Parsa, that Baal HaSulam mentions here?
R. No, that is something huge, the breaking of the Parsa, but you can search for it in the questions and answers there. The explanation of the words, you can find it there easy.
52. S. (15:54) Do you say HaVaYaH of Alephin is hinting at the second restriction as far as I know they AHP they are outside of the degree, so why is the Gadlut called HaVaYaH Alephin?
R. Because we use the Yud and the Dalet with the Parsa in the middle and in such a way we use the vessels that, Tzimtzum Aleph doesn’t annul, it isn't canceled but the Tzimtzum Bet is partially cancelled that we used the vessels of Kabbalah but only if we connect them to the vessels of bestowal, AHP that joins Galgalta Eynaim but not the AHP on its own, this is what happened in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, he thought that he could cancel Parsa and use all of the vessels together.
S. So the second restriction meaning Gadlut is received above Parsa, that's why the second restriction is not canceled?
R. Well let's say so, it is different but it's in the right direction.
53. S. (17:21) How can it be the purification of Partzuf allows us to work with the Aviut?
R. So what does the purification mean, it means that I have more forces that my Aviut became more pure, it’s not that the Aviut is annulled but it takes upon itself intentions to bestow.
S. The Light doesn't leave Partzuf during the purification?
R. I know sometimes you use a word in this way or that way but we're speaking about a vessel that became more pure, meaning more in order to bestow, closer to the Light.
54. S. (18:18) I don't understand TES, but when I listen, I feel awakening in my heart, is this an illusion or how can I check this in my feelings?
R. Read item 155 in the introduction to TES.
*Item 155 introduction to the study of TES*
55. Reader: Accordingly we should ask how come Kabbalists obligated each person to study the Wisdom of Kabbalah since there is a great thing here that is worthy of publicizing since there is a great remedy to those who engage in the Wisdom of Kabbalah. Even though they don't understand what they are studying, their yearning and there's strong desire to understand what they are learning they awaken in themselves the Surrounding Lights, the Lights that surround their souls. Meaning each person from Israel is guaranteed in the end to attain all of those amazing attainments that the Creator contemplated in the thought of creation to delight every creature. One who has not been awarded in this life will be granted in the next life. Until one is awarded completing his thought, which he had planned for him as it is written in the Zohar. And while one has not attained perfection, the Lights that are destined to reach him are considered surrounding lights. This means that they stand ready for him but are waiting for him to purify his vessels of reception and then these lights will clothe in the able vessels. Hence even when he does not have the vessels, when he engages in this wisdom, meaning mentioning the names of the lights and the vessels related to his soul, they immediately illuminate upon him to a certain extent, however they illuminate without clothing the interior of his soul, for lack of vessels able to receive them. Yet the illumination one receives time after time during the engagement draws upon Him grace from above and imparts him with abundance of sanctity and purity. This brings him much closer to achieving his wholeness.
R. Anyone want to ask about this.
56. S. (20:18) How can the part of question and answers pull us into the intellect?
R. Nothing can confuse us if we study correctly with what the teacher gives us and what is written in the book. If you after the teacher tells you if you don't hear, and what is in is written in the books of Baal HaSulam and in this Introduction especially you also don't take it into account but it is all according to your brain that repeats itself like a brain on the same thing like you're used to studying like this in school in the Academy, so you don't belong to the Wisdom of Kabbalah. You belong to all kinds of other wisdoms, so go to them, just not here with us not for attaining to the Creator. I have nothing else to explain and any more than that I'm not coming back to this again. More than this we don't ask, today we are done with these questions and enough of time that we have wasted on it and everyone will now be aimed only to attain the materials about spiritual advancement and how to do it. We learn we put ourselves and the correct way towards it and we advance and that's it.
57. S. (24:12) Today we learned something very important and very blessed, the intention of the reading and with your permission this group of Jerusalem Kabbalists to learn by heart the words of the ARI, because I had to read a lot to study by heart how come the Reforming Light didn't touch them?
R. It all depends on the intention, all about the intention there are such Kabbalists that I went to I wanted to study with I search for them I went to them, they studied and they know like Baal HaSulam writes, that you tell them a certain word and they will continue my heart but then when you ask them they don't know anything of attainment, only from their brains of what is written down. And that is the difference between learning wisdom or Torah.
S. Can we conclude by saying the Reforming Light is without compromise, meaning if you call on him …?
R. They are spiritual laws, what there are laws of nature, can you do anything against them? No, it is between us, between people that we are confused. Where each one is trying to do whatever is convenient for them, they flip things around but against the laws of nature? Let's say in physics and chemistry, all kinds of laws of nature can you do something about them? No. You have information you have data, you do this and you get that. That's how it works. If we don't acquire the intention to bestow, we will not reveal the Upper Force, the Creator. We will remain as beast, the passage from beast to man meaning to the spiritual degree is a passage you acquire by bestowing, The vessel of bestowal and it has nothing to do with your mind. It only depends on the intention in the heart.
S. It has nothing to do with the reading but with the actions were doing?
R. Everything the Creator wants only this, that is what the intention of the heart demands Iben Ezra writes nicely about that you can find it there. Only the intentions of the heart.
58. S. (27:02) Can you explain to us what is the revelation of the Creator?
R. Revealing the Creator means revealing the force of bestowal that connects between all of us together, and helps us rise from the feeling of this world to the feeling of the Upper World, eternal and whole , and we must reach it because all in all we were born and exist in the spiritual world and right now we are in the shattered state temporarily only in order to discover our desire to rise to the spiritual world to rise towards connection, our Reshimot are pushing us ahead, meaning it's not that we will want it or not want it, we will decide yes or no, nobody is asking of the person, the Reshimot once they are revealed they come from the shattering of the Kli of Adam HaRishon, the whole one, and whether we want it or not, we will want it, we will want to connect, we’ll want to reach the revelation of the Creator, we’ll want to reach one vessel, to be filled with the Light of Ein Sof, we will want it. The question is in which way will we want it. Whether through suffering or through the Light that Reforms called Torah. By two ways comes the Wisdom of Kabbalah, and says it is possible to reveal all these things, that you will have to do it, no choice, but you can do it in a nice and easy and convenient way that is quick. Instead of going through a third and fourth world war and suffering and problem and so on, you can do it in connection between you. Also connection you won’t be able to do, but you will discover that it is worth it and I’ll explain what it means that it’s worth it, and then you will ask for forces about it. Ask for forces and then connect and then according to the connection, you will start feeling like you live in an eternal world.
Reader Ibn Ezra article: Now pay attention and know that all of the Commandments that are written in the Torah are those that accepted from the Patriarchs as being corrected even though all of them and most of them are in action of the heart, it is all in order to correct the heart. because the Creator demands all of the hearts and understands all of the desires.
