https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/DdbFBXFd

1. R. (00:12) Yes, let's read it. It's not a long article, it is not so difficult and we'll organize a few things, the way we look at the world and the wisdom of Kabbalah, ourselves, and the Creator.

Reading The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah: (00:24) “Before I go about elucidating the history of …”

Continues Reading: (01:46) “What this wisdom is about. This question comes to mind of…”

2. R. (02:08) Meaning he wants to scrutinize what this wisdom is about.

Continues Reading: (02:15) “This wisdom is no more and no less than …”

2. R. (02:41) He gives us a definition here, a precise definition that the Wisdom of Kabbalah is the sequence of roots that hang down by way of cause and consequence with the goal of revealing his Godliness to his creatures in this world.

Continues reading: (03:05) “And here there is a conduct of general and.…”

3. R. (03:54) Meaning that the end of development of all of creation is that all human beings, everyone, with no exception as he writes here, will reach the attainment of the Creator, the adhesion with the Creator.

4. S. (04:13) What exactly are these roots that hang down?

R. When the Upper light comes from the Creator and some very small desire to receive has awakened in order to reach the shape of the created beings, these are the Upper roots that hang down and come through the world's Atzilut, Bria, Yetzira, and Assiya and built for us in this world the final results from which we start developing. When the will to receive that comes to the final form which is the opposite of the Creator from there he starts developing back, so in this expansion, in this development we have a particular and general.

Continues reading: (05:19) Particular. That even before the perfection of …”

5. S. (06:08) The thing is that what does it mean fixed determined laws that aim to one exalted goal? First of all why do we need laws and what are those laws?

R. We have a Creator that created the creation and he wants creation, the created beings that are the opposite of him, in an opposite desire of him, but they specifically because they exist in the opposite manner. separate. independent from him, they will come to attain him when attainment can only be with equivalence of form, this means that they have to correct themselves in a way that they'll have the image of the Creator fixed in them, the same laws even though they're opposite from the Creator,they'll correct themselves and learn how inside them they cultivate, they grow the Creator. These people are called the people of God.

S. There's the concept that I have not changed HaVaYaH.

R. He gave the law and he will not break it?

S. Why is there no flexibility, why is it not determined?

R. Wait, hold on. You are you asking about something else. Why are we never equal with you ?

S. No, I determined the law and didn’t change it.

R. Yes, the Creator determined the law that the creation has to be the opposite from him, and because he is entirely the will to bestow, so the entire creation is the will receive and from the will to receive it has to come to be in equivalence with him also in the will to bestow.

6. S. (08:32) What does it mean that the knowledge of the Wisdom is as wide and as deep as the ocean?

R. It's because this wisdom, the Wisdom of Kabbalah incorporates inside it the entire nature of the Creator and the entire nature of the created being, meaning both the will to receive and the will to bestow and the connection between the will to receive and the will to bestow, and all those transitions and connections between them, this is the entire wisdom of Kabbalah that comes from a state of being opposite from the Creator in the smallest will to receive, it explain to you how to come through once development from in order to receive to be completely equal to the of the desire to bestow the Creator, by that the created being reaches being the degree of the Creator. Everything is incorporated in the Wisdom of Kabbalah.

7. S. (09:44) I hope I'm asking correctly, who are the prophets of the last generation?

R. Every person reaches this special spiritual degree that is called by the name of this degree, that's it, that's why there are degrees and spirituality when we rise to identify ourselves with the Creator and this certain particular degree is called the prophet, prophecy. The prophecy is something a person receives according to this degree and then he according to the degree is called a prophet. That is it, 23 will learn that there are many degrees and we'll learn it.

Continues: (10:58) “According to the above a question arises, since this …”

8. R. (12:20) This means that in order to reach the understanding of the Creator, his actions from your actions we shall know you, we need many actions and many connections in order to understand him, to feel him, to attain him, as it is written to return until the Lord your God, and will understand him entirely. That's why there’s certainly on our behalf, with patience, great patience and this is how we nonetheless attain him gradually and all his actions and from his actions we really know him.

9. S. (13:13) I look at the definition that Baal HaSulam gives us and he says that it is true and then he gives us a very organized determination, explanation, and I don't understand one word. If we could read the thing that, that the wisdom exactly and explain it all word for word, what he writes there?

R. What the Wisdom is about? This wisdom is no more than no less meaning what is it? Only a sequence of roots that hang down by way of cause and consequence, meaning gradually they cascade from above downwards, determined laws that interweave into a single exalted goal, meaning this whole cascade, the sequence is toward the goal, for us to attain described as the revelation of his godliness of to his creatures in this world.

S. What does that mean a sequence of roots that hang down by way of cause and consequence?

R. What is the sequence of roots? We have roots, one root is the will to receive and one root is the will to bestow and that's it, and these hang down, they cascade both of them they come in all kinds connections, crossings from above downwards, until they eventually build us down both our environment and us in it so we learn this entire creation. There's the Creator and there's the created being, a final result of him from the Creator to the created being, the way it's made, that's what we are learning.

Continues reading: (15:45) “This wisdom is generally divided into two parallel …”

10. S. (16:45) How can I depict revelation of the Creator to the created being in this world if this world is false?

R. We’re talking about a human that according to all his corporeal senses he lives in this world, in a state called this world, but he can develop in him according to the Wisdom of Kabbalah spiritual senses by which he will feel the spiritual world.

11. S. (17:33) What does it mean two systems that are like two drops of water, one above downwards and one from below upward because there’s man's attainment?

R. That's very good, you're asking very nicely from above downwards there's a cascading from from completeness, from wholeness to unwholeness, partialness, and from below upwards there's an ascent from unwhole to be whole, from below upwards, and so if from above downwards there's only a descent of forces, of discernments, from below upwards we already have the ascent of Adam, meaning as the will to receive rises from below upwards it rises through its desire, through its effort, through its MAN, that's why what he attains in each and every ascent he's building himself from these same forces that are in all these degrees from the descent from above downwards in each and every degree, in each and every step there are negative and positive forces, and when the human rises from below upwards he connects these two forces the negative and the positive and he's incorporated within them. That's why he builds himself more and more by these degrees as he climbs them until he reaches the final correction.

S. What does it mean and he attains by raising MAN?

R. He attains through his deficiencies, within his deficiencies he is attaining the degrees of the Creator. The Creator seemingly divided himself into 125 degrees and man now goes and he is attaining these degrees, one by one.

S. The fact that there's from above downward and below upward, we always say that the work is from below upward, it increases the abundance that comes from the Creator 620 times, so why is this similar like two drops of water?

R. Because if you're in a certain ladder in a certain degree, so in your degree where you are, from below upwards you attain what's there from its descent, from above downwards, in that same level of the ladder you're in, right, in that degree, there you attain what's happening in that degree, what was brought down from above downwards to this degree you attain as you climb from below, that's all. He's explaining this in a very simple way. There's really nothing complicated here except for patience and persistence.

S. Is there some extra value or meaning that we're doing it together as a group, as a humanity, building is pictured together?

R. By that you make up an image of the Creator that will be clarified for all of you together. When you connect all of you as one man has one heart in one desire, before it broke it was one, so you will connect, and in that same desire you will feel yourself and the Creator being in complete adhesion.

S. This addition that comes from below upwards, from man, from the ten, from humanity, when we ascend, is there something similar from above downwards or is it something completely new?

R. 620 times more. The fact that we and our efforts we rise climb on that same ladder and we reached from unwholeness to wholeness, from imperfection to perfection, then we reach the revelation of the Creator 620 times more than what lies within these degrees from above downwards. Seemingly we have it, well I don’t know how to say it, in short, in those same degrees from and perfection to perfection through all these problems, through all these obstacles, we discover him, what does that mean 620 times more? Inside NRNHY we discover, this is NRNHY of NRNHY of NRNHY this is 620 times more, we reveal him, we discover him in a way that, the way he wants to be revealed in us but we discover him fully. Otherwise we can't discover why is this whole process made, from above downwards from below upwards.

S. When we arrive from a below upward that's called attainment?

R. That you would invest strength in that separation between darkness and light and by you trying to combine them and you're doing that along with others against the shattering between you and against the rejection from the Creator you turned to him and together all of you, you attain his internality which is something you cannot discover differently.

S. Investing our mutual voice is in the ten until revealing reviews for below upward is there a parallel process for above downward to that?

R. The parallel process is when all these forces come down from above downwards to us and awake us to start they start provoking us to climb from below upwards, maybe I don't understand you.

S. He writes that there's two orders, from below upwards and above downwards. From below upwards there’s the addition of man’s efforts. What's the parallel order from above downward or is it an addition that doesn't exist on this ladder?

R. It exists in the fact that the Creator made the concealment. It provokes us, stimulates us.

S. That's the root of attainment?

R. Concealment is the reason for us to be able to invest forces against the concealment in connection and adhesion and to correct the concealment, to correct the separation, the distance between us and by that we attain the Creator, seemingly the same shape of the Creator is something that can’t attain without our exertion, that's clear but there's beyond exertion here. I'll find the words.

12. S. (25:57) When the system cascades from above downward that’s clear that it can in one moment fill the ascent but when we ascend it's not clear what it means that we are ascending, isn’t it more correct to say that …

R. Don't be so smart, don’t be so smart, listen to what the Kabbalists tell you, don't start with your philosophies. We climb, we rise by us wanting to connect between us, this is the meaning of reaching a higher degree and we feel and we understand that we are incapable of that, on the contrary, the more we start trying to connect between us we suddenly feel how much the quarrel, the forces of rejection increase, and then we turn to the Creator and demand, we’re asking of him to connect us, that's how it works. Don't put in your philosophies into that, there is no such a thing that is what you're saying, it is simply a place for confusion. Listen to what he writes. Don’t add.

13. S. (27:45) He writes in the article that it's like two drops of water from above downward and below upwards, so the order of revelation from below upward is the same order like the development of the light from above downward?

R. No it's not an order that the way it happened in the upper degree it happens in the lower, that's the first and here it’s the first, no, but these orders go by the same style, the same fashion every time a greater desire is being revealed from below upward it's just as a greater desire used to be revealed from above downwards.

S. So only that it's similar?

R. Yes.

14. S. (28:40) What's the role of this complexity of creation?

R. It's not complexity, it simply stems from the Creator and the created being are opposite of each other. You have to build a system of connection between the two and then we learn about the system of connection that has been established between the two, and so what can you do for them to connect, to be identical, even though they are the opposites, that's the reason of the complexity, the difference of form.

S. Let's say there were billions of details obviously there's more but there's billions of details we’re not learning but all of them were advancing from the connection between us so why do we need a billion details and not a million or a thousand?

R. The connection between quantity and quality?

S. He's asking about all the Partzufim, Sefirot, Olamot, why are there so many Sefirot and worlds in the wisdom of Kabbalah is filled about them and I don't understand this answer.

R. It's not that it's good or bad, it's essential for the created being to have an opportunity to overcome the small desires that appear in him, if the desires would be greater he wouldn't be able to overcome them, that's why the tiniest desires appear in the created being, and then the created being can use them to overcome, to work with him, now and what way is it appears in us we see, we feel that even the smallest desire if it goes against our nature we’re incapable of accepting it, that's why they write that is 125 degrees and that but it’s many many more.

S. So there's a billion of tiny desires that one by one we have to go over and correct them?

R. Yes yes in each and every moment yes, that's how it works in a discreet manner.

15. S. (31:09) What does it mean to ascend through the exact same path that came from the root when they appeared from above downward?

R. Just as the will to receive with built, was created by the Upper light from above downwards in a gradual manner more and more and more until it reaches the form that is the opposite complete opposite of the light that's considered to be in this world so we should understand that our path from below upwards is the opposite.

16. S. (31:54) Is the border between spirituality and determined by the extent of Arvut between us, is that a correct way to check it?

R. Yes, corporeality and spirituality, I'm not sure what you're talking when you say corporeality, usually corporeality is in order to receive and spirituality is in order to bestow, corporeality and spirituality, corporeality as we feel in this world is not the same as we refer to in the Wisdom of Kabbalah because this world is entirely it called an imaginary world, it has no, neither in the will to receive nor in the will to bestow it has no discernments.

17. S. (32:42) Between these two processes that are taking place the Creator's concealed in all of them?

R. Concealed from who? From below upwards when we talked about the descent of the degrees there are no created beings yet so who is he concealed from, and from below upwards, yes we can talk according to the ascent of the will to receive of man and these degrees and from these degrees were talking about the revelation of the Creator according to these degree.

18. S. (33:24) Do we have to correct eight billion desires?

R. It will be corrected, I'm not concerned about that. One should care about how he should correct himself and his ten and he'll see what the Creator presents before him.

Continues reading: (33:54) “This wisdom is generally divided into two parallel …"

19. S. (36:15) It's written here that revelation of godliness depends …

R. A screen, a screen a person has when he guards his will to receive to only be in order to bestow.
