70) Yet, there is another issue here. In the previous Partzufim, the screen was made only of the records of coarseness of the Guf of the upper one, during the refinement of the screen to the Peh of the Rosh of the upper one. But here, in the refinement of the screen of SAG of AK for Nekudim, this screen contained two kinds of records. Besides containing its own records of coarseness, with respect to the Sefirot of the Guf of SAG of AK, it also contains the records of coarseness of ZON of AK below the Tabur, due to their mixture together below Tabur of AK, as it is written in Item 61, that Nekudot of SAG descended below Tabur of AK and mixed with ZON of AK there.
M. Laitman: Meaning what? When SAG of AK came out on records of 3 over 2 and expanded below the Peh of Rosh after the coupling by striking, that expansion is called Taamim [tastes]. When the tastes or flavors were finished, when 3 by 2 expanded downwards, and the Partzufim of Nekudot began to come out, the 3 of Hitlabshut [clothing], moved away, and 2 remained. Now that 2 is now being refined, YKVK, refines back to come to the Peh of Rosh again. There are two actions here. On the one hand, these Taamim, these tastes, when they become refined, they come to records of 2 of clothing, 1 of coarseness. And besides being refined, at the same time, all those Partzufim, all those lights, go down below Tabur. When they go below the Tabur, here, they become their own Partzuf which has its own role to fill up the NHY of Galgalta with light of Hassadim. When it fills it, it gets an impression from the NHY of Galgalta, the records of 4 by 3, which are records of reception, records on light of Hochma, which Galgalta wanted to receive, and want to receive in order to bestow. And they have these desires in them, which are still not corrected for the act of reception in order to bestow. And then these records, because this Partzuf is entirely 2 of clothing, 2 of coarseness, these records, 4 over 3, or let's say, records of 4, in short. And here you have a record of 2. So, 4 and 2 together fill themselves, and the Partzuf Nekudot SAG, the tables open each other in such a way that Partzuf 2, which is Bina, feels that its AHP, or its ZAY, cannot provide Malchut, the 4 of coarseness everything it demands. And that's why Bina restricts herself. Then Malchut rises to her Tiferet. And that act is called the ascent of Malchut to Bina is called the second restriction. And then it turns out that Bina sees that what she can use is only this part, which is called Galgalta ve Eynaim, vessels of Keter, Hochma Bina, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, only. Because the vessels below Tifferet, Netzachot, Yesod, and Malchut are vessels of reception where there are no screens that Bina can give to Malchut. And also, all this impression also rises to the Rosh of SAG. So, the Reshimo, the record of 2 over 1 of flavors went up, and the records of 2 and 4 that was restricted, so we write 2 over 1 plus second restriction. So, it will be half a Partzuf. From here until here it can expand and use the vessels. And besides this, why was it restricted? Because it has 4 over 3 in it. It receives an impression from 4 over 3 in the desires that exist at the south of Galgalta, that's why in the wash of SAG, after SAG is refined, many records, many records, two over one that come from the Taamim of SAG, on that emerges Partzuf called MA, which has from Peh of Galgalta, it has Rosh and Guf, and then when it refines, Partzuf BON comes out. Rosh and Guf. That's it. By this, this record of two over one from the Taamim of SAG, by this it realizes itself. What's remained for us, what gives us a continuation of the whole process, is these records. They bring us to the whole development, up to man and this world and everything. We got the AB, SAG, MA and BON, by this they are completed, and they form the world of Keter, the world of Adam Kadmon. It's above the Tabur and everything that happens, happens below the Tabur where there is Malchut. Because she is the one that demands correction
.
Reader: So again, (07:28)since although it's included from its own records from Sag Avak, it's also included from the Sefirot of Zon Avak, below the tabo.
Due to their mixture together below Tabur Avak, as it is writTen in item 61, the Nekodot of Sag descended below Tabur Avak and mixed with Zon Avak there.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:03) You say about the sharing of the measures of judgment and mercy, what are we talking about? What we're reading right now, the intermingling of the 4-3 and Nekudim mixture there, what exactly happens there with the two of them together?
M. Laitman: We still haven't come to the association, we only came to a state where the Partzuf of the Nekudot of SAG was restricted. There is no association or anything. If I come over to your place and push you where you are, let's say, you live in a certain room, this is your room, your bed, closet, chair, table. You have all your stuff there, and let's say, at some time, suddenly, I walk into your room and push you to half of it, and in the other half I begin to live. Is this association? It's not association. I came into your place and I restricted you, confined you. Afterwards, if I sit in your room and I will use that room as if it's mine, and then we will have common vessels from yours and mine where we want to be associated, then it may be called association. But for now, no. To come to association, it has to be where you control half, I control half, both of us have a grip on something, and then when we have a good will, without any pressure from the outside, and without egoism between us, it is for a goal that is above us, we unite. And for that goal, we unite. You are an egoist in your own territory, and I'm an egoist in my territory, in the two halves of the room, and we connect together. Why? To feel good in the room? No. If we only do it in order to feel good, we remain on the same level. We do it in order to connect to a third party, for the sake of a third party. That's the process we need to go through. In the meantime, we see only one thing. Malchut entered Bina, places or desires in Bina. I want to control, I'm in control. And ZAT of Bina was restricted through the pressure of Malchut. This is what is happening here. Now you have a place where there are vessels and lights. Here you have vessels and lights. Here you have life and vitality. And underneath there is restriction. That place becomes empty. Malchut went up to that place, to Bina, to Tifferet, Bina of the Guf. Here you have complete lights, there's wholeness. Here there is lack, absence. So these two parts are completely contradictory. This is what is happening. So you remain in your room, I pushed you to half of it, and I went in, wildly, into half of the room. One is yours, one is mine. There's no association. On the contrary, these two parts are completely different from one another. They cannot connect. In order to connect, they have to be brought into some sort of equality in desires, in lights, in vessels, in everything. The association can't be just like that, between water and fire. What association? And the difference between them is an extreme difference. It's really fire and water.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:51) It seems like Malchut doesn't enter Bina.
M. Laitman: No, Malchut actually enters Bina because she gives Bina her desire, demands of Bina, give me strength, vessels, lights. And Bina cannot do it. Bina cannot do it. This is why she becomes restricted. Because the ZAT of Bina is in order to serve Malchut. So it turns out that that part is now restricted. It's got nothing to give to Malchut. So what I want to say is, here there is our very, there's still a long way to the association. The association is done only by us. Where now there is the world of Nekudim, the breaking of the world of Nekudim, the emergence of the worlds Atzilut, Bria, Yetzira, Assiya, the correction of the world, the system of the worlds. Afterwards, a special Partzuf comes out, which is called Adam HaRishon. It breaks like the world of Nekudim. It's also born by some association of Malchut and Bina, but it's not real association. It's divided into two parts, where you can use the upper part, and it's forbidden to use the bottom part. It's written, you can eat from all the trees of the garden, except for the tree of knowledge, the bottom tree and its Partzuf, it's forbidden to use. So they're not in association, these two parts and the structure of Adam HaRishon. And there is a breaking in him as well, like the breaking here in the world of Nekudim. And when that Adam breaks, the system is now ready for him to correct itself. And when he corrects himself within himself, it will cause the association of Bina with Malchut, so that Malchut will acquire all the qualities of Bina, and rise to the degree of Keter, the degree of the Emanator. So when you say, where's the association? Here, it's still very far from the association.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:25) Can you explain about what you wrote on the circle about the, four, three to one there until the restriction?
M. Laitman: These records I mentioned here are two kinds of records, which come from below Tabur. Here, this part marks it. From where? Below Tabur. Below Tabur, lights of Bina went down. They mingled with Malchut. The level that went down is two of coarseness, two of clothing. It went down and mixed with NHY of Galgalta, received four over three from NHY of Galgalta records, or we can just call it four. But it's four over 3three because there was a refinement on all the levels of Galgalta. These records, four over three, operate on ZAT of Bina, because ZAT of Bina are vessels of reception. ZAT of Bina are vessels of reception in order to give to the lower one, though. But now the lower one is asking for things that can destroy it. So, what should Bina do? ZAT of Bina, who understands it, becomes restricted. The influence of Malchut on Bina restricts Bina. Bina doesn't have the strength to give to Malchut corrections and fillings. The system still doesn't exist. So, Bina becomes restricted. And it becomes restricted and becomes refined altogether. Because that refinement, where does it come from? It comes from here, from the decision in Tabur, from the clash between inner and surrounding, that all these lights have to be refined. But as they become refined and exit the body, the Guf, they go down, become mixed, receive the restriction, and then depart. It's all on the way back. Just like I'm telling you, leave my apartment. Get out of my apartment. That's the clash of inner and surrounding. When the surrounding light forces the Partzuf to become refined. And when you exit my apartment from the room four, three, two, one, you walk out completely. It's the example of Rabash, that's why I'm repeating it. So, along the way, you become incorporated with all kinds of states that you find in the other rooms. You see, you know, and understand, and feel, and it operates on you. But you are walking out. This is why it's called Partzuf Nekudot of SAG on one hand, and on the other hand, it expanded to the new place as it went out. As it expanded here on its way out, it mixed, and an additional impression happened in it. Besides the two over one, like in the rest of the Partzufim, say Garta was refined. Comes to its Peh, and wants to build AB. So, it has records of four over three. And on that, she builds AB. AB is refined. He has records of three over two over which he engenders SAG. Only one record. It's double. It's a record of clothing and a record of coarseness, but it's one couple. Here, too, you have a record from the flavors, Taamim. You have two over one on which MA and BON come out. But besides, along the way, when you have the level of Bina here that can go below Tabur, and can somewhat fill Malchut, it's still an addition. That's why Bina goes down during her ascent, her refinement. And she also goes down, and from this process, she brings another impression. Two over one, plus second restriction. What is it? It's the same two over one, but with second restriction, meaning you can use only up to the vessels that are down to the Parsa. And besides, why was there a restriction here? Because they were impressed by four over three. So they take those four over three up, too. So these are the additional records they brought from below Tabur. And therefore, these records, when they ask for a coupling to be made on them, it is certain that when a coupling is made on them, it will, first of all, make a coupling two over one, restricted, this is called being in the Nikve Eyaim of the Rosh of SAG. A coupling is on condition that now what we have expands in the same place from which the records came, and on condition that it's in the records. Meaning only in a place that is from the Tabur to the Parsa. And that part is called Nekudim, the world of Nekudim. It comes out on the records of two over four plus the second restriction. Afterwards, within this Partzuf, Bina will nevertheless want to give to Malchut. Then she will make that Partzuf big to the level of four over three, meaning the screen will go down to the Peh, and it will be a coupling on the Peh of the Rosh of SAG. And light will come down here, and that Partzuf will expand through the Parsa to the Siyum, like Partzuf of Nekudot of SAG. This will come out on the records of four over three.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:17) What is that state of records of two of clothing and two of coarseness? We usually talk about the gap between the two. What's this state in Bina where it's two over two?
M. Laitman: You're right. It's actually two over one. But I have to give some characteristic here. Three of clothing disappeared immediately from Tabur. We remained with only Bet of clothing and Bet of coarseness. And Bet of clothing and Bet of coarseness begin a process of refinement. Two of clothing remains because it's the light of the Ta'amim, the flavors that was in SAG. So, the light that was always remains, but one of coarseness, we get it now, comes out instead of two of coarseness. How does one of coarseness come out? Gradually, along the refinement. Meaning what? We have a Partzuf in which the light began to expand with the degree, route one, two, three, and four. This is how the light expanded, went inside from the Peh to the Tabur. Now the Partzuf is refined. So, it is refined gradually. Gradually refines. As it refines, coarseness of four, three, two, one, exit. What four, three, two, one, zero of the coarseness that was? Let's say there was two of coarseness. Coarseness number two. Now coarseness number two is refined. Here you'll have coarseness number one, right? Meaning, the whole process we're going through is four, three, two, one, root of two of coarseness, right? Because it's of two of coarseness, I write two over two. This is why I write two over two. When it comes here, to the Peh of the Rosh of SAG, back, of course, it has two over one. But throughout this process, what level is being refined? Level two.
hree. And on that, she builds AB. AB is refined. He has records of three over two over which he engenders SAG. Only one record. It's double. It's a record of clothing and a record of coarseness, but it's one couple. Here, too, you have a record from the flavors, Taamim. You have two over one on which MA and BON come out. But besides, along the way, when you have the level of Bina here that can go below Tabur, and can somewhat fill Malchut, it's still an addition. That's why Bina goes down during her ascent, her refinement. And she also goes down, and from this process, she brings another impression. Two over one, plus second restriction. What is it? It's the same two over one, but with second restriction, meaning you can use only up to the vessels that are down to the Parsa. And besides, why was there a restriction here? Because they were impressed by four over three. So they take those four over three up, too. So these are the additional records they brought from below Tabur.

And light will come down here, and that Partzuf will expand through the Parsa to the Siyum, like Partzuf of Nekudot of SAG. This will come out on the records of four over three.Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:17) What is that state of records of two of clothing and two of coarseness?
