Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah

Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #94

1. S. (02:34) Rav drawing: Here we have two degrees, at the time Aba ve Ima received a new light of AB SAG that they received it from above and they lowered the bottom Hey from the Nikvey Eynaim back to the Peh, that they first had two degrees Galgalta Eynaim and AHP and raised their AHP to them meaning they connected their AHP back to their degree, to a one and no longer two but it is one degree ten sefirot. Here the ZAT too which clothes these AHP too during the smallness. Meaning the AHP of Galgalta Eynaim and the ZAT that were together with them also grew together with them to Aba ve Ima and thus the ZAT became a single degree with Aba ve Ima. Here this ascent of ZAT to Aba ve Ima is called raising MAN and when they are at the same degree as Aba ve Ima they received the lights of Aba ve Ima as well, meaning each and every degree that was once divided, into Galgalta and AHP, one and two when the upper light comes to them, then the lower degree receives forces to annul the border between them, the Parsa [barrier], and to raise the lower one to the upper degree, that's how it is. Then, these ZAT when they rise above, they are called that they are together with Aba ve Ima, plus ZAT and then they receive the same lights and the same conditions, what is found, everything which is in Aba ve Ima, it all depends on this great light OR, the big light which comes from above. Very simple matter.

2. S. (05:46) So he says that this ascent of ZAT to Aba ve Ima is called the ascent of man “raising MAN” and when they are at the same degree as Aba ve Ima they receive the lights as Aba ve Ima as well so how do they rise, according to the answer here, that we’re in the same degree so what brought them to this ascent later of ZAT to Aba ve Ima?

R. As an illumination it includes them from above.

S. What is the essence of this action?

R. The upper light which illuminates upon the desire gives the desire an addition, a force, sanctity and then the desire wants to be greater, more holy, more bestowing, because that's how the upper light influences it and then he wants to rise.

S. What is the role of Aba ve Ima? What's the essence of Aba ve Ima in this whole article?

R. Aba ve Ima is Galgalta Eynaim when they were in the highest degree, now there is half of their degree called ZON, ZAT and they can't work with their vessels of reception and they don't even want to work by themselves Aba ve Ima are Gar, also don't want to be in reception but the light comes from above, awakening the ZAT of the degree that wanted to be in bestowal previously and by the upper light they do want to be in bestowal. Then, they raise themselves to Aba ve Ima first in a prayer and then in reception of the force from Aba ve Ima and that raises them upwards and they connect to Aba ve Ima and while being in Aba ve Ima they start being like Aba ve Ima in addition then Aba ve Ima and the ZAT that rose to them become as a Partzuf one degree of Gadlut and they received not only the light of Hassidim [mercy] as they were as they were small but they receive as the light of Hochma [wisdom] in Gadlut.

3. S. (08:43) Due to the upper light that came to ZAT there was this ascent and I would expect it to be called MAD. Why is it called MAN? There is a reception of something?

R. I don’t know what you're saying. There is MAD and there is MAN. That’s right, there is MAD but here we are talking about the MAN. We’ll see soon.

Item # 95

4. R. (11:14) We have a baby with the mother, and we have the father. The baby cries and demands something from the mother. The mother doesn't have what to give, she has to buy and make the food for the baby and then she turns to the father, and the father goes and brings salary, buys things and the mother cooks and gives it to the baby. You have three degrees here, the baby, the mother and the father. That's what we need to scrutinize here. That is what he is saying here. I'm reading number 95 again.

It is called MAN [why is it called MAN, this action] since as explained in the ascent of ZA to Bina brings her [Bina] back to being face to face with [Bina to Bina as from Hochma, give me light of Hochma] Hochma. It is known that every ZAT are ZON [yes ZON is ZAT] hence, when the ZAT ascended with the AHP of Aba ve Ima to the degree of Aba ve Ima [the AHP of Aba ve Ima were fallen before first in ZAT and now ZAT demands of them so they raise their ZAT, meaning their own AHP and ZAT of ZON], then they became MAN [meaning a lack] to the Bina or the ten Sefirot of Aba ve Ima. [So first Aba ve Ima were in Katnut, smallness, now they feel that they have an obligation to take care of their kids in ZON] Then she [Bina] returns [with Hochma of Aba ve Ima] to being face-to-face and [influences the light of Hochma] and imparts to ZON, which are the ZAT of Nekudim that ascended to them, with the illumination of Hochma.

5. S. (13:40) In Nekudot to SAG there was the elevation of the Reshimot [the records] to SAG. Why do we need to raise MAN to ZON if there are records already?

R. No, there are records operating from above and here, are lacks that are activating the Partzufim from below, there's a big difference. The Partzuf that has lacks, it has desires, how can it awaken the upper one, by this it raises its desire to the upper and this is called raising MAN. Besides this there is the incantation of the Partzufim from above to below and that's a different matter entirely. That's an order so there will be an incantation from infinity down to our world from above below but in the work from below upwards the work of the lower ones that's what we're learning now and that can be only by the action called raising MAN. We need to remember that and think about that “raising MAN” that we’re raising the lack to the upper one and we're telling the upper one what we want, and the upper one scrutinizes. Thus, it is written, “we wished he would pray all day.” Pray, a request that you will have all day, all the time a request, a prayer to the Creator and even that you’re requesting incorrectly, not properly, not good and you're not justified. In any case, by all these things you will receive from above correction, such a correction that will straighten you out and you'll begin to request correctly and well. It's like with kids and that's how they learn.

S. Why do we call this the work from below upward if there's no created being yet and there's no shattering yet?

R. The lack comes from above? No, the lack comes from below from ZON from Aba ve Ima and that's why it's called such. The lack is the creature, the created being and he feels the lack and turns to the upper one which is the Creator, in this case it is Aba ve Ima.

S. Is there an additional deficiency beyond the deficiency that rose from Nekudot de SAG?

R. Of course, there's a lack of Partzufim themselves that are in smallness and they need to be in greatness, Gadlut, and so they raised MAN from their own part and not what incarnates to them from above.

S. Why is that not considered “raising MAN” when AVI of Galgalta Eynaim and AVI also received the Gadlut of Keter?

R. How can they do it if they're only half a degree, they have no vessels of reception?

S. ZON, too?

R. What in ZON?

S. In ZON, its bottom half is also not being used, its upper half?

R. That's what he won't activate unless he requests Aba ve Ima to connect him and give him the opportunity to work on the intention to bestow. You do not know, and you need to read these things, together, a few passages and it will be clear to you. It works quite simply.

Item 96 (18:00)

6. S.(20:25) Why can ZON receive the light of Hochma in the degree of Aba ve Ima not in their place?

R. Because the degree of Aba ve Ima they annul towards Aba ve Ima, they receive the force of bestowal from Aba ve Ima and while they're still in Aba ve Ima they receive the illumination from Hochma according to the will to receive in them and according to the desire to bestow in Aba ve Ima. Then they themselves cannot and they themselves, they're just vessels of reception.

S. How can Zon be in two places simultaneously?

R. There is no missing in spirituality. They can be both there and there. The lack passes from one place to another and the place is lacking from where it was, it’s not corporeal matters. It's like you're talking to somebody and then he passes that on to another person and more and more onwards. If they don't corrupt your message, it's not missing anyplace, it's everywhere.
