PART 2
Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Histaklut Pnimit. Chapter 2. #3 (The difference between the Eser Sefirot called KHB TM .. )
37. R. We will continue these parts they are very important as the foundation to the whole of the wisdom of Kabbalah and it is also important for us to remain on the same intentions that we are together and together we want to discover the upper system wanting to be in bestowal and know that we are learning we received through the study the reforming light that bestows upon us and leads us slowly to the qualities of bestowal and connection which we will discover what we are learning in practice.
Item “The difference between the Eser Sefirot….” (01:02 - 02:10)
37. R. Meaning through the second restriction from the five forces that we had in the Partzuf Keter, Hochma, Bina, ZA, Malchut what remains is only KHB for the vessels and in the Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama for the lights and in the vessels of Zeir Anpin and Malchut, disappear as there is no longer a screen upon them and the lights of Haya, Yechida dissipated because of them and that state is called Katnut, smallness or the second restriction.
Item E “Explains Eser Sefirot of equal….” (02:47 - 04:13)
Item 2 “The reason for it is that wherever it is said….” (04:14 - 07:08)
38. S. What determines the level of the coupling?
R. The screen and where it is working, at what height of the will to receive it is at and accordingly there is a level of the Zivug, the coupling, the equivalence of form between the desire to bestow of the Upper and the desire to respond to it and be in equivalence of form within the lower one, on behalf of the lower one, this defines the level of the coupling, the place of the coupling and accordingly the level.
39. S. (08:02) What is the Sefirot in length and thickness?
R. That comes from incorporation we have Sefirot in length from above down and out of each Sefirot being incorporated with all of the Sefirot we always have Sefirot in thickness, in a way that we have say ten Sefirot of direct light we have ten Sefirot of reflected light and in the incorporation between them we have ten Sefirot in each and every attribute. As individual Sefirot, this is called Sefirot in thickness.
Item 3 “This afore mentioned Hitkalelut happened by the force….” (08:45 - 11:27)
40. S. When I carry out a restriction on the general desire I received from the 10...
R. Yes.
S. What occurs after the restriction, what is the Zivug with the general desire?
R. That is still early. How can you take the desires of the other if you're not at Incorporated with them, you need to actually integrate with them practically and then you perform a restriction upon your personal desire and receive their desires as the most important desires more than yours. Then you work on their desires in order to fill them. On your behalf it turns out that this is an act of bestowal and to the extent in which you want to bestow to friends in this way, you become for them as the Keter that feels them and become a partner to the Creator, wanting to fill them. Just that you were bothering prior to that with the Creator filling them and now you are assisting in the way that the Creator will be able to through you fill them. So, to the extent which you are integrated with the desires of the friends and want to fill them you come to being a partner with the Creator.
S. What is in order here depicted of the opposite relations between light and vessels?
R. The lights from Keter to Malchut and the Ohr Hozer as the general Ohr Hozer from Malchut to Keter then they complete one another it turns out that each Sefirot how much it has from Ohr Yashar and how much it has of Ohr Hozer is always Eser Sefirot.
41. S. (13:49) How can Eser Sefirot of Ohr Yashar clothes in Ohr Hozer if ZA is missing there?
R. We will learn about that. it's not correct, we always have Sefirot of Ohr Hozer that they grasp the Upper light and they can't really reveal more than this, this is how it is you will see you soon.
44. S. (14:26) What does it mean that the Sefirot of Ohr Yashar are connecting with Sefirot of Ohr Hozer?
R. They clothe in them, the reflected light is a reaction that comes, the coarseness and also in reflected light and then you can reveal the direct light.
S. He writes that they complement or complete one another?
R. They complete one another, as much as we receive from the Ohr Yashar we can add upon this from themselves reflected light to complete one another as Eser and every attribute you also have the private ten attributes of its own.
45. S. (15:21) We say that Malchut is as the Keter when it comes to the reflected light. He writes here that if the Zivug, coupling would be on the Masach, screen of the Behina Dalet the fourth discernment it would become HBDNHY, so here it's not inverting the order?
R. No listen, every state you always have 10 Sefirot not more and not less, rather if you compare a face that already has a used of all of its aspects of the Bechina Dalet, fourth discernment or one that already has up to the third discernment then there is a difference between them but in each and every Partzuf you always have direct light and reflected light that are equal to one another.
46 S. (16:23) Is Malchut lacking in direct light?
R. Yes.
S. Malchut is actually with a screen completing the direct light?
R. Malchut completes all of the Sefirot in the Masach of direct light.
S. Why do they say there's 10 Sefirot of Ohr Yashar?
R. Because that's how we say it Malchut also has a part that receives that it feels that it receives from the Sefirot that are higher than it and react to them and she has her Ohr Yashar not that she receives it directly for herself rather she makes a restriction upon herself and reacts in the reflected light.
S. Can you say the 10 Sefirot of Ohr Yashar and the 10 Sefirot of Ohr Hozer create one 10 Sefirot?
R. Yes that is one package.
47. S. (17:33) If the Zivug, coupling was on the Masach, screen of the Behina Dalet, fourth discernment they would come out and become the Sefirot of Ohr Hozer, what is the essence of this?
R. Reflected light means the intention of the creature to bestow good to the Creator as the guests to the host, this is called reflected light that he is doing this, restricts his desire and from his desire he turns it to an intention in order to bestow that the creatures shall have this but receiving on the intention to bestow. That's even after that in the will to receive he wants it in the will to bestow by restriction, screen and reflected light in Malchut but that is in Malchut, that Malchut feels it in all of the first nine because in each of them has its own private Malchut. Let's say the Malchut that is in each and every Sefirot and feels what he receives from the host and then ultimately he was builds itself that he is operating towards the host.
S. Can this be depicted in a simpler way to understand, if in a 10 what does it mean to raise reflected light?
R. Ohr Hozer, reflected light, means everything the host gives you through the 10, the Creator gives you through the 10 you want to return to him but you can't really return to him as he has no vessels, no ability to enjoy so you can only do this through the 10. So, let's put it like this, just like you have a mother with her children, a child wants to return something to her but she doesn't need anything, yet to the mother you turn like the attitude from the kids and she feels that because she loves them and is in them and so if you also bestow to her children that is your bestowal to her.
S. Meaning you spoke about the mother that nullifies herself towards her children, it is like me in my ten, annulling myself towards the ten and that makes reflected light?
R. If you nullify yourself before the entire 10 you are nullifying before the Creator.
S. That's the Creator?
R. So all of our work must be in the 10, it is not a game or condition, it is the action, the correct realization of our actions with the Creator.
S. Different powers of forces and strengths of reflected light?
R. According to what level of coarseness you are working with.
S. What does that mean, coarseness that I'm working with?
R. Against your ego, what are you over coming to bestow to the friends.
S. They're not equal each on their own?
R. That is correct but actually you are nullifying yourself what you receive from each and every one of them at least to that you want to nullify yourself and bestow to them, you want to feel them as much as you can.
S. Together we're like the whole we each complete each other?
R. Yes each completes the other and you become a corrected 10 already can you reveal the Creator within you.
48. S. (21:36) He writes here that every Sefirah on its own meaning in each Sefirot it is also divided into ten Sefirot and that means in each of them there is also Malchut?
R. Yes and so on, but don't get into this it is the same laws like he wrote you have in each and every Sefirot private attribute repeated onto Ein Sof.
49. S. (22:13) Where is the clothing of the reflected light in the direct light taking place in the screen or above it?
R. Hard to say because it happens in the entire Partzuf itself you have the will to receive and the will to bestow by the way of the screen, the restriction and the coupling of striking it all happens in the relations, as we can say, between the host and the guest. That these relations clothe one upon the other and this clothing, in this you have all of the different forms of relations between them, different harmonics, different forms, different waves, waves also within waves with all the different points of connection there. Between them you can't even describe this when it is felt you feel it but to express it in language you will have to fill a thousand books and that won't have any use.
Item 4 “When they Eser Sefirot de Ohr Hozer join….” (23:42 - 25:32)
Item 5 “It turns out that Malchut de Ohr Hozer acquired….” (25:33 - 27:20)
50. R. We usually talk about, let us make a drawing here, we have Sefirot of Ohr Yashar, direct light that extends from above to below KHBZAM, I won't draw the 10 Sefirot here and along with this we have here ten Sefirot of Ohr Hozer that are added to them like this and it turns out that in each and every Sefirah we have 10 Sefirot of direct light and 10 Sefirot of returning light. although here we have direct light and here is the Ohr Hozer, reflected light, direct light, reflected light in each and every one. Okay?
51. S. (29:21) What he writes here this structure in which one Sefirot of reflected light attains the direct light who attains it is the general Malchut?
R. Yes, we're talking about the general vessel that makes a restriction screen and reflected light feeling how much the Creator is giving to him and he returns to the Creator and this is what he attains meaning he attains it in what relation that he and the upper Force are in one to the other.
S. I meant if this is the Malchut which is rising in the degree?
R. Yes, this is the influence of Malchut upon the Keter I hope that is clear because we have both of them here that are working the upper and the lower and how they are working and operating and completing one another. That is what this image depicts.
52. S. (30:44) Is the intention always towards the upper nine without letting it go to be a continuation to this?
R. Yes of course.
53. S. (31:04) How to feel the action of the lights inside of us?
R. iI you are in forces of bestowal you stabilize and form these in yourself then you will feel it, but first there must be a restriction upon your desires and the act of bestowal from below to above in general meaning that you are Chafetz Chesed, nothing for yourself only to bestowed through the group to the Creator, build such a system. In it you will discover everything, ultimately there is nothing more than these 10 Sefirot, meaning in the 10 you will discover the whole world. All of your relations with the upper, all of the world, all of the souls, everything you will discover in this. Only one little thing has to be done to let go of that corporeal ego of yours.
54. S. (32:26) Help me to understand with what desires of the friends do I need to work and what to ask from the Creator what kind of filling, the greatness of the bestowal?
R. You need to read about this in Rabash’s Social Articles, the articles about the group. I can't give you an answer in one sentence when you read the articles you are constantly formatting yourself, forming yourself, stabilizing more and more correctly towards the 10 and through it to the Creator. I can't express it in one sentence.
55. S. (33:15) If the direct light is the pleasure from the Creator and the reflected light is the response the attitude towards the Creator does that mean that Malchut receives the least amount and relates to the Creator in the best way?
R. You're talking about the aspects in the vessel?
S. I'm talking about the drawing.
R. yes
S. There is a certain complete complement of Malchut where she is complimenting the example of the host and the guests?
R. No, faith above reason is before even we do this action here, here it is explained to us according to the coarseness and each and every Sefirah and how it operates the Sefirah in the direction of the direct light with the returning light. The greater the desire upon it has a greater restriction and a greater reflected light and the greater completion towards the general upper light. Although these Sefirot are from Keter they receive less than direct light, but the action in the restriction, screen and reflected light is greater in reflected light so they complete one another. Their creature corrects its nature in its attitude that returns to the Creator, there are many such things here that we haven't spoken yet about.
S. What's not understood is the essence of the complement.
R. What cannot be received in direct light you receive in returning light they complete one another but ultimately in this completing one another they receive everything because all of these 10 Sefirot are included in one Malchut. There is a Malchut of each and every aspect of its own and all of these Malchut are connected together in the general Malchut this is how it is in each Sefirot, all the Keter, All the Hochma, all the Bina, they are all mixed together afterwards in the Partzuf although each and every aspect results from a different one, from a different nature in each Sefirot. We will advance and reveal this more, there are no words yet. Good luck.
Item 6 “It is considered that the Hitkalelut in which each….” (36:50 - 38:45)
56. R. It is actually not so complicated the 10 Sefirot in length and in thickness accordingly we have the proper Zivug de Hakaa, coupling of striking but this happens in such a way it is a package that is revealed on a certain coarseness each time that is why it's written 10 and not 9 and 10 and not 11 as you can't have Malchut without the Keter or Keter without the Malchut because they're connected their beginning and end together in such a way that we always have in every revelation we have 10 Sefirot it just depends upon which intensity. The intensity defines the manner of the revelation. Altogether it is not so difficult; it is the will to receive with a certain level of coarseness and how it is relative to the Upper light that is being revealed.
Chapter 4 Item A “Explain the Eser Sefirot that emerge….” (40:04 - 40:44 )
Item 1 “Five levels of Eser Sefirot come from the….” (40:44 - 43:14)
Item 3 and 4 “Most of these five levels that emerged because of….” (43:15 - 45:40)
57. R. This is what we actually have to do and the wisdom of Kabbalah there are 10 Sefirot all together but they work and all kinds of variations between them which we will have to learn. We have a certain complexity that happens in the Partzuf, Rosh, Toch, Sof, different stages that will probably be tomorrow.
58. S. (46:20) The direct light Sefirot complement the reflected light Sefirot the feeling of….
R. We receive them as being clothed one in the other this is how we receive it as these Sefirot clothes in the other ones all together you receive a general impression. You cannot receive ten Sefirot of direct light without clothing them of ten Sefirot of reflected light moreover you don't know if before you there are ten Sefirot of direct light if you don't put forth a restriction a screen and the reflected light and then in the reflected light you discover that there is something ahead of you. Now do you see direct light ahead of you?
S. That is the actual question, is it possible to differentiate the Sefirot?
R. You have reflected light and according to the intensity and the manners in it, accordingly you discover the direct light and no other way, if you don't have reflected light then there is no direct light. You're in the darkness, all of our work is how we stabilize the reflected light, we need to establish in the reflected light and that's all in our work and our general efforts in the group.
59. S. (48:10) We depict the structures of the 10 Sefirot. How do we do this of the 10 Sefirot in the 10?
R. In the ten is simple, the Creator is concealed in the 10. The Kabbalists tell us to start with and we just need to establish the reflected light from us to discover that it is between us. Only between us is he revealed, so let us do this. For this we need to connect and to complete one another to feel that we are truly in one desire and one vessel, there is one Creator before us and let us relate to one another to the extent that we will establish what is happening between us to bring him contentment. You will see accordingly the Sefirot of direct light will be revealed before you to the extent in which you operate the reflected light you discover the direct light.
S. How are the reflected light revealed in the 10?
R. Mutually by wanting to complete them and bring them all these Sefirot to do it in such a way where we will find the 10 Sefirot with the intensity of the connection each will add from his and accordingly we create these conditions of the reflected light. In this the Creator is revealed, in the form of direct light in his bestowal towards us. Direct light is the appearance of the Creator in our Kli but it cannot be revealed if we do not stabilize first the reflected light, meaning the Tzimtzum and Masach, restriction and the screen then above the screen above the we can see how much we can bestow to one another, one towards the other and if we are bestowing to one another we are preparing ourselves to bestow towards the Creator otherwise we will grab the Creator before our vessel is ready?
S. What are the preceding conditions to bring the reflected light into the 10?
R. What we are learning each day in the morning, subjugation, annulment where each wants to complete the friends, annul themselves each thing is what helps us to be in this, to come to this to all together make a Partzuf, this is possible after this connection in the 10, a willingness to connect, a willingness to bestow through all of the friends towards the common force between us which is the Creator.
S. First connection and then we will start the work with the reflected light?
R. How can it be without connection? I don't understand how you're even asking that, if there's no connection in the 10 we can't bestow. One cannot, only if we all do it and only if we are all ready to complete everyone, then this is how we come to this. Meaning just the effort in the 10 there is nothing here to do other than that. That is why our work is ahead of us, we need to understand that there is no choice here as much as we repulsed things and reject, detain and delay we have to connect.
S. The reflected light in the 10 raises, is this also towards one towards the friends or already a common action from the friends to the Creator?
R. Reflected light is an action between us in the 10 where each one wants to complete the other to the whole mechanism willing to give from his forces to give for connection inside the 10 and then out of wanting to connect all of us to everyone we can establish our attitude towards the Creator. Prior to me connecting with everyone I cannot aim myself to the Creator before each of us connects to everyone, we cannot stabilize our common relation to the Creator and from that common attitude towards the Creator we begin to establish reflected light and according to that intensity between us we start to discover the direct light or the Creator which is revealed between us.
