Part 2:
Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #143
Reading Item 143 (00:14) Twice
1. R. (04:23) Meaning that here we don't have the correction of the vessels in a complete way but only in a partial way. We correct what we need to gradually.
Reader continues: “Even AVI have only the first kind of completion…”
2. R. (04:56) Called GAR of Atzilut.
Reader continues: “Atik, AA, and AVI to their own Gufim and to ZON…”
3. R. (05:14) Meaning the light that shines, it shines in a very limited fashion and we're not really talking about the correction of the Kelim, of the vessels, but only the preparation for the gradual correction of them.
Reader continues: “The Mochin of the 6,000 years…”
4. R. (06:25) But in ascent, as they ascend to AVI.
Reader continues: “Thus, these Mochin reach the Gufim…”
5. S. (08:00) Why can we fix the vessels only when they ascend to the upper one and not in their own place?
R. We don't have the power to demand the correction of the vessels instead of them, all at once. Such a correction is not really related to us. The only thing we can do is raise MAN. We can ask for a correction in ascend and after we cause all the vessels to ascend, that there they will get the screens and fulfillments and surely these aren't the real screens and fulfillment because it's only in the ascent, during the ascent, being integrated with the upper. This is what we do throughout the six thousand years and afterwards we merit everything that we ascended with, our vessels, intentions, requests, prayers. Accordingly we merit, receive, the AHP of descent but this is already after all the vessels ascend and there's an incorporation between them and we achieve the correction in ascent; Meaning, not with the real Malchut but where the Malchut is integrated with the first nine. That is what we do.
Rav reads (10:00) At that time TNHY of ZON in BYA will connect to the degree of ZON of Atzilut, and Sium Raglin of Atzilut will equalize with Sium Raglin of AK. Then the Messiah King will appear. King, Melech, comes from the word Malchut. Messiah, Mashiach, means that it pulls all the vessels to Malchut from all the different places where they are dispersed in their ascent, pulls them to the Malchut, ties them together and gives them a light that corrects them and fulfills them. So this is what he says that it's clarified then, that during the six thousand years there's no correction to the worlds, except through ascent.
S. The upper degree that we’re relating to, that is the next degree of connection in the ten?
R. We relate only to the connection in the ten, always. It's not the next or in the future to come. It's now, it's the past, it's in the future, it's until the end of correction. Only in connection in the ten and only the ten grows more and more until all of humanity is included in the ten.
6. S. (11:58) I don't understand what a partial correction of the vessels means. What is the meaning of that term?
R. We can correct the Kelim by taking a part of them and adding them to the upper system and they act accordingly. They themselves, they don't have the ability to obtain the power, the forces, so they connect to a place where you can get forces, and they do, and correct themselves; Meaning, they have the ability to make the correct intentions in relation to the correction, but they don't have the strength by themselves to pull the lights that can perform the correction. It's like you take a child on your hands and when he's sitting on your hands, he's doing something, whatever, pulls something to himself, so there's the participation of your forces here with the forces of the lower. This is how these corrections are made during the six thousand years. Six thousand years, these aren’t years, these are six thousand degrees. Two thousand in the world of Assiya, two thousand in the world of Yetzira and two thousand in the world of Beria. All these degrees ascend to Atzilut from light to heavy and are included in Atzilut. Atzilut, as if lifts them on its hands because Atzilut comes from the word Etzlo, that it’s by him, that in him are all of these vessels of the upper. Then you have the first two thousand, that is Beria, then you have Yetzira, the GE ascends to the world of Atzilut, that is called the second two thousand, from the six thousand years, and then from the world of Assiya Kelim ascend to the world of Atzilut which is called the third two thousand. That is how all the vessels in ascent are corrected. That's what he tells us here. Afterwards already comes a state called Rav Paalim u-Mekabtziel, where appears a tremendous special upper light that is awoken by these ascents of the vessels to Atzilut then comes a light from above down and corrects these Kelim, in their place below the Parsa, below Atzilut and that's called the end of correction.
S. So if I understood you correctly, if I perform corrections where I live and I come to Petah Tikva to the main group it's a partial correction?
R. No it is unrelated to where you are, and it won't help you to come to Petah Tikva. The only thing that will help you is to want to incorporate with the friends, but not necessarily in Petah Tikva, but all over the world. That you will feel you are the smallest of them all and that you want to incorporate in them and when you will ask to incorporate with them then the Creator will shine over this incorporation of yourself in others, and thus you will correct yourself.
S. Another ten years?
R. Another ten years, so what? you're still young. It's working. Gradually, gradually, but it's working. It depends on how much you ask, how much you attend the lessons, how much you aspire for corrections, how much you scrutinize. It all depends on the quantity and quality of time.
7. S. (17:23) He writes that they have to be above the place of GAR and cloth them for the future in Gmar Tikkun. What does it mean? It's preparing itself for Gmar Tikkun here?
R. We are preparing ourselves all the time for the end of correction, that we will be able to fill ourselves with the upper light in order to bestow and by that we will rise to the degree of the Creator.
8. S. (18:03) I understand, according to what is written here, that in the six thousand years the lower ones just need to scrutinize the vessels. What does it mean to scrutinize on our behalf? Because we always hear that we have to ask for connection and connection, where's the scrutiny?
R. AHP of ascent. This is what we correct. All of the vessels are corrected but not in their real will to receive but only in the ascent of the will to receive and its incorporation in the other; Therefore, there is the example where you take the child in your hands and while he is in your hands, he can do different things. In general, hands mean all the corrections, all the work that the little one does, he does it thanks to the upper providing him with everything, with the lights, with the strength, with everything that's called the work in six thousand years. The work in the seventh millennia, this is work that we don't know what that is.
S. I’m trying to understand emotionally the word scrutiny. Let's say a child in his parents’ hands, he asks for specific things, he wants this and this and this. We always hear, I hear, that we are asking for connection. So I'm asking if there are specific things that we have to ask for?
R. We will approach the correction in practice and then we'll see what we can do.
9. S. (20:00) He writes: “the dot of Shuruk”, since then AVI raises their own AHP, to which the GE of ZAT is attached, as well. So I wanted to ask, is it a must that the GE of ZAT will be attached to them so they can raise them, or is it the contrary that AVI wants to raise the AHP, and they pull them together?
R. AVI does not want anything but the lower needs to awaken them in order for them to elevate him. That's how it works.
S. That is the raising MAN he talks about?
R. Yes.
10. S. (20:50) When he speaks about the correction of the worlds, what worlds is he talking about?
R. Beria, Yetzira, Assiya.
S. Adam that corrects them?
R. He’s in these worlds Beria, Yetzira and Assiya.
S. Does it mean the world of Nekudim?
R. There is no more the world of Nekudim, it broke. No world of Nekudim anymore. It broke and the worlds of Beria, Yetzira and Assiya are comprised from what remained from it. These are the worlds that need to be corrected and raised from below the Parsa to above the Parsa and include them in the world of Atzilut. This is the work in the six thousand years and afterwards there will come the seventh Millenia, where comes the great coupling, the upper light, which fills all the lights that are below the Tabur of Galgalta. These lights descend from above the Tabur of Galgalta to below the Tabur of Galgalta. Passing through the Kelim of Beria, Yetzira, Assiya that are already above the Parsa, fill them, to finish the final correction in AHP of ascent and descend below the Parsa too. Then comes the general correction, the end of creation. Creation comes from the word Bar, meaning outside of the degree. Everything that exists beneath the Tabur of Galgalta turns into light.
11. S. (22:54) What is the Raglin, and what is it in the ten?
R. Raglin means legs. It's the end, it’s the final Malchut, it's the last one. Like it is written, and her feet stand on Mount Olives. It's the end of spirituality. They think it's in Jerusalem somewhere, on the mountain in Jerusalem. There's a golden dome, so they think that's the place where the upper worlds, the spiritual ones, and this world, the corporeal world is. Obviously, it’s a story that has nothing true about it but that's what people think. It comes from the structure of the world of Atzilut, when it's in Katnut, in smallness, it stands on the Parsa between Atzilut and BYA and in Gadlut it raises its AHP from the worlds of BYA to Atzilut and in Gmar Tikkun, after it raises all of the AHP of Aliya for itself, there will be AHP of descending and then the world of Atzilut will go from Tabur of Galgalta to the Sium of Galgalta.
12. S. (24:56) Did I correctly understand that the ascent of the Kelim from the worlds of BYA are above the Parsa?
R. First of all above the Parsa the vessels from Olam, Beria then Yetzira then Assiya rise. The correction is always from the easier to the heavier. That's why we are in states, in times, where the corrections are difficult. That's why we have to reach these corrections, we have to be many people and go through many mutual states. That's how we'll correct everything.
S. The world of Beria, it ascends and also the vessels of reception before the vessels of bestowal of?
R. No. Each and every world ascends in gradual degrees. First Beria then Yetzira then Assiya.
13. S. (26:16) It's written in the heading to these last few items. “It is a great rule concerning the permanent Mochin and the ascents of the Partzufim and the worlds during the six thousand years. What is that rule that he wanted to explain to us in these last items?
R. That all in all we are in the constant Mochin which is Katnut, smallness, and according to ascending of the vessels from BYA to Atzilut we are rewarded with the AHP, the addition of Neshama, Haya, Yechida of ascending. We have GE, which is the world of Atzilut, the world of Beria joins it, so then in Atzilut we have the light of Neshama. Then the world of Atzilut is joined by the world of Yetzira so then in Atzilut is the light of Haya and when it joins the vessels of the world of Assiya then there's the light of Yechida. Also these lights are only the lights of ascending, afterwards there's a special correction called Rav Paalim u-Mekabtziel. Where all the vessels that ascended to the world of Atzilut from BYA, they connect there, and they descend to their place below Parsa and then there's a general Gmar Tikkun. That's when the lights expand till the general Sium. That’s called and his feet stood on the mount of olives.
S. What from that already happened and what did not happen yet? All these corrections did they already occur or not yet?
R. I don't know what happened and what did not happen, but for you to understand more usually we say that everything happened except the final stages of the general corrections before Gmar Tikkun. You can't explain this to a person who does not feel spiritual states, feel spiritual times, you cannot but still you need to say something.
14. S. (29:02) What does it mean that the ten grows more and more until all of humanity becomes included in it? How can all of humanity become included in the ten?
R. All of creation is ten Sefirot which are whole. That is why towards the end of correction everybody goes in and connects to individual ten Sefirot and then individual ten Sefirot and individual ten Sefirot until they all connect into the whole ten Sefirot. That’s it.
15. S. (29:48) What is the difference between the vessels of the first kind and the vessels of the second kind in item 143?
R. It is the difference in Mochin before Gmar Tikkun and after the correction, the complete correction, which is it. It depends on the ascent or the descent. Those are the corrections. AHP of Aliya, AHP of ascending, or AHP of descending.
S. The Mochin, what is that?
R. Mochin are the great lights, the light of Hochma that fills the vessels, the corrected vessels that are going through the ascent throughout the six thousand years and in the end of the six thousand years they descend to their place and then there is the AHP of descending.
16. S. (31:02) How to bring the correct prayer out of the gap between our current situation, the gap between us, and the end of correction? It is an unbearable pain that pushes me, pushes me out. How don't you run away? Because day after day I run away specifically from that.
R. We need to ask. Everything depends on the prayer, so we need to ask until our request will receive a response.
