Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Part 2. Chapter 8. Histaklut Pnimit #104 ("We have explained above about the Hitkalelut of the Sefirot ..")

Reader Item 104 “All the Sefirot of Ohr Hozer that ....”(00:01 - 02:21)

Reader Item 105 “When Ohr Hozer de Yesod travels through Malchut....”(02:22 - 04:07)

47. S. (04:09) What he describes here is that, a description of the work from above downward, what does it mean by integration of the attributes how is this happening?

R. What we don't attain, we don't know and I can't explain it to you, attainment. If we work on the will to receive, to resemble it to the order to bestow, that we receive from above downward, gradually we will also come to attain the whole process, how the giver gives us, how the upper one gives to us.

48. S. (05:06) Why or how does he explain the reflected light at the Keter receives, the Malchut has ten lights, 10 Sefirot of reflected light and it starts descending, how can it be, the light has to expand on everything why is there such a division?

R. Because the light bestows through all of the Sefirot and in each Sefira, attribute, it has particular and specific Zivug d’Hakaa, coupling of striking, and we can't explain it because if you do, you get a thousand volumes of the study of TES so the light that comes down from Keter to Chochma and from Chochma to Bina what does it mean it goes down and that it descends.  It does the couplings of striking, it builds Partzufim and it builds degrees and in those sub degrees it builds it. Do you think it's something like it goes through it like a substance, it is a desire, so every desire it has to absorb and adjust itself to it, connect to it through the striking and pass it on have the Rosh Toch Sof to pass on so even a transition from one attribute to another there is no transition, but only through a Partzuf that each and every Sefira builds in order to connect to the attribute below it.

S. The first time I heard that on every tribute there is a Zivug deHakaa?

R. Yes that too, otherwise how can the light pass from one state to another from one desire to another, it is giving you the general scheme but inside you have to know and we have learned that each Sefira divides into Sefirot and each Sefira into more Sefirot, infinitely.

S. So it keeps going down through couplings?

R. Partzufim, Partzufim, Partzufim

49. S. (07:26) Can I see it like the candle lights the candle that Malchut gives it to Yesod and in Yesod there is light not damaged?

R. Of course, it is not harmed. How can it be when I give, I grow less, by giving I acquire even more of a vessel by giving because then I am included with the one that I am giving too and I have to develop that same will to receive that is in you and fill it in me and then give it to him. So, through each act of giving by this I grow. Because I can't give to another if I'm not included in his desire and I first of all do a coupling of striking on me in preparations and lights and prepare everything and then I hand it over to him, so I am already included by giving to him. This is why he who is greater than his friend his desire is greater than him and this is how we all grow. Everyone through everyone else, precisely by giving, we grow.

S. So it happens in every attribute from Yesod to Hod?

R. The same thing yes, it is the same thing in each and every giving matter in which direction, the giver grows.

50. S. (09:14) So we're speaking about ten lights, we know ten attributes and five lights NRNHY so what are the ten lights?

R. We don't have more NRNHY but Zeir Anpin, we regard as one Sefira, one light.

51. S. (09:47) Why does he say that the same light goes from Malchut, why is that detail there?

R. What do you mean, it is Ohr Hozer that goes up from Malchut to Yesod that is how it works, the reflected light goes back up, Malchut of Ohr Yashar becomes the Keter of reflected light.

52. S. (10:30) We are speaking about reflected light so a person who is already in attainment, that is the quality? So, a person in attainment reads TES and studies, how he is supposed to work or is he already in attainment and he understands from the attainment how he should work and perform with the Masachim and so on?

R. A person who is in attainment understands what he has to do on one hand, on the other hand precisely then he learns the study of TES even more because the study of TES becomes to him like a practical user’s guide.

53. S. (11:28) The reflected light that the created being rises, he raises the ZAT of the Igulim?

R. No, everything is done in the straightness only from the straightness from GAR, the first three of the straightness, are the circles filled. There is no other connection between the straightness and the circles, that also is because there are three attributes in the straight line that are in wholeness they come from above downward so the more the lower one can fill the three attributes of the Yosher, from them the Igulim are filled. We will learn it, for now they are things that we don't use.

54. S. (12:44) It is written that Malchut doesn't have lights but the reflected light is received from Malchut of Ein Sof so this means that no lights, she only passes the light and didn't leave anything for herself, what does it mean she has no light?

R. There is no direct light in Malchut but only Ohr Hozer.

55. S. (13:16) You said that we can't understand the middle line in our brain but here you mentioned the Zivug dHakaa, coupling of striking, that you can explain what it means in the ten?

R. He explained it to you with an example of the guest and the host, go there and read.

S. How do you do it in the ten, the Zivug deHakaa?

R. From there you will learn.

S. From where?

R. From the story of the guest and the host.

S. You can understand it from there?

R. If you don't understand even this, I can't explain anything.

Reader Item 106 “By Hitkalelut of Ohr Hozer in passing,....” (14:00 - 15:17)

Reader Item 107 “Hochma has eight Sefirot of Ohr Yashar - Hochma, Bina....”(15:18 - 16:43)

56. S. The reflected light is the same light just as direct light, completely different perceptions of these lights, is it the same light?

R. They can't be the same light, you can't have the same relation because the Creator’s relation to the created being, his direct light and the relation of the created being to the host, to the Creator is the reflected light these are two forms of relation, of bestowal, bestowal is light and they are completely different.

Reader Item 108 “Hesed has six of Ohr Yashar and four of Ohr Hozer;....”(17:33 - 19:28)

57. R. You can go to the archive and see tons of diagrams there about those triangles, how there is direct light and reflected light, bestowal from above downward and bestowal from below upward and you have reflected light in every single Sefira and there is always ten in every single Sefira but what part is of direct light and which part is reflected light depends upon the Sefira itself and where it is, how much it receives from above downward and how much it passes to the Sefirot after it, either below it or before it.

58. S. (20:15) What should I take from studying TES? 

R. You should be inspired because you are learning about spiritual vessels that are in you and everyone, how they are operated by the upper light and that you are in contact through this learning with the upper force. That is it, this is enough for you to know that you are in contact with the Creator by even listening to TES even if you don't understand it. Baal HaSulam had students who didn't even speak Hebrew, he said let them sit, they will know and they did know afterwards. Not through the language but because they wanted to know very strongly, what is important is the desire. If by knowing Hebrew you are learning through the language this is one thing, but if you sat and didn't know the language, by just yearning to understand what it is about, what is going on here, if you really yearn for it not knowing the language you could be receiving more because everything depends upon the deficiency.

59. S. (22:01) The straightness is the attitude between the circles and the created being, what is the triangle?

R. We haven't learned it, we have tons of diagrams, with squares and all kinds of things, we haven't learned that yet, don't ask what we haven't learned about yet.

60. S. (22:39) Why is Baal HaSulam speaking about NRNHY like the Ohr Yashar and the Ohr Hozer he writes as Malchut of Yesod?

R. I don't understand, Malchut of Yesod is because we learned about how many lights we have of direct light and how many lights we have in the reflected light and in which Sefira it splits, and each attribute you have lights of direct light and lights of reflected light, it depends where they Sefira is.

61. S. (23:29) Who performs the Zivug, coupling in the attributes, the Malchut or the Sefirot themselves?

R. Malchut in every Sefira performs the Zivug d’Hakaa, coupling of striking.

S. What part of the Sefirot does it take from the Partzufim that the Malchut builds with them?

R. Qualities that Malchut uses from the Sefirot are included in Malchut who uses them and does the Zivug deHakaa on them.

62. S. (24:12) Isn't the Ohr Pnimi, Inner Light included in Malchut?

R. Malchut remains empty, Malchut remains empty, she has only the reflected light, we will learn about it. I think we also read the day before yesterday or maybe yesterday.

63. S. (24:52) In regards to Item 104 when the reflected light goes through from Yesod through the Malchut it brings the root there what route is he speaking about?

R. The light that was in the desire, fashions the desire and the desire remains the way the light fashioned it. This is why in spirituality all of the previous states, even billions and billions of states, they all remain and complete the general spiritual vessel until it is complete and round. This is why all of the lights enter and build more and more Partzufim and also what we are doing now builds more Partzufim, endlessly, infinitely. In the merging and the mingling of the Sefirot, later Malchut of Ein Sof is established and the whole vessel of the complete soul is his how it happens, there is no absence in spirituality.

64. S. (26:27) It says that every Sefirot includes another 10 Sefirot does it mean that every Sefirot has Aviut, Masach and Ohr Hozer?

R. Of course, if Malchut works with this Sefira and it adds to the Sefira a desire according to the Sefira, in order to illuminate what is in the Sefira from the Ohr Yashar and the same in the Ohr Hozer. Then the Malchut adds to the Sefira coarseness and Ohr Hozer in the Sefirot becomes sapphire, it begins to illuminate, to shine.

Reader Item 109 “Netzah has three of Ohr Yashar and seven of Ohr Hozer...”(27:18 - 29:29)

65. S. We say about Malchut that has 10 attributes she is most bestowing?

R. Malchut is the only one that bestows in each and every Sefira, when Malchut is included in each Sefira and becomes a giver in the same manner of that Sefira, but Malchut is the giver the power that gives the Sefira gives Malchut a certain characteristic. How it can bestow.

S. So ten Sefirot of Ohr Hozer, is she bestowing in all ten ways of every Sefira?

R. Again?

S. He wrote that she has ten Sefirot of reflected light in the Malchut.

R. Yes.

S. That means he has 10 forms of bestowal?

R. She gives to the 10 Sefirot of Ohr Hozer to Keter that's why she's included in all of the attributes, yes.

66. S. (30:47) What is the correct way to learn while learning TES, you say not to learn with the intellect so in what way are we learning with?

R. Precisely because we are learning the study of TES and there is a lot of intellect here and we are trying to understand it better not to understand what is written as it is not the smart one who learns, but rather we want to realize it in our desires, do understand in our desires, the heart understands. To understand in my desires how I can function, give back to the Creator through the friends, how I do this with my desires, with your desires, how we become included, how when I speak of the Sefirot of the direct light, reflected light. Let's say we're in a ten where is this direct light, where is the reflected light, how do I give to all of the friends, I'm included with them and give to the Creator. How does the Creator give to me the inclusion in the friends until it comes to me and I make it myself at one time Malchut in another time Keter and so on. This is what we have to think about. With our intellect, if we learn it this way then the maximum is that we will understand an order, how many of direct light and how many of reflected light but it is superficial, it won't give us anything. Clear right?

67. S. (32:43) It turns out the more or the lower the direct light goes there's more reflected light because wherever Malchut goes there's more reflected light, so the upper ones have everything in the lower ones don't? 

R. All of the Sefirot received, each Sefira receives what it needs, what is coming to it according to how it can participate with the rest of the Sefirot. Each Sefira according to its Aviut according to its fineness according to its inclusion in Malchut and all the other Sefirot, nothing here comes at the expense of another. There is no such thing in spirituality.

68. S. (33:36) The Keter received nine Sefirot of Ohr Yashar and one Sefira of Ohr Hozer?

R. Yes.

S. So it seems that the Malchut has to receive 9 of reflected light but Yesod receives it?

R. Have it this way for now it doesn't matter, you will see later, you're right there is a question here, everyone asks about it.

69. S. (34:20) What does it mean that Malchut adds coarseness to a Sefira? 

R. Malchut in her desire connects to the Sefira where the light shines and then she wants with the light that shines with her desire to give back to the host, to the Creator.

70. S. (34:52) If you look at every Sefira there is like a mixture between direct and reflected light but only Malchut has all ten lights and the rest there is always a bit of this and a bit of that but not all of the ten, what does this mean?

R. There are, in each and every one, in each and every Sefira you have.

S. 10 Sefirot

R. You have ten Sefirot.

S. There is a mixture but not the whole ten.

R. Why?

S. Tiferet, Netzach, Hod Yesod of direct light and Gevura, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchut of reflected light, they don’t have all ten, only Malchut has all ten.....

R. Soon we will read and you will see how he summarizes it and you will have exactly ten Sefirot in each Sefira, the difference is is how each Sefira divides the whole into a part of reflected light and part of direct light, because it is not Sefirot it is Malchut that is included in all the Sefirot and this is how she operates. The only one that operates his Malchut, the rest of the Sefirot don't operate, they only bring a manner of bestowal, HGTNHY, a manner of bestowal but Malchut is always the only one that operates.
