Part
2:
Baal
HaSulam.
Preface
to
the
Wisdom
of
Kabbalah.
#2
Reading item number 2 “As we have said the Will to Receive..”
1.
S.
(03:12)
What
does
it
mean
in
the
first
paragraph,
“departing
from
Him,
departing
from
the
Creator”
what
happened
there?
R.
The
will
to
receive
is
also
a
result
of
the
Creator
but
either
it's
connected
to
it
to
the
extent
that
it's
connected
to
the
quality
of
bestowal
of
the
Creator
or
he
is
disconnected
from
Him,
torn
from
Him
and
no
longer
belongs
to
his
upper
root,
that's
the
whole
thing.
2.
S.
(04:11)
In
our
world
where
are
we
in
relation
to
the
form
of
the
will
to
receive?
R.
In
our
world
we
are
according
to
our
form
in
the
will
to
receive
or
you
can
say
that
the
other
way
around
according
to
the
will
to
receive
in
us,
we
are
in
a
degree
called
this
world.
S.
This
world
is
called
completely
opposite
to
the
Creator?
R.
Yes
that's
right,
we
are
completely
opposite
of
the
Creator
because
his
desire
is
the
desire
to
bestow
to
give
and
He
has
no
thought
of
Himself
whereas
we
only
want
to
think
about
ourselves
and
do
something
only
for
ourselves
and
we
have
no
thought
about
someone
else
outside
of
us.
3.
S.
(05:28)
It's
written
at
the
end
of
the
excerpt
that
until
the
will
to
the
receive
fully
materializes
he's
not
receiving
any
expression,
what
does
he
mean
that
the
will
to
receive
needs
to
materialize
in
this
world?
R.
That
it
is
revealed
to
the
ones
who
live
in
this
world
as
the
pure
will
to
receive,
only
will
to
receive
without
any
addition
of
the
will
to
bestow.
S.
That's
considered
coming
into
expression?
R.
Then
it
is
considered
to
be
of
this
world?
S.
When
the
vessel
rises
to
higher
worlds
what
form
does
it
then
acquire,
what
difference
does
it
have
between
the
desire
that
materializes
in
the
world
of
Assiya?
R.
There
the
will
to
receive
as
mingled
with
the
desires
with
the
intentions
in
order
to
bestow
and
to
the
extent
that
it's
mingled
with
this
desire
to
bestow
with
the
intention
to
bestow,
that
basically
determines
its
degree
how
high
it
is
above
this
world.
4.
S.
(07:04)
According
to
the
excerpt
that
light
and
vessel
cascade
from
Him,
is
it
not
up
to
us
to
create
the
vessel
for
the
light
to
come?
R.
No
it's
here
when
we
are
only
as
a
potential
force,
it's
before
we
exist,
we
don't
yet
have
recognition
or
choice
or
personal
actions.
5.
S.
(07:45)
If
our
world
is
only
a
will
to
receive,
so
how
by
connecting
these
desires
can
we
somewhat
rise
if
it
is
a
material
that
is
so
opposite?
R.
To
begin
with
he
explains
to
us
that
we
are
in
a
world
which
is
all
in
order
to
receive,
etc.
As
we
continue
to
study
we
learn
that
there
was
a
shattering,
and
there
are
sparks
of
bestowal,
the
force
of
the
Creator
that
fell
and
crashed
and
divided
between
the
vessels
of
reception,
and
this
is
why
in
each
and
every
vessel
of
reception
there's
a
spark
of
the
Creator.
That
is
why
the
whole
Wisdom
of
Kabbalah
speaks
about
how
we
through
all
kinds
of
actions
from
below
we
can
awaken
the
upper
light
from
above.
That
it
will
live
in
us,
those
sparks
of
bestowal
that
fell
in
the
shattering
and
this
is
how
we
will
collect
all
these
sparks
and
connect
them
together
and
correct
them
all
the
will
to
receive
that
the
Creator
created.
6.
S.
(09:27)
The
first
part
we
learned
how
to
behave
in
our
work
here,
and
here
we
learned
how
it's
created
and
how
it
came
down
to
us,
what
is
the
benefit
of
this
study
of
preface?
R.
The
preface
basically
incorporates
the
whole
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
in
an
abbreviated
way,
Baal
HaSulam
is
trying
to
explain
in
it
what
this
is
about,
the
worlds,
the
Behinot,
the
creations
and
how
they're
all
connected
to
us
and
what's
the
beginning
and
what's
the
end.
S.
Why
do
we
need
to
know
that
we
can
only
work?
R.
How
to
work.
S.
How
we
did,
as
we
learned
in
the
first
part?
R.
What's
the
first
part,
what
do
you
understand
from
the
first
part?
You
have
to
know
everything
in
order
to
know
how
to
elicit
the
maximum
benefit
from
creation,
you
understand?
Look
at
the
people
around
you,
the
ones
who
don't
ask
anything
and
they
don't
care
about
anything
and
they
say
ordinary
workers
if
anyone
wants
to
know
more
learns
more,
feels
more
and
elevates
himself
above
people
and
also
works
in
a
special
way,
getting
better
salary
Etc.
Why
do
I
need
to
know,
this
is
what
the
Wisdom
of
Kabbalah
is
asking
why
do
I
need
to
know
how
many
angels
are
in
the
sky
and
what
their
names
are,
what
do
I
have
from
that?
What
I
have
from
that
is
that
I'm
incorporated
in
the
purpose
of
creation,
the
plan
of
creation,
the
process
of
creation
and
I
can
affect
it.
7.
S.
(11:49)
I
see
many
people
outside
of
the
group
that
are
very
empathetic
and
kind
so
why
can
they
be
so
good
if
we
are
only
just
in
the
desire
to
receive
for
ourselves?
R.
Because
they
are
learning
how
to
relate
to
their
environment
in
the
right
way
in
order
to
get
a
good
attitude
back
from
the
environment,
so
for
them
it's
relatively
easy
to
behave
this
way.
outside
of
our
environment
there
are
many
people
who
behave
nicely.
It's
worthwhile
for
them
and
they
get
a
lot
out
of
it.
S.
They
are
not
honest?
R.
No.
8.
S.
(13:09)
Here
in
excerpt
too
Baal
HaSulam
depicts
the
connection
between
light
and
vessel,
and
when
the
desire
materializes
the
light
in
it
changes,
or
is
it
according
to
the
change
of
the
light
that
the
vessel
changes.
I
wanted
to
ask
here,
it's
unclear
where
is
the
cause
and
consequence
and
how
does
that
descent
take
place?
R.
The
result
can
interchange,
he
writes
this
as
well,
when
the
light
changes
the
vessel
changes,
when
the
vessel
changes
the
light
changes.
S.
The
process
of
descent,
how
does
that
take
place
and
why
does
it
take
place
why
is
it
not
in
the
same
level
of
change?
R.
What
do
you
mean
this
level?
S.
Baal
HaSulam
depicts
the
descent
of
the
worlds
and
I
do
not
understand
this
condition
of
the
cascading
and
how
and
why
does
it
happen,
why
the
vessels
not?
R.
Because
the
light
wants
to
spread
in
all
the
desires
to
fill
them
all,
that's
why
it
cascades
and
it
comes
down
from
the
highest
degrees
to
the
lowest
ones.
9.
S.
(14:56)
We
have
a
young
group
and
we
have
several
friends
and
also
many
friends
have
more
than
20
active
friends,
perhaps
we
are
not
yet
corrected
but
we
pray
for
the
success
of
our
friends.
I
wanted
to
ask
is
it
possible
for
us
at
this
time
to
exit
the
control
of
Pharaoh
and
what
does
it
depend
on?
R.
Only
on
the
connection
between
you,
if
you'll
be
in
a
sufficient
quantity
and
if
you
will
aspire
to
be
in
a
connection
each
will
help
between
yourselves
you'll
be
able
to
come
out
of
the
control
of
Pharaoh.
10.
S.
(16:05)
It
turns
out
according
to
item
two,
that
a
person
in
this
world
can
include
in
himself
the
entire
will
to
receive
and
all
of
its
forms
and
relations
that
are
possible,
is
that
correct?
R.
We
can
say
it's
correct
I
don't
know
what
you're
trying
to
say.
S.
I
want
to
acquire
perception
of
reality
so
let's
say
What's
the
difference
between
an
elephant
of
this
world
and
a
person
of
this
world,
how
do
I
relate
to
details
that
are
outside
of
me?
R.
How
do
you
relate
to
the
details
outside
of
you?
S.
YesI
look
at
reality
and
I
see
people,
animals,
plants?
R.
They
are
in
the
same
world
like
you
and
your
relation
to
the
world
you
also
determine
their
state.
S.
What
is
special
about
a
human
being
in
this
world
because
it
says
that
the
last
stage
of
concatenation
of
the
will
to
receive
as
a
person,
what
is
special
about
the
person?
R.
That
it
incorporates
all
the
different
shapes
of
the
world.
S.
For
instance
animals
and
plants
don't
include
with
them
all
the
form?
R.
No.
S.
In
what
way
do
they
not?
R.
They
don't
include
everything
they
only
include
partial
and
man
includes
all
of
them.
S.
And
the
role
of
man?
R.
To
reach
adhesion
with
the
Creator
where
he
can
elevate
the
entire
creation
to
that
level.
11.
S.
(17:44)
It's
not
clear
because
here
he
writes,
as
much
as
the
will
to
receive
is
included
in
the
abundance
it
doesn't
reach
the
full
measure
of
vitality
in
the
body.
What
is
the
final
desire
of
the
person?
R.
The
Creator
created
the
will
to
receive
and
this
will
to
receive
when
it's
in
the
will
to
bestow,
meaning
the
will
to
receive
in
order
to
bestow
then
it
is
considered
to
be
in
the
upper
world,
the
level
of
the
upper
world.
When
it's
in
the
will
to
bestow
in
order
to
bestow
then
it's
in
a
lower
world
that
this,
when
it's
in
an
even
lower
world
it's
considered
to
be
with
a
little
bit
of
the
will
to
receive
that
starts
to
awaken
in
him,
and
then
when
it's
in
the
will
to
receive
that
completely
controls
him.
he's
considered
to
be
in
the
lower
world.
S.
He
writes
here
that
the
will
to
receive
needs
to
reach
its
final
form,
what
is
that
final
form?
R.
The
final
form
is
when
the
will
to
receive
is
completely
revealed.
S.
It
sounds
like
the
worst
thing
possible,
what's
happening
with
the
will
to
receive?
R.
Worse
or
not
worse
it
doesn't
matter
I
used
different
words,
the
will
to
receive
that's
revealed
in
all
of
its
form
that
the
Creator
created.
S.
Then
what?
R.
Then
it's
considered
to
be
in
this
world.
S.
Can
you
correct
such
a
thing,
can
you
correct
systems
of
relations
in
such
a
way
before
they
reach
disasters,
is
it
possible
to
correct
such
a
thing?
R.
Yes.
S.
How?
R.
I
can't
but
we
learn
that
nature
can,
that
the
Creator
can.
S.
The
Creator
can
but
we
don't
see
that
it
happens,
we
see
that
it's
getting
worse
from
one
day
to
the
next?
R.
I
don't
know
if
it's
worse
or
if
it's
on
the
way
but
this
is
how
it
needs
to
reach
a
good
way
but
this
is
what
happens,
we
see
this.
S.
Do
you
see
that
it's
possible
to
correct
such
a
thing,
this
egoism,
the
will
to
receive
in
its
final
form
R.
Yes
the
way
Kabbalists
explain
this
to
us,
yes.
S.
I
personally
don’t
see
that
and
many
people
do
not
see
that.
R.
You're
always
in
doubts,
you're
never
content
with
the
Creator
or
creation,
you're
not
content
with
anything.
S.
I'm
very
happy
with
creation,
I'm
not
happy
with
relations
between
us
I
see
situations
that
can
bring
disasters?
R.
Don't
start
with
your
propaganda.
S.
What
will
we
reach
in
the
end?
R.
We
will
reach
the
final
correction
as
we
learned
it.
12.
S.
(21:18)
Precisely
in
that
we
are
included
in
the
will
to
receive
from
the
beginning
we
come
to
the
fullest
form
of
the
will
to
receive
here,
should
that
not
encourage
us
that
we
are
in
this
higher
plan?
Should
that
not
give
us
strength?
R.
Of
course
we're
part
of
a
big
plan
but
the
question
is
in
what
way
are
we
part?
What
part
of
the
plan,
the
worst
or
the
highest
or
in
between?
S.
The
highest
because
from
the
beginning
we
understand
all
these
things?
R.
What
are
you
trying
to
ask?
S.
I
at
least
feel
that
it
is
in
relation
to
what
you
said
earlier
about
not
being
able
to
exit
but
this
knowledge
of
the
plan
that's
what
gives
us
strength,
to
understand
that
we're
apart
within
the
system?
R.
I
agree
with
you.
13.
S.
(22:41)
The
role
of
the
person
is
to
reach
adhesion
with
the
Creator
in
order
to
rise
and
bring
the
entire
world
in
order
to
rise
and
bring
the
entire
creation
to
the
Creator,
what
is
adhesion
with
the
Creator?
R.
Adhesion
with
the
Creator
is
what
we
call
equivalence
of
form,
whenever
the
Creator
wants
some
things
creation
itself
wants
some
things
and
then
they
act
together.
S.
What
does
that
mean?
R.
That
each
and
every
detail
in
creation
wants
the
same
goal
and
the
same
process
that
the
Creator
also
wants
the
creation
to
go
through.
S.
That's
what
the
Creator
wants
but
how
do
I
know
that
he
wants?
R.
He
wants
adhesion
between
the
creation
and
between
him
complete
adaptation.
S.
That
we
feel
what
he
feels
and
what
he
wants?
R.
Yes.
S
And
that's
through
the
ten?
R.
Yes.
14.
S.
(23:58)
With
all
these
questions
and
all
these
scrutinies
in
this
entire
state
that
we
are
in,
what
is
the
main
thing
that
we
should
hold
on
to
and
give
all
of
our
efforts
to
so
that
we
can
truly
be
in
the
correct
direction?
R.
Connection
between
us
until
the
pressure
between
us
that
we
establish
in
this
connection
we'll
discover
the
form
of
the
Creator.
S.That's
the
one
thing
that
I
need
to
emphasize,
nothing
beyond
that
nothing
about
what's
happening
in
our
country,
in
the
world,
nothing
only
that
is
what
I
need
to
place
my
entire
focus
on?
R.
Yes.
15.
S.
(25:36)
I
feel
a
confusion,
I
heard
you
say
that
the
light
changes
and
then
the
vessel
changes,
does
the
light
change
or
is
it
the
vessel
that
sees
the
light
differently?
R.
No,
the
vessel
doesn't
want
to
change
and
it
cannot
change;
it
is
incapable
of
changing.
If
it's
not
through
the
light
that
changes
itself
and
this
is
how
it
changes
the
vessel.
A
vessel
is
a
result
of
the
light
the
light
comes
before
the
vessel.
16.
S.
(26:43)
We
read
in
the
first
part
and
I
think
that
this
is
the
main
problem
of
ours,
that
we
want,
we
theoretically
learn
and
understand
that
the
thoughts
of
the
Egyptians,
these
thoughts
and
desires
constantly
penetrate
us
and
we
don't
have
the
protection
for
that
and
that's
the
entire
difficulty.
Until
there
will
be
this
inner
work
between
the
Egyptians
and
the
Israelis
we
will
not
be
able
to
do
anything?
R.
I
agree
with
you,
so
do
this
work,
what's
the
problem.
S.
How?
R.
How
can
we
do
that,
you
have
both
the
part
of
Egypt
and
the
part
of
Israel,
do
the
work
between
them
in
a
way
that
you'll
correct
one
by
the
other.
S.
Is
that
the
differentiation
between
the
screen
and
the
barrier?
R.
No.
17.
S.
(28:28)
You
said
that
we
need
to
pressure
the
connection
between
us
until
we
reveal
the
Creator
between
us.
How
can
we
press
more,
what
should
we
do
in
order
to
press
more?
R.
One
should
help
his
friend,
only
give
an
example
from
one
to
the
other
and
you
don't
need
anything
beyond
that,
for
sure
this
will
help
us
and
all
the
way
to
reach
correction.
S.
I'm
afraid
of
feeling
despair,
is
it
a
good
feeling?
I
don't
even
know
if
it's
a
good
feeling
or
a
bad
feeling
to
feel
this
despair
from
my
inability
to
do
more?
R.
Your
inability
for
sure
that
you're
not
intended
to
do
anything
alone,
but
when
you
connect
with
your
friends
you'll
discover
that
you
have
as
much
as
you
want.
S.
The
force
to
press.
R.
Yes.
18.
S.
(29:41)
I
heard
that
the
light
and
the
vessel
are
in
interaction
that
either
the
vessel
changes
or
vice
versa,
so
we
also
heard
that
the
light
is
at
complete
rest.
What
causes
the
light
to
change
if
it's
not
our
vessel?
With
respect
to
us
does
it
change?
R.
What
causes
the
light
to
change
it's
due
to
it
being
out
of
the
plan
of
creation.
Therefore
it
constantly
increases
and
by
that
it
needs
to
awaken
the
vessel
and
we
on
behalf
of
the
vessel
need
to
move
towards
the
light
and
ask
from
the
light
to
give
us
the
force
of
bestowal,
as
such
we
will
come
closer
to
the
goal.
19.
S.
(30:09)
You
talked
about
the
actions
from
below
and
I
wanted
to
ask
how
does
a
Kabbalist
rise
to
the
degrees
even
when
he
lives
in
this
world?
R.
Certainly
he
lives
in
this
world
and
together
with
that
in
his
attainment
he
rises
into
the
spiritual
degrees.
Through
that
in
which
he
connects
with
friends
and
attracts
the
reforming
light,
which
is
what
elevates
him
from
one
degree
to
the
next.
20.
S.
(32:08)
Enlarge
the
vessel?
R.
Yes
of
course
certainly.
21.
S.
(32:34)
What
is
the
meaning
of
the
will
to
receive
being
incorporated
how
can
I
understand
how
much
it
incorporates?
R.
The
will
to
receive
becomes
lower
descends
more
that's
what
it
means
by
its
materializing.
S.
What's
the
difference
between
my
will
to
receive
an
ordinary
person's
will
to
receive
in
this
world?
R.
I
cannot
say
that,
you
need
that.
22.
S.
(33:12)
The
disturbances
that
we
feel
the
sensation
of
the
light
coming
closer
to
us,
and
if
so
what
is
missing
is
the
prayer
for
correction
in
our
vessel
so
that
we
can
rise
above
the
disturbances
and
come
closer
to
the
Creator.?
R.
Correct,
correct
but
that
will
also
change.
23.
S.
(34:03)
How
is
the
vessel
formed,
is
the
absence
of
the
light
that
forms
the
vessel?
R.
Yes
we
will
learn
that
soon
here
in
the
Preface,
here
in
the
Preface.
Reading item 2 again
24.
S.
(37:25)
Why
is
it
always
written
“come
onto
Pharaoh
because
I
have
hardened
his
heart”,
because
in
the
connection
between
us
we
discover
the
Creator's
control
upon
us.
Why
don't
we
all
take
Pharaoh
to
the
Creator
and
say
take
him
away,
take
him
from
us,
is
that
possible?
R.
When
you'll
have
such
a
desire,
then
you'll
be
able
to
do
that
but
for
the
time
being
your
desires
are
the
opposite.
Meaning
only
with
our
common
mutual
desire.
25.
S.
(38:41)
What
does
it
mean
the
final
way
of
materialization?
R.
It
means
to
attain
the
maximal
sized
egoistic
desire,
most
distant
from
the
Creator.
S.
Am
I
the
one
who
defines
that
I've
reached
that?
R.
Yes.
S.
With
respect
to
spirituality?
R.
I
did
not
understand
this.
S.
With
respect,
what
do
I
find
this?
R.
Towards
your
degree
you
determine
whether
you
have
reached
the
bottom.
S.
If
I
have
defined
this
to
be
so,
this
means
I
start
the
ascent?
R.
Yes,
afterwards
starts
the
ascent.
S.
Where
is
the
state
of
advancement
called,
the
Israel?
R.
It's
still
early
for
you,
wait
for
it.
26.
(39:58)
I've
heard
that
our
prayers
expand
our
vessel,
everyday
we
pray
and
it's
the
same
words
and
the
same
sentences.
What
exactly
expands
the
Vessel,
what
exactly
increases
and
enlarges
the
vessel?
R.
How
our
understanding
in
the
words
that
we
excrete
from
ourselves,
as
much
as
we
wish
to
be
more
and
more
connected
to
the
words
that
come
out
of
our
throats.
S.It's
the
same
words
only
the
internality
of
these
words?
R.
Yes.
27.
S.
(40:47)
The
way
we
understand
from
item
2,,he
says
this
world
is
called
the
world
of
Assiya
and
this
is
the
world
where
the
will
to
receive
is
completely
materialized?
R.
Yes.
S.
What
is
the
world
of
Assiya?
R.
That
is
the
name
of
this
world
we
are
in
and
we
need
to
reveal
it
in
a
spiritual
form.
S.
Who
is
in
the
world
of
Assiya?
R.
It
is
as
if,
our
own
desires.
S.
What
do
you
mean
seemingly?
R.
Because
that's
how
it
is
unless
you
wish
to
understand
it
correctly
then
we
are
not
in
any
world.
Meaning
us,
if
you
are
talking
about
people,
we
are
not
in
any
world.
But
that
is
how
it
is
in
order
to
demarcate
the
things
somewhat
so,
it
says
we
are
in
the
world
of
Assiya.
S.
When
we
enter
the
world
of
Assiya
what
is
that
called?
R.
When
we
enter
the
world
of
Assiya
it
is
considered
that
we
enter
the
revelation
of
the
world
of
Asia.
S.
Do
we
discover
that
we
are
in
the
will
to
receive
that
is
completely
materialized?
R.
Yes.
S.
This
is
called
spirituality?
R.
Not
Spirituality.
S.
But
it
is
the
world
of
Assiya?
R.
That's
what
we
call
it
but
it's
a
difference
between
what
a
world
is
and
what
he
attains.
S.
There's
a
difference
between
where
a
person
is
and
what
he
attains?
A
person
is
in
the
world
of
Assiya
but
he
does
not
attain
it?
R.
Correct,
let's
say
a
person
is
unconscious,
so
he's
lying
there
let's
say
at
the
hospital.
Is
he
there
or
is
he
not?
Yes
everyone
sees
that,
but
he
himself,
he
doesn't
know
what's
going
on
with
him
he
has
no
feeling
of
that.
S.
As
we
enter
the
world
of
Assiya
we
are
actually
unconscious
of
being
in
the
world
of
Assiya?
R.
That
is
right.
S.
Then
what's
the
process,
we
start
awakening
and
start
recognizing
it?
R.
Yes.
S.
That
what?
R.
That
we
are
unconscious,
and
then
we
start
working
among
each
other
in
order
to
determine
through
connection
between
us
some
kind
of
consciousness
of
our
state.
S.
That
we
are
under
the
control
of
the
complete
will
to
receive
R.
Yes.
S.
Can
we
say
that
it's
like
when
we
come
out
of
Egypt,
where
is
the
world
of
Assiya
in
this
process
R.
I
wouldn't
continue
this
now,
people
are
tired
they
won't
grasp
everything
correctly.
28.
S.
(43:15)
Can
we
say
that
the
distance
between
creation
and
the
Creator
is
materialized
by
the
development
of
the
physical
world?
R.
In
the
meantime
we
lack
discernments.
We
still
have
no
discernment.
We have a meal that's coming up, maybe we can already start moving to it. I see that people are sitting and just waiting for the lesson to end. Let's go to the meal.
