Item 5 “You can therefore see that in AK, before ....” (00:01 - 01:42)
44. R. Meaning AK itself we don't have any screens, no limitations it is just light filling all of the vessels, according to the vessels themselves. That is why the world of AK it's called the world of the Keter that it just shines with no limits to everyone and the limit starts from the second restriction where there is a feeling of limitation and separating the vessels into bestowing and receiving that are felt after the second restriction.
Item 6 “Tzimtzum Bet occurred in Olam Atzilut and the Parsa ....” (02;25 - 04:42)
45. R. This is what we need to remember, we don't maybe understand it completely but the upper light in its way from above, coming down to us, it goes through all kinds of restrictions and all kinds of limitations towards us in order to give us a place to exist, so it has to restrict itself. Not that the screens themselves really exist, that they all work from Parsa and below this is why we need to reach the world of Atzilut and below Atzilut only there we can see a place that the created beings can exist.
46. S. (05:51) What does he mean by saying the coarseness of the screen cannot rise above its place?
R. Coarseness can't rise above, it is only where the screen is and below it, that is how we feel the limitation, not above it.
S. It says there is no screen in the Partzufim of Atzilut at all..
R. There's only preparation for all kinds of lights and vessels, all kinds of influences for those that are below Parsa will demand from the world of Atzilut to demand to work with the lights to raise themselves and raise to the world of Atzilut not that they can influence it in anyway.
S. What is the concept of coarseness of the screen?
R. The screen rides upon the coarseness.
S. What does that mean in terms of action?
R. The Masach is a force of resistance that the will to receive has and the coarseness, the will to receive with a certain vessel, it determines the coarseness of the screen.
S. Can you give us an example in the town of the coarseness of the screen?
R. No you don't have such a ten that has the coarseness of the screen, because your coarseness isn't spiritual yet, it is only corporeal.
S. And if there is spirituality in the group then what is coarseness of the screen?
R. We will talk about it when you get there.
47. S. (07:55) What is this place called Chazeh, Partzuf de Nekudot de SAG de AK where Malchut de Behina Dalet rise to this point specifically and not above to Tabur?
R. That is the connection between Bina and Malchut where the qualities of Malchut and Bina exist, this is why the Malchut ascends up to there.
48. S. (08:41) He writes that the coarseness begins to work only from the Sium de Raglin downward to the point of this world, what is that point?
R. That is where the will to receive is revealed in a way that it is not covered with a screen, so there we can reveal, we are talking towards the created beings, that there we can reveal the coarseness.
49. S. (09:16) What does it mean that there is no screen in AK before the second restriction, there is Rosh de Galgata ...?
R. It is not screens, we will learn it is coming up in TES, it is not called a screen yet because the will to receive still hasn't been revealed in its true form, that is why I also the screen isn't.
Chapter 15 “Explains the issue of Keter and ABYA and the .....” (09:53 - 10:50)
50. R. What he is saying is every structure can be divided into five parts, KHBZAM if it is the general structure of all of reality the five parts are called worlds, if we take every part on its own, every world, so we divided into five parts, KHBZAM and we call them Partzufim if we take a Partzuf it also divides into 5 parts and we call these five parts Sefirot.
Item 2 “The Parsa in Chazeh de Atzilut is Hitkalelut ....” (11:40 - 14:30)
51. R. Also here what does he want to say that everything is divided in KHBZAM, in the worlds we are speaking of Partzufim called GA, AB, SAG, MA, BON or in the world of Atzilut we give them different names because there we have the second restriction, in the world and the Partzufim change to Atik, Arikh Anpin, AVI, Yeshsut, ZA, Nukva, nothing is new, it is because the Partzufim have limitations the way they accept the upper light within them, they work with screens and according to that they are weaker, the upper light is revealed in them in a weaker manner and this is why their names also change, no more than that.
52. S. (15:37) Is the structure true for all of the degrees? What above Parsa?
R. Yes, of course the Parsa exists in all of the Partzufim, and all of the worlds, that is the difference, the vessels of bestowal are above Parsa and the vessels of reception are below Parsa.
S. How do we bring this into our work in the ten?
R. Vessels have reception and vessels of bestowal, desires where you can bestow are above Parsa, desires where you can't bestow are below Parsa.
53. S. (16:32) What can we learn from the world of Atzilut not having a screen in it?
R. You do have screens in the world of Atzilut but not screens that diminish the lights but according to you you can receive all of the lights all the way to Ein Sof.
Item 3 “Just like the Olam Atzilut is divided into ABYA ....” (16:59 - 18:22)
54. R. This is the way he gives us a general division and there is no more than that here, every place we can state things whether it is Sefirot or world's, Partzufim, the body parts of that Partzuf, that is how it is. It has different names so we can very quickly see what we are speaking about. Here we have finished the third part of TES and right away we are going to go to the 4th.
TES Part 4
Item 1 “Explains Rosh and Guf down to Tabur ....” (19:08 - 20:03)
Item 2 “We do not have the strength to study before ....” (20:04 - 20:43)
Item 2 “The Eser Sefirot of Atzilut are light and vessels ....” (20:44 - 21:44)
Item 3 “The Orot de Guf de AK from Peh to Tabur ....” (21:45 - 23:30)
Item 4 “The HaVaYot of the Kelim were born from ....” (23:31 - 24:24)
Item 5 “There are no Kelim prior to Akudim ....” (24:25 - 25:05)
55. R. Meaning he is giving us in Part 4, in the beginning he is describing the general structure, what happens with the lights or the vessels in the world of Akudim because from here we are going to speak about the rest of the worlds Nekudim and Berudim. I tis good that we heard it, we will keep it in our minds and we will learn more. Part 4 is important in that it gives us an elaboration, detailing in our observation on all the lights and vessels, records. This is all only in addition to the connection that we have to do between us in the tens, there is our main work.
56. S. (26:16) What are those worlds Nekudim, Akudim, Berudim?
R. Akudim are the worlds of AK, Nekudim is the world of Nekudim below the Tabur of the world of Adam Kadmon, Berudim are the worlds of Beriyut, Yetzira, Assiya, we will learn it. These are the three types of worlds that exist in the general world Akudim, Nekudim, Berudim. All the Partzufim of AK that are in the first restriction are from the worlds of Akudim tied in one vessel, this is why they are called Akudim. After that comes the way Nekudim, because of the 100 Nekudot, points of SAG in it exists second restriction and the world of Berudim was done after the breaking, it exists including the worlds of Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya that were erected as a result of the breaking of the vessels and it is an example of how we have to correct our vessel of Adam.
