Part 2:

Rabash. Explanation of the Article, “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” (The Line and the Zivug de Hakaa)

(00:35) Reading: The Line and the Zivug de Hakaa

1. S. (09:18) Why does he divide it to 20 and 80%?

R. It seemed to him to be seemingly closer to the truth but the actual truth is that it is much much less than that, it is a thin line on the amount that the Rosh is able to calculate how to receive in order to bestow and then to, in practice, to receive in order to bestow from the Peh and below. I don't know how much of that but it is a very thin line, he writes about it.

S. So, it supposedly is less than 20?

R. Of course, of course.

S. Where should we aspire towards?

R. We need to join such actions and help the entire, the general desire to receive, so we will be able to receive more and more in order to bestow and in this way to expand until it becomes a circle.

2. S. (10:34) He asks a question here, what is the difference between a restriction and a screen, and he says a restriction was from choice, as we have learned, and the screen is a domination of the Upper One on it. What does it mean that the screen is a domination of the Upper One? It seems like a calculation from the lower one?

R. No, but it is all according to the information that the Upper One is giving him. The Upper One lowers the data down to him and he just makes the calculation, he is built in this way.

S. I don't understand. There's a light that comes down, we restricted it.

R. Yes.

S. Then also he says, and then Malchut calculates and says up to here I can receive and if I kept receiving I'll receive in order to receive so she does not want that.

R. Yes.

S. What is the domination of the Upper One? It’s the lower ones deciding.

R. I don't quite understand the control of the lower one? When will you have the control of the lower?

S. The calculation in the screen which is the Rosh, is that a calculation of the lower one or the Upper One?

R. Of course the Upper One, what can the lower one do? What does he understand even according to which Reshimot/records does he exist, what is he calculating actually?

S. The lower one, the screen isn't of the lower one, it is at the Upper One? Maybe I do not get something. Here’s the Partzuf, the Partzuf has a Rosh, Toch, Sof, and at the Peh we always learn that there is a screen. That screen, is that something that belongs to the Upper One not to the lower one?

R. It belongs to the lower one but the calculations are according to what the lower one lowers into him for calculation.

S. Who is performing the calculation, the lower one or the Upper One? Who is making this decision, I will receive, I'll stop, I'll get more maybe?

R. The lower one.

S. So I don't understand. I'm going back to the first question, why is he saying that the first is the domination of the Upper One?

R. The domination of the Upper One on the lower one according to the data that the Upper One lowers the data to the lower one, accordingly the lower ones decide.

S. The Upper One is teaching or giving the lower one the understanding that if he receives from here on that will be in order to receive and then the lower one receives that information and works according to it?

R. Yes.

S. In the screen actually there is no choice of the lower one? There is only calculation like dealers, up to here I can, from here I can't, that is it?

R. Yes.

3. S. (13:53) So why during the shattering or before the shattering the Upper One did not calculate correctly?

R. Of course the Upper One did not miscalculate it.

S. Can it be that the Upper One makes a mistake?

R. Intentionally.

4. S. (14:18) What does it mean that the desire of the lower one is clothed on the Upper One's desire? That he is clothing the light.

R. The desire of the lower one rises and clothes the light that is in the Upper One in order to calculate how he can receive in order to bestow.

S. The action of clothing in the Rosh, it is not reception yet?

R. Not yet.

S. It is written that the reality of the Rosh is because there is a Sof that he can’t receive. What does that mean?

R. In the Rosh you have the root, Rosh, Toch, Sof, receiving the light as much as possible according to how much it’s forbidden and what is happening later, but first of all what he cannot receive, this is all in the Rosh.

S. He says that it’s because there is the Sof so on behalf of the vessel it’s disconnection from the light?

R. Let us say it is a disconnection. It’s Sof, it’s the end of receiving of the light in order to bestow.

5. S. (15:54) He writes that there is a dispute between the Upper One and the lower one that the Upper One wants to do good to the created beings, that's why he is giving the lower one a desire to get all the light, and the desire that wants to advance and bestow he’s rejecting it, he wants to equalize to the Upper One, he cannot receive the light because then he will stop the connection. At this point is that called “the striking” what he writes? That he is striking on the upper light and sending it back?

R. Yes, this is striking.

S. When does the striking become a coupling of striking?

R. When he decides to receive something out of it. Then from the striking it becomes a coupling.

S. Striking is only on the relative part?

R. Yes.

S. Only on the relative part he can receive it?

R. Yes.

6. S. (17:02) In order to understand the text in the mind does that contradict understanding it in your feeling?

R. Not necessarily contradictory, sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the state that the person is in.

S. Is there a way to know? When it is contradicting and when it isn't?

R. Check it and see.

7. S. (17:33) The question is regarding Malchut of Toch. How to receive that more than what the light gives cannot receive this 80% cannot receive it and yet there is no breaking, he doesn't know the consequences. How does it feel that this is the limit that she can receive?

R. It examines, it performs a meticulous calculation on how much it can receive and enjoy the reception in order to bestow, since through that there is adhesion in the Creator, in the Upper One. What is happening with the rest that she refuses to receive? It is also because in this way she remains in adhesion with the Upper One, except by not receiving.

S. How if she receives more there is a distance? When does she feel disconnection? When does she acquire this Reshimot?

R. It is not clear, translate again please.

S. When Malchut in the Toch receives the information that there is a disconnection. Where was this disconnection registered? How did she know that with this 80% of the light it would be a disconnection between the Creator and Malchut.

R. It all comes from the calculation of the 20%. Because the light that comes, comes to the entire desire and that light is devised then into 20/80 so from that she understands how much to receive and why, and where it does not receive, how much and why. Her decision in the Rosh divides the desire in the Guf into two parts, what can be filled from Peh to the Tabur and what cannot be filled from the Tabur to Sium.

S. What is the difference between the striking and reflected light?

R. The striking is a resistance of the vessel, the screen, to the clothing of the light and for that reason the light goes back to the source, so that is the striking.

S. And reflected light?

R. Reflected light is what the vessel raises upon it, like clothing upon it, and by clothing it she can then receive it in order to bestow.

S. The sign for this being in reflected light is that it feels the direct light?

R. Of course, not only feel it but clothe upon it, receive it, it does everything.

S. What is the difference in striking? What does it feel that it knows that now he is doing a striking compared to the coupling and reflected light?

R. That is according to its vessels. If it can receive in order to bestow so it is a striking and a coupling, if it can only resist which is also not simple to resist it's coming of the light upon him, so it is only the striking.

8. S. (22:31) We say that building the intention is restriction, screen, reflected light. Restriction we understand, it is an action of the lower one where it says I am not willing to receive with the previous conditions. A screen we said, it is something it receives from the Upper One. Reflected light is an action of the lower one or the Upper One or is it an obligated action after I did a calculation?

R. Reflected light is an action by the lower one that is responding to the direct light that comes to it.

S. Is there a way for the lower one after to have a screen not to have reflected light? Is there such a thing?

R. If he can receive in order to bestow.

S. Yes, it can?

R. So obviously it will not do any reflected light. Reflected light, but not in the way that it is rejecting the upper light. Because it is only rejecting him in order to receive afterwards. It is a different kind of rejection.

S. Can you clarify this? I didn't get it?

R. There is the matter of restriction and rejection in the lower one towards the upper light and there is the matter of rejecting the upper light in order to clothe upon it and receive a part of it from below upward.

S. This action of clothing, is it obligatory? Is it something automatic that is happening or is there additional overcoming like the restriction?

R. It must exist if the lower one wants to receive the Upper One.

S. So, the only action, if I understood correctly in this process, is a choice of the lower one, is a restriction?

R. Yes.

9. S. (24:42) Why does everything begins with the purifying of the screen to the emanation of the face, continues with the coupling and the striking in the corrected screen and ends with the striking of the surrounding and the inner light? Why is it?

R. It is different ways of the light contacting the vessel. Which is the will, the light is to bestow.

10. S. (25:17) The point of restriction is the first point where there is equivalence between the Creator and the created being. It is the first time that we come to an equivalence of form, but we also said that the restriction of the created being is the result of shame.

R. Well?

S. There is no shame of the Creator relative to the created being. What is the intention of the created being with the restriction? Why does he restrict himself? Is it because he wants to resemble the Creator or because he is making a calculation regarding his shame?

R. The created being calculates and restricts himself because the Creator bestows and the created being is a receiver and the gap between them is infinite; infinite, they are opposite. That is why the created being performs a restriction. He doesn't want to be in a communication. He doesn't want to be, how do I say it, in such a calculation.

S. Then again, his calculation with himself or relative to the Creator? I'm trying to understand what is the difference between such a calculation than any other egoistic calculation? I'm checking myself. It's again about me. I am different than Him and that is why I do not receive, but I do not have an actual attitude towards Him.

R. You are opposite than Him. That is why nothing will help you. No action will help, also to receive, also to bestow, whatever you want, you can't. The state says that you are opposite of the Creator and for that reason you cannot be together, in any way.

S. I'm looking for a point where he wants to do something for His sake and not a calculation for himself, something inside I cannot get.

R. Okay, think.

11. S. (27:54) Rabash writes that in the line there is a higher and lower importance. We said in the previous article that we made this calculation throughout the article, that a person discovers he lacks importance but he has at least an attitude that he lacks importance. How from that do we get to the point of restriction? Is spirituality somewhere up Above? I am here down below and I discover that I lack the necessary importance for spirituality?

R. Yes.

S. How from this I come to restriction? What am I restricting?

R. I don't know how you came to the state that you don't care about spirituality.

S. I see in practice that's what they revealed to me.

R. Because you do not know what it is.

S. Right?

R. So.

S. How from that I begin to come closer even though I do not know what it is they reveal to me from within. They are showing me you have no importance for spirituality. You have to think of the friends, you have to love them, you have to invest in them, you cannot do it.

R. Correct, but you can perform a correction upon yourself and then after the correction, you will be able to do these actions.

S. And..?

R. So perform a correction.

S. But how can I make a correction if what I discover is opposite? What is the correction, my attitude?

R. The correction is the screen. Why are you looking at me?

12. S. (30:21) My question is about the restriction. What’s called a world? Does it include the Rosh, the Toch, the Sof?

R. Because it reveals the desire of the lower one, which is called the world of the lower one. It reveals it in a new way.

S. And has no Sof. It runs throughout the entire line. It will always exist?

R. Of course. From the beginning of the face until the end, the restriction is on the whole face.

13. S. (31:05) Does the inferior suffer or maybe the superior suffers or maybe they take pleasure?

R. There still is no pleasure and we cannot even discuss the suffering because it is just a lack of the agreement between one another. It is two laws of nature that strike each other.

14. S. (32:15) When the created being performs this action of not receiving, how can he take the Creator as a partner later because it is written that the screen is the domination of the Upper One on him. How do you take the Creator as a partner in order to continue to build it?

R. We will learn about it.

15. S. (32:50) The things that he is describing here, the coupling and striking and then calculation of how much to receive, how much not to receive, is it related to our work in the ten whatsoever or is it only for the future?

R. I hope that it is work in the near future.

S. Let's say coupling and striking, I can somehow imagine it where opposite qualities of me and the friend they clash, but the calculation of how much to receive, how much not to receive? How is it right to even feel what I am receiving?

R. We will learn about it in the structure of the face, Partzuf. When the desire will make a face of itself, meaning will be able to calculate exactly in which way to be connected to the Upper One to the bestower and how the Partzuf can receive from the Upper One, from the bestower and in this way bestow back to him, meaning to receive in a way that the Upper One will feel that if it is done for Him, for His sake. Then we will be able to calculate from where and how to take forces. Imagine a child that wants to receive for the sake of his mother and is asking in force to, for forces of calculation, forces of desire in order to understand and receive for her sake.

S. I wish to imagine it and investigate it, but I don't even understand what am I receiving?

R. Receive pleasure no matter which, it is pleasure and you want in your action to give it to the Upper One, to give Him pleasure of yourself, of your action. Imagine yourself as a baby that the mother gives you a spoon of porridge and you receive it, and how you feel from what you are receiving, her part and your part and how the both of you by you receiving that light from her, that porridge, how by that you enter the coupling with the Upper One, but the coupling has to be by striking. Meaning that first there is a resistance, a calculation and then a connection and receiving the light in order to bestow.

S. It speaks only of pleasures. The calculations are about that. When I feel the pleasure then I make a calculation on it?

R. Yes, you feel that she is the pleasure.

S. So when there's no pleasure we are not talking about it yet, right?

R. Right.

16. S. (36:49) Why do we need to separate Rosh and Guf in the system?

R.  Because also for us there is a difference between what we decide and what we perform, what we implement. The thought, the calculation, that is still not called in action. It is only an action in potential and not in practice. In practice it is realization.

17. S. (37:34) What comes first equivalence of form or restriction?

R. The restriction is an action. What action did it come from? Answer?

S. From receiving the light and he is feeling shame.

R. Meaning?

S. He is not bestowing.

R. So, it is a flawed action. First, there is a calculation and then the correct action.

18. S. (38:10) M7 and USA San Francisco are together tonight. So, I want to ask you. The Rosh is the calculation, is the potential in the Guf is the realization? What is the role of the Sof besides the departing light?

R. The Sof remains empty to the extent that it cannot receive in order to bestow from the Peh until the Sium of the face, that is the whole desire where it can receive in order to bestow. That is from Peh to the Tabur wherever it can receive in order to bestow it is a desire from the Tabur to the Sium. And the Rosh is what decides how to divide the Partzuf into the Toch and the Sof.

19. S. (39:35) What is the difference between striking and restriction?

The difference between striking and restriction is the difference, the striking is when they knock against each other and the restriction is that the will to receive restricts itself.

20. S. (40:14) So it turns out that the coupling in striking is measuring the amount of light that comes from the Creator which is the reason for the calculation?

R. Yes.

21. S. (40:38) In effect, from the moment he receives the light it takes him a little bit of time to make the calculation?

R. Yeah.

S. So what is happening in this little period of time?

R. There is no time in spirituality, it is instantaneous.

S. But he feels like he is not doing it?

R. He feels that from the moment he receives the light there is a decision.

22. S. (41:20) In the previous lesson we learned that the ten Sefirot of the Igulim received the lights from the calf, from the line. It is that 20% that he receives down to Tabur that comes close to the ten Sefirot of Igulim?

R. No, the circles are a complete different calculation. Let go of them, do not get confused.

S. We are only in the line right now?

R. Yes. The lines are Sefirot with screens, the circles are Sefirot without a screen.

INFORMATION

S. Right before the end of the lesson we want to update everyone about the Congress. We wanted to update everyone our whole world Kli, about the World Kabbalah Convention, October 2023, it is called Opening the Heart. The Congress will take place over two days Saturday and Sunday, September 30 and October 1. Now is an opportunity to say the topics will revolve around the topics of our lives, our heart, our common heart. The main motive is opening the heart. (..further instructions)

R. ..but to prepare for how to convey it in the best possible way that's close, that is comfortable, that is moving that is what we have to do.

S. How can we as a world vessel really prepare for this Congress that will even give you this ability to pass it on?

R. I think that everything is in your hands and I would love to participate in everything that you decide to do.

S. The main topic of the Congress is ‘opening the heart’ and we see that we are investing our whole life on an action that is supposedly the closest to you but the most difficult. So how can we really use all of these moments of our life to really succeed to open the heart.

R. It only depends on the friends. A person by himself has almost no control over it, no control, we can say only the friends that's around him, support him, pressure him on all sides. He loses his mind and his feeling, his own mind and his own feeling and obligates him to take upon himself the work in the line.

S. How can a person devote himself to the friend so that they will open his heart? How can he do such an action?

R. I simply relieve myself from all of my internal inhibitions. I want everything to be devoted to the society. There's nothing more to do.

S. If the heart will not open, what will happen to man, if anything?

R. If the heart will not open a person remains a beast. A person remains a beast and we have to prepare ourselves with anticipation and fear that the responsibility that the heart will open.

S. So what are you doing, such a state.. you remain a beast and you can't open the heart and only the friends can open the heart for you so you are up in the air?

R. Yes that is good but you have to let yourself go, deliver yourself to the hands of the friends.  Just like that, lose yourself in them.

S. Can we get to this Congress with an open heart to prepare ourselves the next month?

R. I think so. I think that everyone understands what has to be done. We feel, there are many who feel it and there are those who are already in the heart and mind.

S. And in the Congress itself, what is the force of the Congress? What can it do to our heart?

R. It is a huge force. It is actually what is working on us. Why do we come to the Congress.. in order to place ourselves under the influence of the upper light that exists in the connection between us and it allows each and every one to leave his individual place and get incorporated in that common vessel and there are those who can come to it, so that is great, and there are those that cannot come physically but can be connected with us through our communication lines and it works on them as well.

S. So you say whoever is already ready in mind and heart in this state, what to do if someone isn't ready yet. How to prepare ourselves more and more in order to just squeeze the maximum spirituality out of this Congress?

R. Throw your hands up and deliver yourself to the power of the general society. I think it will work out. I think we are ready for it and it will happen.

S. Amen
