Part 2: Baal HaSulam. The Study of the Ten Sefirot. Vol 6, Part 15, Item 10.

4-14-2016

Reader: The Study of the Ten Sefirot, part 15, item 10. 

Reader: We are reading from the Study of the Ten Sefirot, part 15, Building the Nukva of Zeir Anpin. You can ask questions on KabCol, selected questions will be asked during the lesson. So, the Study of the Ten Sefirot, part 15, Building the Nukva of Zeir Anpin.There's no English translation, we will do our best. We are in Inner Light, beginning with Zohar. 

M. Laitman: (01:02) We were saying that here, if you remember correctly, I drew it that there's three ascents in the posterior, that Nukva starts from a point, that's her initial position, into Katnut, where she is clothed upon TNHY of Zeir Anpin, and then she can ascend to Gadlut of Zeir Anpin, meaning Ibur, Yenika, and Mochin. Those three states, through the posterior, when building her vessel, that is where we got to. Now, before us is item 10, right? So let's start from above.

Reader: Item 10, the words of the ARI. 

Reading: (01:55) There are four aspects on Panim be Panim, face to face. 

M. Laitman: How the Nukva grows.

Reading continued: And these are, first, that it should be a complete Partzuf, Panim be Panim, face to face. 

M. Laitman: I'm asking you, I see that there's people that just gave up on the Study of the Ten Sefirot. Oh, this is something I don't understand, so I'll just sit. It's not correct. We need to understand that this is our root. We're speaking about the soul. Nukva is our soul. That's why we need to study. And as much as we understand, it's not important, but we have to invest our forces. And even if I have resistance and I can't tie two words together, that's great. That's even better. It's not the wise who studies, but the one who overcomes and wants to feel it, to reach it. What we're reading about here. So please put forces in this. Again, item 10.

Reader: Again, item 10. 

Reading: (02:58) And there are four aspects, the Behinot of Panim be Panim, face to face. And they are, first, that she will be a complete Partzuf, face to face, Panim be Panim. However, her measure is from the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin and below. And her lights of the aspect of the Panim that exists in the first five aspects of Zeir Anpin did not extend to illuminate in her. And the first aspect, the first Behina, that should be also a single point included of ten, corresponding to the Yesod, Panim be Panim, face to face. This is not the place to elaborate on it, and we will interpret it elsewhere. In the interpretation on the morning prayer in the Birkat Avot.

Reader: Again, item 10. 

Reading: (03:54) There are four Behinot, aspects, in the Behinot of Panim be Panim, face to face. They are, first, that she will be a complete Partzuf, Panim be Panim, face to face. But the measure of her degree is from the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin and below. And the lights of her, of her aspect of Panim that she has in the first five aspects of Zeir Anpin did not extend to illuminate in her. And the first aspect, that will be also a single point included of ten, corresponding to the Yesod, Panim be Panim, this is not the place to elaborate on it.

M. Laitman: (04:33) Okay, so we're talking here that Nukva has to reach a state where she is below Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, and she receives light from him, whatever's in Zeir Anpin, but below the Chazeh. Afterwards, she'll receive what he has above the Chazeh until she becomes big. So, the first stage, when she descends and diminishes herself to a point, a point just as she was before.

So, let's see what he writes below in the letter 10, item 10. 

Reader: Item 10 below starts with… 

Reading continued: And it says that there are four aspects in the Behina of Panim be Panim, 

M. Laitman: Meaning, receiving the lights in the Malchut. 

Reading continued: And those four aspects are not arranged precisely in this order. And the first Behina begins from the Partzuf of Yenika of Panim, 

M. Laitman: Meaning that she's small. 

Reading continued: Which is the Partzuf of VAK that is from Chazeh and below, 

M. Laitman: And Zeir Anpin, from Zeir Anpin. 

Reading continued: face to face, without the illumination of the first Hey, 

M. Laitman: Also in Zeir Anpin. 

Reading continued: which are the GAR. 

M. Laitman: That's the state we're in, is that clear? The state itself, not the reasons and why it was done. This is the state itself, right? Good. So, item 11. 

Reader: Item 11, it's in the next page, page 1696. 

Reading: (06:18) And the second is that the first five of Zeir Anpin, 

M. Laitman: that are above his Chazeh, 

Reading continued: illuminated in her from above, 

M. Laitman: from the place where they are, 

Reading continued: but still he is from Chazeh and below, 

M. Laitman: Meaning Nukva is standing below Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, and except for the lights that she's receiving below the Chazeh, also the lights that are above the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, even though she stands below. 

Reading continued: And then he descends in his Netzach, and she ascends in his Hod, in the aspect of the name Bohu. And he bends his degree, and mates with her there. 

M. Laitman: So, below the Chazeh, again, and then the Inner Light.

Reader: 11 above. 

Reading: (07:20) The second is that the first five of Zeir Anpin illuminated in her from above, but still he is from Chazeh and below. And then he descends in his Netzach, and she ascends in his Hod, in the aspect of the name Bohu. And he bends his degree and mates with her there. 

M. Laitman: In his Netzach and Hod, that he is in Netzach, and Nukva is in his Hod, and then they mate between one another. And then the Zivug between Zeir Anpin and Nukva happens in Zeir Anpin. Item 11 below. 

Reader: Previous page, 1695, the line and the second one. 

Reading: (08:12) And the second one, that the first five of Zeir Anpin illuminated in her from above, but still she is from Chazeh and below. And then he descends in Netzach, and she ascends in his Hod. 

M. Laitman: Ascends or descends, meaning that he takes upon himself Zeir Anpin, that clothing of his Netzach. He lowers himself a degree, and Nukva can receive illumination from above from him, and then she can mingle in his Malchut. Nukva is Malchut, but now she is integrated in Malchut of Zeir Anpin. That's called an ascent for her. 

Reading continued: And he bends his degree and mates with her, meaning that the Partzuf of Gadlut, of Panim be Panim, face to face, from the aspect of Mochin de YESHSUT 

M. Laitman: Hassadim

Reading continued: that these Mochin are not enough at all for the mating to give birth of Zeir Anpin himself.

M. Laitman: Because Hassadim isn't enough. You give birth only with Hochma. 

Reading continued: But only for Yaakov.

M. Laitman: That he's small, he belongs below. The lower half of Zeir Anpin is called Yaakov, and the upper half of Zeir Anpin altogether is called Yisrael. 

Reading continued: Then he bends his head to the place of his previous NHY, and he illuminates these Mochin of his suit to Yaakov, who stands in Netzach, which is considered that the Rosh of Zeir Anpin came down to the place of Netzach by bending his head.

M. Laitman: The fact that illuminates from above the Chaze to below the Chaze, it's called bending his head, bowing his head.

Reading continued: And Yaakov mates with the Nukva that stands there in Hod Zeir Anpin…

M. Laitman: When she ascended there. 

And this is considered that she ascends in Hod Zeir Anpin and then she mates with Yaakov and there’s no point to ask why the Nukva has to rise to His Hod in order to receive Mochin of Gatlut from Yaakov since also during the Mochin of VAK of hers she is also found standing there from Chazeh and below. And if so, how come the Rav says that she ascends in his Hod? And the matter is, because truly these NHY are the previous, the old NHY of Zeir Anpin that now, during the times of Mochin, they became HGT of Zeir Anpin. And therefore, this is considered, for the Nukva, as an ascent, because the principle, the main thing, the NHY were only of Zeir Anpin, but now, when the Mochin of Yesod came to Zeir Anpin, these NHY ascend and become HGT, and the Nukva is standing in Gevura of Zeir Anpin. And that's why he says, and she ascends in his Hod, meaning the Hod, the previous Hod, that is now Gevura. And it was clarified that this ascent of NHY to HGT is not important for Zeir Anpin himself, and for him they still are considered NHY, but with respect to Yaakov and Rachel, they are considered HGT, 

M. Laitman: (12:00) Meaning that the NHY of Zeir Anpin, where the Nukva is clothed, and that truly is the… that's where all the connection between Zeir Anpin and Malchut takes place, so now they get an ascent, they raise in a degree, obviously not towards Zeir Anpin itself, it never changes, he's always in Chafetz Chesed, but those are the clothings he has, that in that way, he can add the Nukva to himself and build in her an ability to mate with him on behalf of Yaakov and Rachel, on the degree of that she is already above his Chazeh towards his previous state, and that is called Netzach and Yesod compared to the present state towards Zeir Anpin, and Malchut when they mate is called that they are in Gevura, and the same left line when it ascends from Hod to Gevura, that's the left line. We are already starting to speak in three lines here. Ok, we heard it as much as we understand, but we heard that that's what's going on. So, we talked about the point of the Nukva, then ZAT, that is clothed on ZAT of Zeir Anpin, then she is clothed upon all the Ten Sefirot of Zeir Anpin, right? That is called building the vessels of Nukva, the posterior. Then we said that she descends back to a point after she built the vessels. Now, on behalf of the lights, how much does she receive? A point. After the point, she gets to Hod, Zeir Anpin goes down to Netzach, and then, compared to the previous state, it is called that she ascends to HGT, the first Hey. Ok, let's see how it happens. There's a lot of details here, the bowing of the head, all kinds of things. So, item 12. 

Reader: Item 12, next page, 1696. Item 12, the words of the ARI. 

Reading: (14:36) And the third is that she will be as great as him in the full degree of Panim be Panim, and she receives the lights of his first five when she is there above with them, 

M. Laitman: Above Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, 

Reading continued: and although she does not receive her lights only through Zeir Anpin.

M. Laitman: Obviously, could she ever get lights not through Zeir Anpin? Yes, we'll see later. So that's why, since she only gets it with Zeir Anpin. 

Reading continued: And his Keter will be bigger than her Keter. 

M. Laitman: No, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah, right, the Keter. 

Reading Article: And his Keter will be greater than her Keter, because he is greater and higher above than her Keter. 

M. Laitman: That's why we call it that she receives from him. Read item 12 again.

Reader: Again, 12. 

Reading: (15:35) The third is that she will be as great as him in the measure of his degree, Panim be Panim, face to face. And she receives the lights of the first five by being up there above with them. And though she does not receive her lights only through Zeir Anpin, his Keter will be greater than her Keter, because he is greater and higher up than her Keter.

M. Laitman: So, there's three states in Nukva, in the posterior and in the face, Ibur, Yenika, Mochin de Kelim, of vessels, and Ibur, Yenika, Mochin, of lights.

Reader: Previous page below, line the third. 

Reading: (16:27) And the third is that she will be great as he is in the measure of his degree, Panim be Panim, face to face, and receive the light of the first five when she is up there above with them. Meaning also the Partzuf of Gadlut, just like the Behina Bet, the second aspect above. And the difference is that here he speaks of Partzuf of Gadlut, of Mochin, of AVI, that are sufficient both for Mochin de Chaya for Zeir Anpin. That then Zeir Anpin does not lower his head, but rather he mates with the Nukva, Panim be Panim, face to face, in his own degree. And the Nukva is found to receive GAR when she is with them above, Panim be Panim, face to face. And what the Rav calls this GAR as the first five Sefirot, KHB HG, is because the GAR is a complete Partzuf of ten Sefirot. And it clothes inside the Partzuf of Yenika from Chazeh and below of his. In the way where KHB HG, with the upper third of Tifferet, are above all Partzuf of Yenika. And therefore, the difference from the Partzuf of Yenika to the Partzuf of Gadlut is considered the full five Sefirot KHB HG that are missing from the Partzuf of Yenika because he cannot clothe them. And everything we talk about here in these four aspects of Achor and Panim, the posterior and face of AVI and YESHSUT, is from the perspective of the Hitkalelut, the intermingling of the Netzach in the Hod of Arich Anpin and also of AVI, that then the Nukva can receive only from the aspect of Netzach, which is the aspect of Zeir Anpin, her husband. And she does not touch the aspect of Tifferet of Ima, which is Keter of Zeir Anpin, because Netzach of Ima is considered her upper. This means that she still does not receive her lights only except through Zeir Anpin, and his Keter will be greater than her Keter. Meaning, as is written above, as a result of the equivalence of the degree that came to the Nukva by the intermingling, the Hitkalelut of Netzach in Hod, and therefore she is obligated to receive from him and she cannot suckle from his Keter, which is the aspect of Tifferet of Ima, and she does not touch but the Netzach of Ima. And as a result, it is found that even on Shabbat, during Musaf, the addition, she cannot suckle from his Keter, she cannot receive from his Keter, truly, because the equivalence of the degree of all the Mochin of Shabbat is by the intermingling of Netzach in Hod, and therefore she is obligated to receive through Zeir Anpin her husband, and therefore they don't both use a single Keter. And all of this is only from the aspect of Mochin of AVI, but from the perspective of the Mochin of YESHSUT that comes to the Nukva by the lowering of the head of Zeir Anpin to the place of Ya'akov, there we see both of them using a single Keter. Meaning that the intermingling of Netzach and Hod takes place in the Sefira of Netzach. And the Nukva that rises to Netzach of Ima, equal with Ya'akov, and they both suckle equally from Tifferet of Ima. And they are using a single Keter. And this thing is customary only, or takes place, rather, only the first of the month on Yom Tov, but is not customary the rest of the days of the year, and even on Saturdays. 

M. Laitman: Just by awakening from above, that there's a sense, that's how it happens. We have to come back to that. I think maybe we'll go back to item 12, Inner Light. The inner state of Nukva when she reaches Gadlut.

Reader: Again, 

Reading: (21:18) the third is that it will be as great as his, in the measure of his degree, face to face, and receive the lights of his first five, when she's up there above with them.

M. Laitman: That Nukva will go above Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, and be in an equal degree with her, and receive all the lights from the degree of Zeir Anpin for herself. 

Reading continued: And that is also Partzuf of Gadlut, like that second degree mentioned above. And the entire difference is that here, he speaks of the Partzuf of Gadlut of Mochin of AVI, that are sufficient also for the Mochin of Chaya for Zeir Anpin. That then Zeir Anpin does not lower his head, but rather mates with the Nukva, Panim be Panim, face to face, in his own degree. And the Nukva receives GAR, when she is with them up above, Panim be Panim, face to face. 

M. Laitman: Meaning, they're both in an equal degree, and when they're in that kind of form, so that's when they mate, Zeir Anpin and Malchut.

Reading continued: And what the Rav calls the GAR, the first five Sefirot KHB HG is because the GAR is a complete Partzuf of ten Sefirot, and it clothes inside the Partzuf of Yenika, from Chazeh and below of his. In such a way that KHB HG, with the upper third of Tifferet, are above all the Partzuf of Yenika.

M. Laitman: We learned that once that we have the Partzuf of… Let's say this is Ibur, and in it the Partzuf of Yenika can grow, and in that, the Partzuf of Mochin grows. That all these Partzufim are one inside the other. This is Ibur, this is Yenika, and Mochin. So it's one, two, and three. That's clear, right? This is the way it grows, one inside the other.

Reading continued: And therefore, the difference between the Partzuf of Yenika and the Partzuf of Gadlut is in five complete Sefirot, KHB HG that are missing from the Partzuf of Yenika, because it cannot clothe them. And everything we're talking about here in these four Behinot, aspects, of Achor and Panim, posterior and face of AVI and YESHSUT, is the intermingling of Netzach and Hod of AVI, and also of Arich Anpin, that then the Nukva cannot receive except from the aspect of Netzach, which is the aspect of Zeir Anpin, her husband. And she does not touch the aspect of Tifferet of Ima, which is the Keter of Zeir Anpin, because Netzach of Ima is considered her upper. And that's what he means. She still receives her light only through Zeir Anpin, and his Keter will be greater than her Keter. Meaning, because of the equivalence of the degree that came to Nukva by the intermingling of Netzach and Hod. And as a result, she is obligated to receive from him, and she cannot suckle from his Keter, which is 

M. Laitman: From Tifferet, 

Reading continued: which is Tifferet of Ima. And she does not touch anything but Netzach of Ima. And because of that, we see that even during Shabbat and the additions, she cannot suckle from his Keter directly because of the equivalence of the degree of all the Mochin of Shabbat that happens by the intermingling of Netzach and Hod. Therefore, she is obligated to receive through Zeir Anpin, her husband, and therefore, they do not both use a single Keter, a single crown. And all of this is only from the aspect of Mochin of AVI, but from the perspective of the Mochin of YESHSUT that comes to the Nukva by the lowering of the head of Zeir Anpin to the place of Ya'akov.

M. Laitman: Below the Chazeh

Reading continued: There, they both use a single Keter, a single crown, meaning that the intermingling of Netzach and Hod takes place in the place of the Sefira of Netzach, and the Nukva that rises to the aspect of Netzach of Ima, equally with Ya'akov, and they both suckle equally from Tifferet of Ima, and they use a single crown. And this thing is customary only on the first of the month and Yom Tov, Good Day, but not during the rest of the days of the year, and also on Saturdays, as it's written there.

M. Laitman: (27:05) So, if Zeir Anpin is integrated between Netzach and Hod, obviously, Nukva just receives from Zeir Anpin, and for her, it's the upper one, and she knows nothing more than that, and she can suckle from Tifferet, which is Keter of Zeir Anpin. And if there is an integration of Hod and Netzach, then Nukva can even reach that same source where Zeir Anpin receives from. We'll study that. That's the whole part of the Kitrug HaYareach, and that's the point where the created being needs to know what he is b lacking in order to reach an equal state with the Creator, which that is the purpose of creation. That's why we put so much attention on it, and b talk about it, and actually, the whole wisdom of Kabbalah is directed to that point, because this is the whole matter, how we reach the degree of the Creator.
