Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. Inner Observation. #1

Reading Item 1. (00:16) “It’s already been explained that the primary factor…”

1. S. (04:45) He writes, the surrounding light is not revealed but by the emanation of the lower Partzufim as if the soul is actually born from another soul. Is there some kind of order of cascading of Partzufim?

R. Yes, yes, that's the way it is, just like you see in bodies of this world.

2. S. (05:26) Where he writes that light of that Partzuf, that new Partzuf that is born, is part of the surrounding light of the upper Partzuf because the surrounding light is revealed only through the emanation of the Partzufim and souls of the lower ones.

R. Yes.

S. What I didn't understand, souls, Partzufim, all those things, they are actually through inner light, what does it mean, why about surrounding light?

R. There's no inner light without surrounding light and no surrounding light without the inner light; they hold each other.

S. Because they're connected together?

R. Yes.

S. Maybe that answers why concealment and covering also come in one, is that also in the same place?

R. Yes.

3. S. (06:25) I'm always looking for the light and Kli and from that the question arises in me: When will the Kli serve the light appropriately, meaning through restriction, screen, and reflected light and the question is, when does this happen?

R. When the vessel is equipped with a screen and then with the help of the screen it can equalize with the upper light.

4. S. (07:02) How can we understand what a Rosh, the head, is?

R. Rosh. Everything that is in the Guf, the body, only without vessels that can actually work but only in thought.

S. How does the Rosh control everything?

R. By taking a decision. After it receives all the lights and knows about the whole Guf, the whole body, because the Guf is born from the Rosh, so it turns out that the Rosh knows what the upper one is and what the lower one is, and it is there in the middle and because of that it can decide how to equalize between them.

S. It's something that is a little not clear how, now according to what was written, that the screen is refined and rises back up to the Rosh? What happens there?

R. To its place. To its place. All the screens are in the Peh.

S. It's still not clear to me what is the Rosh and what for us is…?

R. Rosh is what thinks, feels, and decides.

S. For us to agree to build the Rosh, what does that mean? We in the Ten want to connect and build a Rosh.

R. You still don't have that ability because you're not beyond the restriction yet.

5. S. (09:06) He writes, the light of the new Partzuf that is born is part of the surrounding light of the upper, meaning what is received in the upper one is received in the lower one. Is that the meaning of it?

R. It can't be that if it's not accepted in the upper one it will be accepted in the lower one.

S. Okay, so what does it mean?

R. Read it again.

S. He says, “that light of the new Partzuf that is born is part of the surrounding light of the upper Partzuf”.

R. Yes.

S. “The new Partzuf is only revealed by the emanation of the creation of the souls of the lower ones. That means the light that is revealed is only within the Kli?

R. It wasn't received in the upper one, but it’s received in the lower one.

S. How is that if the upper one has no Kelim, how does the lower one have vessels?

R. No, it's not the matter of vessels that the lower one has better vessels than the upper one, they are worse, that's why he can receive another part of the light.

S. Is it like lesser light?

R. Yes, inferior.

S. Is this what we are calling the deterioration of the generations? Each time vessels that are worse come out and out and also lights are worse come out of it?

R. Correct.

6. S. (10:49) I wanted to ask about the principle that he writes, always concealment and revelation come in one.

R. Yes.

S. So, it turns out that there is no concealment, that we are actually concealment always.

R. There is concealment for the sake of revelation. If there won't be concealment there won't be revelation.

S. Why is the revelation so concealed?

R. It is not, it is the revelation towards whoever is in that action.

S. If they happen together then where is the revelation, because there's always concealment, he also writes in the continuation about that. He said the whole covering and concealment is a preparation for the revelation.

R. Right, that is the only reason it exists.

S. How do we use…?

R. The concealment?

S. The concealment for the sake of revelation. How do you make concealment become revelation?

R. We read in a lot of articles and in TES that through the restriction that the whole light was restricted and I am holding it so in according to as much as I can release the restriction the light starts revealing itself.

S. What exactly is the role of the concealment?

R. The role of the concealment is to build a place for revelation.

S. Without the concealment there is no revelation?

R. No, how can that be?

S. I simply just can't grasp the, if at the end we have to come to revelation, if the goal is to reach revelation.

R. Yes.

S. Then what? From the very beginning of the path of the development of creation there's always concealment in the system?

R. Yes, because if there won't be concealment revelation won't be felt either.

S. What do we discover, we’re discovering concealments?

R. We discover the concealment, and we are working in order to bring revelation to that place.

S. What does that mean?

R. We add reflected light.

7. S. (13:39) About the light that is in surrounding light in the upper one is received in the lower one. Is it not right to say that the lower vessels are more discerned to the light where they want to receive the light in a more scrutinized manner?

R. Yes.

S. The higher up Partzufim receives all the light but they can't scrutinize it all and there's kind of like this break towards the downwards. I mean the light is all being received but it can’t be scrutinized properly.

R. Correct.

8. S. (14:28) Actually revelation is not a quality that is contradicted or resists concealment it just completes the revelation?

R. They work in the same direction to reveal the upper light to everybody.

9. S. (14:55) I wanted to ask on the same matter, why the son Partzuf has less if it's meant to reveal the surrounding light of the upper one which is the light that is meant for the higher level of coarseness?

R. Correct. The son has a greater coarseness than the father and he reveals that coarseness by adhering to his father, the higher degree, and uses the coarseness and refinement of the upper degree.

S. The upper degree also lacks the corrected coarseness, is that not enough?

R. But in the lower one a greater coarseness is revealed.

S. The lower one has more Aviut?

R. It has a bigger concealment.

10. S. (16:15) The son of David doesn't come until all these happen in the body, so what does it mean that until all the souls come in the body?

R. That all parts of the will to receive will be revealed and upon them the vessel of Adam HaRishon was shattered. All those vessels will come and be corrected and connected and draw one light.

11. S. (17:14) You said that we cannot come to the building of the Partzuf in the Ten because we don’t yet have a restriction, we’re not yet in restriction. How do we have to come to that?

R. How do we reach what, I don't understand.

S. To reach both the restriction and the building of the Rosh in the Ten?

R. We restrict our common desire and only reveal the part that can work with the screen and this way, gradually, more and more, the desire that connects to the screen.

S. What does it mean that we’re restricting the general desire in the Ten?
R. We don't use the common desire in us but only to the extent that it can be below the screen.

S. What does it mean that it will be below the Masach, the screen, how will we use it?

R. A desire and upon it a screen.

S. Meaning that is using our general desire for the sake of the Creator?

R. Of course, it is a screen.

S. How do we build these two elements? Where on the one hand, we’re not using the general desire, and on the other hand, we can use it in order to bestow to the Creator. How to build these two elements in such a way in the Ten?

R. One is our egoistic desire. We don't want to use it, we only want to use the desire that, with it, we can fill our friends and through them the Creator. In this way we have to look at our actions.

S. Is it possible to somewhat scrutinize this in the Ten?
R. Yes, talk about it. Don't turn to me. Talk about it please. If you don't raise your hands, you don't say anything, what can you do?

S. Now let's say to scrutinize this common desire, the egoistic desire that we need to restrict. How to scrutinize it together?

R. You won't be able to scrutinize it together. You need to restrict the egoistic desires within you, one towards the other and in relation to the whole Ten.

12. S. (20:46) How is concealment revealed within the Ten?

R. In the Ten the concealment is revealed by us not being able to see our next degree and how to come near it.

S. In what form is this concealment apparent?

R. Form?

S. In what form does concealment appear? For example, a kind of hatred, is concealment?

R. No, no. Concealment is when there's some kind of action and now it's concealed from you. That's called a concealment.

13. S. (22:30) It says, “at that time the screen of the Guf is renewed with new coarseness, raising a new level of ten Sefirot in the Rosh, Toch, Sof.” Can you help me understand how the coarseness raises the level of the ten Sefirot?

R. When I work with some form of desire it has a certain coarseness, afterwards this desire starts becoming higher, greater, more egoistic so I start working with it and in this way, I ascend from one degree to the next.

14. S. (23:55) Is the revelation the goal or as a result of the refinement of the vessels?

R. Revelation is not the goal. The goal is to give the Creator contentment through the revelation.

S. Meaning through the refinement of the vessel we reveal?

R. Yes.

15. S. (24:24) The result of the refinement of the light is actually as a result of the records that are rising?

R. Yes.

S. Why is the coupling upon these records causing the development of the next Partzuf?

R. From the coupling of the records we have information to build the next Partzuf. That’s what you want to ask about.

S. Yes. I'm asking why is that way, what does it mean?

R. Because when we build a Partzuf we need records from clothing and records from coarseness. When those two types of records connect, we can perform a coupling by striking upon them and build a Partzuf. In this way we build all the Partzufim.

16. S. (25:37) What's the work in connection between the work in concealment and the work in faith above reason?

R. Working in concealment is that we are in concealment and keeping it, and the work in faith above reason is that we agree with the concealment and we want to extend the concealment, just in that concealment we want to build the force of faith.

S. They have a direct connection to one another?

R. Yes. You cannot be in faith above reason without concealment, meaning the concealment is where the Creator restricted Himself and the light departed is truly the beginning of creation. It is not the light that’s the beginning of creation, it is the darkness that is the beginning of creation.

17. S. (26:51) In the concealment we want to build the force of faith?

R. Yes.

S. Where is the revelation, what is the revelation?

R. The force of attainment is the force of revelation.

S. Concealment is revelation actually?

R. Yes.

18. S. (27:13) I don't understand this sentence: Not the light is the beginning of creation, but the darkness is the beginning of creation?

R. Yes.

S. What does that mean?

R. Because darkness points to the beginning of the vessels and the upper light where everything was filled with the light of Ein Sof, where he writes in part one, “Where everything was filled with the light of Ein Sof that has no boundaries.” That is not creation, that is still just a state in which the Creator established it that way but creation begins from the point of restriction, darkness, and then the place where there could be creatures and emanated that's actually where the creation begins, with the darkness.

S. What is the essence of the darkness?

R. The essence of the darkness is where a desire is revealed opposite to the light, contradicted to it, and conceals it and we need to understand that, specifically, thanks to this concealment we can gradually reveal the concealment and rise above it and attain it, meaning concealment is truly an assistive force.

19. S. (29:18) How does the vessel feel the presence and the intensity of the screen before it performs a spiritual action?

R. The Kli feels the presence of the screen as it has the force to deal with the concealment.

20. S. (29:48) Am I depicting my will to receive for myself through the work with each desire of my friends?

R. Yes.

21. S. (30:04) It is written that everywhere you find a concealment, know that that is a place of revelation too. How do those two contradicting things work together?

R. Because it depends on a person, because this depends on a person. Wherever there is concealment, which is the hiding of some spiritual state, there is also the ability to reveal it, to disclose that state and that only depends on the lower one.

S. It says, if we discover the deficiency between us and activate the force, we discover the upper one?

R. Yes. Without these two contradicting forces concealment, and revelation, we wouldn’t be able to fill our reality.

22. S. (31:11) In what way does the connection between us activate this process, that a place shows up that the Creator can reveal Himself in?

R. I didn't hear not this and not that. Repeat yourself.

S. In what way does the connection between us activate this process that a place shows up where the Creator can reveal himself?

R. The connection between us creates, like a new void, a new space.

S. We are ending our year and throughout this year we loaded you with a bunch of questions. If you could ask Rabash a question, maybe not you, maybe your students, what would be the most relevant questions for us to ask our teachers?

R. How can we connect and be similar to the Creator? That is the most important question.
