Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. The Gatehouse of Intentions (Chapter 4. #45)
(RADLA abbreviation means: Reisha d'lo yada ud'lo ityada)
Reading (00:10) “The Gatehouse of Intentions chapter 4 #45”
1. R. (12:13) Okay, we have here a few questions, well, let's start from close to here.
2. S. (12:30) You said that he associated the Rachamim and judgment, so he says everything is already created, what can we correct in the world of Atzilut, of judgment and mercy of heaven and earth, what is the order here?
R. The whole purpose of creation is to build a system that will correct the will to receive so we will be in intention in order to bestow. They will to receive is something we cannot correct is not corrupt nor it is corrected, it works, but we want when we want it to work in the intentional to bestow, then we need to build a system, a kind of a mixer that will mix the will to receive with intention in order to bestow in a way, in a measure, that they can come coexist, co-work and bring creation in its entirety with intentional to receive we will be with an intention to bestow.
S. Continue.
R. And that's what we are learning the way the Creator did it, how he prepared the system in the world of Atzilut, when in Atzilut the will to receive was corrected with the intention to bestow. Then all the desires that are clarified from the shattering and there must be a shattering otherwise it will be just one big will to receive and it will be entirely in order to receive by the shattering sparks of bestowal entered into that will to receive and then the will to receive will become mixed with the will to bestow or with the intention to bestow and then is possible, in gradual actions, to correct that will to receive with intention in order to bestow and so, to bring the entire will to receive to correction.
S. Then he says mercy and judgment, what was the connection when he says later on that all the work came from TNHYM in AK and all the judgment that is done there, he repeats it all the time, what does he mean the measure of judgment?
R. The measure of judgment is the will to receive but it's entirely in order to receive then it becomes mingled here with the intention in order to bestow and through this two opposite forces, bit by bit, they reach correction. Meaning the whole thing here is our work, it is not something that exists.
S.
R. We are not doing any work, we only ask the Creator to do the work and not that we perform it, we have no strength, wisdom, or brains to do this work, rather our only participation is the prayer.
S. By this it ends, the Creator will do the work?
R. In this the matter ends but the prayer has to be that you understand, feel, recognize that you will have to share judgment and mercy and only through your work they can connect and reach the mutual correction.
S. What is the most important thing in our work in order to create this Mercy or judgment? What is the most important thing in our action?
R. Annulment and submission.
S. If it's hard for me?
R. That means that you have a big evil inclination, and you have to do it according to its size.
S. But it is possible you are saying?
R. It is possible of course for everyone.
3. S. (17:16) I want to understand why is it that GAR is corrected through the lines while ZAT is broken and corrected through the MAN?
R. Because it is easier to correct GAR and ZAT is more difficult there are more egoistic desires there, so there is a different in the correction of and each and every Sefira, each and every part of the Partzuf and also in the process of the for the descent, everything that was a higher fell lower and it is corrected in a way that is very, corrected in a way that one depends on the other and one depends on the other and you cannot correct something above without correcting something below and you cannot correct something on the right without connecting something in the left and therefore the corrections are very, very complicated and we will learn about it.
4. S. (18:46) You said that we will learn this on ourselves, and we will read this text and Baal HaSulam writes it in a very nice way that a new Zivug corrected with Mercy in ZAT. When a Kabbalists reads such a text, what does it mean he goes through these states on himself?
R. He feels that this is what is happening in him, he feels that this is what is occurring in him.
5. S. (19:34) Again we talked about the importance of the Creator, but it says that he has to be in a way that I have to feel or understand something so what can you do when you don't understand, when you don't feel during the lesson? What should be my position with respect to the prayer?
R. Try to connect with the friends and with the text and ask of the Creator to get a little bit more understanding, feeling and for you to include in this.
S. Turns out that I'm asking for myself.
R. I know you want to be including them.
6. S. (20:29) Do the feminine and masculine qualities are determined in the beginning of the creation?
R. Yes.
S. And the qualities of male and female are related to receiving and bestowal?
R. I'm not sure if you are asking, men or women in this world resemble a beast.
S. He's talking about the male and the female.
R. I don't know what he means. I know that we are unable to separate men and women according to what we see with our eyes, if we're talking about the wisdom of Kabbalah these are the spiritual qualities.
7. S. (21:48) What's special about the 8th King?
R. It is the king of Malchut. King of Haddar and he's corrected, only he's corrected in a special combination with the other kings.
S. What is the correction of the lines?
R. Yes, yes, of course, through the connection of lines, all of our work is in the correction of the breakage and the correction of the line.
S. What is that?
R. Correction of the lines means that the left, right and middle line, all of the Sefirot are divided in such a way in each and every Sefira has three lines and a system in the ten, meaning in the soul has three lines and we have to each time, take into account these lines. How do they combine between themselves because each line age has its own direction, judgment, mercy.
