Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6, Item 40. 

Reading Item 40. (00:25) “Initially the ten were simple self…” Twice. 

Reading Item 40. Inner Light. (03:26) The ten were simple self, comprised of…” Twice.

1. S. (10:06) If Hadar is Atzilut, so it didn’t come out on that coupling of Nekudim but only later on after Nekudim finished shattering, so the Masach refined itself. 

R. You're right, but here he probably wants to speak only about the root, but otherwise you’re right.  

S. He counts thirty-two, eight times four.

R. Yes?

S. And the last four are his, but he doesn't belong to it, so where does he get those four from, it should be seven times four.

R. No, a Partzuf is always ten Sefirot, not more not less.

S. Okay but there was Zeir Anpin and Malchut of Nekudim that was shattered and fell below the Parsa and broke. There are seven Sefirot there and then we say that all the sparks, the three hundred twenty are Mem. So, I don't understand how he reaches this calculation of 32 because it was seven that shattered, not eight?

R. Yes?

S. How did he reach thirty-two, after Hadar, it’s after the sin when all the shattering was done and only the coarseness of root and one that remained in the screen, that’s how the Hadar came out, and the rest of the correction.

R. Yes.

S. So how does that become thirty-two?

R. Because it was there but concealed.

Reading Item 41. (11:54) “Each of these ten Sefirot certainly contained all…” Twice.

2. R. (13:03) In other words, it is impossible to lead the world without the shells, without the wicked, without the vessels of reception, we should look at it again.

Reading Item 41. Inner Light. (14:21) “Contained all ten Sefirot, but in a mixture…”

3. R. Is it clear or not, it’s written beautifully, read it again, the last part.

Reading last paragraph again. (18:34) “It is impossible for the world to exist…”  

4. S. (19:17) There is this feeling every morning after the lesson, we also feel it, we feel like during the lesson we are with you, with the friends and we have power and we merged, incorporated in one another. But when we go out to the world, the feeling is that we’re falling into the world. 

R. Great!

S. He says he's good in the excerpt.

R. I just said, great!

S. How can we feel that it’s good?

R. By this you incorporate it from a new coarseness every time that is being renewed, and then you need to renew your connection. And then everything will be okay. The Creator does what He needs to do; the question what about you, are you doing what you need to do?

S. There's a connection we can do on Zoom, in the afternoon lesson, or is it inner work?

R. It's more inner work, yes, but everything will come to peace.

5. S. (20:48) About these kings, are they kings, Malchut with all the Sefirot of Akudim, and each Sefia has its Malchut? 

R. Yes.

S. So it’s a connection that wasn’t described before, the connection was always kind of by degrees, Keter, Hochma, suddenly he relates to Malchut as having some sort of connection between them?

R. Yes, of course, there's a connection between all the Malchuyot, through the first nine in each Malchut.

S. And so what broke there exactly, the connection between the Malchuyot?

R. Yes, the connection between all the Malchuyot.
