Part 2: Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Sulam Commentary, Item 52.

Reader: (00:04) We are studying the Sulam Commentary. In the Hebrew version, it's on page 216, and we're on item 52, Section 3, Emerge from One, One Exists in Three. Item 52

Reading: (00:31) Thus, it has been explained that the second phase in raising MAN of ZA to YESHSUT is to unite the two lines right and left of YESHSUT. They can only shine through the screen of Hirik in ZA (see end of Item 39), which completes the middle line in them and determines the two lines of Bina. This is considered that three lines emerge in Bina through the screen of ZA, called Hochma, Bina, and Daat.

The rule is that the lower one is rewarded with the full illumination that it causes in the upper one. Hence, since ZA, with its screen, caused the emergence of the three lines Hochma, Bina, and Daat in YESHSUT, ZA, too, is rewarded with the three lines, Hochma, Bina, and Daat. This is the meaning of what is written in The Zohar (Beresheet 1, Item 363): “Three emerge from one, one exists in three” (see there).

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:25) What is the Masach of Hirik in Zeir Anpin?

M. Laitman: The Masach of Hirik in Zeir Anpin is that it awakens the middle line.

Student: How is it built?

M. Laitman: As a result of two lines.

Student: How is the screen of Hirik in Zeir Anpin to Bina?

M. Laitman: It exists there in Bina. Zeir Anpin exists in Bina, rises to Bina. Otherwise, Bina cannot shine.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:25) It says that the ascent of Zeir Anpin to Yeshsut is to cause the unification of the two lines.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Why does Zeir Anpin want to unite the two lines of Yeshsut?

M. Laitman: Zeir Anpin is a result of ZAT of Bina, who gives birth to Zeir Anpin, and when he exists, he rises to it in order to unify the two lines, with him as the middle line. So, the presence of Zeir Anpin in Bina necessitates her to turn to Hochma, receive Hochma, and merge with it and that brings out the middle line. Zeir Anpin causes the middle line.

Student: But it says here that there are two ascents to Zeir Anpin, where they request from Hochma.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: In Bina, there's a state created where there are two lines, because once it was in one line.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Then it rises again in order to unite the two lines. What is that ascent to unite the two lines of Bina? Why does it rise there again?

M. Laitman: Because Bina herself is delighted in mercy, she doesn't need Hochma, and on the other hand, the deficiency in her comes from below, from Zeir Anpin.

Student: So, it already gets its deficiency. Why does it need to rise to it again and request for it so that it'll have a middle line? Because it as if received what it needed.

M. Laitman: No, that's not enough, because what he received was according to his desire, but in order to receive light from above, he must once again awaken Bina towards Hochma.

Student: The question is, what is this thing where the lower one requests something for the upper one?

M. Laitman: Being able to awaken in the upper one a deficiency that the upper one can't awaken by himself.

Student: So how is that? The attitude to the upper one is that it's great, it's higher, and all of a sudden there's this deficiency in the upper one. What is this action of feeling a deficiency or requesting for the upper one?

M. Laitman: He knows that if he rises to the upper one with a deficiency, the upper one can receive fulfillment from above, like how Bina rises to Hochma to bring fulfillment to Zeir Anpin below and Zeir Anpin is like a mini Hochma. So, Bina has to receive light of Hochma for him. VAK, illumination of Hochma, doesn't matter, but Hochma. So, Bina always hides that, yet Zeir Anpin forces her, necessitates her, so she discovers that she wants.

Student: So, for Zeir Anpin, it brings contentment to the upper one in that it requests something for her?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:31) He writes that there is a rule that the lower one is rewarded with the full illumination that it causes in the upper one.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: That if Zeir Anpin raises the MAN to Bina, Bina turns to Hochma, then receives the upper light and fulfills her vessels, the ZAT of her vessels, and she passes them on to Zeir Anpin. So, it turns out that Zeir Anpin that causes the deficiency in Bina towards Hochma, he awakens that with his deficiency and then Bina can receive Hochma, from Partzuf of Hochma, let's say, Sefira of Hochma, and pass that on to him, to Zeir Anpin.

Student: But if the light is in the upper one...

M. Laitman: Hochma, yes?

Student: Well, how can the lower one...

M. Laitman: He puts his deficiency into Bina, and the deficiency in Bina necessitates her to demand light of Hochma, and then passes it on to Zeir Anpin.

Student: The lower one, how can it grasp light that is in the upper one? It's the lower one.

M. Laitman: He belongs to the same vessels as Hochma, the will to receive. A desire for Hochma can reveal the Hochma. So, he raises himself with this deficiency to Bina, Bina receives from Hochma and gives to him.

Student: What does Bina feel?

M. Laitman:. That she lacks Hochma.

Student: When she receives Hochma, what does she feel?

M. Laitman:. That she has received what she wanted.

Student: Now there's a lower one. He caused Binah to receive the light of Hochma.

M. Laitman:. Yes.

Student: So, what does he feel?

M. Laitman:. He feels that he caused Bina to receive Hochma.

S. But he's the lower one, how can he feel the light filling the upper one?

M. Laitman:. Deficiency. The deficiency, through his deficiency that he raises it to the upper one, he feels what's in the upper one. What the upper one can give him.

Student: The deficiency of the lower one lets him feel what's happening in the upper one.

M. Laitman: Yes. What is he seeking? The light of Hochma. Which raises himself to Bina. Then he sees whether it's there or not and then he receives from there a different way of being related to himself. Whereas he awakens Hochma and Bina and Bina bestows to Hochma. Bina fills Zeir Anpin, which is in her and he receives Hochma.

Student: It's as if when he asked from Bina, why is that request, why does it make him ready to digest the light that comes to Bina?

M. Laitman: Because he wants the light of Hochma. His vessels demand filling of the light of Hochma and then he's integrated in Bina and Bina is obligated to receive the light of Hochma and from that, Zeir Anpin receives.

Student: If he would ask for the light of Hochma without being incorporated in Bina, would he receive it?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So, his incorporation in Bina is what lets him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does it mean that he's incorporated in Bina?

M. Laitman: A deficiency for the light of Hochma or the illumination of Hochma. Bina, which rises and is incorporated with Bina, raises to Bina the deficiency for Hochma and then Bina receives from Hochma the light of Hochma and passes it to Zeir Anpin.

Student: Why is he, why can he receive it now?

M. Laitman: Because he raised himself to Bina. He's incorporated by her. Now he has the ability to receive the light of Hochma in the Bina, in him.

Student: What does it mean to raise themselves to Bina?

M. Laitman: He raised himself.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: That he made an effort for his desires to reach or to be suitable for being filled to a filling that can come from Bina to Zeir Anpin.

Student: What does it mean that they're suitable?

M. Laitman: They're suitable in that the deficiency that it raises to Bina, which he raises, then this deficiency needs to bring a love to him, the light of Hochma and the part of this Hochma he receives and that is the result of what he receives from GAR.

Student: So, what does it mean that they're suitable or adaptable?

M. Laitman: They're suited according to their desire and the quantity.

Student: What does Bina want that he needs to adapt himself to her?

M. Laitman: Bina wants to fill the lower one with what the lower one wants.

Student: Obviously, the lower ones he wants but he's a lower one.

M. Laitman: But Bina protects it so that he will have the right desire.

Student: What is that? What's that correct desire?

M. Laitman: This protection watches over the lower one so he doesn't shatter. So, he doesn't receive from Bina more than what his vessels are capable of receiving in order to bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:53) If Zeir Anpin are the lower desires, we know there's the opposite value between lights and vessels. They ascend, they draw the lights. The higher light that expands remain upwards. So how can it be that Zeir Anpin receives the upper light now that is supposed to expand in the higher vessels?

M. Laitman:. He raises his deficiency to Bina and Bina can unify with Hochma and fill him that way.

S. But his vessels are lower ones.

M. Laitman:. The vessels, yes.

Student: The lower vessels. So, okay, they create the demand. So, the light that can expand downward is only to the vessels that Zeir Anpin awakened. It's not the vessels of an upper one. So why is it written that the lower one causes him to shine and the upper one, the lower one is rewarded too. So how, we used to say it's partial, but he said that everything he caused for the upper ones, he receives it too. So, it's not...

M. Laitman: Because he raises himself to the upper one, and the upper one does the work now of receiving the light of Hochma, which Zeir Anpin raises MAN to him. So, the upper one receives from the Keter and Hochma that light which Zeir Anpin asks for, through Bina and the light of Hochma moves through Hochma, Bina to ZON, and ZON, so we will see to what extent they receive it and break.

Student: So Zeir Anpin doesn't really awaken the exception of the upper lights that he demanded, he also awakens in the upper one lights according to his own vessels.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, is it right to say that what Bina receives from Hochma is only to the extent that the lower one asked for it?

M. Laitman: Yes, where would he take a different deficiency?

Student: So how can a lower one create the entrance of upper lights to the upper one, if the upper one will always receive only to the extent that the lower one is asking? How is a full degree built?

M. Laitman: The upper one can give to the extent in which the lower one wants, there's no limitation on that. But the lower one asks according to its abilities, according to its records at first and then after that there's also three and four, the true vessels of reception.

Student: That's not this process? When he's asking here, Zeir Anpin, so he's still not...

M. Laitman: Not for phases three and four, Zeir Anpin rises according to its coarseness and when it receives, after that there are, there's the coupling upon three and four.

Student: Is it a result of this action or is it another action?

M. Laitman: No, that is from the records that it has also three and four. Because it became small and everything is okay, meaning in order, meaning everything is interacting appropriately, then the desires awaken in it for the light of Hochma, like it has to begin with and then it asks for a filling from them and receives the fulfillment and from this filling it breaks. We're going to learn this soon.

Reader: (20:27) Item 53. So, the subtitle, The Root of Nukva of Zeir Anpin, Meaning the Malchut.

During the Katnut of the world of Nekudim, ZA, which is HGT NHY of Nekudim, had six vessels, HBD HGT (because from the perspective of the lights, where the small ones grow first, they are called HGT NHY and they lack GAR. From the perspective of the vessels, where the higher ones grow first, they are called HBD HGT and lack NHY of vessels (as written in the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Item 24).

Thus, it lacked NHY of vessels because of Malchut’s ascent to the place of Bina of ZA, namely the Sefira Tifferet, since HGT of ZA are KHB (see Item 9), on the upper third of Tifferet in the place of the Chazeh. And the two thirds, Bina and TM, which, in ZA, are called the two thirds Tifferet and NHY (see there), fell from its degree to the degree below it, to the worlds Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, below ZA of Atzilut.

For this reason, only HBD HGT of vessels through the point of Chazeh remained in it. The point of Chazeh is the Malchut that ends the degree in the place of Bina, and lowers Bina and TM, called TNHY, to the degree below it (see Item 16). This is why ZON in Katnut are always called Vav and Nekuda, since the six vessels HBD HGT in it are called VAK, meaning Vav Ktzavot [six edges], and the point of Chazeh, which is the Malchut that ends its degree is called Nekuda [point/dot]. (From the perspective of the lights, where the smaller ones grow first, they are called HGT NHY, and the ending Malchut is called “a dot under the Yesod.”)

Reader: (23:34) Item 53 again.
