Part 2:
Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #36
Item 36 “After Partzuf AB de AK emerged, complete with….“ Twice
1.R. (03:01) This is for now what he can tell us there are many questions and this is very much brief as he mentioned this in only a few lines and we will learn more about it but for now what he wants to tell us what this whole development is of the world's from Infinity to our world he considered this sufficient here.
Item 37 (03:30) “Thus we have explained the emergence of the…. “
2. R. (05:06) Rav referencing drawing: What does he want to tell us here? He wants to tell us that there is a matter of the unfolding from Ein Sof down that we have Galgata, AB SAG MA BON All of these Partzufim are called the world of Adam Kadmon after that emerged in additional five Partzufim in Nekudim, world of AK and world of Nekudim. Then the world of Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya and this world, the development from above down to this world, to zero and when this development ends in each and every place the degrees have to reincarnate and give birth to the next degree, an upper degree gives birth to the lower degree and by that we come to 125 degrees from above down, then here the creation ends and from here on it begins to rise above. Here we only talked about the five worlds even when we say in this world, we are still talking about spiritual discernment, this world the way that we feel it now not in the forces of bestowing, it is not even discussed in the wisdom of Kabbalah. It exists somewhere down below but it is not that it is connected to spirituality because there is nothing that connects this world and the spiritual world. There is no desire that exists both here and there, the desire to receive here is not even the desire to receive in spirituality as in spirituality the desire to receive is aimed at the Creator and the desire to receive for us is aimed at our ego.
Item 38 (08:25) “First, we must understand why the ten Sefirot of AB….”
3. S. (12:44) What are two kinds of Malchut?
R. The coupling and the ending Malchut which ends the reception of the lights in the Partzuf, the coupling one is makes the connection with the upper light deciding how much it can and cannot to receive and the Malchut in the Tabur since that is it, no more than that I can't receive. According to the same example of the host and the guest, the guest agrees with the host, starts receiving from the host, blessing the host and then he receives a little bit and he stops any more than that it says I'm not going to receive but what about the rest? He says I can't, as I have a calculation that I'm going to receive from you only to the extent that I, inside myself feel I'm eating for you and not for me so the host can tell that I did everything for you but the guests can still say that I feel that I can't receive more because it is not going to be for you it is going to be for myself.
S. Malchut being there all the time determining the logic?
R. Of course Malchut entirely determined all of the fulfillment in the Partzuf and the stronger she is in bestowing the more she is going to receive and the weaker she is in bestowing the less you will receive.
4. S. (14:44) Why is it when a Partzuf purifies it has an offspring Partzuf that the lower one is on a lower degree?
R. Why is AB less than Galgata, why is SAG less than AB, why is each one is lesser than the previous one because the light comes to it and stabilizes it going through the previous Partzufim and this is why it weakens and this is why the light comes to AB from the surrounding light Galgata and it is much less than that light that makes AB smaller and shorter than Galgata this is also called the decline of the generations. SAG is even weaker and all of the degrees they build this way each next degree is weaker and smaller than the previous one. So, if I'm above downward over five levels of coarseness we have 125 degrees that emerge.
S. I thought that there are greater pleasures when the Partzufim are weaker and they should take care of them?
R. No every next Partzuf is weaker, this is the way of the unfolding from above downward in terms of the correction that we will speak about that happens after the whole development from above down we are going to talk about the corrections where we go from below upward and then the more that we arise from below upward the greater corrections when make above. This we will learn.
5. S. (17:32) Why does the Partzuf AB appear without the Sof as Galgata does?
R. It is entirely opposite Galgata inside, it doesn't have the degree to be in the Sof of Galgata,
S. In the drawing there is Sof of AB.
R. In the drawing there is Sof of AB, it also exists in the Toch of Galgata
S. The concept of above reason, can we see this in the drawing?
R. Anything you see in this drawing is levels of faith of a reason, degrees of bestowing, each and every Partzuf how much it can bestow this is why it is mentioned here, what is not in order to bestow has no depiction in spirituality and it doesn't exist here.
6. S. (19:07) What illuminates the lower one?
R. What illuminates the lower one is what shines from the upper one, the surrounding light of the upper one becomes the light of Ein Sof to the lower one.
S. If the other one has no vessels to receive, how can the lower one has?
R. The lower one sees nothing.
7. S. (19:52) What can we do to strengthen our forces of desire?
R. Only by connection in the group if we want to connect to the group, we want to build a vessel for the revelation of the Creator to bring him contentment and therefore we have to make an effort in connection and we can turn to the Creator and receive the strength from him, the strength of connection and his revelation that is the only way that we can realize ourselves.
8. S. (21:03) Can we say that Galgata before it brings the light back is Rosh?
R. At first yes, in the Partzuf she has desire and after this desire decides how it is going to get in contact with the light then it goes and divides itself into different portions where it is going to receive more or less.
9. S. (21:46) The cascading from above down which gives us the future structure will that be used by the upper one to awaken us through the same records that we build within the desire to receive?
R. Yes, we always receive from Infinity through this concatenation, all of our awakenings and through this whole ladder from above down within turn back to Infinity.
S. This is in addition to the records we get from the shattering as if we get from two places?
R. This we will learn, I still don't want to hear such details now, you know I don't like to jump as there are many people among us who haven't heard about this yet, why would you confuse everybody, think about yourself not your ego that you want to feel.
10. S. (23:09) How to measure the Partzufim correctly, all of them together or each one separately?
R. Each one is a desire of itself on the one hand and on the other they are connected to each other because they are all built by the upper light that developed through cause and consequence from above and below.
11. S. (23:46) In excerpt 38 on one hand we say that Malchut of Peh de Rosh determines the amount of light that comes?
R. Yes.
S. So about the last sentence the force that limit is completely concealed, why is the power of the limitation only in Malchut of Guf.
R. This way we'll talk about in the next lesson I can't go into it now, we first have to establish the general picture.
