Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. #6 ("Then it wanted to bring the externality of the inner MA and BON")
Reading (00:19 - 03:45) #6 “. Then it wanted to bring the externality of the inner MA and BON in it outwards, and then all the phases of the inner SAG..” twice
Reading (03:50 - 14:01) Inner Light - #6. “All the inner phases of SAG, concealed in the inner MA and BON, ascended…”
1. R. (14:05) We’ll come close to the end of this, and also it's not too easy to learn from it, much; our audience today is not quite ready for it, so let's see.
2.S. (14:27) What is the difference between the inner and outer MA and BON?
R. One that works before and one works later, one is more important or less important; whoever’s internal and whoever clothes externally upon him, this is how we use these words of ‘internal’ and ‘external’.
3. S. (15:03) We are new young group and we have a desire to connect with the material, what approach should we have during the lesson so these words affect our feelings?
R. If you want the study to bestow upon your qualities then you need to learn this in a serious, persistent, way and constantly think how the study will influence our desires, because the main thing is where our desire will change. And inside the corrected desire that will come we’ll start to feel the spiritual worlds, the Creator, His actions.
4. S. (16:21) Something that is not clear: it says that “the refinement of the masach completely until it completes the masach of Rosh”. The question is how does the refinement of Rosh refine all the Aviut, I mean, we can’t advance without the Aviut?
R. But it’s the screen of the Guf that received with its coarseness in order to bestow, now it leaves this work and purifies, refines itself, and raises from Tabur to Peh. So now then lights that were filling this internality of the Partzuf emerge outward and they become surrounding ones until the next actions.
S. Can we describe it, somehow, to be able to connect it to our working the ten, some clue? What does it mean “the refinement of the Masach, of the screen, completely”?
R. When a person decides that he doesn’t want to use his desire to receive but only in desire to bestow or altogether it goes to restriction, doesn’t receive nor does he bestow.
S. And how does it change from the masach, the screen of Rosh?
R. The screen of the head, masach de Rosh, is where he doesn't receive, and therefore he becomes like the masach of Rosh.
S. Thank you very much
5. S. (18:09) In the studies we discuss raising MAN, can you explain what the acronym in this passage, Mayin Nukvim, ‘female waters’, means when it’s talking about raising MAN?
R. MAN is considered the raising of a deficiency, the raising up of deficiency, a big request, a prayer, that's called ‘raising MAN’. When the lower one appeals to the upper one and asks from Him from something, that's called ‘raising MAN’.
6.s. (19:02) There is something really interesting written here: on the name of HAVAYAH, it’s the result of the Masach of the screen, the including of the Masach of ROSH is included with both Nukva and it’s called, ‘the water of NUKVIM’, meaning Mayin Nukvim. What does it mean, that the screen is included with both NUKVIM?
R. There is the NUKVA of Malchut and of Bina, and this NUKVA is also, it inscribes in Bina, the NUKVA, and then it turns out we have Malchut of Bina and Malchut of Malchut . And these two Malchuyiot work, only Malchut of Bina works in the level of Bina, upon its coarseness, upon its intentions and Malchut of Malchut is already the true Malchut.
S. In our work, on our degree, on our level, especially today, we need to connect, how do I reach this MAN today?
R. You need to just be concerned with the connection between you, to the extent that we come closer to one another, to the extent to which we will have one intention, one desire, seeing the goal together, we will succeed at this. And without Bina, Malchut, it’s not important, and we have to include our hearts in order to want in this common desire to discover the Creator. The moment our hearts connect and you want to reveal the Creator, you will receive it, you will receive it, today is your day!
