Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah. #174

Reading Item # 174. (00:17) “We should know that the NRN..”

1. R. (01:20) Meaning we don't have anything special here or in addition to the world of BYA but only all in all, it’s all according to the deficiencies that are awakening the souls of the righteous.

2. S. (01:42) What is the NRN of the righteous? Where does it come from?

R. Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama of the same vessels that want to reach it and then later on maybe even to reach Haya and Yechida.

S. What do they come from, where does the creature called the righteous, where was it born, what is that?

R. They are considered to be the future actions of the Creator and they come from the fact that they need to correct their own vessels and it's lacking in the vessels of BYA. The fact that they raise MAN, they raise the vessels of Neshama, Haya and Yechida to a higher degree.

S. This is what they cause in the system but who are they on their own? When did they come to the playing field? Who are they these righteous?

R. NRN of the righteous are the vessels that are in the world of BYA and they need correction. And by the lights that are awakened they act on these vessels and they correct them.

S. How did these vessels arrive at the worlds of a BYA? Where do they come from?

R. From above, from the shattering. All of these vessels they fall below and we awaken in the world of BYA these lights, they shake, they awaken the vessels and they lift them to higher degrees.

S. The shattering of what, the shattering of Adam HaRishon?

R. Yes, it's all from the shattering.

S. Okay, so there’s the shattering of the soul of Adam HaRishon, now the broken pieces all of them are going to be called the righteous?

R. Eventually they're all righteous because they are awakened, but for the time being this is how we see them.

S. So first they are broken vessels, when the shattering occurred these are broken vessels and then something happens so later on they become vessels of the righteous. So what happens there that turns them from broken vessels into vessels of the righteous?

R. The light that we awaken, they influence them and then they start to rise and join the corrected vessels.

S. Who awakens these lights?

R. We do. We do by wanting our desires, our vessels to be corrected.

3. S. (06:00) ‘The Preface’ is very organized, we learned about all the words and everything and the shattering of the world that we learned about it but there's nothing about the shattering of Adam HaRishon. And suddenly this player comes in called the NRN of the righteous and also there’s we here which is another concept that we didn't really... Maybe you could put things in order so that we can understand how it is also related to the shattering of the worlds, for the correction of the world's.

R. No, let's follow Baal HaSulam, let's go according to Baal HaSulam.

4. S. (06:59) The parts of Nekudim that were broken and later on were into the world of BYA they’re actually the NRN of the righteous and everything below is not even participating in the game right now, right. Meaning the desires to be corrected, the whole of correction speaks about Nekudim that was broken, this is the entire correction right? So the parts that are now connected to Atzilut by being in BYA and these are actually the NRN of the righteous and there are those that are not connected to it until the end of correction, right?

R. Yes, okay, let's keep going.

Reading Item #175 (07:50) “Thus, it has been made clear...” - Twice

5. S. (16:30) There is a part here that I really need some verification. It says at the end of the paragraph, ‘Therefore, during the ascent of BYA to Atzilut,’ it turns out that from Chazeh and below there is neither Kedusha or shells but however from the Chazeh of Yetzira and below there are shells. So my question, Rav is: Is there anything in spirituality where there is space and there is nothing there? Is there such a thing?

R. No, there's no space but Chazeh of Yetzira is a special place, that’s where the sanctity seemingly ends and the Klipa begins. And that’s why the shell of Yetzira is the border, that’s how we define it.

S. Can we see it as a lie in our work like we read in the first article, this transition?

R. No, no, no.

6. S. (17:58) The fact that above Chazeh in Yetzira there's no Kedusha or Klipot (shells). What does it mean?

R. The world Yetzira is the middle world between Beria and Assiya and we need to see in it a few states in it. From Chazeh of Yetzira is the place of sanctity and below,it can't be sanctity. That's how we arranged the vessels that are there.

S. The fact that the worlds of Beria rise to the worlds of Atzilut, it happens thanks to the raising of MAN from the lower ones?

R. The raising of the worlds is also because there is a deficiency below and also there is the raising of the world's, not from the deficiency below, but because there are more reasons, raising the worlds, different holidays, and different dates. etc. We'll learn about it.

7. S. (19:45) He says here that even though they have GAR of Neshama from the world of Beria, however these GAR are only consider as VAK compared to the world of Atzilut because the light of Hassidim separated from Hochma. How does this this light of Hassidim come here? What is this light of Hassidim?

R. The light of Hassidim is the light that fills the vessels, that they have the quality of bestowal in order to bestow.

S. And the light of Hassidim is created by two forces or the light of Hassidim stands on its own?

R. What are two forces?

S. How is the light of Hassidim created?

R. The light of Hassidim is light that can be received from above according to vessels that are in them, they cannot receive more, but the light of Hassidim can fulfill them.

S. I know there's light of Hochma and light of Hassidim, so how does Hassidim come out of the light of Hochma? What is this action where suddenly the light of Hassidim emerges in the system?

R. We have vessels that cannot receive in order to bestow, but they're in the quality of bestow in order to bestow so it shines on them, the light of Hassidim.

8. S. (21:30) How is it possible, how can it be that in the spiritual world Yetzira and Assiya there's no Kedusha, no sanctity?

R. Usually when we say that there's no light it speaks of the lack of the light of Hochma. There is the light of Hassidim, it expands not like the light of Hochma, with the growth of the vessels and that is why it’s sometimes called the light of Hassidim, and we say about it, that there is no light.

9. S. (22:42) It says here that there are permanent places from Parsa and below and there is completely vacant of any light of Kedusha, sanctity. What are these desires that remain only in the worlds of BYA?

R. There is no empty desire, but there are desires that cannot receive in order to bestow, and even in bestowing in order to bestow could be, and then it turns out that, that's how it is that they are in the empty space.

10. S. (23:35) It says from the Chazeh of the world Yetzira and below it is the permanent place of the shells. Why is this permanent? It's like it can never be purified, so what does permanent mean, permanent shells?

R. No, that's the permanent place of the Klipot because the Chazeh of Yetzira and below they can appear. Above them no, that's why there's a difference of where the vessels are in relation to the Chazeh of Yetzira.

S. Can they never be purified?

R. We'll see. In the meantime it's the permanent area of the Klipot from Tifferet from the world of Yetzira.

11. S. (24:49) There's a sentence here where he writes that the Roshim doesn't shine to the Guifim,where what is this where the Rosh doesn't shine to the Guf?

R. Doesn't shine?

S. How does such a thing happen? What are they disconnected?

R. No, there's no light that goes on to the body, the Partzuf is closed and blocked.

S. And this prevents the shattering and thanks to this there's no shattering or what?

R. Well thanks to that there's a lot of things.

12. S. (25:26) The one that manages the entire process of connection is the world of Atzilut ?

R. Well I would say it's the head of heads.

S.  But the one that executes it, the implementation, execution, is the world of Atzilut?

R. Yes, that's the world of Atzilut.

S. There's two phases as I understand it here, the completion of the 10 Sefirot of the first kind and of the second kind. The first second kind that should happen is the place of the lower one So if Atzitlut did the completion of the 10 Sefirot of the first kind in the lower one rose to the face of the upper one there that received an example of how to complete itself with 10 Sefirot. Why doesn't it go in its place and take the place of the lower one. Why doesn't it finish its completion?

R. Who is he?

S. When the completion of the first kind of the 10 Sefirot begins. the Partzuf of Atzilut emerge and they start to complete themselves in the form of the lower one rises to the upper one … in the GAR of Atzilut and how to complete the 10 Sefirot, right?

R. Yes

S. What should be the example of the next stage, that this example that it received, the lower Partzuf goes to the lower one, why doesn't it do it?
R. Where will he get strength from?

S. Why is it shown an example for?

R. To go down you understand what Masach, what screen he needs to be in the same sanctity as above, now to be below.

S. What's there below?
R. There are much thicker courser vessels to deal with it in order to bestow, he needs to receive more strength.

S. Okay and in what stage? This is how the world of Atzilut starts to emerge,it starts with the very first example, completion of the first kind where the lower one rises to the place of the upper one. What happens next? It was given as an example, what next?

R. He receives the lights and he advances himself with these lights to be connected with higher vessels.

S. He is constantly connected to higher vessels?
R. Ho? It matters how righteous and so on.

S. Why isn't the completion of the second type occur? What's lacking for completing the 10 Sefirot in the second type will be completed. He says even in Atzilut  it's only in the GAR of Atziult. There's a completion of the second time but it doesn't go down to the ZAT of the Gufim, why not?

R. Why would it help? How will it help us if it goes down to the Gufim? We need either the shattering or the upper light that will enter the vessels in some way that they don't have the screen and will not give them strength.

S. Why does he do it? why does he enter?
R. Wait, wait he will.

S. In the world of Atzilut there's something that happens only in the Roshim and it doesn't go to the Gufim. What is this thing that is only in the Roshim and it doesn't go down to the Gufim?

R. Why does it continue to the Gufim to the bodies?

S. Yes, until now we didn't say that doesn't happen in the Rosh and doesn't go to the Guf that's the whole point but now in Atzilut there's this mechanism that something that happens in the Rosh and remains there so why did it happen the whole essence of the Rosh is to plan something for the Guf.

R. That they will be proper raising of MAN, it cannot happen any other way, what's in the Rosh spreads to the Guf that's from above downs but from below upwards that's how we work and there's no such thing that once in the Rosh doesn't spread in the Guf there needs to be spreading of MAN and demand, a serious one from the lower one, that will shake up the upper one.

Reading item 176: (30:41 ) “Since the additional…” (twice)

13. S. (33:40 ) Above the Hozer Yetzira there's no Klipot shells so there's nothing to correct there and Atzilut and Beria?

R. The Klipot are below the Chazeh to Yetzira or more accurately in the world of Assiya.

S. The work of the world of Atzilut the force the lower one wants to be corrected and to correct them? They don't do anything on their own?

R. They cannot do anything.

14. S. (34:31 It says that the Partzufim that were corrected by the force of the Emanator, can they just travel between all the vessels and others be flawed?

R. No.

S. What's this thing that the Emanator corrected the Partzufim that were not harmed that they cannot be flawed or harmed?

R. What Partzufim are you talking about?

S. Now he was speaking about the Partzufim that were made by the Emanator and they cannot be flawed by the lower ones. What is that, that the Emanator corrected vessels and they don't get flawed?

R. You're referring to the faces that cannot have any Katnut in the world? Even though the Mochin that were corrected, and established by the  emanator by the force of the emanator will not suffer any change, since they do not grow by the lower ones and in our hands are not flawed by them, so what are you asking?

S. What is this wrapping that the emanator put on them that they don't get flawed?
R. I don't know what the Emanator puts on them. He tells us that they do not depend on the work of the lower ones, they do not grow by the lower ones and our hands are not flawed by them, unrelated to the work of the lower ones.

S. What's their role in the system of correction?

R. We will see you later but in the meantime they have a big role because they contain with them all the light of sanctity.

S. That's for the future?

R. Yes. We will go back there on all those details.

Reading item number 177 (37:02) twice

15. S. (41:30) The world of Nekudim and the world of correction,it's male and female? it's MA and BON, they're supposed to complete each other?

R. Essentially all the world's complement each other all the worlds, however the world of Nekudim and the world of Correction no because. The world of Nekudim existed and then shattered and in its place or in its exchange for it rises the world of correction.

S. What are MA and Bon above the Tabur?

R. You can say ZON.

S. I'm trying to understand because until now I thought that everything that we are reading only happens in the world of the correction of Atzilut, Beria ,Yetzira,and Assiya but according to what it seems now that happens MA and BON below the Tabur that the Partzufim is the world of dots and then the BON somehow works with everything we know?

R. What's happening to you today is it the heat wave or, I'm asking this is because I see that there's like a wave that's passing through everyone.
