Part 2: Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Sulam [Ladder] Commentary. The Root of Nukva of ZA, Meaning the Malchut, #53.

Reader: We’re reading in the writings of Baal HaSulam in Hebrew page 216 from the preface to the Sulam letter commentary in item 53. You can find the study materials in Sviva Tova and in the Arvut. You can send questions there. Anyone asking a question here in the study hall is asked to stand up, hold the microphone close to his mouth, and speak loud and clear. Title: The Root of Nukva of Zeir Anpin, meaning the Malchut, Item 53.

Reading: (00:36) The Root of Nukva of ZA, Meaning the Malchut - Twice

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 Tiferet, 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 Tiferet 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.”)

M. Laitman: Is that clear or not? You have to read it again.

Reading: (03:39) The Root of Nukva of ZA, Meaning the Malchut.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:30) The point of Chazeh, the dot of Chazeh, is between the upper third of Tifferet and the lower two thirds   

M. Laitman: The point of Chazeh is it’s the upper third of Tifferet   

Reader: So again, we’re reading Item 53 Heading: The Root of Nukva of ZA, Meaning the Malchut, 53.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:15) Why does the Sefira of Da'at complete the deficiency, the lack? 

M. Laitman: Where do we get the Sefira of Da'at? 

Student: It comes to us because we want to know what is happening to us.

M. Laitman: I'm asking, where do we get the Sefira of Da'at? It doesn't exist there initially in the number of Sefirot. 

Student: It comes in order to complete the lights for the purpose of the vessels. 

M. Laitman: Where does it come from, what is it made of? 

Student: What is it made of? It is made of the Rosh of Arich Anpin.

M. Laitman: What is it doing in the Partzuf?

Student: It causes it correction. 

M. Laitman: You respond in such a way that we can't understand anything.

Student: I didn't hear you.

M. Laitman: You respond in such a way that you cannot understand anything. 

Student: Okay, maybe others learn that you and I understand. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:59) Here, he speaks about the world of Nekudim and then he says that the vessels inside of the degree are in Zeir Anpin of Atzilut. And the vessels outside of the degree are in the worlds of BYA. Does he mean places not worlds? 

M. Laitman: He receives from these vessels. From the vessels, the light that passes through the vessels shines later on through them. 

Student: Here, he's speaking about the world of Nekudim as well as the world of Atzilut and BYA, that one shines inside the other?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:53) The question you asked the friend where does the Da'at come from? It's the incorporation of Hochma and Bina.

M. Laitman: I can't hear today.

Student: You asked the friend where does the Sefira of Da'at come from? It's the incorporation of Hochma and Bina. 

M. Laitman: The Sefira of Da'at comes to us from the incorporation of the vessels of Zeir Anpin and Bina.

Student: It's the middle line of both of them, of Hochma and Bina? 

M. Laitman: We'll soon see it.

Question (Kyiv 3): (13:47) What does it mean that HGT of Zeir Anpin are KHB? 

M. Laitman: According to the vessels, what is Zeir Anpin: Zeir Anpin is a small Partzuf, as its name implies, Zeir Anpin. And its first three vessels are from HGT, and when it receives Gadlut, greatness, adulthood, in its vessels that are KHB HGT. HGT becomes KHB and that's how it divides into nine Sefirot, that's it.

Student: They also ask, does the Sefira of Da'at belong to the GAR?

M. Laitman: Yes, the Sefira of Da'at belongs to GAR, yes, becomes KHB.

Student: Is it actually a bridge between the Rosh and the Guf? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:20) Here, we're talking about the ten Sefirot of Zeir Anpin, when the general Malchut wants to rise to Bina and equalize with it, right? So, what's the difference between Malchut of Zeir Anpin and the general Malchut? 

M. Laitman: Malchut of Zeir Anpin, simply, concludes the degree of Zeir Anpin; and the general Malchut concludes the entire Partzuf. Everything that expands from Keter down to her.

Student: We're talking about the ten Sefirot of Zeir Anpin, when the general Malchut wants to perform some act of equalizing? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:16) Baal HaSulam describes to us a system of relations between vessels and lights. And I wanted to ask, the more a person, sometimes if he understands the system better, he remembers better these relations and the responses. I wanted to know if this can help a person understand what the Creator wants from him?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: Now that we're learning about the spiritual system that Baal HaSulam describes. Sometimes a person can understand the system, the connections and reactions between the lights and the vessels and can better follow what Baal HaSulam describes. The question is does this understanding help a person understand what the Creator wants from him in reality? Can he understand the Creator in reality through understanding this system?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course, specifically, through the system. 

Student: How does it help him, why does he understand the Creator in reality through this? 

M. Laitman: Because now, reality will be entirely aimed towards correcting the lower one. And that's why a person is more qualified to connect to the upper one on behalf of the lower one.

Student: Does that mean that any situation that comes to a person in reality, he'll be able to better understand what's required of him? What should be his correct response? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:41) This is the two-thirds of Zeir Anpin fell from their degree. Basically, he's restricting the two-thirds? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Why is it regarded as falling? 

M. Laitman: Because they lost their height, because Malchut controls these vessels. 

Student: What does that give to the lower ones? 

M. Laitman: To the lower ones, later it gives them so that these vessels that have fallen receive correction, they rise above. And can then be in the state of Gadlut, they can be connected to the vessels that were with them during the time of Katnut.

Student: That's the intention of the upper one to begin with, by restricting? 

M. Laitman: Yes, certainly. What are all these restrictions for? 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:05) What is the quality of the point of Malchut that rises to Bina? What does it mean that it's a dot or point?

M. Laitman: It's a point or a dot of deficiency in Malchut and when it rises to some place, then in that place she brings along her deficiency. 

Student: The deficiency to receive?

M. Laitman: Yes, a deficiency to receive?

Student: When she becomes like a dot, does it mean it's something very small or not powerful, or what?

M. Laitman: No, that's actually powerful, and not small, but it's the beginning of the building of the vessels of Malchut. 

Student: What's the connection between Yesod and the point of Malchut? Do they take up the same place, does it happen in the same place, or? 

M. Laitman: Yesod belongs to the first nine, and Malchut is Malchut, which receives from the first nine. 

Student: Is it in the same place or is there a difference between them? 

M. Laitman: There's a difference between them because Yesod belongs to the upper degree, the upper Partzuf; and Malchut belongs to Malchut, the lower Partzuf. 

Student: Before that, when you talked about Da'at, does it stem from the raising of MAN of the lower one, can you say it this way? 

M. Laitman: Da'at belongs to the raising of MAN? No, Da'at is altogether a Sefira which is already from the beginning of Nekudim, there. 

Student: The question is when we talk about raising MAN, does it all stem from Malchut? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But not that point of Malchut, the previous Malchut, right? 

M. Laitman: Malchut of the first restriction. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:38) There's something I can't understand about the system of Sefirot. We learn that the created being performs some restrictions, meaning Sefirot fall down, and then they are corrected and rise. How can it be that when something is not corrected, it falls lower down, meaning into greater corruption, and then it becomes corrected? How does that lead it to correction? 

M. Laitman: Because beforehand it didn't stand out and now it does stand out, its corruption. And that's why it itself is included in the upper light and that's how it comes to correction. 

Student: So, the purpose of the fall of the Sefirot is in order to, for what, to emphasize the corruption?

M. Laitman: In order to show the corruption.

Student: To show the corruption, so what's the action that a created being can do from there, when he sees the corruption better? What does it do? 

M. Laitman: To the extent in which he cannot agree with the corruption, then he has the power to turn to correction, higher above, to its degree or Partzuf.

Student: It encourages him to raise MAN?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can we learn, can we project from this thing that we read about happening in the Sefirot to our situation? 

M. Laitman: Of course, yes, if we receive a descent, we need to strengthen specifically that it all comes in order to raise us, to bring us to an ascent.

Student: That means that when a person is in a descent, he has to, kind of, introspect and understand basically what is the corruption, what is so wrong. And ask about this, and this is really the Creator's help in helping him to correct. Precisely that he lowers him down. 

M. Laitman: As it is written, there was no greater joy before him than the day that heaven and earth was created. Where the heaven that can fall down to the land, to the earth, raise with them the coarseness on the land and they can correct in Bina.

Student: I want to ask in another direction, maybe it's the wrong direction: We often see that reality around us becomes more and more extreme, more and more broken, divided, as we see it. What's required of the created being so that this divided reality will not be broken and corrupted even more but will begin to correct?

M. Laitman: Meaning, you feel the shattering now, so try to, according to the correction, bring the upper light to perform corrections for you, that's it, simple.

Student: Now, I'm asking about the situation in Israel, in our country. We see that we are in growing extremism and separation within the nation. Within certain factions and groups, there's a shattering that's being revealed. It doesn't sound like people are looking for a correction now. They’re looking to collide with each other and become even more separated, at least that's how it seems. Can a group like Bnei Baruch, like us, who are going to a Congress in two weeks. And maybe they can do a concentrated prayer, can we help outside of us in the nation? Can we pray that they will have correction or will they at some point correct all those separations being revealed? Will they have to correct themselves?

M. Laitman: We together with them will have to work on the correction, on the correction, on our correction of the people of Israel in in general. And then the people of Israel will, will correct in its address to the Creator, it will correct the corruptions.

Student: But it will not help for us to pray for them and they at some point will have to pray, by themselves. 

M. Laitman: We need to pray for the whole world in which also all the nations are included and with all their states, 

Student: What's required of them? 

M. Laitman: To understand each according to his ability, the corruption. And to, somewhat, attribute themselves to the correction. There's some kind of quote there, “the Creator has done, when He does with us, we were, we delighted as the Creator did it with us”. Alright, there are no more questions, so why don't you read 54.

Reading: (29:08) Item 54. 

For this reason, Malchut took all the vessels in BYA into her own domain, which is the point of the Chazeh. This is because this point took the vessels of TNHY of ZA out to BYA. Also, she returned those vessels to the degree of Atzilut when the Gadlut of Nekudim emerged, before they broke. This is because during the Gadlut, the ending Malchut declined from the place of the Chazeh back to her own place, under the NHY of Kelim the vessels of ZA. Then the vessels of Bina and TM that fell to BYA, which are TNHY, rose back to Atzilut. And since ZA acquired the complete TNHY of vessels, it had lights of GAR (see Item 19).

Since there is no absence in the spiritual, it is considered that even now Malchut remains in the place of Chazeh of ZA as before, and that only the force of judgment and Sium [ending] in her descended to the point of this world. Hence, those vessels TNHY of ZA that were under its authority during the Katnut, and now returned and united with ZA, unite with her during the Gadlut, as well, after they have been united and completed the TNHY of ZA.

Also, they become her lower nine Sefirot, since the point of Chazeh, which is the root of Malchut that she has had since the time of Katnut, has become Keter. And in the three vessels NHY of ZA, each vessel was divided into three thirds. The three thirds of Netzah of ZA became for Malchut, Hochma, Hesed, Netzah. And the three thirds of Hod of ZA became for Malchut, Bina, Gevura, Hod, and the three thirds of Yesod of ZA became for Malchut, Daat, Tifferet, Yesod. Thus, these TNHY of ZA that rose from BYA during the Gadlut and united with its degree, causing its GAR of lights, unite with Malchut, too, and become her nine lower Sefirot in vessels and the first nine in lights.

M. Laitman: Is everything understood about that? 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:25) It seems what is written in this letter is that Tzimtzum Bet, the second restriction, is never canceled because the Sefirot are divided, so Malchut is always the first from what we read. Is it right to say that Tzimtzum Bet becomes canceled because we know that Tzimtzum Alef does not disappear? 

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: Is it correct to say that the second restriction becomes canceled?

M. Laitman: The second restriction?

Student: At the time of Gadlut. 

M. Laitman: During Gadlut, the second restriction disappears. 

Student: But, according to what he writes, here, Malchut is always first, there.

M. Laitman: Where?

Student: I'll have to read now. Okay, I'll look, I'll look for it. The point of Chazeh, it says.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:29) Does the world of Nekudim continue to function as a transition of light for the worlds of BYA? 

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: Can light shine in BYA?

M. Laitman: In the upper of light, you're meaning the light of Hochma?

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: No. 

Student: What happens in the worlds of BYA when the world of Nekudim enters the state of Gadlut?

M. Laitman: It has nothing to do with it. 

Student: Because the world of Nekudim shines in them.

M. Laitman: But, not in a direct manner, the worlds of BYA, when they emerged, they shattered. And after the shattering, they already begin to be sorted in return in all kinds of ways. Part after part, degree after degree.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:15) This is more concerning the intention while reading. He describes many operations, here, divisions, it goes up, down, never mind. Is it good to remember the engine of all these operations? That there's an emanator who loves the emanated being and we need all these operations in order to express some love? Because I know for myself that if I want to do something towards someone, you need to care about him, you need to even love him, want to help him. So, it's much more so, here, because all these operations build reality. So, is it good to remember this engine, can it help? 

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, continue and it will help.

Student: Because I still can't connect all the?

M. Laitman: It's not too bad, there's many more like you like that. 

Student: Is there a way to bring it closer? 

M. Laitman: It will come.

Student: So, only to absorb, that's it?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: Why is this study done like that? If you know what's happening here, what, could you change something? I mean, even if you know what's going on here, what the Sefirot, what the structure is. What could you do with it? 

M. Laitman: You could do.

Student: But why, it's a structure of reality, no? 

M. Laitman: You yourself could do it. As you incorporate with this reality, this reality is inscribed in you. And then by all kinds of changes and efforts that you carry out, you'll be able to.

Student: What changes, it's an absolute structure. You're not moving Sefirot more from place to place.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, specifically.

Student: It's a fixed reality, what are you moving, here? If I know that there are atoms that build this table, for example, it doesn't mean I can change this. It's fundamental, it's a basis in nature, I can't do anything with it. 

M. Laitman: You're saying it just like that, it's not correct. You can change all the parts in accordance with your attitude.

Student: There are basis, fundaments, that don't change. There is Malchut that there are nine other Sefirot and it doesn't change. Even if I know that it exists and feel it, it won't change.

M. Laitman: You're saying like that because you don't feel, yet, the extent in which these change and by what they change. And what we can do in considering them and even defining the changes in them. 

Student: We. 

M. Laitman: We, you and me, will organize the world!

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:46) He's dividing the bottom part into three new connections. What causes this new form of connection? 

M. Laitman: The form of connection changes in order to lead to corrections. As you take into consideration these connections, you will cause corrections. 

Student: This arrangement he is describing, does it stem from the beginning of the Gadlut of the world of Nekudim? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So, there is like an intermediary stage between the beginning of Gadlut until the breaking, which is this arrangement. And only after it's arranged in this way, the breaking can begin, something like that? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:03) Can you explain what it means that the nine Sefirot of Zeir Anpin in Gadlut became nine Sefirot of Malchut, how does that happen? 

M. Laitman: Malchut is incorporated in Zeir Anpin and can use its structure in certain limitations. But Malchut, which had nothing before and altogether was not a part of creation. Now, she receives the same order and the same ability like every other part in creation. 

Student: So, its character, its nature, completely changes now. It's a new Malchut, it's something that didn't exist before.

M. Laitman: Yes and no, well, all that we learned so far, we learned about Sefirot that are above Malchut. And now we will learn how Malchut is incorporated in them and uses them. 

Student: That's basically the good, the main thing that happens in the second restriction. That Malchut is incorporated in the Sefirot above her and then she can bestow. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:42) A question about the same topic. He says, because there's no absence in the spiritual, it's considered that Malchut remains in the place of Chazeh, of Zeir Anpin, as before. And therefore, the same vessels of TNHY of Zeir Anpin that were under its authority during the Katnut and now returned and united with Zeir Anpin unite with her during the Gadlut, as well. So, the question is during the second restriction itself, when she controls the vessels of TNHY, what connection does she have with them other than determining that they cannot be used? What's her connection with them in that state? 

M. Laitman: We will see soon, we will discover the extent in which Malchut connects with these vessels. And these vessels are included in her, and they become a part of. 

Student: That's the question, how are they incorporated in them because she determines that they can't be used now. She ascends to Bina, so her relation to them is, they cannot be used, this is basically the second restriction. Afterwards, when the second restriction is canceled temporarily, and there is Gadlut, she acquires from them something that existed before, and now she builds from them nine Sefirot. She herself is built.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How, by darkening some of their desires, is it suddenly possible to build something with them? 

M. Laitman: Because then she can connect to the Sefirot above her. Even though she doesn't use some of her forces. But with the rest of the things where she can connect to them, she participates.

Student: We're talking about those vessels she didn't use and they become her nine Sefirot afterwards.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: How, by not using, is it possible to acquire vessels? 

M. Laitman: She'll use them later, during Gadlut, but now, in order to incorporate with the upper one. And then being incorporated from the upper one, then she can perform such actions. 

Student: Right, but at first she says, we can only use Galgalta, we can't use AHP. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What kind of connection is it to the upper Partzuf? What do you acquire from the upper one in that state?

M. Laitman: When Malchut enters the vessels of the upper and becomes the concluding Malchut for Galgalta, that's Katnut. 

Student: That's Katnut, so, in Katnut you can use the Galgalta, you can't use the AHP.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, the connection to the vessels of the AHP is only, it's impossible to use you. 

M. Laitman: That's a lot because she feels all the lights that come to the Galgalta ve Eynaim and she doesn't enter into the common work with them. But she stands as the Sium at the conclusion of the degree. 

Student: This is regarded as acquiring these vessels?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It's not clear what she acquires by not using them. There are desires. She doesn't use them. What can you learn from them? What can you receive from them in such a state? 

M. Laitman: To incorporate with the vessels. 

Student: What is incorporation?

M. Laitman: It's the incorporation where Malchut is not yet a Partzuf that is at work. But it's a Partzuf that is incorporated with the upper nine and it's a Partzuf. Even though she can't use the first nine but somewhat she is nevertheless belonging to them, or the first nine belong to her. 

Student: Then comes Gadlut to the upper one and those vessels that she restricted, she now turns into her own vessels, all of a sudden. How does it happen that she can suddenly turn them into her bottom nine? 

M. Laitman: The light of AB SAG. She needs the upper light in order to correct these vessels in her. 

Student: In other words, she didn't use them and now thanks to her not using them, she can. I'm asking only about that connection, how come she doesn't use, and precisely, because she didn't use them, now she can turn them into the bottom nine?

M. Laitman: Let's read. “She begins to build her Partzuf”, as it is written in item 53. “TNHY of Zeir Anpin, at the time of Gadlut, brought forth to the GAR of lights, and then they connect to Malchut as well, and became the lower nine Sefirot. In the first nine of lights,” that's the end of 54. And 55, read please.

Reading: (49:44) Item 55. And you find that the root of Nukva of ZA is the point of the Chazeh, which is not absent in it even during the Katnut. And it is called by the name Keter of Malchut. These vessels TNHY of ZA that fell to BYA during the Katnut and return to Atzilut during the Gadlut divide into two Partzufim: ZA and Malchut. This is because they serve as TNHY of vessels for ZA and HBD HGT NHY of vessels for Malchut.

This is because they serve as TNHY of vessels for Zeran-bin and Chabad HGT NHY of vessels for Malchut. 

M. Laitman: Okay? Well, it's like this, it's not yet clear precisely how to see this, and where this is used. But nevertheless, we somewhat have come to item 56. Let's read 56, as well. 

Reading: (51:13) Item 56. From the Chazeh of AZ and Below, It Belongs to Nukva.

This yields the rule that from Chazeh of ZA downward, that is, the vessels TNHY of ZA, are considered Malchut, called “the separated Nukva of ZA.” This is because all bottom nine Sefirot of Malchut are made of these TNHY of ZA after they unite with it during the Gadlut. Also, we thoroughly understand what we say, that in Katnut, ZA and Malchut are in the form of VAK and Nekuda, meaning HBD HGT of vessels and Nekuda of Chazeh. ZA lacks GAR of lights because of the absence of NHY of vessels, and Malchut lacks the first nine Sefirot of lights due to the absence of the lower nine in the vessels.

Thus, it has been thoroughly clarified that the root of the Nukva of ZA in Katnut and Gadlut is from the Katnut and Gadlut of the world of Nekudim. Although the vessels of Nekudim broke, they still returned and were erected in the world of Atzilut in both these times of Katnut and Gadlut. Thus, both ZA and Malchut of Atzilut are VAK and Nekuda in Katnut, as in the Katnut of the seven Sefirot of Nekudim.

At that time, TNHY of ZA of Atzilut are fallen in BYA, and this point is the root of the Nukva. During the Gadlut, they return to their degree in ZA of Atzilut and complete NHY of vessels to ZA and the lower nine of vessels to its Nukva, which is Malchut, as in Katnut and Gadlut of the world of Nekudim. Thus, these TNHY of ZA from its Chazeh down are the roots of Gadlut of Nukva.

M. Laitman: Alright, well, we generally understand what the picture is.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:11) I think I received an answer to the question I had before, where he says here that Malchut is a dot in the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin during Katnut. He writes, Malchut lacks the first nine Sefirot of lights due to the deficiency of the lower nine of vessels. Meaning what she receives in Katnut is the deficiency for the vessels, and therefore during the Gadlut, she can acquire these vessels, because actually in Katnut, she's included, she's acquiring a deficiency for the vessels. 

M. Laitman: Yes, she feels that she's standing at the Chazeh.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:59) Are these corrections in the general Malchut or the Malchut of Zeir Anpin?

M. Laitman: I think Malchut in Anpin is in the end the general Malchut.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:28) How do I sit in the lesson and don't understand all these branching? And even when I manage to understand something, it branches to some other direction. 

M. Laitman: Okay. 

Student: How do I, as a creature, let's say, or want to be a creature, how do I assist the Creator in this process? In this process of the ascent of the worlds? The moment I identify that I'm corrupted, how do I help the Creator move through this process? 

M. Laitman: You are willing to annul before what the Creator requires of you, that's it.

Student: Which is? 

M. Laitman: It's called, annulment of existence. 

Student: Do we have to agree with it, to ask for it?

M. Laitman: Yes, you want the Creator to perform on you all those operations, corrections, that all the edges of the soul need. Yes, and then you can make Zeir Anpin Malchut copulate, use those corrections. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:14) Those of attainment, they compare their vessels between the feeling, meaning their attainment and their feeling, kind of equalize, yes? They manage to correct the vessels and then they have the, well, and we, before the attainment. What equalizes between us, our efforts to nullify? Where do we equalize, we don't have vessels.

M. Laitman: We are in the same degrees, although we don't attain them. Yes, but we are there and we will remain there until we can, in potential and in practice, perform the same operations that we read about in the book.

Student: The vessels, our vessels of reception, we try to restrict and nullify because we're trying to be in some kind of common effort.

M. Laitman: Well, according to what we read, yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:40) Gadlut of the world of Nekudim was by the records of phase four that was revealed. 

M. Laitman: Four, three, so?

Student: Okay, what causes Zeir Anpin and the dot of BYA to enter into a state of Gadlut? 

M. Laitman: The records, the broken vessels, what should we have in order to build a Partzuf?

Student: Is that the raising of the MAN of NRN of the righteous, can we say?

M. Laitman: That, too, yes.

Student: It's also from below upwards and also from above down? 

M. Laitman: Why from above downward? Only raising MAN from the Toch and Sof to the Rosh.

Student: So, all the states of Gadlut, like the ascent of the worlds, doesn't happen from below upwards?

M. Laitman: The breaking of the worlds? 

Student: The ascent of the worlds. 

M. Laitman: The ascent of the worlds, what state are you talking about? In short: It is through the ascent of the vessels from the breaking. In order to correct them, the worlds have to be in an ascent, more than the usual state.

Question (Woman USA): (01:00:49) For women you say, they're asking, I heard that you said that we have the ability to change the world. Does that mean that until we learn all TES, we won't be able to change? 

M. Laitman: No. It has nothing to do with knowing TES, The Study of the Ten Sefirot. It has to do with how much a person wants to belong to the operations of the corrected vessels. He wants to be incorporated in them, he wants to be like them. This is why we learn, it's not the smart one who learns, but those who are incorporated in the internality of the corrections. He is the one who performs the correction.

Question (Novosibirsk): (01:01:42) How to be impressed by the questions of the friends that I don't feel or understand? In what should the effort be in order to truly start envying them?

M. Laitman: I should depict to myself, I must depict to myself, what states what states they want to achieve. What are they, what do they envy, what do they feel, upper states that they feel by learning in the upper vessels. And I want to copy their behavior on myself as much as I can. Even though I say I can't, still, it's like a little one wanting to be like the grown-up. So, what it does, which is completely not the same action as the grown-up does, but as if. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:03:07) Can I scrutinize something from item 54 that we read? 

M. Laitman: Ah, that's far away, we're way ahead already.

Student: It's on the same subject. 

M. Laitman: The same topic? We always have one, the same topic. 54, well.

Student: A person was created from the second restriction, right? Not from the first restriction because that's the measure of judgment, it's the measure of mercy. It doesn't exist. He created the measure of mercy.

M. Laitman: So?

Student: So, he's talking here about Malchut that rises to the Chazeh. It's because of the second restriction that she rises to the Chazeh, right? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Then he tells here about, since there's no absence in the spiritual, there's a matter of also the Malchut remaining in the place of the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin, as before. But from the force of judgment, and Tzimtzum from before, it came down to the point of this world. What does it mean, like there's Malchut in two different places?

M. Laitman: Yes, there it's Keter, and below its Ein Sof, it’s end.

Student: We as created beings, can we similarly have the possibility to somehow, because there's this Malchut in two different places, to want to connect to the upper point where?

M. Laitman: There, there is our roots.

Student: Our entire correction is to identify with that part that is?

M. Laitman: Our entire correction is to identify, to sympathize, with the whole Partzuf of Malchut.

Student: Which he yearns?

M. Laitman: Which acquires all those Sefirot from the Rosh of the world of Nekudim to the Sium, to the end of all the Partzufim. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:21) He writes that in the world of Atzilut, what happened, is that even though the vessels of Nekudim broke, with that they were still installed in the two times of Gadlut and Katnut in the?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: What's this correction that's in the world of Atzilut, that wasn't in Nekudim? What's this addition in the two times of Katnut and Gadlut? 

M. Laitman: There is a time of Katnut and a time of Gadlut. Malchut is used in two states, in Katnut, we work only in Katnut and know about this limitation. And in Gadlut, we forcefully open the vessels of Malchut in Gadlut and use it.

Student: In Nekudim, there's also Katnut and Gadlut? 

M. Laitman: Yes but not with Malchut. Within NHY, of the vessels that join.

Student: Can you explain a little bit more about that? What is this addition in Atzilut?

M. Laitman: Malchut stands at the Chazeh.

Student: In Nekudim?

M. Laitman: Yes, she gets an addition of TNHY of the vessels, right?

Student: In Gadlut.

M. Laitman: In Gadlut, so?

Student: Then what happens in Atzilut? 

M. Laitman: Then the world of Nekudim breaks and the vessels of Gadlut have to be corrected and added to the Partzuf of Katnut, right? Until this is done. 

Student: That's in Atzilut?

M. Laitman: That's already in Atzilut. 

Student: So, what is the two times of Katnut in Atzilut? 

M. Laitman: It is when we talk about Malchut that is incorporated with her own vessels, in Atzilut. She's in the vessels of BYA, and then she brings herself from Partzuf Katnut to Partzuf Gadlut.

Student: Why isn't there a shattering like in Nekudim which is in Gadlut? 

M. Laitman: Because there's already an impression of how much I can demand and not more. 

Student: As far as the system, what is added there? What protection?

M. Laitman: I understand you, how should I say it? The world of Atzilut, in its correction, cannot break because, how should I put it? Because to begin with, it cannot ask for the real Gadlut. All the Gadlut that is in it is only in the 32 paths, in the 288, without the 320 sparks, and other such things. We come to what we can, correct everything. All of creation is, first of all, in order to break everything and then prepare the system so we can be corrected in the first nine but not in Malchut. And when we correct it, reveal it, come to it, then by raising MAN from all of our operations. It turns out that the general Malchut is corrected, except for the 32 final sparks. This is called, the Lord will finish for me. So, by that we reach what we can correct and the further corrections, the additional corrections, the Creator does them instead of us by Himself. Because we can't correct the real Malchut, to be incorporated with them, we can, to perform a correction on the incorporation, we can. But not they themselves. This I cannot reach, that's it. That's the end of all 6,000 years, the 7th millennium, the tenth millennium, there are other things, seemingly additional corrections.

Student: And that wasn't clear in Nekudim?

M. Laitman: What's clear or not clear is not important. What's important is what is in our hands to correct. What is revealed as my strength, my discernments, the ability to pray. Learning how I can do these things myself, and that's it and if I raise MAN and ask for correction, that's enough. But there are things that I cannot raise MAN over and correct. So, the Creator will finish for me.

Student: What are those parts that cannot be corrected in the Atzilut?

M. Laitman: In the Atzilut, we, nevertheless, raise MAN for corrections that can be corrected by raising MAN. But we can’t, how should I put it? We are unable to correct the descent, the real descent. In the end, the vessels we correct, we correct only a part; and the real Malchut, we don't touch it.

Student: And the Nekudim? 

M. Laitman: In Nekudim, we used, we’ll cancel the real Malchut but, nevertheless, vessels that we, ourselves, could not raise them and correct them. 

Student: Why, what was missing in Nekudim?

M. Laitman: The real Malchut.

Student: The real Malchut was missing in Nekudim?

M. Laitman: Yes, this is what Baal HaSulam writes in his poem, right? “Beware not to stretch out your hand to Him.” There are several operations that we need to avoid, and particularly by avoiding them, this is your correction. We will talk about it more, there are many subtle things here, but we're approaching it. So, we are at the twelve states of twelve Partzufim of Atzilut, right? Okay, do you want another item? 57, let's read it. 

Reader: The heading is Twelve Partzufim in Atzilut, item 57.

Reading: (01:14:19) Twelve Partzufim in Atzilut, Item 57.

Each degree that contains three times ten Sefirot—ten Sefirot of Rosh, ten Sefirot of Toch, and ten Sefirot of Sof (see above Items 5-6)—is called a Partzuf. It is named according to its highest phase. If the highest phase is Keter, all thirty Sefirot in it are named Keter; and if the highest phase is Hochma, they are all called Hochma, etc.

Also, there are five Partzufim whose level is measured by the coupling by striking on the five phases in the screen. A coupling by striking on the screen of phase four draws the level of Keter, the screen of phase three draws the level of Hochma, the screen of phase two draws the level of Bina, the screen of phase one draws the level of ZA, and the screen of the root phase draws the level of Malchut (see the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Item 21).

M. Laitman:  That's clear, right? What, this is not clear to you? Okay, ask. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:15:52) What causes the coupling each time in a different screen, the records? 

M. Laitman: The refining of the Partzuf from the Masach. From a bigger Masach, a bigger screen to a smaller screen, as we learned in Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA, BON, right? Atik, Arich Anpin, AVI, ZON.

Student: But why is the first coupling on the screen of phase four? 

M. Laitman: Why the coupling? 

Student: The first coupling, the first level that emerges. The coupling is upon the lowest.

M. Laitman: No, it’s the biggest. The screen of phase four is the biggest screen, okay, yes? Well, after that, it becomes Atzilut, already, the world of Atzilut. So, we finished at Twelve Partzufim of Atzilut. We'll learn about it next time.

Announcements: (01:18:02) We can now move to a report of PT-27 that will represent the Kiev Ten and their preparation for the convention.
