Reading #107 (00:25)

1. S. (03:18) Why does the coupling keep going through the eight Melakim and it doesn't break on the first one?

R. There is Rosh and there the Guf, head and body. So you have a coupling in the Rosh and then it spreads in the Guf . The Guf breaks, there cannot be a breaking in the Rosh there are no vessels there, only intentions. In the Rosh there are intentions to bestow, until the Guf is canceled, broken. The Rosh too does now become canceled.

S. When the first shattering is revealed is it enough to stop the whole?

R. No, because the breakings go from above downward and then you don't know what will happen next, they don't make a calculation on the final degree but from above downward.

Reading number 108 (04:39)

2. S. (06:44) Hesed and Daat is a Sefirot, so why does he state that it’s a Melech the Daat?

R. Because it's Malchut. Everything is drawn to Malchut and is revealed in Malchut. Malchut means kingship also.

S. What's the connection between Malchut and Hesed?

R. This is why we call this whole process eight Kings, Melechim. The will to receive that is now being revealed and it belongs to Malchut.

S. There's a connection between Malchut and Hesed somewhere or Malchut and Daat, something like that?

R. No. Malchut in principle should receive in order to receive or in order to bestow from all the phases before it, this is why it's called that.

S. Is there a reason that that's what it's called? It's just a question, I don't know?

R. That they are called Melechim, kings?

S. Yes, king, Melech HaDaat, Melech HaHesednwhat does that mean?

R. I don't remember where it's written but it's all because in this whole process Malchut, itself is involved, the will to receive, this is why it is called like that.

3. S. (08:14) Could you explain the matter of the level of YESHUT? I don't really understand.

R. Bina is always divided into GAR and ZAT, the first three and the bottom seven. It’s GAR is Bina and its ZAT is YESHUT. In GAR there are no vessels reception, and in ZAT it's already involved with reception.

S. Why does this level of YESHUT coming out only now?

R. Because now all the levels come out in practice. This is why this one comes out as well.

S. Once a new degree comes out that is now called YESHUT, what is renewed in that vessel? What is so special that we say, oh now that there's a new degree YESHUT?

R. ZAT of Bina, the bottom seven of Bina, YESHSUT is the bottom seven of Bina when desires to receive in vessels of Bina are revealed and they divide the vessel of Bina into GAR, the first three and ZAT the bottom seven. GAR of Bina are Bina, and the bottom seven are YESHUT. In the GAR of Bina there are no vessels of reception in it and in the bottom seven of Bina there are vessels of reception

S. The discernment of YESHUT, it’s part of the vessel or part of the Rosh? The Rosh understands there's something called ZAT of Bina that he has to take care of specially?

R. Yes, yes, it's a structure. It's this kind of structure that needs to be divided into two. It started from the Rosh of SAG, this whole thing. Parsa and all of those things is from a long time ago but now it's come to a state where it is already Melakim. Melakim, meaning they have their structure but it's involved, it’s mixed with Malchut.

Reading number 109 (10:30)

4. S. (14:28) What does it mean coupling on the coarseness?

R. How could there be a coupling not on coarseness? Coupling is connection, there can be connection only when you have light and coarseness, a desire, right? Then the light can enter the desire and fill it but we have the prohibition of the first restriction. So then we have the ability for the vessel to perform the striking the beating on the upper light, it seemingly throws it out and does not accept it, and afterwards it calculates and receives in order to bestow. This is called a coupling by striking, a coupling that comes through striking.

5. S. (15:36) What does it mean that the records renew themselves?

R. New records are revealed by order because the previous records from the previous level have disappeared because that level broke and this new level is revealed, and new records are revealed and they receive the level.

6. S. (16:10) Why in the upper third of Tifferet it is written that it departed and wasn’t shattered. What’s the difference between that and the others that were shattered? “...and when the upper third of Tifferet was departed the AHP of Zeir Anpin were canceled”.

R. Yes.

S. Why in the upper third of Tifferet it departed and wasn’t shattered?

R. Because there is no coarseness there, it’s the upper third, there is still no coarseness there.

.

S. So what is the difference between that and the others that did shatter?

R. There, there was complete coarseness. We will soon learn it.

7. S. (17:00) The Melech of Daat is Ta’amim? Is this from above downward?

R. Every Melech is Ta’amim. It means according to the level of Ta’amim.

S. The other is when the screen refines. They come out when the screen goes up.

R. It doesn't matter, it is still Ta’amim, flavors or tastes.

Reading #110 (17:38) “Thus we have explained the Taamim and the Nekudim that emerged in the two Partzufim..”

Reading #111 (20:10) “The emergence of the four levels one below the other in the Partzuf Yeshsut..”

8. R. (21:50) This completes the whole world of Nekudim. It finished breaking and in its place later comes the world of correction.

9. S. (22:06) In the Guf there's a division between the Panim and the Achoraim, what we just read, so what does it mean in the Guf because we learned that the Guf has a reception?

R. The vessels of Panim, interior vessels are the vessels of GE, vessels of bestowal and the posterior vessels of reception and this is how they are divided.

S. But it is like this discernment is in the Guf what you just explained?

R. What you have in the Rosh spreads in the body what there is in the body belongs to the Rosh  because the Rosh is the beginning of the degree, this is why we sometimes use the same names to name the vessels in the Guf.

S. There is Sof of the Partzuf and Toch and also in the Toch division?

R. Yes.

S. What is the difference between the Sof or the posterior of the Guf?

R. The posterior of the Guf are vessels of reception that exist in the Guf whether we can work with them or not depends on what we are talking about. In the Rosh we have no vessels, only intentions. This is why there is no breaking in the Rosh, only cancellation but in the body there is.

S. I don't understand so I will try again. There is a division of the Sof where you cannot do anything with the vessel?

R. Yes.

S. That is the Sof and above it there's a part called posterior or Toch, the posterior of the Guf?

R. Let's say it is so.

S. What is the difference between those parts?

R. I don't know it depends on what Partzuf you are talking about. That is the whole point, it's not like in every Partzuf it is the same.

10. S. (24:49) We just went over the whole process of the shattering and everything has some kind of a purpose, so what is the purpose of all this what should happen from here, what this was all created for?

R. The purpose of the shattering is to prepare the vessels for the correction so that during the correction they can understand themselves, feel themselves that they are rising from the breaking from the part and from a state where they are opposite from the Creator up to a state where they are similar to The Creator, this is called being resurrected, revived and this is how they connect.

S. The feeling of the oppositeness is that what the shattering gave, because before there was some structure?

R. The breaking is multifaceted. It is not only in the process of breaking happens to the vessels and the vessels, I don't even know where to start. The breaking is a preparation for the correction. Without the breaking we would not be able to, first of all we would not exist. Precisely thanks to the breaking when broken vessels arise they begin to feel who they are where they belong and they begin to assemble themselves, connect and then we see that here the purpose of creation is beginning to be realized. It is all in the end of the act is the preliminary thought.

S. We see humanity in so many blows and shatterings and it is as if we do not learn anything?

R. We still cannot learn, we still cannot learn. What do you want them to learn.

S. I don't know but I see that every time we put ourselves into more suffering and even almost in awareness?

R. Yes that is the way it is because we still cannot learn.

S. Why?

R. Because in order to learn we have to feel the beginning and the end and the middle and from within our own vessels. We still don't have these preparations within us. When some vessel breaks, so what. Who can learn anything from that?

S. We say that in the process of the shattering when Bina entered Malchut?

R. Who is Bina, it is still some mass of desire to bestow that does not have any will to receive for itself. It's like taking a piece of rock or some earth mass.

S. Why is humanity suffering for there's no way to learn from it?

R. This needs to be revealed, it started with the last generation and now it's gradually being revealed.

S. Can we say that there is a shattering so we will learn from it?

R. It will be revealed for sure, what is the braking, what is the result of the breaking, what is the benefit from the breaking, it will all be revealed. In the meantime it is as if you are trying to speak of these vessels like the vessels of Nekudim that they suffer, that they are experiencing some tragedy, it's still matter, substance.

S. In this we see that there's suffering built in humanity today?

R. Also what we learn is what we learned before Adam HaRishon was created.

S. That is clear but today the humanity, the shattering, has to be built and reach some purpose because there's a meaning for all of this?

R. There is a purpose and we need to study it, the purpose is the results of the vessels which will be called people. They will want to unite to connect to the upper force to unite in it, to be similar to it, this is all that we will have to attain.

S. It is like humanity so far from it we do not even want to hear about such a thing?

R. Almost all of the preparations have been completed, almost all of the preparation. What can you do, we do not understand, we really don't still understand what the purpose of creation is and the process of creation, there's nothing you can do. It will be good.

S. If we have to add one thing into humanity that will bring it closer to this understanding what would it be?

R. We need to explain to everybody what is happening and yearn to somehow to resemble the corrected vessels and from this will begin to understand what we went through and what is still ahead of us, there's no other way. What do you recommend?

S. I don't know I see that we are talking about our message and the internet and no one wants to listen and there's more blows and more blows, and another wave and another wave. You see the suffering and you try to help and as much as you try?

R. You want to be heard immediately and that they will accept you with applause.

S. No, even in the will to receive they don't want to accept it. It’s like a total wall?

R. It is the darkness as it is before the rising of the dawn.

S. You see the suffering of the nations in the world and you hear from all friends anywhere in the world, and you can’t give anything to those people that are so close, that wherever we are in the world it is like the friends want to pass all of this abundance, but we can't.

R. Yes relax, it is all in the process.
