Part 2: Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah. 

Student: Hello, friends. We continue watching the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah course from 2001. Today we'll watch the last part of lesson number seven.

The third part, which will be entirely dedicated to the structure of the world of Atzilut, exactly as we heard about in the lesson we just watched. So let's go to the recorded lesson. After that we'll take questions. We recommend that you draw what Rav draws, and so on. Very helpful.

M. Laitman: (00:39) So we now go to the world of Atzilut. We don't have a lot of time left, so in general we'll go over what the world of Atzilut is. Next time, we'll study it by itself. For the time being I'm just writing without explaining what the structure of the world of Atzilut is. 

The first part is Galgalta, Tabur, Peh, Tabur, Sium. The second Partzuf AB. The third Partzuf is SAG, Nekudot of SAG, and so on. 

After we have the dots of SAG, after that we have the second restriction. Parsa, and Katnut, smallness of the world of Nekudim, and Gadlut, greatness of the world of Nekudim. Then shattering. And then all the records rise again to the Rosh of SAG as it performed a coupling by striking on Bet Aleph, two over one, plus the second restriction to extend the world of Nekudim. Now it performs a coupling on Aleph - Shoresh, one - root, plus the second restriction, thus extending the world of Atzilut, after the shattering of the vessels. The world of Atzilut… 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:31) A student asked if it's after BON. 

M. Laitman: Yes, but we don't mention the upper MA and upper BON, usually, because these are Partzufim, which later come automatically, and they're just there. 

The world of Atzilut emerges- born and includes Partzufim from beginning to end. The first Partzuf is called Atik. Atik, first restriction. And also, Atik, second restriction. Let's write this differently. Tzimtzum Aleph- first restriction. Tzimtzum Bet- the second restriction. Atik. From Peh of Atik, as usual from the Peh of Rosh of Galgalta and below extends the Partzuf of Arich Anpin. 

Atik is Keter, Arich Anpin- Hochma and the Parsa, the Parsa Through to the Parsa, this is the Parsa. 

From Peh of Arich Anpin, through his Chazeh, spreads the Partzuf of Abba and Ima- father and mother. From Chazeh, which is Bina, well, let's say it's GAR of Bina- the first three of Bina. From Chazeh through Tabur of Arich Anpin expands a Partzuf called YESHSUT, which is ZAT of Bina- the lower seven Sefirot of Bina. And from Tabur through to the Sium, the end of Atzilut expands Zeir Anpin, and from the Chazeh of Zeir Anpin through to the Sium, the Partzuf of Malchut. 

So, all of this is the world of Atzilut. Sometimes, you will see in the books that Abba and Ima expand through to the Parsa, YESHSUT also, down to the Parsa. If they need to they do this. Any Partzuf which is on some high degree of course, it can spread downwards in order to correct the lower ones to help them. 

So, it may be that you will see this. It may be that you will see that Abba and Ima and YESHSUT are one Partzuf, one phase. GAR of Bina and ZAT of Bina simply connect together into one Partzuf. And that Partzuf, then, is called, after its upper part, Abba ve Ima, because it includes Abba ve Ima and YESHSUT. 

This happens when it needs to give the light of Hochma to Zeir Anpin and Malchut. Zeir Anpin and Malchut together are called ZON, Zeir Anpin and Nukva, ZON. So, when Abba and Ima and YESHSUT need to provide the light of Hochma, they connect GAR of Bina and ZAT of Bina together, and then they provide Hochma to Zeir Anpin. What is received in ZON of Atzilut is received through the worlds of Beria, we'll later learn how they are made here. Yetzira and Assiya, And here HaOlam HaZeh, this world. So, it's received through all these and this world. From Malchut, it goes through all these.

M. Laitman: (09:15) The most important for us are these Partzufim of ZON of Atzilut. What is in them comes to us. The worlds of Beria, Yetzira and Assiya are of no importance. They're not a function here. The main thing for us is ZON of Atzilut. If we cause the light to come to ZON of Atzilut, it pours down to us, take all of our actions through various actions which are called raising MAN- here where we are. How can we cause MAN above? What is MAN also? Mayin Nukvin, a lack in the world, in Partzuf ZON of Atzilut, to receive the light of Hochma. If we can cause a lack here, he asks this Partzuf, demands of Abba and Ima and YESHSUT Hochma, and then they receive this Hochma from the Partzuf of Arich Anpin, it's the Partzuf of Hochma, it always has Hochma, and then into our worlds descends the abundance, and we are then in a really good state. 

If we can't awaken a lack for the light of Hochma in ZON of Atzilut, it shuts, it closes to the point where we receive even less than what we need to live. There must always be a certain number of requests, awakenings from our world upwards, sufficient to at least provide for our subsistence, our existence in this world, let's say.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:06) Is that what we call a prayer?

M. Laitman: The raising of MAN is called prayer. But prayer, it's not, you know, it's not the way you learn, but it's a special- special spiritual action, which is called prayer. All right, so this is the world of Atzilut, its structure. Let's continue with the structure of the world of Atzilut a little. 

Partzuf of Arich Anpin is built such that although it is the Partzuf of Hochma, it has Hochma only here, Hochma only in its Rosh, head, down to the Peh, the mouth. And below the Peh, it has only Hassadim, only Hassadim. Therefore, Abba ve Ima, which close on this part from Peh to the Chazeh of Partzuf Arich Anpin, they're full of Hassadim, and they need no Hochma. Therefore, this part in Abba ve Ima is called Chafetz Chesed, seeking grace. It receives this supply, this correction from Arich Anpin. And YESHSUT is in a state where he truly wants Hochma, YESHSUT. YESHSUT wants Hochma according to the requests from ZON. Like ZAT of Bina, he himself does not want Hochma, but if ZON asks, he immediately demands of Bina, and she, from here, Hochma pours forth. 

So, we wrote here, but by what is the request created? The request comes from this world. But from this world, whoever is in this world, his request isn't a conscious request. We shout, we ask in our hearts or with our mouth. It doesn't have much of an effect. Mostly, the request comes from those who have already crossed the Machsom, the barrier. This is the barrier. They crossed the barrier and are in the worlds of Briah, Yetzira, and Assiya, which are called BYA, in the worlds of BYA. Those in the worlds of BYA are called the souls of the righteous, and they can definitely awaken the ZON of Atzilut to pour the light of Hochma down. How? Those souls of the righteous are actually shattered vessels, broken vessels from the shattering of the vessels. Broken vessels. How do they awaken to ask for spirituality? They awaken, they're awakened by the Partzuf of Atik. Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet… No, this is… one moment. Hochma, Bina, Daat, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchut. These are the Sefirot of Partzuf Atik. Hesed and Hod are called Dadei Behemah, the breasts of the beast, the udders. 

Because Netzach and Hod are called Raglaim, legs, then in them there is this special part called the udders, the Dadei Behemah, between the legs of the beast, like you have the udders. So, from here emerges a special illumination to the souls of the righteous. And this illumination awakens them to raise MAN, to ask for corrections so that there will be more light in ZON of Atzilut and for the whole world. 

Dadei Behemah, the beast's udders, that's a very important thing. All the shattered vessels which are in the shells can awaken only through that. The records in us aren't sufficient to awaken the records is what's required. And the Dadei Behemah awakens the records; the light from the Dadei Behemah. So, these are the five Partzufim of the world of Atzilut. Now, What's in these worlds? What's in the worlds Briah, Yetzira, Assiya, we don't learn. It's simply vessels performing actions, and that's it. There's nothing special in them. It's only the system of Atzilut that we need to study, only this world.

M. Laitman: (17:28) Now, Atik in the First Restriction, you see this Partzuf came to a special state, the state of the First Restriction. We'll learn why. It's in order to spread below the Parsa, to be connected to the shattered vessels, which are below the Parsa, in order to provide them with an awakening. So they ask for MAN, and so they're corrected. They'll be corrected. Everything begins from Atik of the First Restriction. 

Atik in the Second Restriction exists only with respect to all the rest of the Partzufim of Atzilut to provide them with corrections. It gives the lights of Hochma and also the lights of Hassadim to all the other Partzufim. That's why it's called Keter. And after that, each and every Partzuf has its own role. Arich of Bina, Arich Anpin, Hochma, Bina, GAR of Bina, Ein Sof, ZAT of Bina, Zeir Anpin. You'll see if you look according to the drawings, how many you have. So many, how to say, so many states for each and every Partzuf in the world of Atzilut. Sometimes they descend. Sometimes they descend. 

Sometimes Arich Anpin, only Arich Anpin is regarded, and Atik is regarded as nothing. Abba ve Ima and YESHSUT divide into several other smaller Partzufim, Zeir Anpin and Malchut divide into two couples. You have the big ZON and the small ZON. In short, the world of Atzilut is very flexible. Don't see it, don't study it in a very strict way. All these forms can exist in it according to the souls that need to be corrected. It is universal. Whatever needs to be changed below to correct them, it takes that shape, adapts itself to them. Then he comes into contact with them, bestows upon them, helps them, does everything. That's why it has all these possibilities to shift itself and to take on different forms in relation to the souls. 

So don't look at, suddenly it's like this, suddenly it's like that. Why it moved? Why did it shift? It can move however it wants. We just see, we study those states that he receives, that he takes on, these shapes, and how it can do that, and how we need to be in order to influence it, to summon special forms of it, specific forms for our benefit. 

And this is our study in the system, this is what we study in the system that governs us, bestows upon us, builds in us our tomorrow, and so on. 

One who is connected to the world of Atzilut can see what will happen tomorrow. One who can influence it determines what will happen tomorrow, very simply. So all of our studies are here, in ZON of Atzilut. Here is the keyboard where a person can just type in all the data and then receive afterwards.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:00) The student asks in how many hours it takes, have answers.

M. Laitman: This also you decide, you invite. Hochma, Bina, Daat, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet. Daat, we will learn about it. Daat is not a Sefira onto itself. This is from the second restriction. It's a combination of Hochma and Bina made by the lower ones. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:28) Where did Keter disappear?

M. Laitman: Keter… Daat is in the place of Keter instead of Keter. But Keter doesn't relate to the expansion of the Partzufim, but only the extent to which Hochma and Bina join together in order to bestow to the lower ones. That is called Daat. So the whole world of Daat is in the place of Keter. You understand?

Student: So whoever has a screen truly knows now what's happening up there? 

M. Laitman: According to the screen, a person knows everything. According to the magnitude of the screen, according to the size of that screen, he also knows how to bestow. And according to the screen, he sees. Why don't you see anything now? Because you have no screen. When you have a screen, let's say 10 grams worth, you will see 10 centimeters away. If you have a kilogram screen, you will see a meter away, and so on. But it's the screen. 

The screen creates the reflected light. How we hear, how we see, it's everything through reflected light, through repulsion. We have the eardrum here. We have some response from the eye. All of our senses react, are reactive. How do I know this is pressuring me now? Because it pushes back. I push something, I create pressure, and it's a reaction to what pressures me. That's how every sense works. The same way with the screen. The light comes to me, and to the extent that I'm ready to repel it by myself, from me. By that, I create the reflected light. I create that reflected light. I push the light away from me. And in that space of the reflected light, I see into divinity. You understand? 

So, there are good and bad things which I can see a meter away from me. But beyond that, I don't see, and I get confused, I don't know what's happening. There are things I can see a kilometer away from me also. And accordingly, I can also influence things, defend myself, change things, change everything. You understand? But now, what state are you in? You don't know what's going to happen to you in a moment. You don't know what's happening with you. You understand? I'm not judging you. I'm not blaming you. You just need to know what happens without a screen. Now, you understand how necessary, this is the most necessary wisdom that a person can find. Without it, everyone are blind.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:59) You said that I reject the light. How can I reject the light? I just want to receive it. I try as much as I study to receive it even more. How will I come to a stage of rejection?

M. Laitman: It'll come. You'll pray. Gradually, it turns around.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:17) What does it mean that you see? You don't see it with your eyes. 

M. Laitman: You see forces that operate reality. 

Student: Do you actually see with your eye? 

M. Laitman: What do you mean see? If you look at a child and you grab him so he doesn't do something, the child doesn't see what might happen, what damage he might cause himself or something. He doesn't see. But you see. Why? Because you see what is to come. You see the causes. You see the rules. You know the laws. And you see what can emerge from his actions. And he doesn't see it. That is called sight, a vision. Same thing in spirituality. You feel spiritual forces. And then you understand how they now come together in order to influence, to bestow downwards, and how you can make changes for the better in them through attainment. That's what happens, and according to your attainment, you can see, and according to your attainment, you can also influence things and make a change. 

Student: What's the… 

M. Laitman: Well?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (25:31) How do we build a screen?

M. Laitman: That is the practical work we do in the group. Please join. Join. Please, you're welcome. This is indeed our goal. That's what we do. That's what we… Each one among us, and this you can do only if you're in a group. From the group, you receive more forces with which to move forward. From the group, you receive an awakening when you fall, when you don't feel like it, you don't want to. From the group, you receive the desires of everyone, the awakenings of everyone. 

Without a group, we have articles you can read. In the same book, you'll find them. Without a group, it's impossible. In each one of us, there is only a very small force. Why? To begin with, we came connected together when we were in a single vessel once. In the corrected form, we have to be together. In the corrupted form, we're separated from each other, dismantled. So if you want to facilitate your correction, you have to connect with more souls, a few more souls. You understand? 

And then this general force, after you're connected with them, it will act in your direction. Because each degree that is higher, in it, the souls are more connected, until you come to a state where all the souls are as one vessel. And therefore, it's written, "love thy friend as thyself" is the great rule of the Torah. The great rule, meaning the most general, where all the souls are connected together. That's why without the group, when we connect at least in external desires, the desires to attain divinity, exerting together, studying together, without the group, it's impossible to reach any kind of ascension. Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:40) Does the group have any meaning with physical closeness? In the group, we could also have… 

M. Laitman: What is physical closeness? 

Student: Meaning, if we're sitting together in the same room?

M. Laitman: Sitting together.

Student: Does it have any additional meaning? 

M. Laitman: Sitting together, eating together, sleeping together during the lesson, right? And let's say, as yesterday, we did an activity together, and on Saturday, we're here maybe 15 hours together. Yes, it's all that. There's no other way.

Student: I didn't understand. If, let's say, each of us was sitting in his computer, and we were connecting between us?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no. There's no… I'll tell you from experience. It's been five, six years that we've been on the Internet. I have students that I correspond with. There are some which I've seen from this year or the year before, but there are students I correspond with. It's unbelievable how much a person here, in one month's time, gains in comparison with a person who is far away for several years connected. It's as if, well, you see, in spirituality, you can say, what distance? What physical contact? How can that be influential? 

But we exist in a body. Through the body, we receive fulfillment. Nothing can… You can't avoid that. If I wasn't close to the Rav, didn't bathe him, didn't take care of him, didn't live next to him, I wouldn't get anything, receive anything. If I just came to study with him, and if it wasn't in the same room, maybe from abroad, there are some… I see them, but it's a shame. What can I say? In that way, a person does receive a lot of knowledge, a lot of powers, which will later be revealed, meaning he'll get pushed to the right place, and then it'll all be revealed very quickly. 

Let's say, if after a few years that he's been studying in some place, and invested, and wanted, and everything, and suddenly he comes here, although the moment he arrives he's still nothing, but then in a few months he's confused there, in confusion he sees he understood things incorrectly, but after a few months, after he comes, all the investments emerges, it emerges, because he connects to the group. But until he's connected, there's no hope at all. Don't worry, we'll bring you closer.

Student: Is there a plan to... The student asked if there are students who already have a screen.

M. Laitman: Now he says, yes, don't worry.
