Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. Inner Observation. 

Cause and Consequence. #34

Reading #34. (00:36) “The tenth is the correction of the Parsa. It, too...”

1. S. (04:00) How to depict what we hear? What is taking place here? What is it speaking about? What are all the names of these things? How do we need to correctly internalize it? What is Baal HaSulam describing here?

R. Baal HaSulam here is explaining how from MA and BON coming out and dividing into two Partzufim between them the Parsa is revealed. The correction of the Parsa, what does that mean? Every Partzuf of MA or BON is divided into two. In between them, there is a certain distance to begin with because they come from Nekudot of SAG, and there the difference is very big because on the one hand, if there is the illumination of Hochma and the light of Hochma in them, so it is a Partzuf like any other. On the other hand, if they do not have it so that Partzuf is very weak and cannot withstand, it cannot serve the Taamin Nekudot. I will find the words for it.

2. S. (06:25) What happens with the external MA and BON? It’s like here they don't talk about them whatsoever?

R. Of course not. They cannot join in all of these actions.

S. Between them there is no intermingling of judgment and mercy?

R. No, each one comes out in the form of the Katnut as they are and that is it.

3. S. (06:58) Each lower Partzuf lacks the light of Hochma?

R. Not only light of Hochma. Maybe in its upper Partzuf there also wasn't light of Hochma.

S. I thought a lower Partzuf because it was missing the light of Hochma, it needs to receive from the Partzuf that is above it, but let's say the upper one doesn't have it so what does he do?

R. I don't know. All the Partzufim that come from the SAG, right? The SAG cannot supply the light of Hochma to them, so what do you do?

4. S. (07:50) What is the difference between the Keter and the Nekudot of SAG?

R. Which Keter?

S. That’s how he’s asking, I do not know.

R. The Taamim of Keter?

S. He is asking about the taste of Keter and the Nekudot are the lower nine. It is written that the taste of Keter is SAG and the Nekudot are the lower nine, so he's asking why it is like that?

R. That is how he divides it. Why? Because Keter is above all the limitations that the lower nine have and the lower nine already must have certain specific actions that there are already limitations in them.

5. S. (09:23) Is the upper one always the light and the lower one the Kli and the connection between them is the screen?

R. Well let's say. It is not that we do not explain it that way, the behavior of the Partzufim, but the upper one is the light, and the lower one is the vessel but you can also sometimes use that.

6. S. (10:18) Why does the Parsa need correction? Why does the Parsa need correction? She divides the Partzuf into vessels of reception and the vessels of bestowal and Sefirot, of reception and bestowal and that's okay, so why does she need correction?

R. The Parsa needs a strengthening so that it will be able to divide every Partzuf into vessels of bestowal and vessels of reception, and we need, every time, to understand that the correction of the Parsa is something great that gives the Partzuf an additional force. That their vessels of bestowal that are Galgalta Eynaim, which are above the Parsa and can receive the light even though it is not a great light. There are also the vessels of AHAP that even though they're heavy, big vessels, strong, they do not have the forces to bestow and that is why they are below. For that reason, every time, we have to be concerned about how to strengthen the Parsa.

S. But why does she need to be annulled? Why does the system conspire to cancel the Parsa?

R. The system wants to work without any limitations. That is on behalf of nature and the vessels do not want to annul. That is why there is a problem, that first, we always need to strengthen the Parsa.

S. Does it turn out that until the final Sefira all of the Sefirot will be able to actually receive in order to bestow? Meaning that every individual Sefira will have both a body and a head and will be able to receive in order to bestow?

R. Yes, obviously the inner desire of all the vessels that are in the order of the degrees.

S. What are MA and BON? I understood that there's an external MA and BON, an external one above the Tabur, and there's another MA and BON?

R. The MA and BON that are below the Tabur are Partzufim.

S. Is that the general name of the Partzufim below the Tabur?

R. Above the Tabur is GALGALTA, AB, SAG, and below it is MA and BON. Above the Tabur are Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA, and BON of AK, and below the Tabur it's MA and BON that already belong not to SAG but they’re the whole structure of AK. We will learn it, there are whole worlds there. That all comes from connecting the vessels of bestowal of Galgalta Eynaim and vessels of reception of AHAP, and from connecting those vessels then we get above Tabur, and below Tabur we have systems that resemble in the lack of forces. Above Tabur there are forces to sustain themselves and below there are no forces. That is how our whole work is to reach uplifting above the Tabur.

Reading item number 35. (15:02) “The eleventh is the correction of Gadlut and…” Twice. 

7. S. (17:49) What is this move that he is talking about here? The thirteenth is the entry of the lower Hey into the letters for the purpose of emanating the ZAT of Nekudim. What is that?

R. Where did you read that?

S. The 13th is the second paragraph.

R. 13th is the lower Hey into the letters for the purpose of emanating the ZAT of Nekudim. So?

S. ZAT of Nekudim is clear, it's exactly the last part of correction. He's talking about this move of these thirteen actions until the correction of this place. What exactly does it mean that he writes here the lower Hey into the letters, what is that?

R. The lower Hey is the limit that we have between the vessels of bestowal and vessels of reception. That's why it needs to reach the Tabur so below the Tabur it will be possible to put new Partzufim and new corrections on them that will be like the Partzufim above the Tabur.

S. Letters are the vessels, right?

R. Yes.

S. What vessels does it mean here that it's coming to those that are below the Tabur?

R. The 13 is the coming of the lower Hey into the letters of the purpose of emanating ZAT of Nekudim which are the real Guf, if the lower Hey won't be there, those vessels couldn't really be vessels This action is extended from the illumination of Yesod of AK to the Rosh of Nekudim, it gives light to this whole action forces of the phases of Shuruk which is a dot inside the Vav. This matter will be explained in completeness in part seven, In this way, the vessels that are below Tabur begin now to come closer to them being used.

S. Just to be more precise, the vessels below the Tabur actually join the lower seven of Nekudim as it says here. That's the true Kli and the final correction that it needs to correct?

R. But the shattering was in them. 

8. S. (21:29) The Rosh of Yesod above Tabur belongs to AB? Is it a result of AB?

R. The result of AB? I don't understand that.

S. It says it is the Taamim of AK or I didn't understand that. That above the Tabur is Yesod and the Rosh of the Tabur belongs to the Rosh of the world of the first Nekudim?

R. Yes.

S. What's the role of the Yesod above the Tabur?

R. It connects all the Partzuf of Yeshsut with all the vessels that are above the Tabur.

S. It's responsible for the correction?

R. Yes, that is why it is responsible. Good question, correct question.

9. S. (22:45) What is the state of the vessels below the Parsa?

R. We're not talking about that for the time being, light doesn't come to them yet. They're not being extended to join some action towards correction yet.

S. Are they in darkness?

R. No, probably in darkness.

S. What can we learn from the shattering of the world of the Nekudim?

R. The shattering of the world of Nekudim is something we can learn also as far as the action and as far as the intention. As far as the intention, vessels wanted to participate and all the corrections that truly reach the end of correction because it all depends on them. They join the Partzuf, the upper Partzuf, and raise their lack to its head, and it goes and receives in order to bestow according to their demand, and shatters. The shattering is to try to depict yourself, it breaks the whole process. They corrected previously in the Rosh of SAG, and cannot or know how to do anything else, the shattering. After the shattering there's nothing to do there are no records that could merit the continuation of spiritual work and there what happens is that the upper one continues, meaning that the lights that you have above Tabur are nevertheless what awakens the shattered vessels the records and obligates them to rise and to work to reach rejection, or reach revival, and that's where the corrections begin. The beginning is the work of scrutinizing the shattered records, what they belong to, and how these records can join Partzufim that will be corrected whereas in every Partzuf that rises it has a part that's corrected from the vessels that are above Tabur and it has shattered parts and records and then it turns out that gradually they are corrected. I'm doing kind of a leap here in which they correct all the Partzufim, all the broken Partzufim to raise them above Tabur, and the shattered ones below and there's a few other actions until they're all corrected. 

10. S. (27:34) Now from what you explained to the friend, it's like there's an approach or perception of reality until the shattering and then the shattering gives birth to previous reality that the previous isn't valid anymore the proof is that as it wasn't sustained can we say that?

R. I don't know, it appears as if by the shattering another part has been revealed in the general engine of creation, of reality, that we need to understand it, and by it correct the shattered vessels. Then when we come to sorting and correction of these broken vessels, we are actually correcting all of reality, all of creation, we understand that these vessels belong to all of creation not just the part that they were shattered.

S. Let's say that records of all the Partzufim of all the refinements until the shattering and what does it change to after the shattering because supposedly all the attitude towards them has to be changed?

R. They did all they should do for the general correction.

S. But without that element in the machine?

R. But that element can’t, it didn’t participate, so it wasn't seen, it's called that they worked with the vessels that are above Tabur. It turns out that everything was divided and for the time being, okay.
