Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. The Gatehouse of Intentions (Chapter 4. #46)
Reading The Gatehouse of Intentions Chapter 4. #46 twice
Reading Item number 47
Item number 48 (03:08)
1. R. (03:55) Meaning every lower world is the clothing for the ZAT of the upper world, do we have about this?
Continues Item 48 (04:08)
2. S. (05:36) What is nice?
R. Nice that he says that the world of Adam Kadmon clothes upon Ein Sof and reaches one into the other and all the worlds clothe upon that and eventually they can all be corrected with the line. With the line, and we also can enter that line, participate in it, and cause the correction of all the worlds.
Item number 49 Twice (06:16)
3. R. (08:18) So let's see what he tells us.
Reading Item 49 (08:24)
4. S. (10:29) What is the light of consequence which the Parsa doesn't attain?
R. Because it's not light that comes from above and reaches the Parsa and can pass, it's the light of a consequence.
S. What is it in essence, not that they can connect to us, it's easier to connect to its closer?
R. It's so light of the second restriction that can pass through the Parsa the light of Hassadim in short the light of Hochma cannot go below the Parsa.
Reading Item 49 again
5. R. (12:26) So that's clear the second restriction starts working only on the Partzufim that come after the Nekudot of SAG.
Reading continues (12:38)
6. R. (13:31) Meaning there's lights that we can receive under the Parsa and there's lights that we cannot receive below the Parsa.
7. S. (13:42) He says that there is no AK shining but only in Atzilut alone and that is the Parsa, that is between the Atzilut, and Beria and they will not transition to Beria, so we learned and I'm asking is there a connection between our Assiya, we could tie the matter of Lishma and Lo Lishma here?
R. No don't get confused, it's not worth it.
S. So it's not worthwhile connecting it?
R. No.
S. So what does it mean that the Parsa is between Atzilut and Beria, where does it come from?
R. It comes from the second restriction, that the Nekudot of SAG, the second restriction took place, Malchut rose to Bina from Nekudot of SAG and that's where the Parsa was made, the limit that below there the upper light cannot appear.
S. So he says he covers for Atzilut that it will not transition to Beria, what does that mean?
R. That the lights that are above the Parsa, it's called that they're the area of Atzilut, they cannot pass through the Parsa and enter below it, which is the area of Beria, creation, something outside of Atzilut.
S. So our work is what, to pass it or try to pass it?
R. Our work is to raise all of our vessels from Beria to Atzilut to correct them, to receive the upper light in them and then to lower all the vessels with the lights, below Atzilut below the Parsa and then it will be the Gmar Tikkun.
S. In general how do we do it, is that what we study all the time?
R. Yes and the Sium of the Parsa will reach the Sium of all the worlds, the Sium of the AK, that's called that his legs will stand on the mountain of olives.
8. S. (16:12) What does it mean that the world of Adam Kadmon clothes in the ten Sefirot of Assiya?
R. The world of Adam Kadmon clothes also on the world of Assiya and that's how it illuminates and each and every world clothes upon the world below it and in that way can shine to all the worlds until the Sium.
S. And the world of Assiya is the thickest, coarsest world, how does it have the highest clothes in it?
R. Because it needs to illuminate at least in something on all those that are below. It’s like that every upper world wants to adapt itself to as many lower vessels as possible in order to correct them, bestow upon them, and raise them.
S. How does a Kabbalist attain such a complex image, a complex structure, of course there can be many states that he's in that he perceives the entire image and the connection between different components, the lower, the upper, how they clothe on one another, how can all of that be attained?
R. It opens in such a way because he corrects these vessels and those vessels and those vessels, each time more and more and more and they start connecting between all those vessels, and that's how he understands. He starts feeling the influence of the vessels on one another. It's like what we study, all kinds of wisdoms of this world.
9. S. (18:34) This chapter is very interesting and I would ask if you could clarify a few things, he got used to the fact that the world of corrections is the world of Atzilut and here we see that even though it results from the second restriction that the world of Adam Kadmon begins to correct its 10 Sefirot of Assiya, in other words that says that if it annuls the worlds of Atzilut where the corrections are supposed to take place, maybe you can clarify?
R. All the lights from above go through all the worlds until the Sium, until the Raglaim meet the Raglaim, where the world of Atzilut will be lowered to the Raglaim, the feet of AK, that's how all the worlds work and you don't have anything here that can exist one without the other, that's why the light that shines through the world of Adam Kadmon shines to the world of Atzilut and so on below until all the endings.
S. It's mentioned here that this cares of the world of Klipot and therefore it’s explained here that the world of Atzilut is skipped and only in the world of Adam Kadmon takes care of the world of Klipot?
R. He can't take care of the world of Klipot because he has no connection to it, the world of Atzilut takes care of all of those who are below the Tabur of AK. That's why all those shattered vessels are being taken care of only by the world of Atzilut. According to the first restriction and Atzilut works according to the second restriction that's why only it is able and close and can correct all the shattered vessels that are in Beria below the Parsa.
10. S. (21:00) What is the inner Partzuf of AK?
R. Galgalta.
S. So I'd like to ask, I heard you say that through Ein Sof we can draw the correction to all the worlds, how in our reading can we bring all of the created beings closer?
R. By us coming closer between us we cause all the worlds to clothe more correctly one upon the other and pass the light that reforms from above, from the Keter of AK until the Malchut of Assiya.
S. What should we think about while we're reading?
R. That we want to unite everything, and through our prayers and deeds and raising MAN in our connection and all kinds of actions we actually cause all the vessels to connect, connect together.
S. Should that be our goal?
R. Yes, we need to correct everything, all the souls we need to bring Adam HaRishon back into its complete role.
11. S. (22:46) What are one thousand days?
R. That's from the Zohar, that's how we, it appears in with Baal HaSulam a lot, I don't even know how to explain it, when we speak about the final correction we say how a thousand ordinary days become sacred.
S. Are we in those days?
R. No it has nothing to do about, it's a term, it's not worth getting into, I also don't really know how to explain it in a simple way, I don't want to confuse you that's why I will leave it, we’ll leave it on the side, we have to scrutinize what the thousand ordinary days are.
12. S. (24:08) I have a general question about the Gatehouse of Intentions, can we use it in order to better judge ourselves with respect to existence or lack of existence of the right intentions?
R. No, it has nothing to do with our intentions, it doesn't belong to our intentions, it's an introduction to a prayer book that Baal HaSulam wanted to write and didn't mean to write, and that's why he called it that way, we're soon going to finish the first part of the book and then we'll see how much how he criticizes a few Kabbalists we’ll see it in due time.
Reading Simple Light number 49 (25:25)
13. R. (32:01) Meaning all the worlds expand until the Sium of AK and won’t need to scrutinize anything else of this shattered vessel, everything will be corrected and there will be Gmar Tikkun, the final correction.
14. S. (32:22) Can you explain what is RADLA?
R. RADLA, it's an abbreviation for Reisha d'lo yada ud'lo ityada, the head that did not know yet, that isn't revealed yet, that is in the world of Atzilut, and it will be revealed only in the Gmar Tikkun in the complete way.
15. S. (32:57) What is special about the Malchut of AK?
R. That means that we cannot scrutinize all of Malchut because we don't have the coupling, the complete coupling on the RADLA.
16. S. (33:21) What is the summary of this lesson?
R. The summary is that we have to learn for Gmar Tikkun, until the Raglaim and Raglaim will connect and there will not be anything to correct, the more we advance towards that state so good luck to everyone.
