Part 2: Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Sulam [Ladder] Commentary. Two Phases in Raising MAN, #50.

Reader: (00:03) We are studying the preface to the Sulam Commentary. You can find it in the writings of Baal HaSulam. There's a link in the study materials in the Arvut system. We are continuing from item 50.

Reading: (00:35) Item 50. Headline, Two Phases in Raising MAN, Two Phases in Raising MAN. Item 50.

There are two phases in raising MAN of ZA: 1) GAR of Bina, which are the upper AVI, are always in posterior toward Hochma, meaning they do not want to receive Hochma, but Hassadim, as it is written, “for he desires mercy,” and YESHSUT cannot receive Hochma from AA, but only through AVI (see Item 44). Hence, YESHSUT cannot receive Hochma through AVI, unless ZA rises to YESHSUT for MAN. At that time, AVI remove their posterior from Hochma, and Hochma passes through AVI to YESHSUT.

This awakening extends from Bina of direct light, which extends illumination of Hochma in Hassadim for ZA of direct light (see the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Item 5). Therefore, whenever ZA rises for MAN, AVI awaken to extend Hochma for it (see below Item 83).

M. Laitman: Are there questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:40) What does it mean that Zeir Anpin rises?

M. Laitman: Rises from MAN to AVI?

Student: Yes, what does it mean?

M. Laitman: He's got a deficiency. To fill up the deficiency, to satisfy what it wants, he has to rise to AVI in order to receive. Receive from them the light, and then its deficiency will calm down.

Student: What activates his deficiency? What drives his deficiency?

M. Laitman: The broken vessels that were in the world of Nekudim.

Student: Maybe I'll ask differently. What drives the whole process? The desire of the upper to give to the lower, or the desire of the lower that turns to the upper?

M. Laitman: We learn from both sides. On the one hand, you can say it's nature that's revealed and demands filling and then what happens is only carrying out the orders of nature. Or you can say that the top of the degree wants the Rosh, the head of the degree, wants the lower ones to reveal what exists in the Rosh, in the head and they'll be able to rise and become identical and then this way advance forward, and both are correct, and there are other reasons, so to speak but there's no doubt that what he writes is true for all the cases after the breaking of the vessels and the emergence of the world of Atzilut and then the Beria, and what we read is what we have, the raising of man from Zeir Anpin to Bina.

Student: When we read, our intention should aspire to connect to the desire of the deficiencies of the lower ones or the desire of the upper one to raise the lower one. Because he said we can see it from the perspective of the deficiency of the shattering or the desire of the upper one to give. So, what do we, what should we…

M. Laitman: We're not speaking about those who want this or those who want that. It's about who begins. Where is the first deficiency that is now continuing to move the system?

Student: From our connection, what should we aim for? The deficiency of the upper one that wants to bring us closer or that we want to be the healthy part?

M. Laitman: The upper one operates in such a way that the lower one feels deficiencies and according to these deficiencies, it activates itself in order to calm the deficiency that awakens in it, and this is how the whole process works.

Student: So, can we say that we need to be more focused on the upper one?

M. Laitman: Well, the upper one is the reason for all the things.

Student: His love to all of…

M. Laitman: No, well, now you're speaking generally. When we speak of Partzufim here, we don't use such words as love or something else, but simply as he says. Did you read item 50? There are two phases of raising MAN in Zeir Anpin. This is what we need to learn. “Two phases in raising MAN of Zeir Anpin. One, GAR of Bina which are the upper AVI. They are always in posterior toward Hochma. Meaning, they do not want to receive Hochma, but Hassadim. This is Zeir Anpin, which usually wants to receive Hassadim in illumination of Hochma. Here, he is speaking differently. That MAN, the deficiency that rises with Zeir Anpin in the world of Nekudim, his MAN, his Hissaron, his deficiency, wants only Hassadim. This is why he is called, because he desires mercy, and YESHSUT cannot receive Hochma from Arik Anpin but only through AVI. Hence, YESHSUT cannot receive Hochma through AVI unless Zeir Anpin rises to YESHSUT for MAN. At that time, AVI remove their posterior from Hochma, and Hochma passes through AVI to YESHSUT. This awakening extends from Bina of direct light, which extends illumination of Hochma in Hassadim for Zeir Anpin of direct light. Therefore, whenever Zeir Anpin rises for MAN, AVI awaken to extend Hochma for it.”

Student: So why all this aspiration to pass on light of Hochma downwards? What's the motive for it? Why do we need this?

M. Laitman: AVI have no deficiency except what they receive from below and when there is a request for Hochma from below, this is how they operate. They awaken YESHSUT, and for YESHSUT, they are willing to pass Hochma from Arik Anpin. It's written, right?” From AVI, AVI that receive Hochma from Arik Anpin, and YESHSUT receive from AVI, but it says unless Zeir Anpin rises for man to YESHSUT. Meaning Zeir Anpin has to rise for man to YESHSUT and then AVI remove their posterior from the Hochma, and Hochma passes through AVI to YESHSUT, and this awakening extends from Bina of direct light, which extends illumination of Hochma and Hassadim for Zeir Anpin of direct light. Therefore, whenever Zeir Anpin rises for MAN, AVI awaken to extend Hochma for it.”

Student: The MAN of Zeir Anpin, he wants to bestow with Hassadim or receive light of Hochma?

M. Laitman: It doesn't want, it has to rise to YESHSUT in order to receive from it the light of Hochma and that light of Hochma for it to come down and clothe in Hassadim. So, AVI awaken and in this way extend Hochma through themselves, and through ZAT of Bina, and through Zeir Anpin down to Malchut. Yes?

Student: What's the purpose of that? It's so that he also learns how to bestow?

M. Laitman: The purpose is to receive the right screens in every Partzuf in each heart of the ladder of degrees so that through them light will be able to cascade to come down.

Student: So, the end goal is that the light can come down all the way to the lower ones?

M. Laitman: Down to the lower ones. This is phase one. Phase two, item 51. “The second phase in raising MAN of Zeir Anpin is to unite the two lines, right and left, in YESHSUT. This is because when the left line of YESHSUT emerges, a division is made between the right and the left. For this reason, neither shines until Zeir Anpin unites them with one another through the middle line, and then both shine, right and left.”

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:42) What causes the emergence of the left line in YESHSUT? In the beginning, Zeir Anpin feels deficiencies from Malchut, which is totally in the dark, and raises the first MAN, and Bina begins to bring Hassadim to Malchut and then the left line comes out. Why does the left line come out in YESHSUT? What causes it?

M. Laitman: Because YESHSUT is ZAT of Bina that wants to receive light of Hochma.

Student: So only after the Hassadim shine in Malchut, she identifies…

M. Laitman: The deficiency.

Student: The deficiency to receive and then the left line emerges, and then?

M. Laitman: Right, the desire to receive Hochma.

Student: Then an additional MAN rises.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:03) You said before that the purpose of Zeir Anpin rising and drawing the light of Hochma is to build screens.

M. Laitman: Well, and to communicate light of Hochma downwards.

Student: From what is the screen built? From light of Hochma?

M. Laitman: The Masach is built from intentions.

Student: So, they asked before, but I want to ask again. Why does Zeir Anpin rise from MAN to YESHSUT? Why should it rise there? What is its intention?

M. Laitman: How can he, how is it possible that the light of Hochma will go down through all the degrees to the lower ones?

Student: Zeir Anpin has to rise. So Zeir Anpin rises because it's the will of the upper one? Because here we're talking about direct light, phase one, and in direct light, it is written that Zeir Anpin of direct light is what rises and receives Hochma. So, how does it happen? Because it's the will of the upper one to pass Hochma below? Because we know that there are two phases here. So, why should there be a raising of MAN? One is because it's the direct light, which is phrase one, and the other is because there is an awakening of the left line.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, in the first form, Zeir Anpin rises because the upper one wants to bestow upon the lower one?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, it says that it's an awakening from direct light, meaning an awakening from above.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, it's not like there's an intention to Zeir Anpin. It's a demand from above that he would rise. It's as if Zeir Anpin rises for a MAN without the decision of the lower one but as a result of an expansion of a demand from above to pass the light of Hochma downwards. Am I understanding correctly? This is what I understand that's written. Maybe I should read it again.

M. Laitman: Seemingly what you say is correct, but he doesn't want to explain it that way. Where did you see that?

Student: So, let's read Phase One again.

Reading: (18:16) Item 50. He says, “It's impossible for YESHSUT to receive Hochma through AVI unless Zeir Anpin rises from MAN to YESHSUT, and then AVI removes their light of the posterior from Hochma, and this awakening extends from Bina of direct light, which extends the illumination of Hochma and Hassadim for Zeir Anpin of direct light.”

Student: (18:35) So, from this I'm asking, why does Zeir Anpin rise? Is it because there's a demand from above to pass the light of Hochma?

M. Laitman: And

Student: So, what is the intention? Zeir Anpin rises not because it's a demand from below.

M. Laitman: The deficiency comes from above.

Student: Yes. Is this correct?

M. Laitman: It happens, but…

Student: He also writes that it's, as it's written in item 5 in the Preface, the Preface talks about the four phases there. So, the process of Zeir Anpin rising in phase 1 because it's from above, means it doesn't have its own intention but it's because of the demand to bring down the... Now, the screens that are built, Zeir Anpin rises and receives the Light of Hochma. In order to build screens where, in all the degrees downwards so it can receive light of Hochma, right?

M. Laitman: Well, relatively, because he can't go down in the same way that he receives Hochma in YESHSUT.

Student: So, I wanted to understand. These screens that he builds, is it thanks to the Light of Hochma? Because isn't the Masach with the force of Hassadim?

M. Laitman: No, the Masach is in the power of Hochma.

Question (Women Moscow 18): (20:48) It says that Zeir Anpin, is it like a Rosh in relation to AVI?

M. Laitman: No, no. He determines the actions of AVI through the MAN from him to AVI, but not that he is the Rosh. He determines, he initiates the action that's correct. It's like a little child cry and asks, and then, by that, he activates the grown-ups who take care of him, who give him what he needs.

Question (Kyiv 1): (21:46) What does it mean that Zeir Anpin connects the two lines YESHSUT that are contradictory?

M. Laitman: We will learn later. We've already learned a bit about the three lines. So, when Zeir Anpin does the coupling of striking, the connection between the lines, the left and right, and appears as the middle line, by that he connects the right line with the left line, and then the light comes down from Bina through Zeir Anpin and onwards to Malchut. That will soon be there. I see, according to the headline.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:35) To continue more or less on the same topic, first of all, he says that Zeir Anpin is what initiates the connection of the two lines, that it doesn't come from above. Everything begins from below. What is the interest of Zeir Anpin to ask for the lines to connect?

M. Laitman: To continue the light from above.

Student: In the first phase, he wants to receive the light of Hochma, and because of that, the MAN comes. What is the MAN now that it comes to connect them? Also, in order to eventually obtain the light of Hochma? Is that…

M. Laitman: Why? When is now?

Student: In the second phase. The MAN that is asking now to connect them. Why? The bottom line is that it wants to obtain Hochma as well. Is it the same request?

M. Laitman: Ultimately, yes.

Student: In other words, the request itself is different. In the first, it asks directly for Hochma. In the second it asks, unite so that I will be able to receive.

M. Laitman: Yes, okay, what do we have left?

Reader: We have another part of the lesson on the topic of the power of internal dissemination of the Ten, selected excerpts.

M. Laitman: All right, where is that? Okay.

Student: Do we move to the next part of the lesson?
