The Rosh, Toch, Sof in Each Partzuf and the Order of Hitlabshut of the Partzufim in One Another

Item 50 (0:16) “You already know the difference between the two Malchuts.”

1. R. (2:30) [Rav drawing] We have been studying this for a while already so we have the entrance of the lights to the Partzuf where the Partzuf calculates at the place of the Peh. Afterwards there is an entrance to the inner part where the light enters the body, the desire, until the Tabur. Then we have the Sof, the vacant place, the empty place, the Sof of the Partzuf. This is the Toch, Rosh and this is the Sium, the ending.

2. S. (4:03) What are these two kinds of Malchuts in the Partzuf? Is it the Rosh and Toch?

R. This whole thing is Malchut, only we have Malchut of Rosh, Malchut of Toch and Malchut of Sof. But everything is Malchut, it is all desire.

S. We are talking about always working in restricted Malchut, the Partzuf is a restricted Malchut?

R. Correct, so the Malchut that restricted itself, even before. This is Ein Sof, then there was the first restriction, then afterwards we have this action that the Partzuf comes out, the first portion that we get in order to bestow.

Reader continues: (5:16) “Know that these two kinds of ten Sefirot extend from the….”

3. R. (7:05) Here he gives us all kinds of information that confuses us. He says this: In the Rosh we have 10 Sefirot, in the Toch we have 10 Sefirot, and in the Sof we have 10. But when we're speaking of the entire Partzuf we divide the Rosh, Toch and Sof into three parts. For these three parts we say that we have three parts in the Rosh, three parts in the Toch, and 4 parts in the Sof - HBD, HGT and NHY. Or we can also say three parts in the Sof too, as Tifferet is also divided. Well, let’s say 4, so you have 10 altogether. This is how he divides it. You can divide it into all kinds of other divisions. Usually, we still relate to the Partzuf as 10, 10 and 10 because each 10 in the Rosh, Toch and Sof, they all work in their own manner and their own style each part. But when we speak about the entire Partzuf we say that it is one Partzuf of ten Sefirot and not that these parts are separate Rosh, Toch and Sof. More and more, as there are a lot of things here, a lot of changes.

4. S. (9:00) What does it mean that the coupling Rosh?

R. The head is called Ten attributes and they all need to calculate what they do with the light, with the Creator and what contact they can be with and in this way, they come out.

S. Why is the coupling in the head?

R. Because that is where Partzuf begins from, by rejecting the light he feels that the light comes to him and then he rejects it all back and then calculates how much can he receive in order to bestow? To the extent that he can't receive in order to bestow it is in the Sof.

5. S. (10:23) He's speaking about the same desire for steak, suppose there is a division of ten Sefirot in the Rosh toToch and Sof over the same desire?

R. Correct, but just know that it's not like an iron law, everything you can take from creation you can separate it from creation and say here are 10 Sefirot. Anything you can point at and say that it exists you are already saying that it is 10 Sefirot, all the l Sefirot are there and all the connection between them and so on.

S. What did the 10 Sefirot of Sof express over the desire to bestow or through certain desire?

R. Because they can't receive as each and every desire, all and all together you have ten desires.

S. I bestow to the Creator?

R. When you, in each and every desire you calculate as a calculation is in Rosh, as much as you can and as much as you can't. As much as you can you receive it in Toch, and as much as you can't receive again it remains in Sof. From all ten desires you have parts that are in the Rosh which are all ten desires in the force that only calculates, but afterwards from the Rosh they are divided into parts that can receive which is the Toch and parts which cannot receive which is the Sof. What isn't clear?

S. That the vessel bestows to the creator making the calculation over a steak for instance, is there a part that cannot bestow?

R. Of course there’s a part that can ever bestow, until Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction, you have such parts. As they say what they can bestow is a very thin line, the Creator wants to bestow something whole and we can only receive from him a thin line, only this, is all we can receive until the end of correction and then we will get it all.

6. S. (13:26) This thin line is basically the 10 Sefirot that we receive or 9?

R. We will see that after words, it depends on how we speak about. The receiving in order to bestow means we are receiving above Malchut. That is why it is supposedly called Sefirot and Malchut remains empty.

7. S. (14:18) The calculation in the Rosh, how does that happen? Because if I place my pleasure in the Creator how does this calculation happen with respect to adhesion with the Creator?

R. Just like the guest and the host, what is there to speak about here really? I am with my desires, all my desires are such (see drawing) these are all my desires, referencing to Toch and Sof, and here I discover the Creator's attitude toward me and then I calculate with my will to receive towards Him, and as much as from the relationships between us I can truly go against my desire and bestow to Him. I calculate and according to that I can receive.

S. How do I make a calculation without going into the desire?

R. How can it be that I don't enter the desires? Of course, I enter all of my desires and all of the desires that I need are all standing at the Peh.

S. Potentially they are but I'm not activating them?

R. Yes of course I see what is before me, let's say I'm sitting next to a table and I have all the portions in front of me and I start calculating whether I can eat this or not? if it is in order to bestow to the host? according to my desire I'm willing to receive everything. If I want to calculate to the Host then, I don't know what to do exactly anymore? How much can I do or cannot do?

S. This calculation for the host: how does it act correctly, there's a desire and there's a connection with the Creator for his behalf, how do these 2 things manage?

R. It is called that I am performing a coupling by striking; that even though I want to enjoy it myself, I restrict myself and calculate, what can I do with my desire that wants to enjoy but I want to invert it for the benefit of the host. That's a problem, how can we organize that correctly?

S. How to organize this properly? how do I seemingly not enjoy but at the same time connected to the Creator?

R. You are in contact with the Creator because you are enjoying but enjoying none by receiving, that you are then disconnected from the Creator. But that you are bestowing to Him and then you are connected to Him and then, you also must enjoy all of the portions that He is giving you otherwise, how can you bestow to him? Along with that you need except for enjoying the portions, you also need to enjoy that you are bestowing to the Host. All of these calculations you are doing and performing them.

S. The most important calculation here is by my pleasure to give the Creator or the pleasure itself?

R. You must enjoy the food and you also must enjoy that you are giving contentment to the Creator. The pleasure has to be yours and that you are bestowing to the Creator, this is why? How much can you receive in order to bestow? very little, this is why it's called ‘a very thin line’ like I drew here. Instead of receiving all of the 100% that the Creator wants to give you, you feel yourself with only a very thin line, a very small portion, you can't handle more. Because of the pleasure that you add to the portion you have, you have some kind of a plate but because you received it from the Creator and by eating, you are bestowing to Him, and you feel a great pleasure as much as you are bestowing. You can't receive more than that very thin line, a small teaspoon yet, it fills you all the way.

8. S. (20:40) I see all the dishes on the table but I haven't eaten them yet, so how do I know what I'm capable of?

R. When you perform the restriction and you decide that you really want to do it for the sake of the Creator, then you will start feeling what opportunities you have before you. Before that they can't show you the portions because then you will just steal them.

S. Where in this drawing is the mating Malchut and the ending Malchut?

R. The mating Malchut is in the Peh of Rosh and the ending Malchut, the reception of the light in order to bestow, is in the Tabur, and the Malchut which completely ends is in the Sof, the end.

9. S. (21:43) In the Peh, the desire only feels in the thin line or in the circle?

R. In the mouth of the head you feel the desire of the Creator to benefit the created being, as much as the created being is able to feel the desire of the Creator in order to bestow. The created being never gets the upper light, the upper light never gives the created being more than it can sustain, never. Because the Creator doesn't have a plan to fail the created being, what for? He wants to bring him to correction.

10. S. (22:55) Can we say that in every calculation that the light enters the Partzuf, can we say that the height of Toch rises and the height of Sof diminishes?

R. Yes you can say that, as we can see in the drawings you have time so go into the archive and you will see many drawings and it will be clarified from there.

11. S. (23:46) The light is without form until it enters Partzuf and then it takes on various forms. How is this form defined? Is this a thought from the creature that encapsulates the light?

R. The desire of the created being formats the light that comes into it.

S. So what exactly is the vessel or should we view this also a Atzmuto?

R. It is a desire, nothing but that. A desire.

S. Can we speak of the desire independently of the light?

R. For the study this is what we say that we feel the desire so the desire that we feel is also a result of the light, of the bestowal of the light; We are speaking about the light and the desire as if they are separate, but if there is a desire it means a light is already organizing and formatting it.
