Part 3: Baal HaSulam. From My Flesh I Shall See God (The Need to Attain the Emanator)
Reading: (00:14) From My Flesh I Shall See God. “The Need to Attain the Emanator...”
1. R. (03:35) We cannot get into the depth of this scrutiny, we don't have the right vessels but we should be impressed as much as we can.
Reading continued (03:57) “It is written, for you did not see any image. This requires...”
2. S. (09:25) He shows himself and he says just keep it in your memory. From this moment on, this depiction of the wealth he saw, that's called the light of faith that he keeps going without seeing the light by putting Him before even though he's not before Him?
R. No, no it needs to be revealed a little later.
Reading (10:17) “Attaining the Emanator” Again.
3. S. (16:03) What is the intellectual soul?
R. It is the result of an intellectual calculation.
S. So what is the soul in this relation?
R. There are several discernments of NRNHY. Nefesh which is the soul, we attributed both to the light and to the vessel this is why the question is what the question is about?
S. We say that Nefesh is the light that's revealed in the will to receive which is corrected in order to bestow the light of Nefesh, and here he's saying an intellectual soul, so is it part of the light?
R. No it is the part that is revealed in the vessels of a person which are on the level of Nefesh, the degree of Nefesh.
4. S. (17:40) It is written that you will make any depiction or see any picture. On the other hand there is a lot of description of the Creator, our father in the sky, the king?
R. On the degree of Nefesh?
S. I am asking?
R. We learn that this degree is still not sorted, not clarified and we can't point any discernments in regard to it.
S. I'm asking more in general, speaking obtaining the Emanator there are all kinds of images so how can you not think about them?
R. You can't think about them all together, you can't think about them all together, you have to continue until he is revealed in a way that is suitable for him.
S. But they're giving all these images to our father in the sky?
R. To use or reject it.
S. We do have to think about his relation towards us that's why we have these images, isn't it like that?
R. It's always like that if you feel something you feel with respect to your vessels, so of course it is about a person who still has not achieved spirituality and here talks about complete spirituality.
S. I'm thinking about us, a stage that we are in, so there are all kinds of images of the Creator’s relation towards us?
R. Well, there are plenty.
S. Those are depictions, we can't advance without this or think of the Creator?
R. This is why the Creator created them.
S. Why is there a flaw not to depict?
R. Although you they are in your vessels you're not advancing according to this and in this way it serves itself.
S. We don't advance towards it so what is the right way to use all these depictions?
R. I'm not taking it into account.
S. So the purpose of these images is that we reject them?
R. Seemingly, reportedly.
5. S. (20:22) What you just said, that's called the intellectual soul?
R. No, no we will continue with all these things, not now, it’s unrelated already. Everything I say will lead to many questions and I can’t do it right now, so we will wait.
