Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 3. Chapter Eleven. #1 ("It is known that the Ein Sof is completely formless.)

Reading Item 1 (00:23) “It is known that the Ein Sof is completely formless….

Reading Item 2 (02:35) “There are four elements in all things.

1. S. (03:52) In the first item he says the Creator decides to create the world according to the form of Atzilut. What does that mean?

R. All of the worlds are divided into what’s above Atzilut called the root the world of Ein Sof and Adam Kadmon and the world of Atzilut it’s like the foundation of all of the reality from the world of Atzilut come the lights to the world of Beria, Assiya, and Yetzira and that there what we’re speaking about the worlds BYA, that they ascend Atzilut, go down from Atzilut and about their connection to Atzilut, it’s all about Atzilut. Atzilut comes from the word Etzlo, at His place. He has all the roots He has all the forces, all the laws, all the commands and from there it’s conducted upon all of the worlds of BYA where all of the created beings are. Okay?

S. What does it mean that the worlds rise to Atzilut ?

R. There’s the ascents of the worlds and the descent of the world we will learn about it, it’s an addition of what the worlds of Beria, Assiya and Yetzira have if they get that addition that addition is expressed by having more matter and more forces meaning greater coarseness and a greater light and then the worlds of BYA and according to that rise to the world of Atzilut and in Atzilut they get an addition afterwards they descend back down.

S. When a Kabbalist attains the world of Atzilut he rises immediately from his degree to the world of Atzilut or through other worlds.

R. Of course through the worlds of BYA with worlds of BYA just to the world of Atzilut you can’t just rise, he according to his structure and the screens he has he’s in the world of BYA and afterwards causes through his work that the world he is in let us say the world of Beria that the world Beria will ascend to Atzilut or there’s an awakening from above as we say that the light comes from above and raises his world with it together to Atzilut we will learn about it and try to cause it. That this is how we will feel

2. S. (07:19) What is the meaning at the end of item one to Atzilut that would be emanated afterwards? What does it mean it will be emanated afterwards?

R. The world of Atzilut is formulated by it formulates all the world's, organizes them and by that it also that’s before us.

3. S. (07:57) He is talking here about the four foundations. Why Keter or the tip of Yod is not included in these four?

R. It’s theYesod but not one that’s revealed it’s not revealed there’s wind fire earth and it’s Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin and Malchut and their root.

S. So what is its role?

R. It awakens everything it sustains everything it makes everything but everything it happens is revealed in them even though it comes from the Keter.

4. S. (08:51) It says here it clarifies the expansion of the light of Ein Sof and he mentions the four, the Awzen, Hozen, Peh. What does it have to do with the organs of the body and all the things that he explains that Yod Hey Vav Hey is actually the root of…

R. He gives you an example that just like in man there, all these organs the four elements, speaking, talking, hearing, Ohr, fire, water, wind, earth, Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, Malchut, all these four elements are there, everywhere in every level, just they have different names.

S. Because you said it has nothing to do with anything in this world or anything in this….

R. That’s not important, there are connections just from above downward and not from below upward.

5. S. (09:52) Item one sounds opposite what we learned. We learned that Ein Sof to create everything restricted itself and here in item one it says that Ein Sof to create everything expanded and spread.

R. After it restricted itself then it expanded and after expanded it restricted again.

Reading Item 3 (10:16) “There’s vapor and Ruach in AHP…..

6. R. Vapor means reflected light so there is expansion through Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, Malchut from above downward and where the Malchut stands and according to that it raises the vapor the reflected light so as much as the screens are lower the vapor has to be stronger, so that’s how he explains it here in the example just as we feel it.

Item 3 continued (11:07) “The organs of the Awzen Enaim, of the ears….”

7. R. Try it, put a finger in your ear and you will feel that in there, not your nose, your ear and you will feel that in your ear there is like something’s caught in there, like a wind, that’s what he’s saying, it’s an example to what's happening in spirituality.

Reader Continues (12:02) “It feels as though there is a great sound inside…”

8. R. (12:36) So what’s he saying that it’s an example of what we have in direct and in reflected light that in these organs the ear the nose and mouth there’s like an inner wind inside them and in that way we can supposedly reveal Him in our world so in spirituality we will discover how it also expands.

Reading Item 4 (13:05) “The Awzen Einayim are Bina which are phase two

9. S. (14:25) Does the state of the vapor cancel all our five senses?

R. Vapor means reflected light.

S. But after the vapor he talks about the senses, the nose, the ear.

R. To the extent that you have reflected light, that’s how your vessel is measured, that’s why it is written Hevel hevelim al kol hevel, that the main thing is the vapor.

Reading Item 5 (15:20) “Sight is the light of Haya…..”

10. R. (16:15) Yes.Gradually it expands.

Reading Item 6 (16:20) “Vapor in the Enayim….”

Reading Item 7 (17:33) “The expansion of the light to make vessels…”

11. S. (17:49) Meaning that the True Light is the light of Hochma that with it we can make vessels but the lights that are less from Hochma you can’t make vessels out of it why, because we know that from the coarseness one two three root one two there is no strong reflected light we can’t make vessels you can’t really receive in order to bestow but only resist reception.

Item 7 (18:21) “Since this sight was extended from….”

Item 8 (19:19) “The three vapors became the vessels…”

12. R. (20:03) If we are working with the vessels of Malchut, Zeir Anpin and Bina so we actually can’t still really stabilize the real vessels we don’t have enough coarseness of the root one and two and only if we ascend higher in our coarseness to three and four that is where there is already enough of a big will to receive and if we work above that we can establish big reflected light and then by that we can receive an order to bestow.

13. S. (20:48) We read here from all of these items different kinds of vessels Awzen, Hotem, Peh and different kinds of Ohr Hozer, reflected light and here Baal HaSulam says the perception of reality is built on this vapor on this Ohr Hozer, what does that mean that the Ohr Hozer reflected light?

R. To the extent that we have reflected light called vapor you remember like it’s written Hevel hevalim kol hevel, is vapor ,what does that mean, that everything is accepted in the reflected light and only according to that we can see things just like you can’t feel waves in your brain or on your forehead or waves you have in your eyes but only in your ear as he says if you close your ear or your nose and in your mouth so that’s why everything depends on reflected light and the reflected light depends on the coarseness what we have in our vessels so root one two three four so two three and four has sufficient coarseness that’s why they can give a great reflected light that’s what he is speaking about here. Okay?

S. You said this expression Hevel hevalim kol hevel, people got different meanings from it.

R. If you take the whole Bible, Torah, Neviim, all the books that the Kabbalists wrote in all faiths and religions you will see that nobody understands what is written there because everything that is written was written by a Kabbalist from what they attain and whoever reads them isn't ready for this that’s why he doesn't understand what he is reading about instead of the language of branches he is reading a corporeal language what can you do that’s how all of humanity is but soon they’ll all start understanding and feeling and learning it will be very quick that people will receive a new mind new spirit they will start feeling that they belong to this that it’s easy for them it’s close to them you’ll see they’ll need to be the teachers of that generation.

14. S. (24:16) You cannot build serious vessels because there’s not enough coarseness. So what are we actually missing for those?

R. Coarseness and a screen.

S. What does that mean? What about the light of Hassadim?

R. By enough of sufficient coarseness of levels two, three and four you can establish a strong reflected light and in it start discovering bestowal and the forms of bestowal you discover it is called the upper worlds or the presence of the Creator.

S. Is the reflected light the light of Hassadim that the created beings make?

R. Reflected light is reflected light.

S. What is the light of Hassadim?

R. That’s what is extended to the vessels that in those vessels there are not enough of a screen and coarseness, that the screen and coarseness for them is root one two and half of three.

S. And that builds the vessels? Only in that way you can build the vessels?

R. No, that is called that they only have the light of Hassasim if they want to discover the light of Hochma, you need a greater coarseness, a screen and reflected light and then they can establish the vessels to reveal the light of Hochma too.

S. Wonderful so now how do we build the coarseness, how is this coarseness created from this whole story?

R. The coarseness is created through our work as much as we are willing to connect between us.

S. The force of overcoming and all that.

R. Correct.

15. S. (26:15) What did you mean that the light of Hochma makes the vessels if it already expanded in the vessels?

R. The light of Hochma can only be revealed in the vessels that have coarseness with a screen.

S. Yes, but you said that it also makes the vessels. It's like it’s being revealed in the vessels and makes the vessels, it’s not clear. What does it mean that the light of Hochma makes the vessels?

R. The light of Hochma that expands makes the vessels from the will to receive.

S. It builds something new. What is to make vessels?

R. To make vessels means to bring a deficiency and force that they’ll be able to organize exactly according to the lights that are before them, soon soon we’ll talk about it more.

Reading chapter 12 (27:22) “Chapter 12 explains the coupling……”

Reading Item 1 (27:42) “The vessels were made…..”

16. R. (28:39) That includes the first letter from the ABC and the last letter that’s why it’s called Malchut, that is Malchut for the ten Sefirot of direct light and Keter for the ten Sefirot of reflected light.

Reading item 2 (25:59) “And God saw this is a look…………….”

17. S. (29:51) A question about the previous chapter. Actually according to what I understood there was no possibility for a person to reach the completion of His creation because he wasn’t given to begin with the expansion of light they were without the light of Hochma. Is that correct? Was that the shattering that was meant to be even before it was created?

R. No, first the Partzuf of Adam was only in the light of Hassadim and the coarseness of root one and two then when it pulled its Orlah as it’s written that he wanted to receive in order to bestow in the coarseness of three and four then by that he actually sinned until then he existed without a sin he had nothing he was complete righteous in heaven in the quality of Bina that’s called Gan Eden, heaven and he existed in that in Katnut smallness but if it wants to reach the coarseness of three and four and use it that is called that he entered the coupling with Eve, Havah, and that caused the sin because these vessels of three and four he didn’t have a screen in order to bestow on them so it turned out that he sinned he received in order to receive that is why he shattered the Partzuf just like in the world of Nekudim and smashed and broke into many pieces and that’s all of humanity until today.

S. Meaning he didn't receive the potential to perform the correction of creation to begin with because he didn’t receive the light of Hochma that can work with the screen and do reflected light he didn’t have.

R. He received everything just in a shattered way that he pulled in all of phase four and wanted to receive in it in order to bestow meaning he pulled all the light of Ein Sof to enter his phase four and then that whole vessel blew up the lights departed from all of its discernments all of its phases and the vessel shattered and what we need to correct our those vessels because we are all parts of them all of these vessels are the souls of all humans from here until Gmar Tikkun. Okay?

18. S. (33:31) What is the meaning of the dividing or differentiation?

R. What difference?

S. He writes and God divided.

R. To discern between the vessels are reception and the vessels of bestowal.

Reading Item 3 (33:57) “In the look there is direct light………….”

19. R. (35:22) When the light expands in the vessels in such a way there’s a difference between lights and vessels and vessels and vessels, next.

Reading Item 4 (35:29) “In the beginning of the expansion of the direct light….’

20. S. (36:16) Why should there be nine friends instead of one friend besides me? Is it because it is hard to get the lights?

R. Why to have nine friends, you mean and not one friend it’s in order to have more or to be easier to attain the wholeness of the vessel we gain a lot by connecting to ten because by this we resemble the structure of the spiritual world and you see that still there is some kind of limitation some kind of resemblance between the ear the nose the mouth reflected light direct light soon we’ll talk about hands and legs all these organs how they’re connected and what’s happening in them that is very complex and it's worth being in some kind of resemblance to the upper world on one hand and on the other hand obviously as it is written the multitude of the many is two so it is enough to have two friends to keep all of the spiritual discernments but it’s much more difficult than having more than two that’s how it happens to us.
