Rabash. Article No. 16, (1990). What Is “For Lack of Spirit and for Hard Work,” in the Work? (00.38)
Rav’s Introduction:
1.S. (36:20) He writes that each time a person is to strengthen and not move from praying to the Creator and he says the Creator must want to true desire to appear in me and he says that that he receives the evil and understands that it's the career notifying him and he says later that he does not leave from giving thanks to the Creator for revealing his true state to him. What's this matter of the two opposites, the prayer and the gratitude that he's strengthened that he does not stop thanking the Creator for revealing to him his true state?
R. That he understands that the Creator who created everything including the whole of nature within the person, he knows how to take a person through all these states in order to create within him all kinds of discernments that so that we can understand feeling obtain what is happening in reality that the Creator created and by that the person comes closer to the Creator
S. These are two different states?
R. A thousand states it doesn't matter
S. In this he does not stop thanking the Creator for revealing his true state to him. That's great right, but the evil is revealed to him and he needs the aid of the Creator which is an advanced state that brings them close to Lishma,a very high state but what is the state that he strengthens and doesn't stop thanking the Creator
R. Advancement even though he doesn't know precisely what the future states should be he's asking the Creator to advance.
2. S. (38:42) It's not clear here but he writes a few times that the Creator notifies a person,how can I feel that the Creator notifies me of something? How can I also be convinced that it's actually the Creator and not my evil inclination? What does it mean exactly how do I know that it comes from Him?
R. Everything comes from the Creator you said it correctly and I need to accept it this way and each time with anything that I feel I should try to get closer to the Creator that is all.
S. Meaning what is revealed in me I can say the Creator reveal to me?
R. Without a doubt
3. S. (39:59) A state of the burdening of the heart what he describes there that Shechina is in the dust and there's no fuel and in this state of the burdening of the heart one feels that there's no fuel even to make the smallest action of connection in the Ten and no one to do an action and you have no fuel. The question is when we do some action in the Ten despite the burden, despite the hardship,is it a type of action of bestowal? Is there some sort of connection here?
R. I can't say that all of the actions are actions of bestowal or not but for certain what they reveal what they discover is that this is what the Creator wants them to do.
S. What's the best advice to work with the state of burdening of the heart?
R. You connect between us and carry it out.
S. The more we advance, the more will advance more.? Will the burdening of the heart increase? Let's say I can advance in some small actions and it will become even harder for me?
R. Possibly
S. Is it something that accompanies us the entire path?
R. Yes.
4. S. (41:50) He writes it's hard for him to believe that the Creator hears a prayer, what is the state exactly?
R. That the Creator ,the upper force here's the prayer of the person?
S. What to do in a state where it's hard for one to believe that the Creator hears his prayer?
R. A person feels that either he's taking into account that the Creator is hearing or is not hearing or maybe he's hearing with different forms that are between and so one should one certainly cannot change the Creator or manipulate Him so that he will hear better but rather he has to turn himself so that the Creator seemingly hears his voice his prayer?
S. When does the Creator hear a man's prayer?
R. Always, there are no limitations in that.
5. S. (43:17)To continue the friend,when does the person pray for the correct thing?
R. When he arranges himself directly opposite the Creator.
S. When will a person understand that he receives some burdening of the heart that it is for his benefit?
R. If he accepts that everything that he has, everything that he feels the Creator does it he operates in all of his body and all of his desires and thought, in everything that there is in a person if the person understands it then he accepts that the Creator governs the entire body of the person and arranges everything inside of him then the person in return tries from all the parts of his body to respond to the Creator.
S. The person makes the effort and all the parts of his body to respond to the Creator?
R. Yes
S. What does it mean that I respond to the Creator and all the organs of my body?
R. All the bones shall tell, it means that he understands and feels that he is under the governance of the Creator and the Creator who created him is constantly holding him and the person awakens completely towards the Creator.
S. It turns out that in the first stages there's nothing else besides him and the person needs to maintain that and until a person doesn't hold on to None Else Besides Him the ascent and descents continue?
R. Also yes it doesn't hinder it that there is none else besides him that there is only one force that operates in reality but this force is the one that makes the changes.
S. Because it turns out from this article that the Creator is constantly advancing me, but I don't see it whether I suffer in my will to receive and when I pray to the Creator like I'm crying out to him take away the suffering from my will to receive and the Creator's responses is that it gives me even more burdening. It sounds a bit funny that a person ultimately what is he supposed to be asking for the suffering? We're not asking for our suffering, that's not our method but how does he come to agreement with what the Creator does with them and that it explained here that he has room to exit from the will to receive and to get vessels of bestowal?
R.. When does the Creator, the person when does a person receive vessels of the bestowal? When does a person reach vessels the bestowal? We can't say, it's in the hands of the Creator. A person doesn't know the depths of his creation, the way, the plan and therefore he can't say that following such and such a time or the certain number of ascents or descents or certain incidents, I will come to my complete correction.
S. It turns out the entire path of a person is always in conflict with the Creator? With what he does to him? Why is it called a dispute?
R. Why is it called a dispute?
S. Because I'm praying through all vessels of bestowal ?
R. You want to be connected with the Creator?
S. Yeah that's the goal. At some point we understand that we have to be in connection with the Creator
R. As much as you still discover that you're not in the right connection with the Creator, you have a subject on which you can pray? So what is the problem? The Creator is constantly revealing to you that you are still not in a complete adhesion.
6. S. (48:25) I understood from the article that being impatient, the kingdom of heaven is in the dust that it's not important for us to bestow to the Creator. He talks about also not being in high spirits to show that there is important for it, so Rabash says in the articles in other articles that we have to give friends spirit, to raise their spirits and here he talks about this that we need to believe that by faith we can exit the will to receive for oneself to bestowal that if we already believed it that it was possible it would happen, so in the Ten and in our society what are we lacking to really give spirit in this matter?
R. To serve as an example. to serve as an example to all of the friends.
S. In this to seemingly raise the importance of the matter?
R. Of course this is included in that.
7. S. (40:49) Sometimes when we want to show an example to the friends that the work is easy,is light and we continue happily, sometimes it causes rejection in the friends.
R. Why do you need to show it in such a way?
S. We say that if the work is hard it's a sign that there's a lack of spirit, right?
R. I don't know why you tie this with that so much.
S. Then we're not supposed to give spirit to the friends? In this that we show our work is in joy and the overcoming is in reason?
R. It's unrelated to it being easier or not easy. The joy comes out of how much we weigh the work, if the work is precious it's not important for us if it's easy, one is unrelated to the other.
S. I'll ask otherwise, what is the right example that we can give because you said that we need to be an example to all the friends. What's the correct example?
R. How much he respects the states that he's going through, that's it. It's unrelated to if it's easy or difficult, it all depends only on the person's relation. There are people who are in a very difficult walk but for them it's a stroll, mountain climbers or others and there are people that seemingly are not doing such difficult work or it's not difficult at all but for them it's all for pleasure. Everything depends on what the person determines.
8. S. (52:03) He writes here that a person needs to believe that the main pleasure that the Creator wanted to give the created beings is in holiness, he writes this in many articles and it sounds like some egoistic motivation, that all the pleasures and holiness.How are we supposed to use that?
R. All the pleasure will be in Kedusha, holiness meaning in the conditions in in order to bestow
S. Right, then he says that all the pleasures beforehand are just small flavors and tastes like you're getting or coming to a store without money and all we live off or are these tastes and the true pleasures that are holiness? Are we supposed to remind each other of this all the time in the Ten? What is waiting for us, it's like this egoistic motivation that he's giving us.s
R. We can build the system of relations between us so that we will feel pleasure that are found in, in order to bestow.
S. Just remind each other of this all the time?
R. Yes yes.
S. Can we use this in dissemination too? Right?
R. Possibly.
S. To explain to people?
R. Maybe.
9. S. (53:28) What does it mean that Malchut saves israel?
R. That it begins to shine in such a way that it becomes clear what is the purpose of creation,what's the correction of creation, what comes from the Creator and what comes from the created being, and then all of the means become clear in order to reach correction.
10. S. (54:24) There is an excerpt here in the article that Malchut couldn't save Israel. What is it dependent on? Whether she will save Israel or not, is it importance?
R. When there are not enough forces it's considered that her hand is too short that she cannot do it and reach it.
11. S. (55:04) Many times Malchut is mentioned over here and Malchut called the spirit rises up. What is this Malchut that speaks of here?
R. It is our common will to receive, that we can be connected through it and then if we can connect in such a way, and depict it as being between us, then we want to raise it to the Creator. This is already the general Malchut.
S.It's a unique desire between us?
R. Yes.
S. That this needs to be felt as something common to us?
R. Of course.
S. Then how can we check this work each time in the Ten? That we have this between us?
R. If you will start yearning for it then you will start feeling it because this connection exists already, however on a very small scale.
12. S. (56:27) I wanted to ask about changing our life, that this is what the Creator is pushing us to and that the bestow will always be out of thought, out of our connection between us and our yearning to be together?
R. Yes, of course. This is exactly how it is.
13. S. (57:11) Why does the Creator hear the prayer? What is our connection with the Creator through prayer?
R. The appeal to the Creator is called the prayer. There's a prayer with request, there's a prayer with gratitude, however it is called a prayer.
14. S. (57:44) Sometimes it's felt that we found all the answers to our questions. What's the difference between questions that we asked to give pleasure to the Creator and questions that are in intention to receive?
R. I didn't understand the question. Please repeat it.
S. What's the difference between questions we ask in order to give pleasure to the Creator and those that are and those that are in order to receive?
R. The difference is in that.
15. S. (58:38) Here it says that we need to have a complete Kli, to receive the light, but is there a law that we will receive more or less the light based on our Kli ?The question is here it says that we need to have a complete Kli in order to receive the light, isn't it a rule that we receive the light more or less based on the Kli?
R. Yes.
16. S. (59:50) It says that as long as the evil has not been revealed completely a person doesn't have a complete vessel. What does it mean the complete revelation of evil?
R. This has been given to man and he must open this until the end of correction and correct it.
S. We learned that the Creator reveals to a person the evil gradually and here it turns out that first I have to discover the complete evil and then I get some help, so how can we accept it and get it in such a full manner?
R. The Creator illuminates in his light towards his light and what he reveals in a person can utilize this.
S. If a person enters a state of assent it means that the Creator is already helping me?
R. Of course, how else can you rise?
S. Or is he just giving me a pause, a break?
R. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that you are above this.
17. S. (01:1:36) What does it mean that the Creator hears every prayer? You say that the Creator hears every prayer, it must be different between to the Creator that answers every prayer?
R. There is sight and there is hearing, it's a connection in two different lanes, so of course the sight is greater and hearing is less ,but still these are two lanes in which we have a connection between the upper and lower one.
S. What is the connection to hearing?
R. Hearing is a connection that is more in mercy, it could be a bit of Hochma, but the connection in sight and seeing will be a connection in light of Hochma
S. Where does the Mad come from? The intention? Do you see the combination between hearing and seeing?
R. There is sight and there is hearing and there is also a combination between them.
S. The Mad? Where does the MAD, the response, the answer to the prayer come from?
R. The answer is felt in the same lack that we raised to him in prayer.
S. Is there a difference between I understand,that I understand I feel that the Creator hears every prayer verses I understand that the Creator answers every prayer?
R. The Creator hears and also answers both. But this that he hears it's sure the city answers it's sure the question is to what extent do we hear his response.
S. For example, my child everytime, he repeats what he says sometimes and finally I say I hear you, I hear you I understand, so we also repeat our prayer, but there's no answer . Like the Creator doesn't say I understand it, be patient. It's all above reason and just continue to ask and ask so what should we do at that state and when should we move on to a new prayer or something like that?
R.You'll begin to feel at the time when you begin to connect even more between you.
S. Sometimes I feel like that, sometimes I don't feel any answer, so I move on to the next prayer. Does it matter if I feel or I don't or should I?
R. There are many states and I cannot explain each and everyone to you and according to our sensation of course each one has his own impressions where we need just to feel to gather these impressions and to continue onward.
S. There is the prayer of Shema. It's like a reflection, that the Creator hears and we need to hear, so if I don't hear. I don't understand the answer. I don't feel it so what exactly is the purpose of Israel and Bnei Baruch should hear the creator?
R. We need to reach a state that we perceive in our vessels the response of the Creator, why? Because it tells us that we are tied to him.
S. What is the next degree for us so that we receive an answer from the Creator?
R. that we hear him and we give thanks to Him and in this He brings us closer.
S. it's difficult to speak and listen at the same time.
R. All right we'll advance and succeed. It's still early.
18. S. (01:07:32) Rabash in his writings it says that a person who learns and tries to reach Lishma and he tries and sees that he has regressing even though he studies for years and this is true and he sits and he hears and he studies for years and he sees that he's not advancing and he sees that other others are advancing and he's seemingly regressing and it's very painful and truly more than physical pain, this feeling of lack of advancement, this physical difficrt's going to continue until the end of correction?
R. Not until the end of correction. Where are we still just in the beginning to get into some lanes so it will change and many things will change.
S. Because the fact that we study, let's say TES or some other kind of study and sometimes we feel that we don't even understand. We see it for years and study.
R. It's not important because specifically it's the wisdom of Kabbalah. The understanding is dependent on the attainment and not how wise one is. It says that the wise are not learning, you've heard that before?
S. Yes.
R. What does it mean that the wise one does not learn? He doesn't learn.
S. What does it mean he doesn't study? He doesn't learn? What does a person do if he tries? He sees the others are advancing and it's good but it makes you, it gives you envy and pain?
R. To attain. To attain and he still does not attain and he demands attainment. It seems to him that he's not learning and that he's not advancing, and his friend next to him isn't demanding attainment. It seems to him that he is advancing right? Every day, he hears a bit more of something and understands something in his mind, so there's like this and there's like that.
S. The question is if it's a matter of the wisdom of the study or should it come in the feeling?
R. It needs to come in sensation.
S. There could be a state where everything opens up to a person?
R. Yes
S. Meaning a person should sit patiently even if it takes 20 years?
R. Yes
S. Even if it comes or if it doesn't come?
R. Correct, correct.
19. S. (01:10:42) In every state that goes by let's say I go through a certain state I can look at the state from the outside and say I'm grateful for the Creator who let me see that he's taking me through this, whether it's a good feeling or a bad feeling is it correct should I always look at myself like that from the outside?
R. Yes
S. Ok and from this point or perspective how do I connect it to the work in the Ten? Do I connect with the fact that I'm looking from the outside of the friends? Who connects with the Tenthen? In this work?The one who's going through these states? the one who's going through the states or the one who's looking from the outside and he wants to ascribe everything to the Creator? Which one of them connects in the Ten in which part of me?
R. Which part of me?
S. Yes, what is even considered me in this work?
R. You're asking a bunch of questions. Ask one question.
S. There is the one who's going through these states, the will to receive who goes to these states and reveals these states and there's one who's looking at the states from the outside, which one should connect with theTen? The one who is going through these states should connect in the Ten or the one looking from the outside?
R. There are states that go over him and he feels that in this he's tied to the Ten. He needs these states to pass over him to connect to the Ten.
S. How can I connect so this part within me goes through the states? How do I connect them to the Ten, that is unclear?
R. You want to get closer to them, to hug them, to be together with them, in one desire and one goal, and the Creator who is one to all and by this you feel that you are closer to them.
S. Inside this work of connection, the one looking from the outside what should he do? What should I do when I look at my attempts to connect with the Ten? How can I look at it from the outside? What are the discernments that I should discover there?
R. Why do you need this?
S. That's what I started with. Should I even look from the outside, this is what is important?
R.We need to see ourselves that we're truly in the society and want to be invested in it and feel the Creator that's in it.
S. Then the question is, how can I ascribe to the Creator even in these states, because I'm immersed in whatever I'm going through?
R. In all the states that don't let me realize myself in the society, then I also ascribe it to the Creator, and ask of Him.
S. I can ascribe to the Creator from inside the state or should I disconnect from the state and look at it from the outside and only then I can ascribe it to him and give thanks to him?
R. Both. both, I can be tied to the group and to the Creator and to pray along with this and I can also seemingly disconnect and to exit this.
20. S. (01:14:37) When man feels that the work is hard, to difficult,he is forced to ask on himself, it's difficult so the plea is for his own difficulty, and if the Creator helps him so he feels that he gets some illumination and then he can start asking for the friends, so will it be this way that a person asks for himself, gets light and then can pass it on? To the others, the question is because here it seems that there is no exit out of our nature. If I have an illumination I can ask for the others and if I don't I'm forced to ask for myself, it feels like it's the wrong thing to do.
R. To begin with we need to try and disconnect with everyone from the others and to see oneself completely alone, and then enter into the Kli, and in the gap between this observation, pray for that gap.
S. Thank you and another thing, it's clear that let's say a person comes to the lesson and feels that the work is difficult, it's clear that the Creator is giving him a place to scrutinize what he's working for? A person starts asking who am I working for if the work wasn't difficult I want to scrutinize it I wouldn't have anything towards what to scrutinize when a person does scrutinize what does he do?Towards who is he working? What is his relation to the friends and what should he do with it?
R. I don't understand
S. When a person feels that the work is difficult, how should he work with his Ten and what should he do with it?
R. Connect to them even more.
S. The connection itself that's a difficult feeling too. The work is hard,I don't have a problem with that. Whether it's hard or easy, what should be my attitude when I don't have illumination, how should I relate to the friends and what should I do with them and how should I use them for their own benefit and what should I do with them?
R. Connect as much as possible so that in that common vessel we will be able to see the true state more.
S. Can you give an example of what the true state is because that's what we're lacking? I'm always in a lie and where is that true state, not how it's revealed but what is really happening behind the scenes here and what could I do for the 10 in such a state?
R. Since you want to see the true state, that's your contribution already because you were in the Ten.
21. S. (01:18:34) Lately the feeling is that you answer questions in a very brief way,very short and then it makes you really make an effort when you ask. I wanted to ask on your behalf what is the demand from us the way that you're answering, what do we need to do in order to ask in a better way?
R. If we read an article and adhere to it,understand it and everyone hears then we barely need to ask, and if we do then we write down these questions and later scrutinize them and are gathering of friends and if it's not clear to us still then we ask.
S. Should we only ask only when there is a truly strong need?
R. Yes, when there's a real need for that question to be answered.
S. What does it mean that we scrutinize the question in the Yeshivat Haverim?
R. We asked him let's say you wrote down and he wrote down questions from the lesson and then you ask these questions and you ask the friends,what do they think about it?
S. I asked my Ten and they have to answer me.?
R. Yes, then it will give you room for advancement.
22. S. (01:20:55) I feel that every time we do this it brings a great awakening in the Ten,that a friend brings a question and we scrutinize it there's always the feeling of that we wake up but we don't always have time to do that we don't do it enough.
R. That you should do the scrutinies between you.
S. There's a lot of important things we read in an article during the day and it takes up the whole meeting so what's the importance of this thing to scrutinize a friend's deficiency together and to chew it good because to me it gives me much more awakening than reading an article.
R. Okay so we need to scrutinize things but in a short and thrifty way, not just burn time.
S. Is there a place for both? Or let's say we need to choose between reading an article or a friend bringing a question and we discuss it. Is there a way to decide what to do?
R. You need to learn how to talk in a short manner that's understood to everyone.
23. S. (01:22:18) Only the Creator knows when the vessel will be whole and man cannot so man cannot, when is the true need for the help of the creator, the true need that I'll have a whole vessel, everybody wants to know when the Creator will help that's all the questions that I'm hearing now.
R. That's not the question.
S. What is?
R. Because whether the Creator helps or not, that is the question. I agree with his attitude towards me. He helps, hHe helps, if He doesn't help, he doesn't as long as I'm connected with him.
S. What does it mean to need the Creator's help?
R. In order to come to it in which I want to adhere to Him, I want to be adhered to Him.
S. To adhere to the Creator?
R. Yes
S. To adhere to the Creator? How will I not deceive myself ? What does it mean to adhere to the Creator?
R. That I want Devekut, adhesion with Him and if not I don't want it I want I pray to the Creator to give me that desire.
24. S. (01:24:17) It's written in the article and Moses spoke to the people of Israel about the redemption and they wouldn’t listen to him because of the difficult work. Can you explain that? Does that mean a lack of faith?
R. We will explain it another time, I cannot hear you very well.
25. S. (01:24:57) How do we build the vessel of bestowal in the moment that I am in a state of detachment and I don't feel the taste or the pleasure in the work?
R. I disconnect without any taste and you cannot build vessels of bestowal. We need to first connect to the friends, to such an extent that you will feel that you are truly as one man and one heart with them. Then build together with them the attitude of bestowal towards the Creator.
S. It's as if I need to swim and I fell from the boat and I need to swim and reach the friends going above all the rest?
R. Yes.
26. S. (01:26:21 ) The state of Ruach, the lack of forces, is that closer to redemption?
R. Yes.
Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. General Preface. #2
https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/IE2sFFPH
Reading General Preface #2 (00:08) " Hence, the expansion of His light…"
1.S. (14:43) First of all in item 2, he actually goes through the four phases of direct light. It's an endless thing, if we can go through it slowly to study that's in general. What are the three discernments in Bina?
R. We learn this in many places. Also on the study of the TES. Bina includes in it Hochma, her first upper part for herself then Bina when she already becomes ZA seemingly begets ZA, therefore in Bina there are three parts.
S. What does each one do?
R. There is the light of Hochma that changes into Bina and the second part is Bina herself, and the third part is where Bina intends to birth, to beget ZA.
S. What is the first part different from the Sefira of Hochma?
R. That is when it is seemingly still Hochma , but it's the light of Hochma that is expanding in Bina and its beginning to build in her. Because Hochma and Bina are too contradictory manners. These are contradicting qualities. Hence there is the entrance of one into the other not in her place but in graduation.
S. How do those three faces in Bina expand as cause and effect?
R. The first part is very simple. It's actually the control of the upper one upon Bina which is Hochma. The second part, which is where they somewhat more participate together that which Hochma does within Bina and the third part is where it's born from their participation which is already what we call Zat of Bina the lower seven of Bina.
S. First phase at its end, what is that at its end that gives them the start with the formulation Bina?
R. The light of Hochma that operates in her makes her into this.
S. Why?
R. Because his nature is to bestow. Hence he operates upon matter which is desire to receive and makes that which is the opposite and makes it in order to bestow.
S. Is that how the first phase in Bina comes?
R. Yes
S. Why is it that it's the essence of Hochma?
R. Because there the light of Bina spreads and expands and controls her and by controlling her there he changes the initial qualities of Bina. Bina is the essence of Hochma so the first part of Bina is the essence of Hochma.
S. What comes out of that?
R. From Bina we learn how the quality impacts one another, how the upper quality enters the lower quality and connects with her and changes her.
S. The first discernment in Bina that is the essence of Hochma is actually like phase one of Hochma? It's actually like phase one in Bina?
R. It's like phase one but she is already in Bina?
S. What's that mean?
R. That's from there she already starts to change the quality of Bina.
S. Then what is the second phase?
R. The second face is Bina herself.
S. What does she want?
R. She only wants to be in the light of Hassidim.
S. The collected nature or the light that expands in her? From the first phase in her?
R. Yes, it is like this. On the one hand, I receive the filling which is the light of Hochma. On the other hand, like the light of Hochma. There's two discernments within one vessel. That's the first and second part of Bina.
S. The desire to resemble the light of Hochma is the second phase in Bina?
R. Yes
S. and then?
R. Then the ZAT of Bina, the seven lower ones in Bina comes out.
S. What does she want?
R. Then she wants to be a Kli for the light of Hochma.
S. Why?
R. Wait, I'm sorry. I said it wrong. The upper three of Bina, the GAR of Bina, is the light of Hassidim. The ZAT of Bina is the light of Hochma and that's already the creation of a new Kli.
S. I don't understand?
R. I'm in my thoughts and I'm not exactly with you.
Reading (21:09 ) Also, three discernments should be made in the second Behina: First discernment: The essence of the Sefira Bina is Hochma. Second discernment: The intensification of the desire that it manifested, for which the root of the vessel of reception was revealed in her, in that sense, there is disparity of form in her, meaning Aviut [thickness], compared to the Ohr [light of] Hochma. This is called upper Gevura.
2. S. (22:48) Then he writes, he speaks about the difference between the light of Hesed and the light of Gevura when he speaks about ZA. So the light of Gevura is on behalf of the Created being the light of Hesed is on behalf of the Creator. So here is what we read that Hesed from the created being, that from all this I don't understand what the light of Hassadim is? What is Hesed? What I understood that it is always the response of the created being that wants to bestow like the Creator. Now he says that the Creator is mixed in this Hassadim, that it's not only the created being if you could please explain it?
R. We will learn about this discernment much more, yes.
3. S. (24:18) Why does he say that there is 10 Sefirot and not 9 if Tiferet of ZA extends NHYM from her?
R. That's not what he says 10 and not 9. He says that there cannot be anything other than 10 Sefirot otherwise the light will not build the vessel, it will not fill the vessel and the vessel will not change and respond like the light.
S. Yes but according to the explanation that Tiferet of ZA begets NHY. So here there should be a complete clarity, the measure?
R. Tiferet is like Keter towards NHY, she gives birth to NHY, and?
S. It seems like NHY is the will to receive. As far as the Sefirot, the NHY is the desire to receive.
R. It is the expansion of the will to receive in the vessels of KHB.
S. What is the difference between NHY and Malchut? Where does that come from?
R. Malchut is a result of the connection of NHY.
S. NHY erects the masach, the screen of Malchut. It is the direct light that beats on the screen and becomes reflected light. Can you explain that?
R. We will learn about that later. We shouldn’t get into that.
4. S. (26:09) He says that Malchut is the fourth for the building and seven for the building?
R. The sons.
S. What does that mean? That it is fourth for the Patriarchs? Why does Malchut comes after Tiferet?
R. Malchut is the final will to receive that is revealed as a result of all the previous Sefirot.
S. What does it mean that it is the 7th to the sons?
R. 7th of the sons that if we count the VAK so Malchut is the 7th.
S. What is that discernment that Malchut can be counted on one hand?
R. HGT NHY Malchut.
S. I don't understand.
R. KHB are Sefirot that bestow, that they bring the light out into the vessels. From Hesed onward the vessels begin. So because of that Malchut is the 7th. 7th to KHB which are called the fathers, the patriarchs and towards them she is the 7th to the sons. Meaning it is the 7th Sefirot from Hesed to Malchut.
