Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Part 2. Chapter 9. Histaklut Pnimit #114 ("Also, when discerning the particular Bina in the Eser particular Sefirot ..")

Reader Item 128 ”This Zivug de Hakaa requires a broad explanation....”(00:01 - 01:17)

28. R. That is something that we find in the spiritual states that we have the will to receive that the Creator purposely created specifically upon it we can feel and understand it. How we will remain created beings opposite of Him and also to start resembling Him and from resembling Him to feel and understand Him to such an extent that we adhere to Him, how is that possible? Then there is a very special thing that doesn't exist in our world which is two opposite things connect together and their connection is the main thing, not the will to bestow, the Creator, not the will to receive all of the created being but what happens in the interconnection between them. As much as the both of them and the connection between them reveal as much as a created being reveals the connection with the Creator specifically from the oppositeness, when he discovers the connection so the opposites and connecting them both, they start working together for the created being to get a depth of feeling and preparations which are emotional, intellectual, to attain the Creator. That cannot be but only under the condition that the more he can separate his mind and feeling, more and more wanting to be opposite of the Creator but to resemble the Creator. That is what we have to understand it is something very essential because only we can do this, humans.

Reader Item 129 “It is indeed that they are two opposites under one rule.” (03:20 - 04:07)

Reader Item 130 “I will elaborate in order to examine it thoroughly....”(04:08 - 04:58)

Reader Item 131 “There are two conjectures here, one is....”(05:11 - 06:31)

29. R. We see these things not only with a body falling to the ground, that the ground doesn't swallow it, but in all kinds of things that we have two opposites that work on one hand there is gravity on the other hand there is a rejecting force, attraction and rejection, they work under conditions either for or against and here is the question, if we are with the Creator in an opposite nature, He is entirely to bestow we are entirely to receive how can we organize one in the second’s nature that will reach a state where we can all integrate in the other’s nature to be able to connect. We see according to our mind according to technology, according to every way we work in this world if we want a connection, communication between two systems so every system has to be included in the other system.

That is according to simple logic so how can we make it so in the Creator there will be a will to receive of ours and we will have the will to bestow of the Creator that we will be able to connect ourselves, Creator and created being with this mutual force that there is a will to receive from everyone and the will to bestow from everyone and they will all work in connecting, understanding in a mutual awareness how can we do this? This is a problem because the Creator and the created being and even though their opposites we have a question how do we reach a state that from the two opposites still they both need to be connected until the smallest detail within each and every one. As much as each one is complex from the will to bestow of the Creator and the will to receive of the created being with their contradictions, their opposites because the Creator created with His will to bestow the will to receive but along with that how can they be in connection that understanding with one another. We will see how it is going to happen, for now

30. S. (09:29) Out of what is there a Zivug and out of what is their recognition?

R. That we will learn also.

31. S. (09:38) If I understand correctly there is mutual rejection and relationship between the two, what should be the relationship?

R. Creator is the will to bestow towards us, He created the will to receive in us which is opposite of his will to bestow and then from this he wants to put together a special system that will be from an opposite material, the will to receive but behaves like Him as the will to bestow and according to that the will to receive with the intention to bestow can be like the will to bestow, in adhesion with the will to bestow connect in a way that you won't see any difference between the will to receive and the will to bestow of the Creator this is that they will be in adhesion.

S. So first we build a rejection and then the relation to the Creator?

R. First rejection that we need to organize all of the relationships between us for restriction, rejection and then a calculation as much as possible and then we reach connection. That all goes into the term of restriction and Zivug de Hakaa.

S. In item 129 he explains the attracting force is the Aviut of the Kli and the repelling force is in the Masach of the Kli put together, can you explain what is one time in two places?

R. We will see it soon, you will understand it. I don't necessarily understand the question but you will see in the text what Baal HaSulam is trying to say.

32. S. (12:19) When a person or the ground strike each other how do we understand this?

R. Let us keep reading and then you will be less wise hearing what Baal HaSulam has to say.

Reader Item 132 “There is yet another supposition that there is....” (12:44 - 13:41)

33. R. It is like there are a few forces working on the same object, same body just one after the other.

Reader Item 133 “If we deduce from the branch about its Shoresh in the Upper Worlds…” (13:55 - 13:25)

R. Meaning that the earth is pulling because in its center are all of the forces of the extension of the connection of the attraction.

Reader Item 134 “However it does not pull it to the point of....”(15:40 - 15:53)

35. R. If the force of extension alone was working it would keep going on to the center of the earth.

Reader continues “instead until the very moment where the attractive object....” (16:03 - 16:21)

36. R. It is clear up to here, correct? This is nature, we see it but it keeps going.

Reader Item 135 “It turns out that what it pulled has been received....” (16:32 - 17:46)

37. R. Clear correct? That if one force is lacking, the rejecting as opposed to the attracting so what would have been in airborne that fell off the roof would go through all of the matter of the earth on to the center.

Reader Item 136 “You can also see that they attracting and rejecting....” (18:04 - 18:51)

38. R. We are in such a system of laws as in our world, That day rejecting force and the attracting force can be in physics, chemistry any form of nature as they are always equal to each other as a result of the thought of creation on one hand the Creator is the giving force who created nature with the receiving force and from that we have a result for any law of nature the still, vegetative and animal, speaking, inner psychology, anything there can be there is always in some kind of balance between them, otherwise, if one would be swallowing the other there wouldn't be any life that could grow from it.

Reader Item 137 “Thus you can thoroughly understand the issue of the coupling of striking....” (19:50 - 20:26)

39. R. That is it this is what we need to know for now and then throughout all of TES and all of our inner work we always work with this, the rejecting force and attracting force except for those two forces we have nothing and we have to know how we balance the two in such a way that we can always resemble the upper force increasingly more.

40. S. (20:59) This article gave me a feeling like I am studying physics. Is Kabbalah wisdom related to science?

R. All the laws of nature that we discover are results which are very limited from the general laws of nature that the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us. When we study the wisdom of Kabbalah we study afterwards as much as all the laws, all the series, let's say Einstein and all of those that they all go inside in the wisdom of Kabbalah, there is nothing that is outside the relationships between the Creator and the creation. That is why there is nothing new here, I don't know why you're asking. In the wisdom of Kabbalah we are studying the laws of nature, the Creator is nature, God in Gematria is nature, we are learning the true laws of nature that from these laws all of the other individual laws come out, let's say physics, chemistry, the conditions of the earth of our limited world. But in each and every spiritual level we have a bit of a difference in the laws as much as the will to receive and the will to bestow between them are changing in relationships and according to that nature changes that exist between them. That is how it is, the material of the will to receive which is between the will to bestow of the Creator and the intention to bestow of the created being this material behaves differently. That is why what we learn in our sciences, all in all, the very limited part of reality and the imaginary part of reality, why is it imaginary? It is the part that actually doesn't exist because we don't take into account that the force of the Creator works in the created being. That is why this reality is false, when we start ascending to higher degrees, spiritual degrees then we discover that the Creator is working in the created being, the force of bestowal is working and giving birth to the force of reception and between these two forces all of creation exists and then the science that we are learning about is called the science of the truth, or the Torah of the truth, the wisdom of Kabbalah. Because it is speaking about the Creator, the upper force that is working and activating creation, the force of the will to receive, the force of the lower one. Now we are disconnected from that, that's why it is called we are in the false world.

Part 3 of TES

R. (25:23) Direct light and reflected light includes 15 chapters, chapter one explains the for discernment the four phases of the coarseness which are the four vessels.

Reader Item 1 “There is Atzmut and Kelim, Ohr Ein Sof expanded ...”(25:40 - 28:27) reads twice

Ohr Pnimi Item 1 “They are five Olamot called Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya.”(27:28 - 29:01)

Ohr Pnimi Item 6 “Meaning unattainable, it is called Ein Sof...”(29:02 - 29:42)

Ohr Pnimi Item 7 ”Hitpashtut indicates a Hitgabrut of Ohr....”(29:43 - 30:25)

Ohr Pnimi Item 9 “That teaches us that the Kelim....”(30:26 - 31:36)

41. S. (31:37) When I feel rejected during the lesson and I can't feel anything besides myself how can I overcome it?

R. Pray, pray to the Creator that now is being revealed to everybody and awakening you specifically the force of rejection, it comes from Him. Ask Him why is He rejecting you, why is He giving you such a desire that is rejecting you, ask Him? What is up, in what are you doing something wrong? Why does he want to toss you out of the lesson? That here were speaking about His revelation to the created beings what does He not want to reveal Himself to you? You have to ask, you have to scrutinize, maybe by rejecting you He wants you to pay attention that you are not coming close enough, that He is giving you opportunities to come close but that you are not taking them, you are not doing it when He brings you closer so He is doing the opposite that He is with rejecting you not to Him but outside of Him and by this He wants to awaken your attention to as much as you are drawn to Him or not. But still demand an answer from Him.

42. S. (33:17) I love studying TES, I can dedicate days to it, should I put a restriction on this pleasure?

R. I can't say anything, I also studied it a lot, I learned a lot and afterwards a person discovers that this wisdom doesn't bring him closer to the Creator, but as much as his studies change his heart that is why we need to learn, but the main thing, the main purpose is that our heart which is the will to receive will start more and more to want to resemble the will to bestow. That is a result not from studying like I'm studying some wisdom like science, studying TES in such a way but it is the result of being in a group participating in all kinds of connections between us, meaning to feel how the upper light is working on my matter. That is what TES is speaking about, only under the condition that my material, my matter will get an inspiration from the upper light not that I will learn it in my brain. If we needed to write this for people to study get like in the university, then we would have to write thousands of books because what is written here is 0.00000 of a percent of what there really is. The sum of everything taking place everything a Kabbalist discovers in his heart, in the desire to bestow, here he took just a bit to give us some kind of connection with the actions of the created being and the actions of the Creator. Actually in this TES we have like a thousands, of a thousands, of thousands, of what there is in spirituality because you can't write about all these actions. So, they give some general rules that we can draw the light not in order to brains but to influence our hearts. That is it. Baal HaSulam, when he wrote TES and more kabbalists that write about it they mean that by what they are telling us about this wisdom the relationship between the lights and the vessels and the couplings is for you to get an impression in your feelings towards the quality of bestowal and want that quality to expand through you and control your will to receive, that all your will to receive will be in order to bestow. For that they wrote all of this, otherwise you are not supposed to as it was even forbidden to study the wisdom of Kabbalah. Why was it concealed all these thousands of years? Because people would use it in order to study it like a regular wisdom, only when troubles, problems started coming, man started understanding where he's living and people started asking why are they alive when they reach such a development. Then the permission to study and teach the wisdom of Kabbalah was given and in our time like everyone like Baal HaSulam wrote as we learned that everybody not only can but must study the wisdom of Kabbalah because we got to a state where we have to discover our connection with the upper force. Only for that not in order to know. To come close to the upper force, to start feeling Him, understanding Him, connecting to Him and reaching adhesion eventually, only for that. The mind here, it does not help you only need a bit of it in order to direct the feelings in the right direction and all of the corrections are only in the will to receive, meaning our feelings.

S. To come close to this force and resemble it let's say I feel pleasure, I'm not even speaking about the mind just simple pleasure, this pleasure I have to restrict it or I have to aim it in some way?

R. For now just keep studying that way, just keep studying this way for now. Afterwards you will worry less about learning that will come later, there will come a time when you want to learn you won't want to learn at all. Then you will want to learn after that transition only in order to receive reforming light. Which is the reason why they wrote all the wisdom of Kabbalah and the whole Torah in general to bring the reforming light as we learn in Item 155 in the “Introduction to the Study of TES”. Kabbalists obligated everyone to study the wisdom of Kabbalah to awaken the reforming light not to understand the operations themselves, this will come later just started as it is for now. Afterwards you will come to a state that what you will learn you will pray to the Creator for you to forget it, why am I learning this? In order to stuff up my memory with information? If it is not in my heart which begins to work accordingly so I begin to see how my desire for these operations that we are learning now, that they happen in my desire, if not why do I need it? So, you will ask to forget in your intellect and to leave what is only printed in your hearts.

S. In our mind I have enough exertion?

R. Because it's not the purpose to fill up your brain, what do you get out of it? Your soul doesn't achieve any correction by this, so it turns out that what are you going to achieve in your life, you filled up your brain cells until when? Until you rot in the ground? What is the point? You need to correct the soul which is the eternal part in you, which whether you live or die is with you, so now you were given a possibility through existence in the physical material world, the material body specifically by this just start filling up your soul so exert in that.

43. S. (42:00) If I understood correctly, it is understood that the light by getting more coarse becomes a vessel. How can a light be a vessel, how does it become a vessel?

R. Reflected light, we will learn it soon.

44. S. (42:23) Are the essence and the light the same thing?

R. Yes.

45. S. (42:42) You just said that we are learning only a small part of Kabbalah, so is it possible that we don't have to reincarnate again and again?

R. You don't need to know the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to not incarnate, you need to attain that correction of your soul to not incarnate, it has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge, completely independent and irrelevant to it, it depends only upon your desire not your intellect. There is intellect only in order to correct the desire.

Reader Item 10 “Hitlabshut is like concealment. That is ....”(43:32 - 44:47)

46. R. In other words to understand every single thing we first need to have a deficiency for it why does it happen and why does it not happen where does it come from why this way another other way. Once we have a feeling of the deficiency, of the concealment then we can come to states where we discover the phenomena as it really is. So first there is concealment and gradually according to our ability to reveal the concealment correctly, the concealment disappears and instead of it we discover what the concealment concealed. This is why we have to relate to the concealments that we are in where everything is concealed in the right way, the Creator conceals everything so that just like with that baby, like a little child we leave for it only things we know he won't be able to harm himself and gradually reveal to him more and more. Only to the extent that he can work correctly with what we are revealing to him.

47. S. (46:09) We have the vessel and the light so is that like what we learned that the darkness will shine as light the advantage of darkness to the light that the light wants to appear in us and reveal itself?

R. Yes, but when we reveal the vessel we have to understand that the vessel itself is a lack of light, a spiritual vessel is not what we have in this world it is revealing that here there is a deficiency of light and the deficiency of light is the vessel. So that it turns out that we have nothing in the world besides light except in one place it might be deficient and in another place it is apparent in this way we have revelation or absence of the Creator. The vessel itself does not exist, the Creator says I have created the evil inclination and I have created the vessel all of it is only revelations of his deficiencies. It is not important for now and we don't need to get into it now as everything will come in its right time.

48. S. (47:34) From below to above when there is a clothing, it happens mutually from both directions?

R. Ask according to what we're learning.

49. S. (47:58) When correcting the soul in the ten every state there is a Rosh and by that he acquires the upper’s mind?

R. Yes, we will soon learn that, your questions, we haven't come to that yet.

Reader Item 2 “The Tikun of the Masach to detain the Ohr Elyon....”(48:58 - 50:43) reads twice

Reader Ohr Pnimi Item 20 “Meaning after the Ohr had expanded....”(50:44 - 51:41)

Reader Item 30 “Because the force of Tzimtzum rides over Behina Dalet....”(51:42 - 51:56)

Reader Item 40 “That refers to Behina Dalet called Malchut....”(51:57 - 53:03) reads twice

50. R. There is Malchut separate and the Masach in her which is also separate

Reader continues “the vessel is the light that became more course....”(53:11 - 53:28)

51. R. This we have yet to learn, I have to say soon, soon or later, later this is how he explains it and it is correct, bit by bit, first we get some knowledge and then it will all fall into place.

Reader Item 50 “Masach and Pargod are one thing.” (53:46 - 54:10)

52. R. There is some force that doesn't let the upper light enter Malchut this is called restriction, screen or the veil, or the curtain it depends how he talks about it.

Reader Item 60 “It means that this Masach not only....”(54:25 - 54:46)

53. R. In these days there is a special illumination called Hanukkah which is a kind of parking of resting where we shift from vessels that bestow in order to bestow to ones that receive in order to bestow so we should point it out.
