Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #96 (00:06)

1. R. (00:19) In our correction of our will to receive we go through many states. The will to receive has a few degrees of the desire. It happens from the influence of the light upon it ,the light bestowing on the desire changes it gradually and the will to the receive which develops and once the light more and more and all kinds of manners until it reaches the fourth phase when is Once it once it in all its might and everything it can. It can reveal in the light from the development of the four phases. Meaning that the light builds the desire in order for the desire, when it is built in such a way by the light, it will start revealing the light and feeling it and understanding it. That is why there are always gradual actions through degrees, through a process. Each and every action has a few processes because all in all we see that there are two forces here which are completely opposite to one another. These forces that work on each other they have all kinds of forms of connection. This connection seems like a net, this web is the order of the worlds, Partzufim, Sefirot, these are what we are learning about. Because these forces we can learn about them, we can reveal them, we can feel them, because we too are in these forces in this net. Except for this, this energy, this force that is filling these connections between the different parts of this net it is the Upper Force. Also we reveal it in this net according to the phenomena that this force works and lives in this net. In order for the created beings, this net in order for it, for them, they feel the upper force in the way that there is no limit and completely be able to reveal it in an infinite way, they need to correct themselves to connect and, in this way, they reach recognition, awareness of a state of disconnection to a state of connection. From a state of shattering to a whole. In this way we understand that there is no choice but the created beings must attain from only one thing and it's opposite. The advantage of the light through the dark. That is why for us to eventually reveal the Creator in all His might according to equivalence form. Meaning according to our vessels, their desire to receive needs to receive completely upon himself the form of bestowal, to completely resemble the light so it has to go through many changes states on the way. Only in such a way when it reveals itself discovers itself going through these changes, from these changes he will know the Creator. As it is written, from your Deeds I will know you. This is how we will try to also do it. Now we are in a very special process that the vessels exists. It gave it some kind of form, but not a complete form and feels the deficiency in it. From this deficiency it reaches a request, a plea that it turns to the Creator and the Creator is always one degree higher than me that is the Creator. I do not know where He is or what's going on there. I know what is working on me, what is stabilizing me and is completely in control of me that is my higher degree. That is why it is called the Creator, why, because my goal and my development is to reach it. That is why it is called the Creator come and see. The Creator supposedly pulls me to Him and says come and I need to do actions and rise and discover. For us to do it, before us, because before we come out as separate parts of creation and ready for correction, so the whole system was stabilized in such a way that there are all kinds of degrees. From the lowest state to the highest state that we need to uplift through all these degrees one by one from 1° to the next. Each time we can only rise under the condition that we suit the upper degree that means to be equipped with a bigger will to receive. Also afterwards to know how to demand corrections because it is very important that we need to demand them. Because on that it depends on how much we know our state, how much we know the corrected state the gap between them between the corrupted and corrected state by what we can correct it to turn to that force of correction to receive that force of correction, to participate with it in correcting ourselves and as a result of that we will be ready to rise to a higher degree. There are still many questions here that I did not talk about here, many stages but that is the process, the process of the spiritual development of each and then everyone. We can run from it, we have to digest these things. There's enough time for it and the place and the means for it. Now, the main question is how we connect between us towards the Creator which is the higher degree above as we said before. For us to learn how to connect to that higher degree, the second restriction took place. That there is a connection between Malchut and Bina, that we were always in Malchut we can rise to the degree of Bina, the degree of bestowal. Then when we correct ourselves in such a way that we raise and raise our desires to Bina and according to that, we correct these desires with the intention to bestow. When we reach the correction of bestowing in order to bestow, when we do not want to receive anything for ourselves but we're willing to participate in everything and it is not for our benefit not for ourselves, then it is called that we have reached the degree of Bina. Afterwards from the degree of Bina we can rise even more, even to receive in order to bestow, meaning that we draw the force of Malchut and use it on the degree of Bina and then we overcome Bina to Keter. We learned about it and you can read about it. Maybe we can learn it again at one point, that our path includes two parts. That we reach Bina to bestow in order to bestow, that’s called Hanukkah let’s say, and then from there also to receive in order to bestow which we call Purim. A person who starts is called a wicked, when he reaches the degree of Bina, he is called righteous, not a complete righteous, and then when he reaches his corrections of all his will to receive in order to bestow meaning he raised Malchut, not to Bina but to Keter, that’s called a complete righteous. There are many details in it but we will read about it at one point. Now, in order to make the connection between the degrees we need to be connected between Malchut and Bina. In order to connect Malchut and Bina, the second restriction took place. Bina and Malchut connect together to such an extent that they shatter because they are opposite, they contradict each other, and the system was built where the degree of Bina to bestow in order to bestow, and the degree of Malchut, to receive in order to receive, when they mix together by the external force that is alien to them it breaks Bina and Malchut and mixes them together, and then we reach a state where we have many vessels and then in them Bina and Malchut exist in a mutual incorporation Bina and Malchut, Malchut and Bina, and all the parts in such a mixed that you cannot even discern between things. Then we, from this all what we got after the shattering, we can start sorting the vessels, meaning to extract from there with tweezers, you can take out the vessel from the most pure to the coarsest and in this way, we can try and raise them up. Until we take all the shattered vessels, meaning we correct all of the vessels that are in the will to receive in order to receive with lights that enter into them also in order to receive so we can separate between these lights and the vessels and correct these vessel's to the degree of Bina to bestow in order to bestow and then to Keter, to receive in order to bestow, and that is what we do. From here we see that the shattering of the vessels is an essential thing otherwise Malchut will never receive the qualities of bestowal inside of her. We need to understand that there must be a system here, a mechanism that gradually, after the shattering of the vessel, sorts them and raises them to the light, and fills them and organizes them. This system has to be built for all these things. The system that builds the corrections is called this system of the worlds of ABYA, [Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Asiya], ‘ABYA’ is the initials for those worlds, but before that we learn about the shattering of the vessels as something essential that from the shattering and the incorporation of Malchut and we can correct the vessel of the will to receive of Malchut that by the incorporation of Bina in Malchut and by the incorporation of Malchut in Bina we can from this incorporation build systems that include the will to receive and the will to bestow and there will be such vessels that can receive in order to receive that we don’t use them at all and the rest of the degrees we can’t use them, that is where we will have to bestow in order to bestow and even to receive in order to bestow. The intention to bestow, there we will be in control. The whole process is clear to us, that it has to include a few stages, stages of corruption, shattering, falling, descending, confusion, mixture and everything we have with all the shattered vessels until it is impossible to discern between Bina and Malchut because after the shattering they're so mutual, they mixed and incorporated. Then comes a special upper light called, “the light that reforms” and starts sorting these vessels and organizing them, each one in its place as much as each and every vessel is ready for correction and after the correction took place in it, it will be a place in its ladder from this world to the world of the Ein Sof. In this way we learn on the system of the shattering and then on the system of correction, and also in the correction and also in the correction there are many details. We learned about them in the wisdom of Kabbalah, but I can say that many questions remain, many things that do not always, and not that they are not clear obviously, but they're not scrutinized by the Kabbalists as they did not speak about everything. How can you speak about everything? As much as you speak there will always be more and more. That is why the main thing for us is to learn what we say, “from your deeds we will know you” meaning as much as we are incorporated in the deeds, we will know the system and how it works. That was an introduction.

2. S. (18:43) As a result of the shattering where Malchut and Bina mingle, how can we now do this work of the division?

R. We invite the light that reforms and that light shines on our shattered vessels and we ask the Creator to fix us and to connect between us, in that I have bit of a desire to receive to the friends in each of them there's a bit of a desire to receive to the others so we asked the Creator to help us with it. From above we get a desire from above we get forces and we use it in order to connect between us, in such a way we advance.

S. Then later these desires of bestowal we collect with the friends, we connect them into one thing?

R. Of course they cannot be together according to this nature of receiving and bestowing, that is why we connect between us the desires to bestow and the desires to receive. They cannot connect, and it is as though they are waiting on the side until we work on them too, and the correction always takes place from the easy to the difficult. First, they want to stay small, easy, and then it gets more difficult, heavy.

3. S (20:44) Can you explain what is the addition of the shattering for the integration of the vessels of Malchut and Bina, after the second restriction?

R. Before the second restriction there was no shattering and no incorporation of Malchut and Bina at all, Bina is separate and Malchut is separate. Malchut is the will to receive that worked to the extent that the upper light worked on it and gave it an opportunity to build the Partzuf, Partzufim from the world of the Keter of Adam HaRishon. Afterwards there's nothing else, and if there would not be the incorporation between Malchut and Bina below the Tabur, and the Partzufim of Nekudot of SAG wouldn’t come and shatter and then all shattered vessels would mingle that do not have a screen so we would not have any way to correct because the correction is not by not receiving in order to receive the correction, the correction is for coming closer to receiving in order to bestow. Otherwise, why should you start creation all together? To begin with you could not receive in order to receive but now we have to discover how it is possible to reach a state of bestowing in order to bestow and receive in order to bestow, that is the correction. The shattering mixes these vessels and gives them an ability to put them together in the way that they can also exist in the force of receiving, and also in the force of bestowing, and then between them you can already organize all forms of vessels.

S. There was some point where these vessels, after the second restriction, mingled, and there was a certain integration between them, below the Tabur until the Parsa…

R. By which action does this happen, this incorporation? The vessels were in order to bestow because the upper light worked on them. Imagine that now the upper light works on you and you bestow. Why are you bestowing? Because that is how it is, it is my nature now, I'm bestowing. It is not a correction, it is only a preparation to correct others. Meaning, before the shattering we cannot speak of corrections and what happened in this entire system happening by the upper light that worked on the will to receive and organized it from above downwards in a gradual way.

I hope that you heard something. I'm asking that you listen again until tomorrow, and we will continue tomorrow. We will go through these things in a way that you will really understand in depth what it means preparing the vessel for correction through the shattering.
