Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 4. Histaklut Pnimit. #21 (   It has been explained that even though there is a complete level of RTS   )

Item 21 “It has then explained that even though there is ....” (00:01 - 01:56)

44. R. In the refinement of the Partzufim the lights go from great to small, in the entry they enter from small to great.

Item 22 “This above matter of opposite value ....” (02:14 - 03:27)

Item 23 “The origin of these two values has already ....” (03:35 - 05:33)

45. R. According to the closeness of Partzuf for the reflected light changes accordingly and the direct light that clothed in it. 

Reader continues “Finally Bechina Dalet itself has no light whatsoever ....” (05:46 - 06:03)

Item 24 “The differences in values of the above Bechinot....” (06:04 - 07:55)

46. R. It is like the difference between the Creator and the created being. 

Reader continues “Besides all that, there is a great ....” (07:58 - 08:38)

47. R. There are lights there that, because we know we are capable of resembling the Creator, some lights are incapable of resembling Him but resembling and not receiving of all of these changes, the Partzuf is already made.

Item 25 “Know that all the above mentioned values in the Dalet Bechinot ....” (09:01 - 09:53)

48. R. That is the difference between Yosher and Igulim, in Igulim there is no screen or restriction, this is why the light in them is called Nefesh doesn't come out of the equivalence, the identification of the light on behalf of Kli.

Item 26 “Now we shall explain the second term meaning the five ....” (10:13 - 11:12)

49. R. When the reflected light is after the first restriction it has the same condition that the light may shine to the created beings and fill them only with the intention that they want to resemble the Creator and to bestow to him. Because each of them bestows to the ten and through the ten to the other tens and to the Creator accordingly then the correct vessel is made to receive the upper light.

Item 27 “Hence, If the coupling by striking performed on the Masach ....” (11:55 - 13:30)

50. S. Can you explain the process he is talking about here, what is this about?

R. He wants to explain to us that just as before the restriction everything was dependent upon the will to receive and then the light filled the will to receive according to the size of the desire so after the restriction the light is reflected and it determines how much the vessel will receive so that desire upon which you can perform a restriction and reflected light, meaning to use above the desire in bestowal rather than reception, according to that the vessel becomes a receptacle for the upper light after the first restriction. We because we exist after the restriction accordingly that is how we build our vessel.

S. So from here comes the question, even if the light clothed the vessel of phase 3 it would receive only up to Hochma, what does this mean?

R. Everything depends upon the restriction and after the restriction on the screen that raises the reflected light and in the height of the reflected light the intensity of the reflected light, but direct light can clothe on it, so because you only raise the reflected light on the degree of Hochma you received the light of Hochma.

S. Can we connect what we're learning now to the relations of the ten or is this not related?

R. We build the vessel as it says here, that is the vessel that we want to build meaning no one receives for himself, no one but rather each one wants to help others and all of us together want to build such a rejection from the reception but only to bestow and then our association we build a vessel in order to bestow.

S. He often mentions the restriction.

R. Restriction is the first thing first I don't receive anything for myself this is the condition of the first restriction otherwise you stay in your ego. 

51. S. (16:28) How is it possible to resemble the Creator by not receiving?

R. Because you want to bestow the fact that you're not receiving is not good, the receiving is not good if you are opposite of the Creator and not receiving is also not right it is as if you disrespect everything He builds, all of the creation that he established. This is why the first restriction is very strict, the most strict but we have to go through the first restriction and above it we start building ourselves in order to bestow.

52. S. (17:21) What does it mean when you perform a coupling by striking in Bechinat Dalet?

R. We don't want to use our ego as it is as if I erase myself from this life except for the animal level, like an animal as it receives it only takes things that it has to take for life. If you take a cow and you give it a cream cake it won't eat it. Meaning it only eats according to its desire and the extent of its desire and this is how we need to stay, only there. All of the rest is only in order to bestow, to develop the vessel above the essential will to receive, the essential will to receive meaning you don't praise it, and you don't despise it, only in order to bestow. When we bestow among the friends, only two that extent do we turn to the Creator and according to the extent we can bestow to Him we can receive something from Him in order to clothe our reception, what we received from Him in order to bestow by that we resemble Him. He bestows upon us in the vessels that we built in order to bestow to Him. When our vessel is completely aimed at ourselves, giving us pleasure, but only to bestowing to Him, that we are all aimed to Him and by that we reach equivalence of form. In the equivalence of form we feel Him, He feels us equal to Him and this state is called corrected.

S. You just gave a precision of operations I raise myself from life and then through a prayer of friends ...

R. That's not right, I'm not saying that we are erasing ourselves from life, I'm staying in corporeal life, what I need to exist, that is called not to praise nor to disrespect. He builds you as a human being, you need these calibrations to keep your family so you have to live as any other human being according to the same and according to your time in history where you are living. This is not considered receiving this is considered living. From this level on you are being asked what you are doing in your free time, what you are doing with your desires, where you don't have to supply things necessary for you and your family.

S. So that is the question the Creator adds more desires from above, your name is desires dreams and passions you don't have to restrict them?

R. Whatever is not necessary for your life you have to pass it on to spirituality. You have to live in this life of the beast, what else do you need? All the other things you have to make Adam out of, you have this still, vegetative and animal, these three degrees, the speaking level is called Adam, that you make it resemble the Creator.

S. How do I work with the rest, how do I build the degree?

R. In order to bestow, to resemble the Creator, Adam similar to the Creator you resemble Him by performing restriction, not using your egoistic desires and you invert them to become in order to bestow.

S. How do I change them if some desire appears in me and it's clear to me that I don't need it for my existence?

R. You don't use anything except for what is required for your life, all the rest of the things you process in the ten for a connection with them and with the Creator.

S. What does it mean I process everything in the ten?

R. You don't want to use these desires that are not necessary, obligatory, essential for your life. You start using them only to the extent and the measure that you can through them bestow to the Creator through the friends to connect with them and along with them together to connect to the Creator. 

S. Using them means to rise above them and to be included in the friends?

R. Yes.

S. What happens next?

R. Nothing, everything that happens later happens with the same desires as you start connecting them, it is above each and every one's personal ego, you start connecting, integrating, building the common desires and then the Creator in these common desires just like in a basket, bestows the light upon you. Then you receive it together in the ten in order to bestow to the Creator because you have already accustomed yourself to bestow to each other, to let go of these desires.

S. In the fact that way connected above all of the restrictions he begins to put light in the vessel but we don't need to work for the light before the Creator?

R. You all think how to use the desires, the pleasures in order to bestow to the Creator and by that you become like Him, meaning that you gained the quality of the bestowal and that is considered the Creator. All the will to receive, the restriction and the bestowal that the Creator of what you are doing is all in order to feel what it means to be the Creator. Then you discover His states, His place. This is what you would pain and then you enjoy not the fact that you receive or bestow, but being in His level, resembling Him when you feel yourself eternal. Like the Creator.

S. Do we need to pray in every state of this work?

R. Praying nonstop for each and every step because only by receiving the right guidance, the right force, the right action from the Creator that he should do it. Ultimately the Creator does all the action is only because we are like little ones, like the children we are asking him to do it.

53. S. (26:28) I can't really understand the idea, the role of the 10 Sefirot, AB, Igulim, I can't understand no matter how I turn it?

R. Throw them away and don't be concerned about it, don't learn about the Igulim.

S. What is the connection between them in our work?

R. I just told you to throw them away and you keep on going?

S. Not to deal with them at all?

R. Yes.

54. S. (27:04) If it is difficult to survive three or four hours of the lesson in this connection that is difficult, how can we dedicate all of our free time to connection as it seems something unrealistic?

R. Don't worry I haven't seen anyone becoming sick out of it, you will get accustomed increasingly more to be immersed in the spiritual life, if you were now in some society that would only deal with corporeal pleasures you would enjoy it and keep on going without any problems or limitations until you would fall because you were so tired. Then you would jump up and keep on going so it all depends upon the importance. I understand it is difficult and that you have to rest, that they give the room for your soul and your body for rest is because it is an inner effort but because of all the inner effort you can keep on doing it and overcome.

55. S. (28:39) Constantly asking the Creator does the question of an adult person, assist me and then they are these children who have these annoying request of just give it to me or I'll start crying, should we turn to the Creator in a polite way or can we do it in a demanding or annoying way?

R. At least this way, it is good and nice as the Creator tolerates everything.

S. We have this question of help us give a prayer or just give it to us?

R. That is also possible and you can see later how it helps you.

56. S. (29:32) How can the ten know if there is a vessel for the returning light?

R. A vessel for the reflected light is exactly the restriction and screen that generates the vessel for the reflected light, but we are not the vessel for the reflected light, we establish the vessel for the reflected light and in it we receive the gift, what is given from the Creator.

57. S. (30:48) If I have a habit in my day-to-day life and it doesn't leave me time, if my life is disorganized in corporeality and I organized it to be with the 10 is this regarded as a spiritual act?

R. Whatever is related to the connection of the ten is spiritual. Keep on going with that and you will see what is missing in order to be a complete connection with the tens and the Creator will begin to clothe in it, that this connection will begin to resemble bestowal by the Creator. The entire engagement in the ten is on the way already.

58. S. (32:09) Baal HaSulam writes, importance about understanding the inverse relation to the lights and vessels saying that lack of knowledge will cause us to fail in learning every step, what should we understand about the connection of this relation?

R. The inverse value of the lights and the vessels is when the vessels, in the vessels that the light starts growing from the smallest to the larger and in the lights it is opposite. That is it, there is always this connection between the lights and the vessels that went in the vessels of Keter you have a light of Nefesh, but Keter is a vessel of a great light, it is true, but if we are talking about the coarseness Keter it is a root coarseness and all that is revealed is the light of Nefesh, if you start shifting to the vessel of Hochma it is the vessel of the Bechinat Aleph and the light Nefesh and in the vessel of Keter the light of Hassadim is revealed you have an inverse value of the lights and vessels it isn't simple until Baal HaSulam was able to express it correctly, it took him a long time. I heard that he used to learn in a certain place of Jerusalem when he came from Warsaw, he studied and opened the book, The Tree of Life by the Ari where it is spoken about and he wouldn't understand as he was looking for a way, how to organize these things that he would walk from one corner to another in the study hall, like a big library and people didn’t understand why is he not sitting quietly and studying, but this is how he would study. That's the way he was used to walk and think until he organized these things in the way of the inverse value of light and vessels. What being made today as studying seems to us it's also confusing, for as everything is evaluated by the screen not by the coarseness of coarseness in the screen. That's why it's the opposite of the ordinary coarseness, the coarseness of the screen. That's why it's evident for us as the inverse value of the lights and the vessels  

59. S. (35:17) How can we increase in us the desire to give contentment to the Creator or to go to grow closer to Him?

R. We talked about this in the beginning of the lesson that it is under the condition that you are connected to the friends, that you look at them and out of your envy in them that you increase your desire for connection, for bestowal that everything is out of the envy of the friends. As the verse goes; envy, lust and honor take a person out of this world, from the lower egoistic material world to the upper altruistic spiritual one. 

R. Because now that we are concluding the series of lessons with you and the building of the spiritual vessel, meaning the beginning, when we know how it is built and how it should be established between us and what will happen if we will continue to the next subject. The next subject for us is tomorrow morning, in the meantime a warm embrace for everyone, repeat and review the material composing questions because all of the wisdom is built upon questions and answers and I will be happy to answer all of them. If you did not have the chance to ask today you will have a chance tomorrow so prepare and send questions or write them down and tomorrow we will continue in the meantime we are scrutinizing this lesson all day long.
