Part 2:

Baal HaSulam, Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, #129

1. R (00:10) Here we are starting to go deeper into the corrections that came after the shattering of the vessels that took place in the world of Nekudim with the Partzuf of Atik, Arich Anpin and AVI came out, ZON and the world of Atzilut and how these faces how do they correct the shattered faces in the world of the Nekudim. So, let us read about it.

Reading Item #129 (00:48) Twice

2. R. (03:43) Because MA is called the world of Atzilut, its Nukva called BON, which is the world of Nekudim, they broke. So, comes to the world of Atzilut and connects to itself; the broken vessels of the world of Nekudim; this is how it corrects and fulfills them, this is its role. Then, what follows that just like in the world of Nekudim if it was to finish its entire role without breaking and they would have been the end of correction; this is also how now it is done by the world of Atzilut.

Reader continues (04:20) #129

3. R. (04:38) Because in GAR there is no breaking.

Reader continues (04:40) #129

4. R. (05:48) Meaning Atik took from each and every degree only those things that were unrelated to the breaking. Therefore the new Partzuf of Atik of MA took from the broken Kelim of Nekudim, the upper half of the Keter that didn't break, that was not broken in the world of Nekudim; and brought them to Hochma and Bina which also were unrelated to, as it’s the GE of Hochma and Bina, and the seven roots of the seven Kelim of ZAT that are included in the GAR of Nekudim. Meaning all these vessels that have nothing to do with the Gadlut of the world of Nekudim, that broke, and this Kelim became Partzuf Nukva to Atik of the new MA. Meaning on part of Atzilut comes a Partzuf called Atik, and it corrects the GAR of Keter, the GAR of AVI and the seven Ketarim of ZON, “and joined with one another”, they are called MA and BON of Atik of Atzilut, since the male of Atik is called MA and the vessel of Nekudim that joined it to be corrected by it, to be fulfilled by it, are called BON. They are positioned face and back: Atik of MA at the interior and Atik of BON in its posterior. Meaning that one Partzuf is above, and one is below, and they are standing face to back, back to face, back-to-back, face-to-face, there are four options, whatever combinations that you can have from the results of the connection between these two and this is how it is of the first Partzuf in the world of Atzilut, that takes certain parts for itself from the broken world of Nekudim.

5. S. (08:02) It says here that is not clear to me, “in the Katnut of Nekudim only the upper half of each degree of Galgalta Eynaim and Nukva Eynaim and the lower half of the interim AHP descended to the lower degree.” What does it mean that each Partzuf is divided?

R. The vessels of GE are the vessels of bestowal and therefore even though they usually do not break on one hand, on the other hand they are also easy to correct. Because for them the light of Hassadim is sufficient whereas the vessels of the AHP of the lower half of the degree, they need correction to be corrected by the light of Hochma, and therefore their correction is harder.

S. Each degree is half below the Parsa and half above the Parsa?

R. Every degree that has ten Sefirot is divided into an upper and lower part: The upper half are the vessels of bestowal, and the lower half are the vessels of reception, in general.

S. The Parsa is mingled here in this whole story?

R. The Parsa is what tells them apart.

6. S. (09:49) Why only GE of the vessels of the world of Nekudim are Nukva for the Partzuf of Atik because they are complete, they are the vessels of bestowal?

R. But they cannot correct themselves. Even though those are bigger Kelim, these are Kelim that are connected to Bina, and they are big Kelim, but they cannot correct themselves and therefore they become dependent on the Kelim of Atik, on the Kelim of Atzilut; and therefore the Kelim of Atzilut correct them, connect them, fulfill them. Through Atzilut they receive their nourishment and corrections but later on they become very big.

S. But we say that they did not break these vessels, that the Guf broke?

R. It does not matter but they cannot be corrected. They are not connected to the Kedusha but only through the system of the world of Atzilut and that is why they are dependent on it.

7. S. (11:21) How to understand that Atzilut is part of the world of Nekudim. These degrees and Partzufim exist in parallel or one after the other?

R. In parallel and also in a row, both. Depending on how you can take and correct them, the main thing is the correction and the way the form of the correction takes place. There are many forms, many ways, and also the Sefirot and what Sefirot relates to which Sefirot, and how do they correct each other? How do they connect and incorporate with one another? Suppose like in our body, there are so many different systems, and they are so interconnected in different ways that we do not even know about 1% of how it all works. So, precisely in spirituality it is much more, far beyond, but the principles are simple; that which is close to correction and far from loss. Accordingly, you scrutinize and correct.

S. As much as I can understand, the world of Atzilut exists in order to correct only after Adam HaRishon’s system broke, and here it is correcting the parts in front?

R. Doesn't matter. If they broke, they are already flawed, then they are at the bottom now and the world of Atzilut can provide them with all the corrections of the lights and fillings, because it belongs to the forces of bestowal.

S. So can it be completed in Nekudim?

R. Of course, it connects to itself vessels of Nekudim and corrects them and fulfills them. Because it takes them to itself as a Nukva and so it absorbs their deficiencies and elevates these deficiencies and asks for the power to correct these vessels and afterwards asks for the light to fulfill these Kelim. How do we ask for it or how do we ask? I ascend to the Creator and ask Him: Give me the ability to correct them, all of my friends, and then give me the ability to fulfill them, fulfill them through me. Then I become, as the force of correction and fulfillment towards them and this is how each is towards everyone else, in this way we fill up and become corrected. Cannot be any other way.

S. Simply when we appeal…

R. There too. Suppose Atik de Atzilut takes or is in connection through the SAG up to Ein Sof and asks, turns to the Creator like we do.

S. Meaning that the world of Nekudim is not something higher, right?

R. It is broken. It is broken and is in need of correction and the world of Atzilut did not break and can correct it. “The lower corrects the upper”.

S. But what I do not understand is that the world Atzilut is the result of the breaking of the world of Nekudim right?

R. But it rises and is corrected, and therefore it can correct what is broken. Think about it, slowly you will be able to understand it. The world of Atzilut is not a simple one, it is a complex big world that can correct all the breaking and fill them with all the lights. It is actually the world of correction and, the world of Nekudim broke in order to give deficiencies to the world of Atzilut in order to take these deficiencies; correct them and fulfill them and then by that the whole of creation reaches the End of Correction.

8. S. (16:28) I do not understand why part of the Partzuf is called Nukva?

R. Nukva is usually a deficiency. In Hebrew it comes from the word Nekev, puncture, hole. That is why it is called that way, whenever a deficiency is revealed there, we can talk about Nukva.

9. S. (17:04) I wanted to clarify, when the upper one is in posterior towards the lower one, I am not clear if, the lower one feels that the upper one is in posterior towards him or is concealed? Does he want or does not want to?

R. Achor and Panim, posterior and exterior, is bestowal and reception. Panim is bestowal, Achor is reception, and this is correct for each and every state.

10. S. (17:42) The world of Atzilut emerged as a result of the breaking of the world of Nekudim or is there no true connection and it could have emerged even without the breaking?

R. If it were not for the shuttering of the world of Nekudim, the world of Atzilut would have not emerged.

S. But it is Reshimot, its records are seemingly with less Aviut, coarseness?

R. I do not understand.

S. Which records did it come out with, root and one right?

R. The world of Atzilut came from the records of Aleph and Shoresh and the world of Nekudim came from the records of Bet and Aleph.

S. So it is more refined.

R. It is coarser. But with the Masach before the breaking and without the Masach after the breaking.

S. Partzuf Atik that emerged and at the same time connects Keter of Nekudim as Nukva, the Nukva obligates it to emerge, without it I would not emerge?

R. I do not understand again where are you and what are you talking about? First of all comes out the world of Nekudim, AVI makes Gadlut in the Rosh, passes it on, to the Guf and Guf cross the Parsa and start breaking, then comes out the first four Melachim. Then came YESHSUT, the second Rosh of Nekudim, also received in order to bestow but cross the Parsa and break the second four Melachim. In this way you have the eight Melachim that died. Afterwards we have the purification of the Masach from Bet Aleph to Aleph Shoresh and above it comes the world of Atzilut. First of all comes out the degree of Ibur, Yenika, Mochin because the Aviut of Shoresh starts building up here. This is how we come to the structure of the world of Atzilut. That all of the Partzufim emerge Atik, Arich Anpin, AVI, YESHSUT and ZON, and what are you asking about?

S. I am asking about what he wrote here in item 129, at the moment that this Partzuf emerged it simply must connect that part to Nukva, or it can do it after?

R. No. it comes in order to correct and fulfill these broken vessels. It does not need it for itself, but it needs it because it wants to bestow.

S. So, it is a part of it or later he attaches it?

R. It’s not a part of it but he adds it to himself, so it says it in the text, meaning that he scrutinizes what can it correct from the vessels of the upper that broke, “Because as the Partzuf of Atik came out it connected to it all the GAR of Nekudim that remained complete during the breaking of the vessels, this refers to the Galgalta Eynaim in them, which emerged during their Katnut called the interior vessels.” This is what Atik took. “That in the Katnut of Nekudim only the upper half of each degree came with them, that is Galgalta Eynaim and Nikvey Eynaim. The bottom half of each degree called AHP descended to the lower degree. Hence it is considered that Partzuf Atik of the new MA took from the vessels of Nekudim half of their upper part of Keter and half of Hochma and Bina and seven roots of ZAT, incorporated in the GAR of Nekudim. These became a Partzuf Nukva to Atik of the new MA”. Meaning for Atik already part of the Kelim is arranged from the world of Nekudim as Nukva “and joined with one another, they are called MA and BON of Atik of Atzilut. Since the male of Atik called MA and the vessels of Nekudim that joined it called BON. They are positioned face and back, the Atik of MA in the interior and the vessels of Nekudim in its posterior.” Look, he explains it beautifully as a sketch, as a scheme. There are plenty of questions about it but here he does not elaborate.

11. Rav reading Items #130 (23:42) “Partzuf Arik Anpin of the new MA which emerges at the level of Hochma sorted and connected to itself the lower half of Keter of Nekudim AHP of Keter which during the Katnut these Kelim were at the degree below Keter that is in Hochma and Bina of Nekudim. It became a Nukva to the Arik Anpin to the new MA, which is the Partzuf Hochma, and they joined with one another their positioned right and left Arik Anpin of MA of Atzilut which is the male stands on the right and Arik Anpin of the BON which is the Nukva stands on the left. The reason why the Partzuf Atik of MA did not take the lower half of Keter of Nekudim is since Atik is the first Rosh of Atzilut whose merit is very high it connected to itself only the interior vessels of GAR of Nekudim in whom no flaw occurred during the breaking because it is related to Keter this is not so at the bottom half of Keter the AHP that were fallen in Hochma and Bina during the Katnut the AHP of Keter fell into the Hochma of Bina afterward during the Katnut they rose the Hochma and Bina and joined the Keter Nekudim afterwards at the time of breaking of the vessels they fell from the Keter of Nekudim one more and were revoked thus they were flawed by their fall and revocation and are there unworthy of Atik this is why AA of MA took them.”

Reader reading items 130 (26:12) again

12. R. (28:30) Meaning he is explaining here how, as a result of the shattering, the breaking happened in the world of Nekudim. Every Partzuf that broke there, every part that broke there, is now divided in the world of Atzilut to its counterpart that can somehow catch it, correct it, and raise it to correction to pass light on to it, for them to correct it. We see that this is how it is arranged in the world of the breaking, the world of Nekudim, and the world of correction, the world of Atzilut.

13. S. (29:18) If Atik takes the Kelim of Panim of GAR of Nekudim that were not broken, how could it be that it is also Nukva in regard to Atik?

R. Nukva is not an upper or lower one. Nukva is what we are now correcting and filling. That is called Nukva.

S. But if it did not break, what is there to correct?

R. But it is empty. It was in Nekudim, it exited, its world broke, and it exited from use. Meaning it has a deficiency and this deficiency needs to be corrected and filled.

Rav reading and explaining items #131 (30:15)

The new Partzuf of AVI, which are at the level of Bina, sorted and connected to themselves the lower half of HB of Nekudim, which are the AHP of HB that fell in the ZAT of Nekudim during the Katnut. But afterward, during the Gadlut of Nekudim, they ascended and joined HB of Nekudim. During the breaking of the vessels, they fell once more to the ZAT of Nekudim and were revoked (see Item 107), and AVI of MA sorted them into being their Nukva.

They are called the ZAT [Zayin Tachtonot (bottom seven)] of Hochma and the VAT [Vav Tachtonot (bottom six)] of Hochma and bottom six Bina of BON, since Hesed of Bina remained with the GAR of HB of BON in Partzuf Atik, because the Hesed of Bina is refined like the Rosh and only the VAT from Gevura downward remained at the bottom half of Bina. So, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut. It follows that the male of AVI is the level of Bina of MA, and the Nukva of AVI is the ZAT of HB of BON. They are positioned on the right and on the left: AVI of MA on the right, and AVI of BON on the left. And YESHSUT of MA, which are the ZAT of AVI, took the Malchut of HB of BON.

Reader Item #131 (32:55)

14. R. (34:48) Meaning there is nothing here that is new, but we always spoke about how the degrees are divided from above and below and from left and right. Israel Saba and Tevuna, left and right. There is a right and left or above and below. So thus, there is no confusion here in the system. All remain exactly like those same qualities, like they were.

15. S. (35:22) Maybe you just answered but still I want to ask whether the broken parts find their new place simply according to their equivalence of form, meaning they reach the place they are supposed to be in?

R. Of course, they receive through the upper ones, lights, forces, they arrange themselves according to the corrections in them. What I recommend since we already need to go to the third part of the lesson, what I recommend is, try to read it with some paper and pen and draw these things one against the other so it will be clear to you what comes to us from the world of Nekudim that is broken and what is corrected in the world of Atzilut and how the world of Atzilut corrects the world of Nekudim. There is nothing here, there are just details that are confusing us but in sum total it is according to a very simple method each one is corrected according to the system against it.

S. What is there in the world of Atzilut now that rearranges things there, what changed?

R. The world of Atzilut does not demand anything, it only takes the broken vessels from the world of Nekudim, connects them, corrects them, and fills them. Thus it is called the world of correction.

16. S. (37:06) About the order, when Atik took its Kelim then it stood from above, down and all the Kelim that broke were from right to left when the Partzufim were built.

R. Both, there is this and that.

S. Is this a change that occurred in the world of Atzilut that the order changed from right to left?

R. Right and left are usually Hassadim and Gevurot and above, below is the size of the screens. We need to go on to the third part of the lesson but make a chart according to what we are learning here. How these parts are corrected.
