Baal HaSulam - Introduction to The Book of Zohar. #26

47. R. (00:15) We are continuing no, I don't have anything to say but what we said in the previous item from this emerges the resolution of the 5th inquiry that is so corrupted so we said that they desire to receive returns but in corrections after this circle the soul can be revealed in it, not all of Nefesh as it is a general name, all of the lights NRNHY are revealed in this and by this the will to receive is eternal and in equivalence of form with the Creator.

Item 26 (01:13) “We have already stated that the first….””

48. R. (02:03) In other words that you desire to receive must be revealed in its fullest power, how opposite it is from the light and how it wants to control all of reality and only afterwards does the ability to correct it really come in.

Reader continues (02:32) “Then comes the work renewed ….”

49. R. (03:42) In other words the desire to receive that is in each one it's not enough for us it is very small, we have to come to a very big excessive desire to receive that wants to devour all of reality including the Creator and then it really is fit for correction and then we correct it, because in wanting to devour the whole world it has data, information from all over the world, it has huge egoistic powers and qualities and then we can identify them to correct them to the point that it is completely inverted into the intention to bestow. That we will attach it to this intention and in this way achieve correction, this is why in these three states, one two and three, we see it is the same desire to receive except it is either more or less revealed according to our ability to place on it the intention to bestow. It is not the desire to receive but the intention to bestow that determines the level of the desire to receive, where and to what and where it is on the ladder of corrections.

S. So the flaws in the desire to receive, are they corrected?

R. Of course they are, why are they revealed, the flaws are those qualities in the desire to receive that are opposite from the light, from the Creator, it is these morsels.

S. What does it mean you have to revive them in these flaws?

R. We have to keep the flaws until we correct them so we reveal them to understand the benefit from them. This is a very important point that I see the illness, I detect its root and I don't erase it as I can't take some pain killer and then I am well. I understand that I am not well but that I can be well only if I correct the equivalence of form. It is impossible to slight the desire to receive, to discourage it until it is all corrected with the intention to bestow. I relate to it differently and as an assistant, helping me not to see how far I am from the Creator but also how I can use it to approach the Creator. I turn it, it is like the angel of death becoming a Holy Angel and instead of an enemy I turn this enemy into a friend, a loved one as it is written in many excerpts.

S. Don't erase the flaws and they remain?

R. If the flaws do not stay how will you begin to reveal love on top of them, the uniqueness about them. The flaws are opposite from the Creator so they help us to reveal and understand Him as the advantage of light from within the darkness. More darkness is revealed with all of the discernments in it. It is like going into a cave and you are lost or you don't know precisely out of this you discover the light.

S. If I correct the flaws what happens to it?

R. It stays because without a flaw you will have no sensation of correction and in the end of correction a special light comes, a special revelation which probably erases everything and only good is left. Without the bad I don't know, as in that stage, where you don't need the bad in order to reveal the light, where you don't need darkness in order to reveal the light. The darkness is probably swallowed itself into the light, it is called the darkness will shine as light. We don't understand this as it is not really explained, there are words that talk about it.

S. What does it mean to correct it if it is still there?

R. Because you are using it for the purpose of correction this is what it means correcting it and according to that it is needed because the darkness shines as light, it exists in order to bring out the light, to make the light stand out more conspicuous. Because if it disappears it can also not be as light, something that shines or is special. we are just using the words that we have in our situation for now because that situation is very far.

50. S. (10:03) Is the state where they desire rots and is brought to burial, this is the state of the desert and when it is revived, it is the land of Israel?

R. I don't know as it is not written about it and I don't want to talk about it. Stick to the text to feel it, to understand and feel it all the way, why do you want to connect it to things that are certainly not as you are saying it, let’s learn the topic itself.

Item 27 (10:51) “Indeed there cannot be revival for the dead ….”

51. R. (12:48) In other words until we have all of the light of Ein Sof so we can correct the desire to receive in it, we cannot awaken the desire to receive but when we come to that state that is already when the light is in our hands meaning that we have completed the second reality, then we can revive the desire to receive, correct it to its fullest in order to bestow. Here there is nothing more to add although there are many questions but these questions are not something that we can understand in our work, only intellectually to the extent that we twist these things and it becomes philosophy.

Item 28 (13:56) “Our sages said the dead are destined to be revived ….”

52. R. (15:57) In other words that same desire to receive should be revealed in all the specific particular desires in it, all of the corruption in it and we have to correct it all the way. This is what the thought of creation requires of us.

Item 29 (16:23) “Now we can resolve the above second inquiry ….”

53. S. (19:43)

R. To the extent we can attain the intention to bestow not the desire as the desire to bestow is the Creator we only have the intention, to the extent we can acquire, attain the intention to bestow to that extent the desire to receive opens for us so that we will correct it.

54. S. (20:46) Where is the exaggerated desire to receive, how do we attain this more?

R. You can't acquire anywhere, as a minute you want to engage in bestowing you will begin to discover how the greater desire to receive comes and awakens in you as it is called, he who is greater than his friend is those who engage in bestowing, his inclination is greater than him, a greater desire to receive is revealed in him.

S. Speak for a few morning lessons, I sit here and I have no desire. What should I do?

R. Connect to the friends and receive from them.

55. S. (21:42) The Sitra Achra and the Klipot are playing a big role in our development, in our current state should we be conscious of it or should we just disregard it, how to adjust our inner work towards the Klipot and Sitra Achra?

R. We have to know and to learn now that all of the other side and the Klipot that are revealed us are revealed in order to raise us, we grow on top of them, where do we come from, how do we grow? Only from the Klipot, the broken desire to receive when we try to invert it into the desire to bestow to some extent and accordingly, we grow in spirituality. We have nowhere else, the desire to receive that growth is revealed and we can turn it to work in order to bestow and this is our spiritual level. There is nothing else.

56. S. (23:51) Does the degree of receiving in order to bestow is revealed only after all the evil has been revealed?

R. Not all the evil, but the intention to bestow is revealed, then the desire to receive and again, and again the intention to bestow, alternate day and night day and night, ascent and descent.

57. S. (24:28) When the Sitra Achra fills its portion the desire to receive grows and wants its higher portion so the whole revelation of the desire to receive should be revealed when we receive it?

R. All of the revelation of the desire to receive is in order for us to use it and to be careful, check and see as much as it only brings us bad, distance from the Creator, distortion of reality as it is the angel of death and then we will try and distance ourselves from it and even inverted into the desire to bestow. Turn the angel of death into the Holy Angel.

Item 30 (25:39) “The second division is from 13 years and on ….”

58. R. (26:09) From this way see those 13 years, in order to state that point as he just says, when in a person a tendency for spirituality starts awakening, that is called that he came to the state of 13 years.

Reader continues (26:30) “And then one begins to enter the system of the worlds of ….”

59. R. (28:17) We advance and start developing in the desire to receive toward spirituality, that is where the big desires are, where the true work is to correct them in order to bestow.

Item 31 (28:34) “It is written about the verse; the leech has two daughters ….”

60. R. (32:10) Briefly he explains all of the states that we have to go through, obviously these states are still before us, we can't really discuss them yet because we don't feel them yet, it is only theoretical that we supposedly engage in them.

Item 32 (32:50)” The third division is the work and Torah and Mitzvot ….”

61. S. (35:16) Is the point in the heart the quality of Bina?

R. Yes, it is the beginning of the quality of Bina.

62. S. (35:49) The four divisions touch upon our essence but it really frustrates me as I can't answer the question of what is the meaning of this life, what chance do I have of attaining everything?

R. In this life you have to start going through all of these degrees, the three degrees for certain and also like you right here the 4th degree as well, even the revival of the dead that obviously we're not talking about our bodies but about our desire to receive that we can even reach the resurrection during our life in this world.

S. So it is as if 90 or 90% of life we deal with nonsense even for me who knows the wisdom, what chance do people on the outside have of attaining anything?

R. We're not talking about people on the outside, they have no chance because they don't need this, people who get an awakening and come to the wisdom of Kabbalah, start getting into this process as much as they enter the process they already start advancing. They are in this general flow towards the corrections and in this way generation after generation and we are in the last generation, meaning that we have the chance to actually reach the end of the path theoretically as much as we succeed, we succeed as much as we don't, we don't. The main thing for us is still to be drawn to this as this is the process everyone goes through and you can to prevent yourself. This is how we have to take it, now the fact that you want to start and end the whole process now it's nice and good if you have a desire and the forces for it, please. This is given to each one and as much as each one can he should see himself and show the others as well.

63. S. (38:16) What is the last line where he says there's a chosen few who are given this work in their lives in this world? What is this work?

R. The work of the end of correction.

S. And who are the chosen few?

R. The work that comes after the revival of the dead, but desire to receive rots and there's nothing left of it but a few records after it was completely dead and buried it is now revived in the big, worst receive. It is revealed again, but not in order to control everyone but to be corrected, which is the day that will be revived in their flaw, that the desire to receive can't function anymore, it just resurrects to be healed and then it is inverted from reception into bestowing. There are those chosen few who can still give in this work when they are alive in this world.

S. So what does it mean that there are those who do the work of the revival of the dead in this world?

R. That they can participate in the revival of the desire to receive, the revival of the dead, that in them the desire to receive awakens and after it does it reaches a final rotting and it all happens to them during the time that they belong to the degree of this world also.

S. Is this us?

R. Maybe, it could be, it all depends on the person, he says there are those chosen few who are given this work while still alive in this world.

64. S. (40:37) The revival of the dead, does this begin in the world of Atzilut so how does it happen as if we skip over those worlds in Tumaa?

R. We are incorporated in all the world BYA of impurity. This is called that they are revealed because it only exists towards us, this is why after we are in the world of Atzilut we can also, by our prayer, raise the shattered vessels to the world Atzilut. That they are in the world of Klipot they then rise to ABYA this is called the revival of the dead. Whoever is in the world of Atzilut is called it is that he was rewarded with resurrection. Whoever is below still doesn't have the light of Hochma and this is why he is still causing it. Because the light of Hochma as the light of life is only in the world of Atzilut.

S. How do we skip over the worlds of ABYA?

R. We don't skip over anything, but here we don't learn he is only explaining it in a brief manner. These worlds of BYA are supporting the world Atzilut not that we need to be in them or stop there or anything, that we need to reach the world Atzilut which is GE and start rising through BYA from the desires of 1 2 3 4 and to add them into the world Atzilut that there GE is all the world of Atzilut, it is the desires of root and 1 and then in the world Atzilut we can resurrect the entire Partzuf of the soul and then more shattered desires join it from BYA.

65. S. (43:23) What does it mean when you rise to the word Atzilut?

R. That we get vessels of bestowal that we attain in our attainment called Olam de Atzilut.

S. no translation

R. That is called to rise, meaning that we have a screen and that we can receive in order to bestow and according to that screen we raise to the world Atzilut the worlds of 2, 3, 4 from BYA to the world of Atzilut until we take all the shattered vessels from BYA and raise them Atzilut.

S. The degree in the world of Atzilut is similar to the degree in the ten?

R. Between us and between us to the Creator.

S. What degree of connection should there be between us, what is the nature of this degree and characteristics?

R. Bestowing in order to bestow in a complete way, upon all of the desires that are revealed in us that is called that we have finally raised to the world Atzilut, for now there are such that rise and descend, rise and descend but when we rise to the world Atzilut and we are already there it is called that we have acquired GE of our soul. Because what we have in all the world ABYA is our soul and this is how it is divided into different parts of the coarseness of root and 1 that is Atzilut, 2 is Beria, 3 Yetzirah, 4 Assiya.

S. Can it be said that each desire that is revealed we prefer connection in the ten on top of it?

R. Yes, otherwise, you don't have any right to be in spirituality altogether, when a new desire is revealed in you, either upon it you reach connection and then you are rewarded with a new degree or you descend. According to that new desire that you didn't succeed in overcoming and connecting it to in order to bestow.

S. Is this something common to the whole ten or will each friend be able to work this way in everything he sees?

R. Yes, in this way each and every one and everybody together.

66. S. (46:59) Because of the example of the guest and the host, can you explain the four phases?

R. You read it. I can't explain it now, it's too late if you want to ask. We can't even repeat it if we need to but I don't think that there is a real need for it right now. We have concrete work of what we have to do right now, then we will come closer and advance towards it, we just have to hear about it in general that there are such stages in our development.

S. If I'm rephrasing, if a correction happens only after the revival of the dead, what was the work of putting to death the desire to receive?

R. You didn't want to work with your desire to receive in any way in all the degrees of coarseness, that is called that you bring it to death if you don't use it.

S. So it is a restriction?

R. Yes, you rise above it and decide that you can work with it from the easiest in order to bestow to the heaviest and then it is called the revival of the dead.

67. S. (48:46) What is the difference, we spoke about the world Atzilut several times. You explain that there are drips of fortune that come there. What is the difference between this and the reforming light?

R. There are a lot of forces there that they are called by all kinds of different names, the lights that come to us have a lot of names, there are dozens of lights, there are lights that don't come in a constant form but as cessations, breaks, this is why they are called Mazal, drips, like little drops, this is why it is called fortune.

68. S. (50:03) This evening we have a very important event, a common meal with everyone, with the special meal we are having this afternoon, what should we come prepared for?

R. I hope that I will soon receive the materials from those who work on the excerpts and we will go over them stating the essence of what the meal has to be like. In the evening what should you do, do something I don't know why it’s; I think that let's say me for myself that I will prepare an omelet on a plate and some bread and so, I don't need more than that, each one prepares something simple, a sandwich, bread with cheese, I don't know what. The meal has to be bread as we were saying, a drink, any materials we will prepare toward the evening.

S. How should the tens work during the day?

R. Each one should read it as you don't need to go and run to prepare before unless you can.

S. Repeat it in the ten or by us?

R. I haven't seen it so I can't say anything.

S. How do I come to the meal as this is a different event than the lesson, what is the inner state of coming to the meal?

R. We are all sitting as if we were at one table and we want to feel each other close as much as possible, close in our soul not in our bodies, that we have one purpose that we want to connect internally, emotionally that in this way we can come closer to our source, the Creator and we start feeling Him, the upper light, the Creator in the connection between us stronger than our life. That is what I think we have to think about, stronger than our life, the connection between us and the Creator. In this way we will reach a stage that we can uplift above this world, not that we disconnect from it, we don't, we remain responsible and everything that we have here, we disconnect our internality of each person and this we want to raise above this life and connected all together with the difference between everybody and then by that we can reveal the Creator.

S. Yesterday you said the first meal was a kind of end of correction?

R. Yes, that is how we called it.

S. The meals now are details, specifics in there?

R. Yes, the details of the meal of the end of correction, it seals all of the corrections the private corrections that we have done in the 6000 years, now the meal we will perform we will state each and every meal, each and every connection we have throughout the 6000 years that we have to perform he is all of those events supposedly, occasions that we do that we also state in meals. Birth, Bar Mitzvah, wedding, all kinds of things, when we have meals, because the meal is like an end of correction, it is always a connection around receiving the light.

S. So this evening what should we expect as this is a partial correction. What does this mean with respect to our expectations?

R. You get what they will put together I don't know what that is yet and we will think together how we will have that meeting, that meal as it is not a coincidence that this is how it is happening it is good that we don't know yet. Just last evening I spoke to them and no wonder they're not ready yet. Give them an idea what they should do and how to do it and we will see what they will do. I am happy that we understand each other and come closer to each other more, this is how it is happening in fact and gives us the biggest hope in correction.
