*Morning Lesson October 27, 2020*

*Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Part 1. Ari - item #4. (Then there was a vacant place (80), Avir, and)*

*Part 1 Item 4 words of the ARI “Then there was a vacant place, Avir, and....”(00:01 - 2:13) reads twice*

*Item 90 “Meaning without the discriminations of great...”(2:28 - 4:11)*

58. R.If there was a will to receive in the will to receive was different from the will to bestow and how is this difference revealed if there is no distinction? If there's no distinction in the desires between the degrees then who governs the will to bestow, it can't express itself but the will to receive or maybe the opposite, the will to receive can't create a gap in the degrees between the world to bestow seemingly erases and impresses it, why does it happen this way?

*Reader continues “The answer is the Restriction didn't turn the endpoint into a Sof...”(4:59 - 7:29)*

59. S. How to relate to the four discernments, as four ways to yearn for the light or disparity of form from the light?

R. It is the same thing, we'll talk about it in the Histaklut Pinimit, it will be clear here is talking very general.

60. S. (7:54) Is he talking about the intention before or after the restriction?

R. The intention comes later, here there are no intentions, there are operations, intention means that you desire, there's a difference between the desire and intention, this comes after the restriction.

61. S. (8:30) In the middle point is there light or not?

R. It is not talking about this, but you can say that there is no such thing as having no light, but the point itself doesn't feel that there is light. It is operated but it doesn't feel who operates it because only its own desire is felt there.

62. S. (9:02) Yesterday we said not to be wise, that I don't understand anything about TES and that we should check the questions of the friends and your answers, so I wanted to see if this is the right direction. The light of Chassidim performs corrections in the created being when he's part of the center of the ten yearning in a prayer to connection above all states, that's how we appear if I make room for the light of Chochmah to clothe in us?

R. Correct.

63. S. (9:54) He mentions that there is a middle point which is restricted and there is a Sof, is the end in the middle point?

R. Yes, it is the middle point in the circle.

64. S. (10:18) How does it happen that if the light got lost, it's...?

R. Where it is speaking only from the perspective of the created being, not from the perspective of the Creator, the Creator can turn the creature around however he wants, It is only from the perspective of the created being, the lights, the presence of the Creator the presence of bestowal departs but it's not like it really happens. It's like a baby, if he doesn't see the mother, he thinks she left him but the mother didn't leave him, she is just in a place where he can't see her. So, we're speaking only from the perspective of the created being, we can't ever speak from the perspective of the Creator.

65. S. (11:22) He writes that the reason for the restriction isn't the disparity of form but that we will be adhered to the light?

R. Of course but it's not because of inferiority that the will to receive is inferior to the will to bestow but he operates in the will to receive, the force of the Creator that wants to bring the will to receive into similarity with it, like a baby whatever it does in the eyes of the mother he is perfect, he is the best and the most beautiful. But in truth at the same time, you need to work on it so that it will grow. Moreover the more it grows, the more it becomes opposite from the Creator, a baby also as it grows it seemingly becomes farther, more opposite from the mother, it doesn't want things, his ego, but who doesn't want it to grow? This is what creation is like it grows in two directions, the will to receive that is opposite from the Creator and as much as possible to put upon at the will to bestow said that it becomes similar to the Creator, two opposite influences that grow in the will to receive, this is how we develop.

S. We as created beings, what can we learn from this?

R. We like the created beings must not say that we don't want this or that, but to accept everything, to welcome everything that specifically through everything we grow. We need everything in order to grow and to be complete. The Creator didn't create anything that is revealed in us not for the purpose of the final correction so that we will be like him.

66. S. (14:08) The vacant place in the air that remained other definitions for this and what are the differences?

R. Afterwards in the Histaklut Pinimit.

67. S. (14:24) After the desire to create the worlds, what did He restrict?

R. He restricted his participation in creation to allow creation to develop further, to develop more.

S. So what do we do then, what do I do when he restricted himself?

R. Don't worry that's before your time, it's not you yet, the Creator restricted himself to give creation, to allow creation to be revealed.

S. So that means that he's concealed?

R. Yes.

*Reader continues “ on the other hand it is possible to deepen and increase...”(15:07 - 16:50)*

68. R. I think that is clear.

69. S. (17:03) How does the purification, the screen happen in spirituality?

R. We haven't spoken about that....learn to study methodically what is written we are learning what is not written we are not learning yet. We have just started.

70. S. (17:36) The restriction, Malchut does this Tzimtzum out of the will to bestow?

R. Here we still can't talk about it but in principle yes, all of the restrictions are on the will to receive that doesn't want to enjoy in the form of reception, but that this can happen but it might be only because of the shame in the Malchut of Ein Sof. It still doesn't have a desire to bestow and doesn't know what is a desire to bestow but after the restriction that begins to develop to a state where it can bestow. Basically in every place besides the Malchut of Ein Sof you can say that the restriction is because he wants to bestow upon the host, this is why he doesn't receive in the host. In the Malchut of Ein Sof is the restriction is because of the shame not in order to bestow upon the host but because it is ashamed of itself.

71. S. (18:48) Are the worlds, do they come from the world concealment is this also a form of..?

R. The worlds were created through the restrictions when the light was restricted. Correct.

72. S. (19:20) You said that the restriction is a result of shame but before we said that the restriction is a result of unity and connecting the qualities of the Creator?

R. There's nothing to do here we're talking about the world of Ein Sof where you don't have the conditions that you will have later, here the creature is still discovering its oppositeness from the Creator and the sensation of the oppositeness from the Creator when it stands opposite the Creator, then the Creator is felt in the created being as lack of similarity lack of equivalence and felt as shame. I am not similar to him is felt in man’s shame that's why it restricts all of the feeling that it has in Malchut of Ein Sof.

*Reader continues “ However because it is important the pleasure he receives...”(20:29 - 21:33)*

73. S. Malchut of Ein Sof is that Adam HaRishon?

R. It doesn't say and therefore the question is inappropriate, the Malchut of Ein Sof is a Malchut that place is no boundaries on the reception of the light, Adam is very far from here, it is something that will be similar to the Creator, but very far from it yet.

74. S. (22:14) If there is no lack in spirituality how can there be a restriction?

R. The same form that was, still remains and in addition to it there comes the next form soon we will learn it in the Histaklut Pinimit of Part 1

75. S. (22:43) What is a desire for a new form?

R. The yearning when we are drawn to a new state.

76. S. (22:57) Why is there a continuation after the restriction to an action called reception in order to bestow what is this add to the four phases?

R. There is no restriction on reception in order to bestow there is a restriction on the intention in order to receive and it is added because by that the created being achieved equivalence with the Creator.

77. S. (23:27) Is there any connection between the restriction that we go through and the restriction in the text?

R. No similarity at all, in our restriction it is because we don't want in the will to receive and there the restriction is because he discovers that he can't use the desire in order to bestow.

78. S. (23:54) On one hand he is not lacking anything on the other he's feeling the shame to perform the connection, how does this work together?

R. The fact that he's not lacking anything is too but the shame because he's opposite from the Creator is what brings him to the restriction he doesn't need anything for himself but at the same time he feels opposite from the Creator. That induces the shame.

79. S. (24:29) He writes that there was no thickness so this isn't only the force of the desire at something else?

R. Aviut means to the extent that I feel opposite, that I am opposite from the Creator this Aviut in spirituality, not just that I want. We are speaking about equivalence of form with respect to the Creator with him revealing his Aviut with respect to the light

S. So if there's no Independence there's no Aviut?

R. Independence is a different story, don't add definitions.

79. S. (25:12) Bechinah Dalet , the fourth discernment restricted itself in the middle point, the question is that middle point is that a vessel and its opposite form as if a vessel that receives the light from the outside like a magnet?

R. No, it doesn't absorb it from the outside it is a Kli that discovers that the light feels it that the light is already in it, we are speaking about the four phases of the Direct Light and the light is already in them and they discover in what way the light fills them. Next time ask more concretely, more to the point.

80. S. (26:04) Our connection to the point of Tzimtzum that only starts from the passage between degrees?

R. No, we will discover later the reason for the Tzimtzum, soon. Let's reveal these things in the Histaklut Pinimt, where he explains it more easily and technically.

*Reader continues “we learned that the above that the primary reason...”(26:41 - 27:36)*

*Reader Item 100 “It means that there was some image...”(27:37 - 30:57)*

81. R. In other words the Tzimtzum was not because of the inferiority because it's not receiving, that is not why it didn't want it, it wanted to raise itself higher toward the Emanator and not be opposite from it. This is why he restricted himself, no one pressured him or forced him to not to receive, it's just that he himself decided to do that, because it is still able to receive. Because he saw that his will to receive is now functioning not like the Emanator but on the other hand this recognition, this awareness did not come because of inferiority. Like a mother and the child, the child doesn't feel inferior to the mother, it is as if he is a superior, he's the boss who determines everything. He can decide for the mother what she will want, what she will do and she works for him, but still he wants to grow and be similar to her. So maybe here we can perhaps compare the situations, the mother and the child and the baby with the state of the restriction of the Malchut of Ein Sof does. More than that again I am saying we are going to read and learn in a few more pages in Histaklut Pinimit, about this part here it is explained a lot closer to us. Basically, that's it so next time we will start with Item five in the words of the ARI.

82. S. (33:20) About the way we study we really feel we are study TES and the intention is completely different, for the good but still on the other hand when we read the text you know we read round, square, onion skins, you cannot get corporeal images in your mind how do you deal with that?

R. This is what will happen to you until you acquire spiritual discernment, you can't help it, there is no choice.

83. S. (34:04) You mentioned we have to want to be like a mother and I never want to be as a mother until I became as a father and that gives me the example of having the friend to take care of. The feeling arose that it's because of what the friends desire and I need to annul so trying to connect with the friends and the lessons during TES, do I just ask the Creator to be in this intention and annul from there?

R. Now you're talking about our work, you're talking about what happens, long before us in the world of Ein Sof so we shouldn't connect what we're learning with what we have to do. It is still completely unrelated to our work, it is good that you want to do it but it doesn't work together.

84. S. (35:30) About the spiritual laws if a child and an old man in our world, they both fall off the roof they will be similar results, but it seems that in the spiritual world if they go over some spiritual law the rules will be different depending on the degree?

R. Each one will get it according to his quality and degree of course. Anyone who falls from a higher state suffers a bigger problem.

85. R. On Thursday you have an event and I'm asking everyone to participate in this event on Thursday.
