THE MOTHER LENDS HER CLOTHES
TO HER DAUGHTER
(Continuation)
This scenario is similar to one when a good, strong person joins a company
of wicked men, and connects with them by pretending to be like them. And
when such contact is established between them, he begins to correct them,
little by little, precisely through this connection that has formed between
them beforehand.
Each Partzuf in the small state is divided into two parts: GE and AHP.
However, since there is a “column” of Partzufim between our world and the
Creator, there is a connection between them via the common parts of the upper
and the lower ones. Precisely because there is a part of an Upper One in each
lower one, the lower one can receive strength from Above, through this common
property, and ascend independently up to the Creator Himself.
Each Upper One that falls to the lower one completes its Kelim to ten Sefirot:
AHP fall to GE of the lower one, and together they make up ten Sefirot, since
they stand at the same level. In turn, AHP of the lower one falls into GE of the
next lower one, and so on.
Afterwards, in Gadlut, when GE of the Upper One receive the strength to
attach their AHP to themselves and elevate them, GE of the lower one ascend
together with AHP, as they were joined below. Therefore, upon ascending, GE of
the lower one continue to be joined with AHP of the Upper One, and together
they form a Partzuf of ten Sefirot.
I PRONOUNCE THE LETTERS ELEH: Israel (one who wishes to receive
the properties of the Creator) raises MAN (prayer for it) to receive in Malchut
the Light of Gadlut (for self-correction) with the help of the letters ELEH, Ima-
Bina. This is achieved by praying near the Gates of Tears, after which no one
ever returns empty-handed, that is, after raising MAN, ELEH descend from AVI
to Malchut, the house of Elokim. This is because after receiving ELEH, Malchut
herself receives the name Elokim, just like Ima.
A WORD IS WORTH A GOLD COIN, BUT SILENCE IS WORTH
TWO: the words (spiritual action) of Rabbi Elazar (the spiritual Partzuf of that
name) elevated Malchut to Tvuna, below Chazeh de AA, where there is still no
Light of Hochma, which designates the presence of a question in Malchut, a
request for Ohr Hochma. And this is called “gold” (Hebrew – Sela, a gold coin),
for that is the name of Malchut.
However, Rabbi Elazar’s silence enabled Rabbi Shimon to reveal Ohr
Haya by raising Malchut to the Supernal Mother, whereupon both worlds were
simultaneously created, for the lower world, Malchut, was created together with
the Upper World, Bina, of which The Zohar speaks: SILENCE IS WORTH
TWICE (two worlds) AS MUCH.
