GEVURAH: MAIN READING OF THE WEEK – THE ZOHAR BOOK

Main Reading for PRAYER OF MANY, today with ENGLISH ZOHAR READING, page 129.

ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Colors are present only in the Guf (body) of the Partzuf, but never in the
Rosh (head). These colors are projected onto Malchut from Above, and she passes
them on to all the lower ones.
c) By lines:

Hesed – right – white

Gevurah – left – red

Tiferet – central, includes al the colors – green

Quite often, colors and elements are used instead of the names of Sefirot
and their properties: fire, water, air, earth (The Zohar, Vayera, item 32). Malchut
is called “earth,” but Malchut that ascends with her properties to Bina is called
“earth of the Temple.” In the Temple, the four sides of the world—Hochma, Bina,
Tifferet and Malchut join the four elements of the world—fire, water, air and
earth. Out of the two points of Bina and Malchut, which are joined together, the
Creator made one Partzuf —Adam.

The four foundations of the world, or the four sides of the world:

Four fundamental metals are created as a result of a Zivug of the four
foundations with Malchut: gold, silver, copper and iron. All of these names, as
well as many others, are used in the Torah instead of the names of the ten Sefirot.
Therefore, although the languages of the Torah, legends, the Talmud, and the
Scriptures are extraordinarily vivid, only the concise language of Kabbalah
provides an accurate description of the spiritual worlds.
The four kinds of symbols used with letters:
Taamim—tone modulations used in pronouncing letters—signify the Direct
Light, which spreads from Above downwards in the body of the Partzuf.
Nekudot—letter punctuation marks—signify the Light during its gradual exit
from the body of the Partzuf from below upwards.
Tagin—crowns above the letters—represent Reshimot (reminiscences/records)
of the previously present Light (Taamim). Tagin originate from GAR de Bina.
