Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. The Gatehouse of Intentions (Chapter 4. #50)

Reading The Gatehouse of Intentions Chapter 4 #50 (03:00) Twice

Reading simple light #50 (02:20)

1. S. (07:53) Can you give us a hint about this cancellation of the second restriction rising in the worlds, is so complicated even to imagine and how to attach these states?

R. The second restriction means we cannot work in the state of Gadnut, greatness, or adulthood, in all of the 10 Sefirot but only in Katnut, smallness. And when we complete the Katnut then we reach work in the Gatnut and that is considered that all of the worlds BYA we can now raise them to Atzilut and then from Atzilut we, together with Atzilut who is filled with all of the lights and it was spread from the Tabur of AK until the ending of AK, that  is called that his legs were standing on the Mount of Olives, and the same messiah king, meaning the upper light as it shines above Tabur in AK, it also shines below the Tabur of AK until the Sium of AK. And that is what we call Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction.

S. If you can clarify this, is there such a state where the entire ego will be revealed?

R. Of course the entire ego here will be corrected.

2. S. (10:05) On the topic of Mount Olives, it’s written here the Raglaim of the five Partzufim of Atzilut expanded to Mount Olives equal to AK, what kind of state is that?

R. It comes to talk about a state about the end of correction, the final correction, just like we discussed.

3. S. (10:30) It says, even though you’re standing there, nevertheless it’s not revealed because the Parsa is covering ABYA below Atzilut, why do we need this concealment, he talks about the concealment that he’s standing on the Mount of Olives and it’s not concealed, why do we have to go through this entire story where specifically the Creator is not revealed, what does that give us?

R. These vessels are not yet ready for usage, these desires are not worthy of receiving in order to bestow, they still need corrections, and when we will advance to that and come closer to that and try and fill these desires with receiving in order to bestow, in small ways, gradually, then we’ll reach a state that these vessels will rise to Atzilut and then from Atzilut they will go down until this world. And there will be the Raglin in Raglin.

S. When he continues in the second restriction, what is the cancellation of the second restriction?

R. It means that there will be no more restrictions on only using the vessels of bestowal rather you’ll be able to use in order to bestow also the vessels of reception.

S. He says here that the worlds will be the worthy of receiving in Malchut of the first restriction, why should he be worthy in the first restriction what’s the relation between the two?

R. Because there will have the power to receive in order to bestow.

S. So in fact this work here how can we reach it?

R. When we raise small parts of the vessels above the Parsa and there they are corrected and they receive fulfillment.

S. So the Parsa between Atzilut and Beria will be canceled?

R. Yes, good luck.

4. S. (13:03) What does it mean that AK is called Adam why is it called Adam?

R. AK is called Adam because its future is to resemble the Creator.

S. But we usually say that there isn’t any connection between the world of AK and the created beings?

R. What created beings, where do you see created beings called Adam, we’re studying the wisdom of Kabbalah not some physiology or medicine.

S. So what is Adam?

R. Adam is one who resembles the Creator and that’s why we’re not called Adam, AK is called Adam Kadmon, the primordial man and the will to receive will eventually be incorporated in the form of Adam Kadmon and it will be as Adam, similar to the Creator.

S. Is there another Adam before Adam Kadmon?

R. No, we have Adam of Beria an Adam of Atzilut and those are partial forms of the general Adam, the general structure.

S. So the complete Adam is AK?

R. Yes.

5. S. (14:48) What is the Mount of Olives?

R. Mount Olives, we will learn about it, it’s that point where there is contact between the lower world and the upper world.

S. Does that mean it’s part of Malchut?

R. Yes, it’s part of Malchut.

6. S. (15:38) What is the role of Tabur in the final correction, what is that then differentiate?

R. Tabur in the end of correction should be canceled in principle and the light will shine from one end to the other, one light, which is the light of Yechida.

S. The first restriction is also canceled?

R. The first restriction is never canceled, the second restriction, yes. The first restriction cannot be canceled because otherwise there’s no restriction on in order to receive and that will not be canceled.

S. [missing translation]

R. The first restriction remains forever.

S. And he writes here that only the second restriction is canceled and only the Parsa.

R. That’s what I said.

S. But the Tabur still remains?

R. What do you mean the Tabur remains, the world of AK, or the structure of the world of AK, will become as one structure that includes all the Partzufim and all the worlds, Galgalta will include everything in it.

S. The fourth phase of the Galgalta, what is that?

R. What is the first phase?

S. The fourth phase below the Tabur?

R. Yes.

S. Does that also join in the final correction?

R. Yes of course all the vessels join otherwise it’s not the final.

7. S. (17:31) Regarding the second restriction, can we depict the second restriction like the relations between the guests and the host?

R. Try.

S. And if I understand correctly the goal is to cancel the second restriction, so what do I need to do to cancel the second restriction?

R. To cancel the second restriction.

S. What turn to the Creator special request, what does it mean that I need to cancel the second restriction?

R. I don’t know, do you feel where the second restriction is?

S. Maybe you can clarify exactly what it means?

R. You’re not even close to it, so why are you asking about it?

S. I want to come closer to it.

R. So try to come closer to it, the second restriction, first and foremost shows you the boundary, the border, between vessels of reception and vessels of bestowal, and you should not work with vessels of reception you should only work in vessels of bestowal, that’s why the second restriction signifies to you.

S. The goal is to cancel that, to be able to work with everything?

R. I don’t want to get into it with you because it’s going to confuse people, when you ask more and more and more it almost always comes to greater confusion.

8. S. (18:58) If we can further clarify, what is the worst egoistic, most severe point in relation to a person in the entire world, at that point that there is no worse point, what is that?

R. I don’t know what to tell you, I think it’s when a person receives an opportunity for adhesion with the Creator and he kicks it and he kicks it away.

9. S. (19:54) What does it mean, the inner Adam Kadmon?

R. We have Adam Kadmon that includes all of the worlds and it wants to adjust all of creation to fit the Creator, Adam from the word Domeh, similar, resembling, and there’s Adam, who part of the Partzuf of Adam Kadmon which is above the Tabur and part that’s below the Tabur and there’s all kinds of parts and all kinds of appearances that are also called Adam.

Reading item number 51 (20:54) “ it was said about Atzilut..”

Reading item number 52 (22:07) twice

Reading simple Light number 52 (23:40)

10. S. (24:51) What is the meaning that the Nukva of ZA rises together with ZA?

R. Very simple because, we need to read 52 again.

Rav Reading: The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun will be be sevenfold like the light of the first 7 days ZAT of Malchut of AK, called Atik Yomin of Atzilut.

This means that the sun and the moon will return to being the two great lights, on an equal level, through Keter, face to face. This is the seventh degree that the Ari wrote about, when the light of Keter and Bina and Malchut, he wants to explain here, what’s going on here.

When the Nukva of ZA ascends with ZA to the level of GAR of AA of and to incorporate with the coupling in GAR of Atik, at that time ZA will dress the full level of ZAT of Atik, which extend equally with the Raglaim of AK through the point of this world, he says the Parsa of the second restriction will be completely revoked. What’s happening here, the Parsa of Atzilut will be revoked and the light that comes to us, even from the Rosh of the Galgata, let’s put it more simply, will come to us also and will fill everything above the general Tabur and from the general Tabur to the Parsa and below the Parsa to the Sium. This is what will happen when the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun.

S. How does it turn out that the light of the sun is the light of the moon?

R. When Malchut rises to Bina, it awakens Bina to receive in order to bestow all the light of Hochma. I don’t know how it’s happening, but it’s happening at the end of correction.

S. So the Malchut doesn’t have its light, how can it shine?

R. Right, but Bina has the light and this light of Bina is called the light of the moon and will receive from the Keter, and this way the light of Keter and Bina and Malchut will be equal. On equal level, everything will be filled with the light of the Ein Sof, in short.

Reading chapter 5 item number 53 (28:33)

Reading item number 54 (29:25)

11. R. (29:54) NRN are true vessels that we correct and fill but Haya and Yechida we cannot use them yet, in full, so for now the lights of Haya and Yechida cannot clothe and their vessels.

Reading item number 55 (30:15)

Reading item number 56 (31:35)

Reading item number 57 (32:07)

Reading Simple Light number 53 (34:03)

12. S. (35:27) I wanted to ask you if he says here and also in the Zohar every time he said he should know the Moach is the vessel for the soul and the Neshama spreads to the whole body from the Moach to the feet, the brains and the feet, why do we use body organs to describe spiritual states?

R. Because one corresponds to the other it’s clear.

S. You mean it’s clear?

R. It’s clear, that’s how it’s built, that’s how it’s done. Just like you have a human body that has arms and legs and the body itself and the Rosh and the inside of the body and the Sof, end, and the organs of the body and it was done according to the likeness of the Creator so it’s easy for us to explain the spiritual structure of the spiritual vessel.

S. It’s only to explain it’s not that there’s actually some connection between the body and the soul?

R. No, of course not, it’s only to have an easier time reading everything, reading the parts.

S. Then he continues the four letters of HaVaYaH, can you open up what the 4 letters of HaVaYaH are internally?

R. Yud Hey Vav Hey, Keter, Hochma, Bina, ZA, Malchut.

S. Yes, but what does it mean internally, what are these letters?

R. Those are four parts of the spiritual vessel.

S. He writes that it’s perfection, perfection of what?

R. Perfection of the spiritual vessel.

13. S. (37:22) Regarding item 50, it says here that ten sparks were completed from Akev of Assiya and until then the inner AK is not full, what are these sparks?

R. This is the final Malchut that cannot be corrected except in the end of correction, it’s called the heels, and when it will be corrected then all the lights, the final lights, big and small will enter this vessel and it will be the end of correction. The heels of AK are called the end of all corrections, that’s why the heels of the messiah, the heels of the messiah as it’s called.

S. The worlds of BYA, the impure worlds when they are corrected, they are corrected first Beria then Assiya and then Yetzira?

R. Yeah it’s like that, there are additional subtleties but in actuality it’s like that

S. And when it said that the spiritual ladder starts from Malchut to Parsa, what does it mean there?

R. That they clothe there, it’s not a problem, it depends on where you’re looking, from above down or below up. If it’s according to the coarseness then the correction starts from above, from the smallest coarseness, the purest, the finest, and if it’s according to the lights then it starts from below, the smallest lights start all the way down and this is the inverse relation between lights and vessels.

S. Last question, in Adam Kadmon if I understood it, in Tabur and below, there are the impure worlds that are formed in order to correct the space between Tabur and the ending of Adam Kadmon, so in Adam Kadmon something takes place in the Tabur and then from the Tabur and below, there all of the corrections take place in this world and then when you reach the heel Assiya, that’s when the correction of Adam Kadmon ends, is that correct?

R. This all happens at the same times because if in the world of ABYA, a certain correction takes place and they need to raise MAN to the world of Adam Kadmon into the world of Ein Sof and then from there we get new lights and they correct the vessels and then you bring the lights of fulfillment to these vessels and that’s how it works out, meaning everything goes up from below up and also from above down.

14. S. (41:17) What are we coming out of the lesson with?

R. Each one should come out with what he learned and what he was thinking about and other than the study, what kind of aim, we aim ourselves during our study and with that we go and I hope that today we will have a greater connection, a clearer connection, a tighter to one another and it’s not important what’s happening, it’s completely not important what’s happening, the important thing is to feel ourselves tighter in the connection because by that we approach the end of Correction and then we care about nothing, only the correction in connection. Good luck to you, one big embrace to everyone.
