Part 2:
Baal HaSulam. The Gatehouse of Intentions (Chapter 5. Simple Light. #55)
Reading () Chapter 5 – Item # 55 “You already know that the Moach [brain] is a vessel for the Neshama…”
Reading (02:04) Simple Light – Item 55 “The Neshama spreads throughout the Guf from the Moach to the Raglaim, etc..”
1.R. (07:40) This is more or less understood to us, clear from the closing of the Partzufim we spoke about it, even drew it, and know what do we have.
2. S. (08:01) He says in item 55 that these are the three vessels, Moach, Lev, Kevved, and they are complete Partzufim of Ibur, Yenika, Mochin, are these three lines and so if you can open up for us what is three lines and what’s it about?
R. No, no, I can’t steer from what we’re studying now.
S. Okay so let’s ask differently, so these vessels Moach, Lev, Kevved clothe in the NRN, what is that?
R. Moach, Lev, Kevved, are three parts within the complete body where HBD is the Moach, HGT is the Lev and NHY is the third part, the lower, the Kevved.
S. Why does he call it complete three vessels?
R. They are complete, they are whole because they clothe within one another.
S. Is that incorporation?
R. Clothing.
S. Are we supposed to attain it or it’s just something that comes?
R. We are supposed to attain every part.
S. And clothe them together?
R. See how they clothe and associate with that.
S. How all that happens, how do I attain it?
R. Let us study and we will see.
S. How can we attain what we study?
R. Try to pray that you are able to attain it.
3. S. (09:49) When it says that the light spread in all of the Guf from the Moach to the end of the Raglaim, so, why do the lights spread in the whole Guf, why doesn’t it stop at the Chazeh?
R. The Creator is interested to fill all the vessels with all the lights for it to be called Gmar Tikkun. So if there is another opportunity for a light to be clothed within a vessel, to equivalence of form, and of course it happens, this is the general law of all the vessels in all of reality. It even works in a corporeal way, where we see that biological life as much as it enters every place and wants to rule every single situation, it all comes from the light searching for itself all sorts of ways to correct and connect the vessels.
S. We cannot somehow measure and check that that is not a result of your mistake or if this is a part of the process, the expansion of the light?
R. Everything that happens happens correctly, as a result of our actions, preparations, from us. And of course we can improve our deeds, actions and see how we come to corrections, to reach correction in a good way. There’s two paths to reach the complete correction, that we are definitely going to come to, which is the path of Torah or the path of suffering, and Torah it means that we are waking MAN and receive the strength, forces, and fill the vessels with upper light. And the path of suffering is that we don’t do it or not in time or not in the right place, and then we are stuck or met with prodding, blows, suffering, and manifests in wars and all sorts of other problems and we reach correction in the long way.
S. Can man in this expansion of the light in all the Guf does he participate with it consciously or is it something that he goes through and he recognizes it?
R. We are in a period called the last generation where we can attain and receive knowledge and participate in the entire process, in this entire process of corrections, and this everyone can do, small and big and fools and smart, it doesn’t matter who you belong to, what nation, what people what period even in your personal life, private life. We are already in the last generation where everyone can participate.
S. So man cannot determine if this expansion is a correct thing, he’s not trying to limit i.
R. I do not understand what you were asking.
S. You said that a person participates in this consciously?
R. If he comes to it and if he doesn’t come to it, it’s not just that it’s every single one.
S. Meaning it’s clear to him that it is a correct thing the light goes all the way down to the Chazeh?
R. If a person recognizes and sees then he is already in corrections, yes.
4. S. (15:02) It is written that the Nefesh starts in the Kevved and spreads to the Raglaim. What does it mean that Nefesh spreads?
R. The light of Nefesh that comes from Chazeh until the Sium Raglaim. Like this, we have Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Nefesh is the lowest light and spreads to the lowest vessels, Ruach is the middle in the middle vessels and HBD, HGT, NHY and this is how we divide the Partzuf.
5. S. (16:12) It says when they clothe each other they are considered as one Guf, what is clothing and how do you describe that?
R. HBD, HGT, NHY of the vessels which are parts that on the one hand belong to the Partzuf and on the other hand are separate parts, and are corrected gradually, each one and one and this is how they clothe gradually in the Partzuf and cause the correction of the complete Partzuf HBD, HGT, NHY, the vessels start with HBD and then they go to HGT and then NHY.
S. We too need to be clothing each other in order to be as one body?
R. No, we first need to understand what is being spoken about, feel it, attain it, and then we will know how to ask these things.
Reading (17:41) #56 “This is by the order of their roots, that you know what all of Atzilut is like, that Bina, who is Neshama..” Twice
Reading (18:48) #57 “It follows that the expansion of the vessels of the marrow throughout the Guf are the tendons that are not hollow inside..” Twice
6. S. (20:47) What are those arteries?
R. How do I know, I’m not a surgeon.
S. I mean Baal HaSulam isn’t speaking about Anatomy here, he’s talking about spiritually structure?
R. Still a spiritual Partzuf is similar to an analogy to our body. So, we can use it somehow, to understand one another, maybe show certain actions.
7. S. (21:56) Are we seeing a description here of the Partzuf here that the AHP of the upper one is dressed in the Galgata of the lower one?
R. Yes, there are many connections and forms of this connection, here he explains it was such a special form of connection like in Physiology.
Reading (22:34) #58 “Thus we have explained how they are three vessels one inside the other, and are regarded as Ibur, Yenika, Mochin…” Twice
8. R. (24:21) This we will already learn in simple light in the next lesson okay.
