MALCHUT: MAIN READING OF THE WEEK – THE ZOHAR BOOK
Main Reading for PRAYER OF MANY, today with ENGLISH ZOHAR READING, page 141.
ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson
Letters are the Kelim, into which the Light clothes; in all, there are twentytwo
special properties, and thus twenty-two symbols of their description,
called letters. Just as the combinations of the twenty-two letters suffice for the
description of all existing knowledge, the various couplings, unions (Zivugim of
Sefirot) of the twenty-two Kelim, properties, desires of the Partzuf are sufficient
for receiving and bestowing Light, fulfilling all spiritual actions and bringing all
the letters (man’s desires) to correction.
Letters represent the various correlations of ZON:
a) ZA, consisting of six parts of his extremities, husband to Malchut,
designated by the letter Vav, Sefira Yesod—level of an embryo;
b) ZA designated by the letter Vav, Sefira Tifferet, consisting of six parts of
his hands—level of nursing;
c) ZA that stands between AVI, while Nukva must ascend to him, thereby
reaching the level of reception of Ohr Hochma.
d) ZA, the letter Vav, above him are ten Sefirot Keter-Hochma, below him
are ten Sefirot Bina-Tifferet-Malchut—and together they make up the
letter Aleph. And the final corrected state will come when Malchut
ascends to Keter of ZA (the Upper Yod in the letter Aleph) at the end
of correction. When Malchut ascends above Parsa (Vav), she receives
the Light herself, whereas when she descends below Vav, she receives
from ZA. As Malchut ascends, she forms Taamim (tone marks), when
she descends, she is called Nekuda (point), and when she merges with
ZA, she is referred to as a point inside Vav (Shuruk).
The order of ATBaSH: There is a special combination of letters, e.g. the
first with the last (‘A’ through ‘T’), the second with the second last (‘B’ through
‘Sh’), etc., which designate the conditions for diffusion of the Upper Light from
Above downwards.
MANTZEPACH: All the worlds and Partzufim were created with the
twenty-two letters of Malchut. The screen is located in the head of the Partzuf,
preventing the Light from entering. It repels the Light, calculates how much it
can receive for the Creator’s sake, and only then accepts it.
Each of the five levels of the will to receive that exist in Malchut, in the Guf
of the Partzuf, has a corresponding restriction in the screen, located in the Peh,
to prevent the Light from entering the body. Therefore, the screen in the Peh
consists of five parts, forces.
