Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, item 140

Part 2:

Baal HaSulam. Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah. (#141)

Reading Item #140 (00:16 – 01:55) 

Reading Item #141 (02:03 – 05:04)

1. S. (05:07) It is reading that “by raising MAN from the lower ones they complete the second type of the ten Sefirot”, what is that second type?

R. This is what he explains, you should simply read.

2. S. (05:44) Who are the lower ones that raise that MAN?

R. I would say the souls of the righteous.

S. So this process of raising MAN is only done by righteous souls, in the system itself, there is no process?

R. No, the system itself does not change once it was created, what happens is that only the souls rise and descend according to their actions.

S. What good deed can we do in the ten?

R. Connection, and accordingly rising to the upper one, joining the upper one.

S. And the way learned that in the Introduction to TES he says that when we learn about these names we awaken the surrounding lights?

R. Yes?

S. And about the previous lesson, how can we use this as our future, what we’re learning now?

R. Ask again?

S. How can we use what we’re learning as our future, that we are aspiring towards, because it’s something very exalted and far?

R. It doesn’t matter, we understand it or not, we’re already in a connection with these degrees. 

3. S. (07:39) He writes that after they ascend, the five Partzufim of Atzilut clothe and neutralize in the five Partzufim of AK?

R. Yes?

S. There’s no gap?

R. You can see that in the Book of the Tree.

S. But isn’t there a gap between them, after that ascent of the MAN?

R. What is the gap, one clothes on the other as usual, the lower one closes on the upper one and by that it becomes like it.

S. Because still, this is in AK and this is Atzilut, so how, there’s like an equivalence, is it full equivalence, is it only towards Atzilut?

R. That’s something we’ll learn, we need to learn this, in Mochin of the 6,000 years, we will learn that. 

Reading Item #142 (08:48 – 12:11) “Yet, with respect to ZON of Atzilut …” Twice.

Reading Item #143 (12:12 -15:40 ) “Thus we have explained that the Mochin …”

R. Clear, meaning until the end of Correction so the final coupling, all the corrections cause the ascent of the world and in such a way, they complete more and more and more, but in the end of Correction, from all of those ascents, there is a descent, and then it all comes back to their place, all the lights enter their vessels, not in an ascent. 

4. S. (16:22) I thought this item summarized this whole chapter, maybe we can read it again slowly and explain it in a way that we will have the picture of what we want to have the first descent and second ascent.

R. I think that when we are done, we don’t have a lot left until we finish all of the Preface, and then we can repeat it; that’s what I think but maybe we could also do it that way? 

5. S. (17:33) The purpose of the reception of light in the second kind is to avoid the shattering that was in Nekudim?

R. Yes.

7. S. (17:53) But one forty-one he says that, he basically complements the ten Sefirot in their place, there is the second kind of completion, here he’s talking about the final correction already?

R. No, it’s still the second kind of completion, it’s still an ascent.

S. So what is this process when he says that?

R. It can happen either through the lower one or through the degree itself, or when they all ascend then is AHP of a descent for all of them.

S. So it’s a different process already, it’s not part of the first or second kind?

R. No, we will learn that soon in a hundred forty-five.
