ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson
The Zohar also calls it Tzadik Chai Olamim—the righteous, who revives the
worlds, for it thereby points to the Sefira Yesod, which gives the Light to Malchut.
The Sefira Yesod does not have a place to receive the Light for itself. Hence, it
lives (Chai) only to pass the Light to Malchut. This is why it is called Tzadik (the
righteous one), who revives the worlds (Chai Olamim).
Its other name, Rav Paalim (performing many actions) indicates that
it includes all the MAD of all the good deeds and all the degrees that were
revealed through the 6,000 years. This is because all these degrees are now being
revealed all at once in a cumulative, integrated Light, as they leave Yesod and
enter Malchut. And since Yesod now gathers all the Light that was emanated
during the 6,000 years into one, and passes it to Malchut, this action determines
its name—Rav Paalim.
- Rav Paalim is also Mekabtziel—the Exalted Tree, gathering and
performing many actions, Supreme Above all. Where did it come from?
From which degree did it originate? Once more, the source indicates—from
Mekabtziel, for it is an exalted and concealed degree that none has seen.
It includes everything, for it gathers all of the Upper Light within it, and
everything originates from it.
Malchut-Nukva is also named Mekabtziel, for she receives and gathers all the
Light from Yesod within herself. Hence, Yesod is called Rav Paalim. The degree
that emerges onto this Zivug is called the “Supreme and Exalted Tree” that
originated from Yesod and entered Malchut. The Zohar goes on to explain that to
show us the quality and the origin of this exalted degree, the name Mekabtziel
(gathering) is used; Yesod accumulates the Upper Light and passes it to Nukva.
And both Yesod and Malchut are called Mekabtziel.
And the degree that emerges onto this Zivug of Yesod and Malchut is called
“None but you has seen the Creator.” This degree emerges after the complete
correction has been achieved, at the moment of attachment of the final correction
that completes them all. Therefore, this degree is defined as all-inclusive, for it
collects all the Light over the full course of 6,000 years, and thereby manifests at
once in its true perfection. - All of the degrees gather in this Supernal, Sacred, and Concealed Hall,
where everything is concealed. All of the worlds are inside that hall. All the
holy forces are sustained and revived by it, and all are dependant on it.
