YESOD: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

THE DEPTH OF WISDOM IN THE HOLY BOOK OF ZOHAR

The depth of wisdom in the holy Book of Zohar
is enclosed and caged behind a thousand
locks, and our human tongue too poor to
provide us with sufficient, reliable expressions
to interpret one thing in this book to its end.
Also, the interpretation I have made is but a
ladder to help the examiner rise to the height
of the matters and examine the words of the
book itself. Hence, I have found it necessary
to prepare the reader and give him a route and
an inlet in reliable definitions concerning how
one should contemplate and study the book.
Baal HaSulam, “Preface to the Book of Zohar,” Item 1
There is a strict condition during the engagement
in this wisdom – to not materialize the
matters with imaginary and corporeal issues.
This is because thus they breach, “Thou shalt
not make unto thee a graven image, nor any
manner of likeness.”
In that event, one is rather harmed instead
of receiving benefit. Therefore, our sages
cautioned to study the wisdom only after
forty years, or from a Rav, and other such cautions.
All of that is for the above reason.
To rescue the readers from any materialization,
I compose the book Talmud Eser Sefirot
(The Study of the Ten Sefirot) by the Ari.

-Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Item 156, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.
