Main Reading for PRAYER OF MANY, today with ENGLISH ZOHAR READING, page 135.

ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Zivug de Nekudot is the Zivug between Hochma de Aba and Hochma de Ima.
Zivug de Otiot is the Zivug between Bina de Aba and Bina de Ima.
The letters combined together designate Returning Light during the screen’s
ascent from Tabur to Peh. They are combined, for they all ascend to their root,
which unites everything, whereas the use of the will to receive, even for the
Creator’s sake, causes separation.
A state of separated letters occurs when the Light enters the Kli (vessel, the
letters of HaVaYaH); the four letters thereby separate, since the Light makes
a distinction between the Sefirot: depending on their different properties, it
clothes in them in different ways.
HaVaYaH with filling Aleph comes on a screen with Aviut Aleph (thickness
one), HaVaYaH with filling Hey comes on a screen with Aviut Bet (thickness
two). A plain name refers to Aviut Shoresh (zero thickness) with the Light of
Nefesh. Plain letters refer to a Partzuf with a screen of Aviut Aleph.
The truly faithful, who believe in the three fundamentals: the Creator, His
Providence and the Torah, need the two lines to be in constant balance for their
spiritual advancement. The left line is wisdom, the Light of Hochma that enters
the desire to receive, which pertains to the left side, and the right line is faith,
the Light of Hassadim (mercy), the altruistic desire to bestow.
Existing in knowledge only means that man is under the rule of the
impure forces (Klipa) of the left side, which renders him totally unable to
feel the spiritual, leaving him in spiritual darkness. Alternately, existing only
in faith means that man is under the rule of the impure forces (Klipa) of the
right side that convinces him that he has achieved perfection, that there is
nothing else to work on, nothing to correct within him. This, too, denies him
the opportunity to advance.
