Reading Introduction to The Book of Zohar. #39
1. R. (03:06) This is clear how he’s telling this to us that still, vegetative, animate only the speaking is building in such a way that it has to rise above all the degrees until it reaches to the degree of the Creator himself.
Reading item number 40 (03:25) “And I know that it’s completely unacceptable..”
2. R. (06:50) Meaning the fact that we don’t see all the lights that have to reach us and fill us then of course this prevents us from being grateful and expressing gratitude to the Creator and try more and more to come closer to him, this is on one hand and on the other hand does not stop us but helps us the first of all to acquire the force of bestowal Tzimtzum, Masach, Ohr Hozer Restriction Screen and the Returning Light all the efforts to bestow to the Creator and only then receive from her that very revelation of the upper light of the Creator himself so that we will receive it in order to bestow. This is why we need to try and acquire a Masach Screen engage in Corrections until we are able to perform a mutual reception and bestow we to the Creator and the Creator to us.
3. S. (8:12) He says that those who are immersed in their will to receive and try to take the spice of the Torah and Mitzvot even the philosophers do not believe this and they turn into something that it is difficult to believe that there’s such a thing. So, how do you overcome that the whole world believes it is hard to believe that through Torah and Mitzvot you can reach what he writes about the will to receive in order to bestow, it sounds like a fantasy so how can we convince people?
R. I do not know; I do not study to convince someone. I am teaching people who want to hear and however they receive it that I do not know. This is how it is.
4. S. (9:27) What does it mean to feel the other?
R. Feeling the other is to feel also what exists in the heart of the friend.
S. So what is the radish? am I the radish or what is around me?
R. The radish is the entire world it is like a radish and somehow we want to exit it gradually, gradually we come out and as we pull ahead out of the radish we see the sun and the sky and all the beauty in creation.
S. In that radish there is only the human species all over all of the creation in it?
R. In the radish there is the entire creation.
S. So, what separates between man or the animated that can also feel the other?
R. The person has an opportunity to raise to the level of speaking.
S. It’s clear in my mind but how do I go through it? How do it with the friends that I can say here now I am opening the reddish?
R. If you want to acquire this degree than you work with the friends.
S. But each one is in his own radish?
R. You study with them work with them connect with them to invite upon you the light that reforms and this is how you discover that you are inside the reddish and how to come out.
S. From the radish we come out together or each one in his own?
R. With Mutual help.
5. S. (11:26) I did not understand it says that after you have the preparation to feel the others, what is the preparation?
R. Preparation from above from the side of the Creator.
Reading #41 (12:00) “But there still remains to clarify why man needs all the upper worlds…”
Reading #42 (14:51) “We have not explained the five worlds that include the entire spiritual..”
6. S. (18:26) What does it mean that the souls of people are clothed in KHBTM?
R. All the Sefirot of the still vegetative inanimate and speaking are clothed in this way one on top of the other to clothe means to be beneficial to help to grow to exist.
S. How to explain to the average let’s say beginner what is the Ten Sefirot?
R. You can’t explain, you can’t the Ten Sefirot rather forces of the nature that act upon us and balance the entire and shape the entire reality, that is. More than that you will not be able to explain, it is the force of the creator that descend up on us gradually and arranges us in such a way that we would be able to receive his bestow that is arranged according to the Ten Sefirot and develop according to the Sefirot until we reach the highest Sefira.
S. How does a person when he enters the study and in contact with these forces? how does he use this Force?
R. This turns to be his force, just like right now you are using your emotions your reason whatever you have in addition you will be able to use all of these forces that you receive in the upper degrees.
S. He receives it as something external he didn’t have the force of the Creator and now it is something that he acquires that came to him?
R. Yes
S. What is it given him? It gives him motivation?
R. It gives him everything forces feelings Minds understanding feeling seeing back and into the future everything like with us when we grow we develop we expand our field of view, that is how it happens here too. Just that we do it in a more tangible way above time and motion place.
7. S. (22:01) So everything depends on the correction of the soul of a person, and everything correct according along with it. Is the soul a person is the most internal part?
R. The person’s soul is the most internal part in all of creation.
8. S. (22:32) In the beginning when we started to read the book of Zohar we talked about the role of the letters in the creation, is there a relationship between Ten Sefirot and the forces representing in the Ten Sefirot and the letters.
R. Of Course. The letters give us all the laws we have in the Ten Sefirot . The letters are symbols that in this way they give us all the wisdom there is, in writing or in print or in speaking or in everything, it all comes from the letter.
9. S. (23:40) According to the worlds in one end we study the difference between the world is in the degree of the revelation of the Creator to a person on each degree then we learned that the worlds are an impression of one another and there are processes that are unique to it. So, how is it possible that each world has something unique?
R. The extent of the light of Hochma and the light of Hassadim is a unique and every world and it determines the form in every world but the structure of the world itself is a structure that is same in all of them.
10. S. (24:34) I have a question that is little general more general on the topic of the connection. When we say that the light feels like a Kli the vessel, I want to ask because I am not understanding in general how can I sense feel something doesn’t matter what? Even trying to feel to think of examples in our world there is not something that feels something. There’s an atom another and that they can be in certain connection, but I do not understand how one thing feel another thing and how a connection can come up between two forces?
R. I do not understand you.
S. How does the will to receive feel the Creator? We say that everything is in the will to receive that is receiving a certain form, how does it happen? Where does the information come from?
R. It is activated by the upper light and it has nothing but the upper light which is activating it. That’s why it only feels the Creator that will to receive, and it’s adhered to the Creator and isn’t separated from him but what happens to us is that we feel the force that disconnects us from the Creator, called the will to receive and that is what we want to annul.
11. S. (26:56) I wanted to ask in such a way it says that they are servant one another and I want to ask, what do we turn the Angels into serving that we are serving them?
R. Angels are the forces of nature simply and we can activate him like any other force of nature. You see what he says here that you have the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking. The root is against the Keter, the speaking against Hochma, animate against Bina, vegetative against Tifferet, and the still against Malchut. And in this way we activate them and by this we will come closer and discover and feel this picture what they are drawing in us in our will to receive upon our will to receive, How they depict this form of reality.
S. But then we do not need to know the names to be able to distinguish between that and this or this is the way of a prayer?
R. No, not through prayer. We simply need to study until these things are revealed in our emotions only in the desire.
12. S. (29:07) What is the relationship between the Sefirot and the worlds?
R. The Sefirot and the worlds are the degrees of the light bestowing up on us.
13. S. (29:35) There are several days now that I am in this doubt, are there different souls in accordance to the degrees that we attain and when we attain the highest degree then we arrive only to the single soul that is the soul of Adam?
R. Yes, yes.
14. S. (30:15) How can we explain what is the upper worlds according to what’s write here?
R. You cannot explain it, you cannot.
S. What activates the upper Worlds? The corporate worlds or the spiritual worlds, who activates who?
R. I cannot explain it, we need to reach a state that we feel it.
S. There are Reshimot we learn that Reshimot comes from the upper world, Right? So basically they are activating the Corporal world?
R. No but some of them also activate Corporality.
S. So basically everything depends on the person he needs to activate?
R. Yes only
S. A person, how does he activate the spiritual world?
R. By connecting between us and wanting to attain them together.
15. S. (31:20) There’s such a question exists that Baal HaSulam writes about the radish that I live in my radish and I don’t know feel anything other than myself the upper worlds and everything else. I can be grateful for the Creator only for what I feel and what is revealed before me clearly. So, I want to ask if I express gratitude to the Creator for everything that he does for me and for my friends and for the whole world that which I do not see and do not feel but believe that certainly he does it will that can that give something to the advancement and specifically in connection?
R. If you want it, yes.
S. Meaning I can be grateful for that which I do not see and feel?
R. It is not important that you do not see or feel most important is the main thing is that you want to attain it if you want to attain it, it works on the upper force and he organizes all of this for you.
16. S. (33:06) It is written in letter forty-two that the vegetative is called a dressing, what are the dressing the clothing?
R. What are the clothing, just the way I am not cloth in this clothing, it is the same thing with those clothing when we have to dress something on our soul.
S. It is not clear what it is?
R. It is not clear but you hear just like you are wearing something now so also there is a soul that you have to attain a dressing up on it, that’s it.
17. S. (34:03) Is a Sefira a certain degree of perception of reality?
R. Yes, a Sefira is a certain perception of reality.
18. S. (34:21) What does it mean to feel the heart of the friend?
R. To feel the heart of the friend is to feel him in himself in man in myself if I feel him if I feel his heartbeats where he is directed towards and what he wants in his life and that between us there will be in connection to such an extent that as much as his heartbeats in this way I feel that it beats in me.
19. S. (35:16) Is it possible to say that the action of connection in the group will help our friends to work together in the study of Kabbalah in order to come closer to the quality of bestow and love covers all crimes, is this to feel the heart of the friend?
R. Yes of course
Reading #43 (35:45) “When man is born, he immediately has..”
20. R. (35:59) When he is born spiritually otherwise he’s just a beast.
Continue reading #43 (36:10)
21. R. () so spiritual point in a person is if he enters the spiritual process
Continue reading #43
22. R. (36:53) We call it the point in the heart.
Continue reading #43
23. S. (39:30) What are the four parts of the desire to receive of the will to receive that through which he comes to Nefesh of Kedusha?
R. When he reaches his Nefesh of Kedusha he lights his soul with the lights of afterwards he raises with his Working Connection to the degree Ruach and with the light of Ruach fills all the five parts of the wheel to receive a name and reaches the Ruach and so on
24. S. () do I need to separate in me this for desires do I use somehow use the steel oh and this is the or is this a general process in which I use the design shifting it from reception in order to receive to reception or to give what does it give me that I know these four steps
R. the fact that you know this does not give you anything but when you attain these stages and you feel that they are stabilizing in you so that’s points to your spiritual degree to the correction of yourself but if you just know about them without recognizing this without determining these disagree so it means nothing
S. but this is this exists in the tent it’s not just in my feeling it exists in the tent so how do we use it
R. it is not feelings and it’s not attainment it is just speaking
25. S. () I didn’t understand that the law that in which each degree there is the five levels in the speaking of men it is clear that it contains in within the previous how do you explain it in all the previous worlds
R. what is the power problem in each part you have all the other private and here we are not saying that it’s not the vegetative or the animate here he speaks about that each one includes all parts of Creation in him the question is to what extent of the light is in all of those parts
S. the vegetative degree is determined in a way that it filters how much light it received and the animate and more than that the speak is a higher level of religion
R, yes that is how it is all in all every degree according to the forces in it how that is how it can receive the light reject the light an organized it inside
26. S. (43:49) We see that the Malchut is at the degree of the still, we do not have many options. Is this why only through the prayer we can rise to the next degree?
R. Yes, only through prayer. All corrections all changes on our behalf are only through prayer, through our requests.
27. S. (44:39) Do we need to feel in the ten all the degrees, the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking? Can we determine on which degree we are as a ten?
R. If you can connect between you as strong as you can and ask the Creator to appear between you, inside of you, then you will feel the state you are in because everything is measured according to the connection between all parts and as much as the Creator fills them. Is that clear to everybody? That is how we measure our degrees, our states, as much as we can connect between us to that extent the upper light can fill us.
28. S. (46:21) You said that as a person is born spiritually he is born with Nefesh de Kedusha but it is written that Nefesh de Kedusha is in a degree of the posterior and it is very small, and it turns into a dot, it turns into that because we call it a point in the heart and it is the posterior even though it has the spark of divinity.
R. If there is a spark of divinity in there, yes otherwise there would not be anything that would hold the vessels together.
29. R. (47:20) I would ask you, why today are you so sleepy? What’s up? Moshe you don’t know. [turning to the reader]
S. I think everybody here is pretty awake.
R. Everybody’s awake? Okay.
30. S. (47:49) Will we not discover a speaking level in this realm, in this world that we are in?
R. The speaking degree can only be revealed in humans when they connection between them in the most exalted point. We have to reach such a connection and between us a speaking degree will be revealed where the Creator is connected in to, and we will raise Him above our degree as much as we unite.
31. S. (49:02) If I come to Unity day without an impression, like this heaviness that we’re speaking of, but I come but of some obligation that I have for the ten. Is that not damaging?
R. It is even more important than if I’m coming with all of my good will.
S. Meaning that I have to be inspired?
R. Yes.
S. There are three days left. How can someone awaken himself into inspiration?
R. There’s no question about it. How not to come to a gathering where I can discover my connection with all the other friends and in connecting with them I’m filled with the upper light even if I do not feel it. Maybe I was once in such meetings and I didn’t feel that I’m being filled and here I am expecting and hoping to be filled with the upper light.
S. How do we really awaken this feeling of breathing life back to be with the hope.
R. As much as I feel that I don’t want it I should be happier and as much as I overcome myself and still come to this gathering and still connect with the others so I have more of the force of overcoming and then I can attain of the upper illumination that establishes me spiritually.
32. S. (51:02) We are here PT are very excited about the unity we’re going to have on Sunday in which all of the Israeli vessel is going to arrive physically and all of our friends in the world Kli they are going to connect virtually to the very special connection and we are going to feel ourselves as one group with one heart and despite the songs and the theater and the meal this is a huge opportunity to connect to a next degree and we hope we can be together with the Rav in this event.
R. Of course.
S. Of course, the Rav is going to be with us so even more.
R. Prepare a place and I will come no problem.
S. There is always room for the Rav.
R. Okay.
S. It’s excellent that we have a conversation with the Rav and the friends here will add to their excitement about this special event.
R. I’m with you and I hope that we will even more connect and even more we’ll go quickly and intensively in that hug in a compression that we’ll go through this current state and advance in such a way. We are standing before great, great revelations, good luck to you all, all the best.
