THE MOTHER LENDS HER CLOTHES
TO HER DAUGHTER

(Continuation)

It turns out that, as a result of the mother lowering her Kelim (properties)
ELEH to her daughter by intentionally assuming the properties (desires) of
Malchut instead of her own properties (desires), thereby entering the small state
and willingly diminishing herself, upon receiving the properties of Malchut
instead of properties of Bina, mother Bina adorned her daughter Malchut with
her adornments, meaning the Light that subsequently comes in the state of
Gadlut: the Light of Bina entered Malchut. This is described as “Malchut received
her adornments.”
There are two kinds of adornments that the daughter Malchut receives
from her mother Bina: the first is Ohr Hochma (Ohr Haya, the Light of GAR),
the Light of perfection, for it imparts the property of perfection to the Kli
that it is filling, the Light that Malchut receives from Ima (Supernal Mother),
who stands between Peh and Chazeh of Partzuf AA, above its Parsa. The second
adornment is Ohr Neshama, which still designates imperfection, as it is received
from the lower mother, Partzuf of Tvuna that stands between Chazeh and Tabur
de AA, below its Parsa.
Naturally, to receive either Light, Malchut must ascend to the corresponding
degree. In other words, she must change her properties so as to be able to receive,
to merit that Light.
When Malchut ascends to Tvuna and receives her adornments from Tvuna,
these adornments are still imperfect, for Malchut remains with a “question”
(without the Light of Hochma), as Tvuna was before the raising of MAN. This
means that to attain perfection, Malchut still needs to receive MAN from the
lower ones, called the “husbands of Israel.” In this state, the lower ones, called
the righteous or “the husbands of Israel,” receive the Light from ZA, which
ascended to YESHS = Israel-Saba.
However, when Malchut ascends another degree, to the place of the Supernal
Mother, Bina, above Chazeh de AA, and there receives her adornments from Ima
and not from Tvuna, then these adornments are perfect, for they contain Ohr
Haya; there is no more “question” in her, as she is considered a male, bestowing
Kli, and the husbands of Israel receive from her.
And all the husbands of Israel appear before her and receive the Light from
her. And Malchut is CALLED MASTER (Hebrew – Adon). The regular Malchut
is called by the Creator’s female name Adonay (mistress) or ADNI, whereas in
this state she is called by the male name Adon (master).
