LESSON MATERIAL
110. A Field that the Lord Has Blessed
I heard, 1943
“A field that the Lord has blessed.” The Shechina [Divinity] is called “a field.” Sometimes, a Sadeh [field] becomes a Sheker [lie]. The Vav within the Hey is the soul, and the Dalet is the Shechina [Divinity]. When the soul is dressed in it, it is called Hey, and when one wants to add to the faith, he extends the Vav below and it becomes a Kof.
At that time, the Dalet becomes Reish, in the form of poor and meager, who wants to add. Then it becomes Reish, by way of “A poor was born in his kingdom,” when the meager has become poor. In other words, by inserting the evil eye into himself in both mind and heart, by way of “The boar from the wood will gnaw on it,” the eye is hung since it returns to the leftovers, that the Sitra Achra [other side] is destined to be a holy angel.
This is the meaning of “May the glory of the Lord be forever.” Because he has come to a state of the animal of the Yaar [forest], from the word Iro [his town], it means that all of his vitality has been poured out, yet he constantly grows stronger, then he is awarded the state of “a field which the Lord has blessed,” when the evil eye has become a good eye.
This is the meaning of “a hanging eye,” meaning it hangs on a doubt, whether with a good eye or with an evil eye. And this is the meaning of returning to leftovers, and this is the meaning of “one, to receive one,” as our sages said, “There was no joy before Him as on the day when heaven and earth were created.” This is so because at last, the “Lord will be One and His name One,” which is the purpose of creation.
But for the Creator, past and present are the same. Hence, the Creator observes creation in its final shape, as it will be at Gmar Tikkun [the end of correction], when all the souls in their complete perfection are included in the world Ein Sof, as it will be at Gmar Tikkun. Their perfect form is already there, and nothing is missing.
But with the receivers it is apparent that they still need to complete what they must complete. This is, “which God has created to do,” meaning the deficiencies and the petulance. This is the meaning of what our sages said, “the petulant yields nothing but petulance,” and also, “All who are gluttonous are angry.”
This is the true form of the will to receive in its true form, as obscene as it is. And all the corrections are to turn it in order to bestow, which is all the work of the lower ones. Before the world was created, it was in the form of “He is one and His name One.” This means that even though His name has already departed from the He, and has become revealed and is already called “His Name,” He is still one. This is the meaning of “one, to receive one.”
