As I annul myself, my ego, the old “me” disappears. Instead I acquire the whole system that becomes mine. I don’t drown in the system, as if I cease to exist; instead I acquire everyone!

I begin to feel that everything in the system is my desires, my intentions, my life. I live this system, I kill my desire to receive and so I begin to feel the desire of the system, its mind, the force that operates it.

I can’t be under two authorities at the same time: I can either be under my dominion or under the dominion of the Creator; it is one of the two. So I have to raise my vessels from the worlds of BYA up to the connection with Malchut of Atzilut, up to the Shechina (Divinity).

The worlds of Beria, Yetzira, Assiya (BYA), are the desires of HBD, HGT, NHY that are under Parsa. First we raise our vessels from the world of Beria to Atzilut, then the desires from the world of Yetzira to Atzilut, and then from the world of Assiya to Atzilut. Accordingly, the states of Ibur (gestation), Yenika (suckling) and Mochin (mind) are formed in us.

Thus we raise ourselves to Malchut of Atzilut, rising in faith above reason. Everything that is external to me is separated from me by a barrier, by the Parsa, behind which there is the world of Atzilut. On this side of Parsa, there are the worlds of BYA that are called vessels of separation in which I feel my “self.” But in fact it isn’t me, it is the shattered vessels that were once connected and then fell and so they are depicted to me this way now.
