Where Is the Upper Light?

599.02Question: Where is the upper light?

Answer: The Kli is filled with the light of Hassadim (love and mercy), the power of bestowal, which holds within itself the light of Hochma (wisdom).

The upper light is the light of Hochma clothed in the light of Hassadim. This light acts constantly.
We are always addressing the Malchut of the world of infinity because that is the only state that exists.

The substance of the Malchut of Infinity is the desire to receive pleasure. The creation gives this desire an intention “for the sake of bestowal.”

Then, into this intention of bestowal that comes from the creation, the upper light from the Creator clothes itself.

Thus, the love of the Creator and the love of the creation are revealed together within our desire, and this state is called the world of infinity.

This state already exists; we only need to make efforts to reveal it!

And it cannot be done individually but only through our collective effort, when all spiritual sparks, all points in the heart unite together.

Our shared effort awakens that light that fills the world of infinity and draws it toward us as the surrounding light that shines from afar.

Under its illumination, we become similar to the Malchut of the world of infinity.

Sefirot of Igulim

548.02The Sefirot of circles precede and are much more important than the Sefirot in the line, since there is no screen in the circles (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Vol. 1, Part 2 Chapter 1, 90).

Question: In the interaction between the Sefirot de Igulim and the Sefirot de Yosher in the world of Adam Kadmon, where do the Sefirot of Igulim come from? After all, it is already a world completely operating with a screen.

Answer: No, not yet completely. The Sefirot of Igulim emerge first because they are directly connected to the source of light. The light affects them, and they acquire the properties and form of light.

Igulim (circles) exist primordially because they are a property of light. Therefore, we cannot study Kav (straight lines) unless we study Igulim.

Igulim are the light that emanates from the ten Sefirot de Igulim. If the Kelim de Yosher are not present during their expansion, this light remains unchanged, enters the Sefirot de Igulim, and fills them.

A Step-By-Step Process

936Question: Is the perfect collective prayer achieved as a simultaneous outcry of all friends’ hearts, or is it a step-by-step process?

Answer: The collective prayer is a step-by-step process. After all, we do not know what the true work of each group, each ten, or each individual consists of. Therefore, we must make every possible effort in choosing the goal and in striving to attain it.

938.03Question: Does a person feel the Creator’s response within the Kli of the ten or within the global Kli?

Answer: Generally, within the ten.

Question: But you said that the gates of sensing the Creator open precisely in the common heart of the global Kli. How can we correctly feel this from within the ten?

Answer: For that, you must draw closer to the friends in all the groups, in all the tens, to feel what state they are in, to try to be together with them, and to sense the barrier that stands in their way toward connection among them and adhesion with the Creator.

All of this gradually becomes organized within you. It already exists and is being revealed more and more, but you must keep striving.

238.01Comment: I see that many friends are internally unprepared for the convention since each still feels only himself. We are in a state where we can’t even understand where we are.

My Response: That means your task is to tune yourselves toward connection among you, no matter what!

From this, you will be ready for the convention. I assure you. But you must do it right now! Try to correct all of this, unite together into one great group, and everything will work out for you.

From Root to Consequence

548.03Question: Baal HaSulam writes that full revelation of the ten Sefirot occurred in the world of Atzilut. But revelation of the ten Sefirot also took place above, for example, in the world of Adam Kadmon. So why does he speak of their revelation only beginning from the world of Atzilut?

Answer: Because before that there was no concept of worlds at all.

The world of Adam Kadmon is merely roots that have not yet become defined or distanced from one another. Therefore, we cannot speak about actions taking place above the world of Atzilut.

Question: But a large portion of Talmud Eser Sefirot is devoted to describing the world of Adam Kadmon. How do the Kabbalists describe it?

Answer: To the extent that Kabbalists can reveal the spiritual world for themselves and convey it to others who are not yet on their level that is how they describe it.

Kabbalah is studied from the root to consequence.

530Question: How should the ten correctly build the Kli in order to draw the light of the ten Sefirot?

Answer: We study this in the course of practical work. By coming closer and integrating into one another, we must try to rise together.

In this way, each time we will attain higher and higher roots, ascending ever upward.
