“If a Woman Inseminates First, She Delivers a Male Child”
It is written: This is the meaning of the words “Malchut is filled with the Hassadim of the male from the right side.” By this we can interpret “If a woman inseminates first, she delivers a male child,” meaning that the awakening came from the person (Rabash,”What Is, ‘If a Woman Inseminates First, She Delivers a Male Child,’ in the Work?”).
The Hisaron (deficiency) awakened in a person from the point in the heart is felt within him as a desire that is still not correctly directed. In other words, it is simply a desire to attain the entire future world or what I imagine the future world to be. Such a desire is not yet truly called “a woman.”
In Rabash’s article, “What is, ‘If a Woman Inseminates First, She Delivers a Male Child,’ in the Work?,” the terms “male child,” “man” (Zachar), and “female child,” woman (Nekeva) refer to spiritual states.
From this, it becomes clear that a Hisaron for the forces of bestowal, for the intention for the sake of bestowal, is called “a woman” (Nekeva).
When this Hisaron (this woman) truly demands vessels of bestowal, forces of bestowal, from the Creator, this is called “a woman who inseminates first.” That is, she insists on receiving vessels of bestowal. As a result of this request, “a woman who inseminates first” ultimately gives birth to a male (Zachar). The person truly receives the vessels of bestowal they ask for and that cannot come without the prayer preceding them.
Rabash writes that in order to acquire true vessels of bestowal, one must raise a prayer for society, a prayer for the friend. This is precisely how vessels of bestowal are tested within us. A correct Hisaron is felt in a person as a deficiency directed toward something outside his body (egoism). Only this is considered a genuine prayer and not what existed before. That is, a prayer is only a request for true vessels of bestowal.
Then, since the awakening toward the desire to bestow comes from the side of the person, we say that “a woman who inseminates first gives birth to a male.” From the fact that a person himself longs to acquire vessels of bestowal, the Creator comes toward him and gives him the strength to bestow. This is similar to our path from below upward: first, we must enter Malchut in order to absorb its desire to resemble the root phase (Keter), to become bestowing. And by acquiring the forces needed to become bestowing, we rise to the degree of Keter, the Creator. Malchut ascends to Keter.
The first impulse toward spirituality is given to us by the Creator Himself, but the second awakening must come from the side of the person, and then he will attain spirituality.
