Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 208

How Is Our Vessel Structured After Crossing the Barrier?

If we cross the barrier, it means that we have entered the lowest spiritual degree, where 125 degrees still separate us from the Creator. These are 125 screens that conceal the Creator from us. In other words, we must correct ourselves, our qualities, 125 times.

At each degree where we exist, our “I” is a vessel composed of two parts:

1. 248 organs—parts, desires, in which we can perform correction, corresponding to Galgalta ve Eynaim.
2. 365 tendons—desires in which we cannot perform corrections, corresponding to AHP.

This is the entire spiritual vessel; it consists of ten Sefirot. At each degree, we must examine all of our desires, both above the Chazeh and below the Chazeh (“Chazeh” is the division between Galgalta ve Eynaim and AHP), and correct them.

When the totality of desires is corrected, we have completed that correction and acquire a screen. Then we are rewarded with a new filling, which means we have ascended to a new degree. At the new degree, we again have new desires of 248 organs and 365 tendons, and once again our relation to them is different from before, and again all the corrections are carried out.
