Absolute Rest in Infinite Motion

Posted on October 9th, 2025 at 7:19 am

Question: Why is it said that light is at absolute rest if our entire path is accompanied by the light entering desire and exiting it?

Answer: The absolute rest of the upper light is its constant change with infinite frequency! The “unchangeability” of light means its rest, constancy in achieving a single goal, for it always performs only actions that lead to it. Its absolute rest lies in the fact that it does not change this goal, but acts toward it with infinite speed.

For us, rest means not getting entangled along the path, but striving in one direction and seeking for thousands of ways to advance there, keeping intensity and applying efforts. And all this is called absolute rest because I see a single goal before me.

Light enters into desire and exits it, and every moment its infinite number of actions take place. But if a person is in the quality of bestowal, then he feels all these various actions as eternal rest!

Different Lights

Posted on October 8th, 2025 at 8:51 pm

Question: How do the ten Igulim of the world of Adam Kadmon and the surrounding light (Ohr Makif) of the five Partzufim correlate? Is it the same thing?

Answer: No, they are different lights. There are many different lights: Yosher, Igulim, etc.
It all depends on where they are, how they are connected, and what they transmit to each other.

The Main Thing Is the Connection Between Kelim

Posted on October 8th, 2025 at 8:42 pm

Question: It is said in TES that circles connect to one another through the line. The circles themselves do not touch each other. Is there some kind of space between them?

Answer: Yes there is a space.

Question: What is that space for? What is in it?

Answer: For now, it is as if it is empty for us.

Question: What fills it later?

Answer: Nothing. The most important thing is the connection between the Kelim. We had Kelim de Igulim, Kelim de Yosher, and now Kelim de Igulim of a completely different kind.

Question: You said that the Igulim gain thickness and connect with Malchut. Does it mean that they fill that space through the Masach (screen), and then begin to touch each other?

Answer: The Igulim fill the void that remained after the Tzimtzum, and help the upper light fill the entire creation with its light, with its clothing.

Desires Before and After the Restriction

Posted on October 8th, 2025 at 8:37 pm

Question: Baal HaSulam introduces the concept of Reshimot in TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), which are the primary cause of all subsequent desires, both in the spiritual and even in the corporeal world. What is the difference between Reshimot and, say, a Sefira filled with Light?

Answer: A Sefira is a desire created by the Creator, striving to be filled with the light toward which it is directed.

Therefore, all the desires that existed at the very beginning of creation wish to be filled with the light that was originally within them. This is precisely the difference between the desires before the First Restriction (Tzimtzum Alef) and those after it.

Questions about Spiritual Work—262

Posted on October 8th, 2025 at 8:28 pm

Question: How should one correctly study TES?

Answer: We study The Study of the Ten Sefirot from the first page to the last. Perhaps we skip certain things, but in principle, that is how it goes. It is a textbook about the entire spiritual world.

Question: What is the difference between Kav and Yosher?

Answer: There is no difference between them. Kav is Yosher.

Question: Does the screen have some spiritual form, or is it a point of analysis?

Answer: Of course the screen has a spiritual form, because it clothes the desire, and in accordance with this the desire acquires direction.

Question: And what is the inner intention in order for there to be a screen?

Answer: The intention must be to carry out all the desires of the Creator.
