Attain the Elusive Perfection of the Creator

Posted on November 2nd, 2025

The fourth phase of desire, “Behina Dalet,” is the creation and is the most distant from the Creator in its properties. At the same time, it is the closest to Him in its ability to attain Him.

The other phases are impossible to evaluate at all relative to attainment because there is no reflected light within them. It appears only in the case when Behina Dalet works with them.

Let’s say with my egoism, the desire to receive pleasure, I become inspired by some melody, painting, or story. These pieces of art themselves have no feeling or attitude whatsoever. However, when I tune into them with my egoism, I give them feelings and through them I attain the Creator. They alone do not have this, and this is the concept of the first nine Sefirot.

The first nine Sefirot are the properties that in connection with my egoism help me reveal the properties of the Creator that He manifests in relation to me, to my perception.

The difficulty of the perception of the Creator is that He acts “in circles” (without any limitations), while the creation has to respond to Him “in a straight line,” meaning with the screen that limits egoism. However, when we rise by faith above reason from rung to rung every time, then this ascent becomes continuous, analog, integral. Once we complete our ascent, we perceive it in a discrete way, as a specific rung.

We do reveal something from the “circles,” from the Creator’s perfection by means that we rise by faith above reason. Faith above reason allows us to approach the maximum degree from the “straight line” of creation to the “circular perfection” of the Creator.

The force of unity comes to us from the light that is eternal. And so by achieving some measure of the property of bestowal through the light, the force of the “circular perfection,” where all are equal, we thus form within ourselves desires that are close to the circle, to the Creator. However, they are formed within us through our “straight line.”

We gradually attain the circle through the straight line, but there always remains some elusive additional element that we lack. It is like when we calculate a mathematical integral, we divide the area into a multitude of rectangles approaching the curve, but there always remains an uncaptured remainder.

A Glass for Someone Who Is Thirsty for Water

Posted on November 2nd, 2025

There is no screen in the circles that can raise reflected light. Without it the emanated being cannot connect with the upper light. We learned there that the vessel of the line is called a “pipeline…”

Although the vessels of the circles are much higher than the line, they do not receive any light by themselves. Instead, they must receive all the light in them through that line, which is much lower than them… (Baal HaSulam “Study of the Ten Sefirot” Vol. 1, Part 2, Chapter 1, Items 3 and 30).

In Malchut of the world of infinity, everyone could receive as much as they desired. There was no desire within you for which the light did not have a perfectly fitting fulfillment. But after the restriction, a limitation arose: only those desires that possess a screen can be fulfilled, and only to the extent of that screen, through the “line,” that is, via the screen.

All other desires, the so-called “circular desires,” receive only a faint illumination from the line. The line fills them because, although they lack a screen, they are still under the restriction.

Therefore, the desires within the “line” operate actively: they draw the light, fill the line, and through this line, they fill the “circular desires.” The circular desires do not wish to receive egoistically; they simply cannot draw the light for the sake of bestowal. As a result, they receive a slight illumination—called “Nefesh.”

The circular desires are vast; they encompass all the desires of the world of infinity. But after the restriction, they can only receive illumination through a “very thin line.” The light of the line is so small compared to the light that once existed in the circular desires, relative to their capacity, that it is like trying to fill a giant swimming pool with a single cup of water.

Nevertheless, this provides them with some vital energy. On the other hand, receiving such illumination makes them more sensitive and awakens deeper inner desires. That is, this light does not fulfill the desires, but rather stimulates a yearning for fulfillment within them within them.

And this is how we operate until the very end of correction. As soon as I correct a desire, perform a Zivug, and fill myself, I immediately create a place for a descent. We always work to move forward and then fall, work again and rise and fall again. This is how progress unfolds.

Questions about Spiritual Work—268

Posted on November 2nd, 2025

Question: How can we feel the inner light between us?

Answer: We cannot yet feel the light between us. First we need to learn how to do several actions: how to raise ourselves to a single Kli where we can ascertain ourselves, feel each other, and perform actions in the general Partzuf.

Question: It is written in The Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES), Before the Akudim, meaning in the Malchut of the Rosh, there could not be any limitation there because when Malchut limits and raises reflected light in the ten Sefirot of the Rosh, this limitation is actual bestowal.

What is this limitation that is the actual bestowal?

Answer: The fact is that Malchut does not receive light. Its entire job is to push away the upper light with its efforts and clothe itself in it.

Question: Because of the discrepancy between human characteristics and the upper light, creation feels shame, and it seems this process is not in man’s hands. How can we prevent this and allow the light to close the circle?

Answer: This is still ahead of us. We cannot do these actions, so I do not even explain them. Later, they will manifest themselves, and you will identify them from our studies.

The Round Perfection of the Upper

Posted on November 1st, 2025

All the light of the Sefirot of the circles is given to them through the line (Baal HaSulam “Study of the Ten Sefirot”).

Each time the line diminishes the intensity of the upper light that existed in the world of infinity, to the extent that the Partzuf is capable of receiving it. This light remains within the line, and by it the spheres are filled.

I work in the form of a line, meaning, I act only to the extent that I am presently able to work for the sake of bestowal, having carefully weighed and measured it. The boundaries of my line are defined by this measure.

The Creator stands before me with His infinite desire and readiness to bestow upon me, but I look to see how much I am able to fulfill His desire. He wants to bring me to adhesion (Dvekut) with Him, to fill me with all His lights, to delight me infinitely. Yet I can fulfill His desire only within the limits of my line, therefore it is said that the line fills the sphere with light.

Each time, new lines and new spheres appear. For every time I perform an act for the sake of bestowal, I begin to understand and feel the Creator more deeply. Thus, each time the spheres are filled from a new line (Galgalta, AB, SAG…), as though I am giving birth to these spheres within myself. For through the success that I have achieved in my “direct” desires, working with the Masach (screen), I now perceive the Creator, His attitude anew, and am prepared for a different kind of connection with Him.

The Igulim and Yosher (circular and straight vessels, desires) that I now receive are not simply given to me from above; rather, they are born as a result of my own efforts. I reveal the Creator in a circular, perfect, and unlimited form, while I myself am like a straight line, and we begin to bestow upon one another.

I receive connection with the upper sphere (Igul Elyon), which is my Keter. It was created by the straight line of the upper one. But I perceive the upper not as a line or within any boundaries, but as round. For He is so great compared to me that to me He seems boundless, like a circle! Thus, I depict Him for myself and work accordingly.

In this way, Malchut of the upper connects with Keter of the lower through the circular sphere. It is like an embryo within a round womb, the closed letter “Mem” or the circular letter “Samech”.

All of this shows that we unite and connect through the circular spheres. Therefore, I must regard my friends in the group as the greatest people of the generation, of infinite height. The upper one is always round perfection for me.

Questions about Spiritual Work—267

Posted on November 1st, 2025

Question: We say that Akudim means connected. That is, when the properties are connected correctly, they form the correct Kli. Can we also say that we need to connect properly in our ascent from the bottom up?

Answer: Naturally.

Question: And then will a person in the unity of the ten reveal all these properties in the likeness of the Creator?

Answer: Yes, in the connection between us, we will reveal the correct form of the Kli.

Question: Why is the order of ten within a single Kli determined relative to Behina Dalet, rather than Behina Aleph, Bet, or Gimel, as a local criterion? That is, why is the determining axis tied to the root of the recipient, and not to the intermediate states?

Answer: What else can it be tied to? The most important thing is Malchut. If there is no Malchut, there is no Kli. Malchut is the desire to receive in the Kli, and it is the only one that determines what kind of Kli it is, the type and power of the Kli. All this is determined only by Malchut.

Question: Why did the breakage of the Kelim take place in the world of Nekudim, and not in Akudim?

Answer: In Akudim, all the Sefirot are, as it were, united into a single Kli, a single Zivug, a single dissemination of light. Therefore there is no reason for division. In the world of Nekudim, however, there is already a difference between the light and the Kli that receives it. That is why there is division in the world of Nekudim.

The Seed That Entrusts Itself to the Good Soil

Posted on November 1st, 2025

Question: What actions can help one be freed from thoughts about oneself?

Answer: The only action that can truly separate me from thoughts of myself is incorporation into the group. I must do everything in my power until I reveal the inner force of the environment that I have attached myself to; until then, nothing else will help.

At first I perceive the environment as if I were a seed that has fallen into dry sand. But then I begin to see that this is soil that contains certain minerals and moisture that can nourish my growth. This “moisture” is the quality that can soften my egoism so that I begin to desire the attribute of bestowal. And the “minerals” are the light of Hochma, which can provide nourishment for my development. In this way, I begin to receive the lights of Hassadim and Hochma from the environment and grow to the extent that I annul myself before it.

Then I already understand that annulling myself before the environment is a beneficial and correct decision egoistically. For now, it comes from my egoism. I have no intention yet to bestow selflessly. I want to annul myself before them in order to be nourished by their environment and grow. If growth is possible only through bestowal, then I am ready to think about bestowal. But for the time being, it is still a calculation for my own benefit.

I want to acquire the quality of bestowal and become a giver. This is a special kind of egoism; one that leads toward the spiritual world. We will have to change such vestments many times on the way until we reach true bestowal without any calculation for ourselves. In the meantime, we do not know what that is. Only the light that reforms can give us this shape. And along the way we will change many more forms, which are each more cunning and egoistic than the last and which are all opposite to the final form.

At first it seems that we are advancing well, that we have already come close to bestowal and are almost entering the spiritual world. And then suddenly it is revealed that all this was still concealed reception. In this way we continue to develop. The main thing is to constantly receive support from the environment, to annul ourselves before it, and not to fear any states because you are on the path.

What is needed is a collective prayer, that is, for my thoughts and desires become the same as the inner thoughts and desires of the group, that I delve ever deeper into the group and want to flow together with everyone in one current to such an extent that wherever they go, I go, without any criticism from myself. This is called collective prayer. What everyone wants, I want too.

For me society is not something external, but the inner desire of the group, although later I will discover that the same force acts within all external people as well.

In summary, if I wish to advance correctly, I have to do everything possible to join the group and not look at external faces, but at the inner thoughts and desires, and strive to unite with them. This is what collective prayer means. Whatever this society desires, whatever it strives for, I join them and I yearn for the same.

What Makes the Screen Thinner?

Posted on October 31st, 2025

Question: What causes the screen to thin during the ascent?

Answer: The screen thins only if there is a reason for it.

But in general, we could say the screen expands and thickens rather than thins, because as much as it ascends, the stronger it should be.

Questions about Spiritual Work—266

Posted on October 31st, 2025

Question: What does direct light clothing onto reflected light mean? Does Malchut discover something in direct light through this action?

Answer: Malchut, clothed in the upper light, begins to feel how untenable it is to receive it. As a result, it refrains from doing so.

Question: You said that if we want to do something for another, this desire must be fulfilled in its full capacity. This seems like a rule that can lift us spiritually, but we do not use it for some reason. What are we lacking?

Answer: You are lacking enough strength to bestow.

Question: Where does the direct light in the very first Partzuf Galgalta come from?

Answer: In any Partzuf there is direct light (Ohr Yashar) and reflected light (Ohr Hozer).

Ohr Yashar goes from top to bottom, from the light of infinity in the head of the Partzuf.
