Desires Before and After the Restriction

276.02Question: 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.

281.02Question: 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.

In the Connection Between Us

942Question: RABASH writes that the purpose of the group is that the Shechina should dwell among us. How can we picture this: everyone the same, or each in his own way?

Answer: Each in his own way. But still, it is precisely the connection between us that then turns into connection with the Creator.

Question: And how is this connected with awe before the Creator?

Answer: Awe is that feeling which we discover in the connection between us.

Descent and Ascent

282.01Question: You said that the descent of light from above downward is one law, and our work from below upward is another law. I always thought that by ascending from below upward we attain the same laws.

Answer: The descent from above downward proceeds from the upper one to the lower one. Thus they unite and transmit to each other the filling with the round light (Igulim).

And from below upward is a different property, when each Igul (circle) gains its thickness and, by means of the Masach, emits reflected light. Through this light, it ascends to the Malchut of the previous Igul (circle) and shines in it.

Insist on Getting Closer

931.01Question: What does the concept of “engaging in elevating the Creator” encompass?

Answer: It means that a person’s intention is to cause the Creator to ascend gradually through their actions. This is his entire reward.

Question: How can we clarify whether our actions elevate the Creator in our minds and hearts?

Answer: You do it by trying to connect with other groups on the issues you are discussing. In this way, you will feel yourself gradually drawing closer.

And what is very important, not to detach from one another after the lessons, after the exercises, but rather insist on closeness and unification within the ten and between the tens.

What Can Be Revealed in the Quality of Bestowal?

608.02Question: You talked about the sensitivity of the soul and balancing the border between receiving and giving Kelim. How is the awe of the Creator related to the sensitivity of the soul?

Answer: We must achieve the property of bestowal over the property of receiving inherent in us from the beginning with which we begin to seek out the property of bestowal instead of receiving in our global union.

If we begin to acquire it, we can reveal the attitude of the Creator toward us in it.
