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.

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.

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.

Question: How does the light reflected from the screen clothe onto the nine Sefirot of direct light?

Answer: The intensity of the light with which it desires to enter and fill the vessels (Kelim) below it is reflected from the place where the inner and surrounding lights collide, rise upward, and envelop the first nine Sefirot that are located before it. In this way, mutual influence of the light on the vessel and the vessel on the light begins.

Question: Can a Kabbalist who performs restriction and reflects light influence this clothing?

Answer: Of course, he feels it, lives within it, and builds it. It all depends on him.

We influence how the light spreads through all the vessels. Because of this, they connect with one another, and the light continues to pass forward.

The Rosh (head) of the Partzuf represents Keter. This means that the Rosh is the highest Sefira and it determines to what extent and how the light spreads inside the Kli.

The Rosh is always first. It identifies which lights, how much and where they will enter.

Question: On what basis does the Rosh make the calculation of how much light it can let through? Where does it get this understanding?

Answer: All of this already exists in it. To the extent that the light fills the desire to receive,  accordingly, the Kli receives for the sake of bestowal.

Question: What is the reality of the restriction of the light? Why must the created being be limited in order to perceive this light?

Answer: Any spiritual state can be felt only if it is limited. The boundary of the Kli means that the Kli cannot receive more than its measure. It is precisely through its ability to set such a boundary that it gains the possibility to receive the upper light within that limitation.

Question: Does this mean that in the state of complete correction these boundaries disappear?

Answer: In complete correction, everything is entirely different.

Akudim are regarded as the ten Sefirot of the Toch of the first Partzuf the reality that follows the first restriction, called Adam Kadmon. Prior to that there weren’t any Rosh, Toch, Sof in the upper light, but rather the upper light filled the entire reality (Baal HaSulam, “Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Vol. 1, Part 4, Chapter 1, Inner Light, Item 8).

Question: What are the ten Sefirot of the world of Akudim?

Answer: The collective ten Sefirot related to this entire structure are called “Akudim.”

These are Kelim, desires that are filled with lights and exist around us in order to let some part of the upper light through to us. With their help we can gradually, step by step, approach the upper light, begin to feel it, enter into some kind of connection with it, and thus go further higher and higher.

Question: In TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) it is said that the true Kelim exist in the world of Atzilut. But we also study that at that stage there is still no separation from the Creator. At the same time, we learn that the entire system was created precisely to enable free choice and that the true Kli exists where there is free choice. So is there free choice in the world of Atzilut?

Answer: No, in the world of Atzilut there is still no free choice.

While on our level, we try to gather all the actions that belong to the lower and raise them to the higher, so that the illumination from a higher level would influence us and so we could gradually, step by step, reveal the forces of increasingly higher degrees.

Question: Then what is the true Kli? What parameters are included in it if it is not free choice?

Answer: Free choice is not yet a Kli. It is only a certain intention from below upward. Therefore, free choice takes place when the lower ones, that is, people in our world, feel some influence of the light upon themselves and strive toward their higher root.

Question: What is our correct influence on the spreading of light?

Answer: The correct influence on the spreading of light consists of being similar to it in our thoughts and actions.

Question: The main action of the Kabbalists is prayer. How does the sensation of different lights affect prayer, and why is it necessary for us?

Answer: In this way we learn to clarify which Kelim we have, so that we can use them to gradually fill them with the upper light.

Question: It is said that all the lights that must enter the worlds after the end of their correction are called surrounding lights, and they are all included in the reflected light. Why is it in the reflected light and not in the direct light?

Answer: The point is that only such an action as rejecting direct light brings the Kli to a state where it can begin to receive the light.

Therefore, the Kli must first push the light away from itself and then begin to work with it further.
