Question: What are the ten Sefirot of the world of Atzilut? What do they contain and for what purpose? And why are there ten of them and not nine or eleven?

Answer: The ten Sefirot are the necessary number of transformations that must take place over the desire to receive that was initially created by the Creator so that the bearer of this desire would feel why it is like this, how it works, and how a response arises within it.

Question: What is the complete revelation of the ten Sefirot?

Answer: I do not know what that is. But as we draw closer to our root, we become more and more similar to it and reveal more and more. In this similarity, in the adhesion with the root, we attain all the qualities of the spiritual world.

The Sefirot of circles precede and are much more important than the Sefirot in the line, since there is no screen in the circles (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Vol. 1, Part 2 Chapter 1, 90).

Question: In the interaction between the Sefirot de Igulim and the Sefirot de Yosher in the world of Adam Kadmon, where do the Sefirot of Igulim come from? After all, it is already a world completely operating with a screen.

Answer: No, not yet completely. The Sefirot of Igulim emerge first because they are directly connected to the source of light. The light affects them, and they acquire the properties and form of light.

Igulim (circles) exist primordially because they are a property of light. Therefore, we cannot study Kav (straight lines) unless we study Igulim.

Igulim are the light that emanates from the ten Sefirot de Igulim. If the Kelim de Yosher are not present during their expansion, this light remains unchanged, enters the Sefirot de Igulim, and fills them.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that full revelation of the ten Sefirot occurred in the world of Atzilut. But revelation of the ten Sefirot also took place above, for example, in the world of Adam Kadmon. So why does he speak of their revelation only beginning from the world of Atzilut?

Answer: Because before that there was no concept of worlds at all.

The world of Adam Kadmon is merely roots that have not yet become defined or distanced from one another. Therefore, we cannot speak about actions taking place above the world of Atzilut.

Question: But a large portion of Talmud Eser Sefirot is devoted to describing the world of Adam Kadmon. How do the Kabbalists describe it?

Answer: To the extent that Kabbalists can reveal the spiritual world for themselves and convey it to others who are not yet on their level that is how they describe it.

Kabbalah is studied from the root to consequence.

Question: In Talmud Eser Sefirot it is written that the beginning of attainment comes from the clothing of the ten Sefirot in the ten Kelim. What is the relationship between the Sefirot and the Kelim? Does a Kli include ten Sefirot?

Answer: A Kli is a Sefira in which its root is revealed, and in this way, it becomes filled with a certain light that it receives from above. We study how the transformation of the light occurs within it and how it acts downward.

Question: What is the difference between the Sefira Keter and the Kli Keter?

Answer: A Sefira is that which shines. And Keter is simply a name that can refer to a Partzuf, a Sefira, and even an Olam.

Question: Can we say that the ten Igulim (circles) and the ten Kavim (lines) precede the appearance of the five Partzufim of the world of Adam Kadmon?

Answer: Yes, of course. They serve as their preliminary foundation, so to speak. One emerges from the other.

Question: Does this mean that they continue to exist in parallel, since nothing disappears in spirituality?

Answer: No, they continue to exist, but now as upper and lower levels.

Question: It is said that Behina Dalet does not receive any light. Is this the empty space that separates the Kelim?

Answer: Behina Dalet is an empty space because a screen in front of it does not let light through.

The purpose of this empty space is to make the Kli begin to receive the light in line with the rules of restriction, a straight line (Kav).

Question: The Igulim (circles) do not dissolve in the upper light due to the screen formed by Kav.

Why do we say that Igulim come first and then Kav (straight line)? Does this mean that without the Kav we would not be able to distinguish the Igulim?

Answer: The upper light comes first in the form of an Igul (circle) because this is the closest thing the light in the ten Sefirot has compared to the light of infinity.

There is no variation in infinity. But here there is already a difference.

Question: How is the desire formed in the Rosh (head) to receive light in the seven lower Sefirot?

Answer: When the light passes through the Sefira of the Rosh, it forms within the Rosh both this light and the Rosh itself. It turns out that the light assumes the qualities of the Sefirot de Yosher or the Sefirot de Rosh, and then enters the body of the Partzuf.

Question: What does the empty space between Igulim and Yosher mean?

Answer: The empty space signifies Sefirot de Igulim or Sefirot de Yosher that are unfilled with light either due to the absence of a screen (Masach), or because the Partzuf ends there.

Question: What is the combination of the ten Sefirot de Igulim and the ten Sefirot de Yosher?

Answer: It is their mutual expansion; the ten Sefirot de Yosher spread within the ten Sefirot de Igulim.

Question: In the Rosh (head) there is the light of the entire degree, and the seven lower Sefirot are filled according to the screen (Masach). The decision about this process is made by Malchut de Malchut. But does the Rosh itself not yet perform independent calculations?

Answer: Everything is determined by Malchut de Rosh.

Question: Does the quality of bestowal arise at the moment of restriction (Tzimtzum)?

Answer: Yes, bestowal manifests in the Kli when the Kli is in a state of restriction.

Question: Are the ten Sefirot de Igulim in the world of Adam Kadmon the initial foundation of the screen from the side of the Kli?

Answer: Yes.

The ARI writes that it is not adhered to the light of Ein Sof, meaning that the form of the circular light of Keter of the circles is not the same as the light in Ein Sof (Baal HaSulam “The Study of the Ten Sefirot” Vol. 1, Part 2, Chapter 1, No. 9).

Question: What is a round light?

Answer: A round light is different from any other (light) and is bound to its source. That is exactly what the Ari wants to say.

Question: Why does he call the Igulim (circles) “Sefirot” and not “Behinot“?

Answer: It is completely irrelevant now. “Sefirot” and “Behinot” are the names we use for the individual levels in each Partzuf.
