Strive for the Properties of the Light

232.01Question: Where does the additional awakening of the light that created all creation come from in the creations?

Answer: The fact is that the creation feels the need to strive for the properties of the light. Therefore, it develops this system from within itself and begins to strive for the light from Malchut to Keter.

Question: Where does the beginning of this aspiration come from?

Answer: Initially there is no light of Hochma in creation, there is no sensation of the Creator, therefore it desires to master it.

Receive a Sample of Bestowal

237Question: The second and the fourth stages of the spreading of the light are stages in action. And the third stage, as it is said in TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), is a kind of sample that a person receives from the Creator. What does it mean to receive a sample of bestowal?

Answer: It means to learn from the first stage how it transforms into the second, into the third, into the fourth stages, and in what way from the fourth stage we can connect with all the other stages and abide within them.

The Action of the Light on the Primary Desire

535.02Question: In TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) it is said that the fourth stage of the development of desire is the stage of action at the completion of the Kli of reception. What action is meant here?

Answer: It is about the action of light on the primary desire, which develops until the entire nature of light and the entire nature of desire of the Kli develop to such a degree that they are connected with each other and complement each other.

Question: Is there any example of this state?

Answer: No, there is no example yet. We are still unable to distinguish one desire from another and to speak of examples. But soon this will happen. Therefore, we must constantly strive toward the final state.

The Properties of the Letters of the Name HaVaYaH

548.01Question: In the four stages designated by the four letters, why does the “Hey” belong to both Bina and Malchut?

Answer: These are different qualities. The first “Hey” comes from the Creator’s will to bestow. This occurs within the creature’s will to receive that it senses, and it operates within it.

The difference is that the first stage comes from the light, while the last stage comes from the desire. Therefore, the desire in the final stage is the true one. And it is precisely this desire that we later study in all of nature.

Question: The “Vav” in the name “HaVaYaH” is the power of transmission, not a Kli itself, but at the same time it is precisely what connects above and below. Can we then say that the spiritual strength of Zeir Anpin lies in its emptiness and loyalty to the connection, rather than in desire?

Answer: No, this is the desire of Zeir Anpin. Desire is a parameter that we cannot set aside or not use. It is everything we have.

Spreading Light from Above to Below

548.02Question: What is the spreading of the light downward, and why is it called potential?

Answer: The spreading of the light from above downward takes place from a small desire to a greater desire.

In other words, it is the spreading of the light from the Creator to the created beings, and then within each created being to that place where this desire is revealed, until it reaches its true state completely filled with light.

Questions about Spiritual Work—255

219.03Question: It is written in TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) that the spiritual cannot be divided into parts. What does it mean?

Answer: This means the influence of the upper level on the lower level forces it to change.

Question: Is the fourth stage (Behina Dalet) the place where creation feels shame?

Answer: Yes, the place where the Kli feels the influence of light is its fourth stage.

Question: It says the light came out in full, but returned as a line. What is the light in the line relative to the light that came out?

Answer: The line is the influence of the four parts of the light on the four parts of the desire when each part in the desire (in the Kli) changes under different influences of the light.

Question: You said we need to delve deeper into the nature of the interaction between the light and the Kli. Why is it so difficult to grasp the point where the separation occurs for the first time?

Answer: Read the original sources, and you will understand the correct definition of each property.

For the Pleasure of the Creator

583.02Question: The reflected light forms the Kli of bestowal, which includes the light of Hochma, clothed in the light of Hassadim. What is the relationship between the reflected light and the light of Hassadim?

Answer: The reflected light (Ohr Hozer) is produced when the Kli finds the strength not to participate in the passage of the light through itself.

It protects itself from the influence of the light and thus comes to a state where, from that moment onward, it wishes to receive the upper light only for the pleasure of the Creator.

Who Am I Asking?

239Question: “He” means the light that exists in infinity, and “His Name” is the place within the light of infinity, the desire. When I want to turn to the Creator and ask on behalf of my friends, what should I imagine, to whom am I addressing?

Answer: You are addressing the force that gave rise to everything, within which we exist, by which we are surrounded, and which we feel. This is what you call “the Creator.”
