Question: What does it mean that “Bina went out”? Can Sefirot move around according to their will?

Answer: This refers to bestowal. I can bestow in all places without any restriction since this is the force of Bina, the Light of Hassadim (Mercy). With Hassadim, I can be in any place without any boundaries and bestow to anyone that is suitable for my bestowal. And with the Light of Hochma, there are different conditions.

The fetus enjoys the Light of Hassadim, in other words, enjoys being similar to the upper. It doesn’t perform any actions, but is similar as a result of his devotion and self-annulment. It wants to be like the mother, like the Creator. The fetus can’t express itself as the Creator in practical bestowal, but it expresses its preparedness to be like Him passively.

Question: Why is the Light of Hochma at the head of Arich Anpin called blocked?

Answer: The world of Atzilut is called the world of correction because it appears right after the shattering.

Therefore it is built so that no more mistakes can be made. It already has the experience of the shattering. It has witnessed that and is the remnant of the shattered parts. This is the reason that it builds itself so that the shattering will not be repeated and so the Light of GAR of Hochma is blocked. The world of Atzilut doesn’t allow the Light of GAR of Hochma to shine unto the lower because it was the reason they were shattered. They cannot receive such a great Light in order to bestow until the end of correction.

It is impossible to annul the desire to receive on the fourth level and to overcome the heart of stone.  We have no power to overcome our ego now. But even if we take all the power we can from the Light, we still would not be able to receive the power that can overcome the stony heart. There is no such power in the world. Because it was created something from nothing.

And so in the light of no force that could fix it “nothing.” But precisely because we have something very own, cut off from the world, we are able to exist and be independent. This is a very important point.

The heart of stone was purposely created this way so that we would be separate from the Creator. Our “Luz bone,” our foundation, was created from absolute nothing, and this is the reason that there is no power in the Light to correct the nothing. But precisely because we have something of our own that is independent of the Light, we can exist and be independent. This is a very important discernment.

Question: How did The Book of Zohar foresee all the events taking place now if it was written in the second century of the Common Era?

Answer: Even though The Book of Zohar was written two thousand years ago, its authors were people who felt all of the natural processes that moved, were moving, and would drive humanity.

These processes are concepts we learn along the axis of time. But in fact, time doesn’t exist in spiritual attainment; if a person rises above it, he can see everything that happens in the world from beginning to end.

If a person is corrected and his civilization is corrected, the adverse events predicted by The Book of Zohar will not have to happen. Without correction, the severe forces of nature will put pressure on all of humanity to lead us to achieve correction. Therefore, The Zohar describes how everything will happen in the world if a person doesn’t begin to mitigate these forces.

Currently, we are still far from establishing harmonious relations between us that will make it possible to soften these hard forces that are pressuring our development, therefore everything The Book of Zohar predicted two thousand years ago is materializing.

With the help of the Creator we will succeed in preventing the realization of the prophecies of The Zohar.
