204) The third commandment is to know that there is a great and ruling God in the world, and to properly unify Him each day, in the upper VAK, HGT NHY of ZA, make them one unification in the six words of \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d and aim the desire with them upward. For this reason, the word \u201cOne\u201d should be extended to the measure of six words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Zohar<\/em> says two things: 1) We must know that there is a great and ruling God in the world. 2) Properly unify Him each day. This is so because first we must know those two sides in love\u2014upper AVI and YESHSUT. That there is a great God, upper AVI, who is great in Hassadim, and that He is ruling in the world, YESHSUT, who is called \u201cruler,\u201d which implies to the judgments that come out of them, that the light was concealed from them and the harsh judgment comes out, since the name ruling and governing indicates judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meaning is that we should know those two sides of love, and include fear in each of them, and he will receive the love of the Creator, both in mercy and success of his ways, and in judgment, since then it is regarded as complete love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterwards, each day, a proper unification must be made in the upper VAK, to raise MAN to ZON, and ZON to YESHSUT. At that time, YESHSUT and ZON rise and unite as one with AVI, who are called upper VAK, as they clothe VAK of AA, where by this unification, YESHSUT rise in the place of AVI, above the Parsa of AA, where there is upper water, and the light is not hidden from them. And when YESHSUT are filled with light, they give to ZON, ZON to all the worlds, and the Hassadim appear in the worlds. This is the meaning of the reading of Shema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The six words of \u201cHear O Israel\u201d are six sides of ZON, and the six sides of ZON must be unified so they unite as one with the six upper sides, which are AVI and YESHSUT. And with them, the desire should be aimed upward, meaning aim the desire and the Nefesh Ruach Neshama (NRN) to be included in them in MAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make them one unification in VAK of ZA, which are six words of \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d the word \u201cOne\u201d should be extended, meaning that Hochma should be drawn in the word \u201cOne.\u201d It is so because the light of Hochma, which extends from Ein Sof to upper VAK, which are AVI and YESHSUT, unites the VAK of ZA in light of Ein Sof, since Ehad [\u201cone\u201d] is thirteen in Gematria, indicating to the drawing of light of Hochma. Hence, in the \u201cOne,\u201d there should be intention to draw the Hochma to VAK of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, in this unification, there is no intention to extend GAR to ZA, but only to increase the VAK of ZA through their integration in the upper VAK. Hence, the word \u201cOne\u201d should be extended to the measure of six words. \u201cTo extend\u201d means to draw Hochma. \u201cAs the measure of six words,\u201d into VAK of ZA. By that, his VAK become VAK of Gadlut because the six words of \u201cHear O Israel\u201d correspond to VAK of ZA, and through this unification, which increases him in VAK of Gadlut, it is then possible to extend GAR to ZA, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 205) It is written, \u201cLet the waters under the heavens be gathered unto one place.\u201d It means that the degrees under the heaven will gather unto one place, to be in completeness for six edges. And yet, in the unification of \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d one must tie the fear to it, meaning to extend the Dalet in the Ehad [\u201cone\u201d]. This is why the Dalet in the Ehad is big. And this is the meaning of what is written, \u201cAnd let the dry land appear,\u201d meaning the Dalet\u2014which is the dry land\u2014appears and connects in that unification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The unification of Shema is to extend VAK of Gadlut. This is the meaning of the verse, \u201cLet the waters under the heavens be gathered unto one place,\u201d meaning let the degrees below the heaven gather unto one place, to be in completeness for VAK, since one place is the upper VAK, where the light of Ein Sof shines in the light of Hochma. It was said that the degrees below the heaven\u2014which are the six sides of ZA under the Bina, which are called \u201cheaven\u201d in regard to ZA\u2014be gathered unto one place, the six upper sides, to be in completeness for VAK, as they should, so they will receive the light of Hochma, too. Then VAK of ZA will unite, although only in completeness for VAK, only for Gadlut of VAK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd yet, in the unification of \u2018Hear O Israel,\u2019 one must tie the fear to it, to extend the Dalet in the Ehad,\u201d which is the bottom fear. This is so because complete love is love on both sides, in judgment and in mercy, and success of his ways. This is why the light of the act of creation first came out and then was concealed. When it was concealed, the harsh judgment came out and the two sides were included in it, Mercy and judgment together, so they would be whole. This is love as it should be. In this love, too, fear should be awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It follows that there are two discernments of love and fear: upper love and fear, upper AVI, and lower love and fear, YESHSUT. Wholeness is achieved only by both discernments together. Thus, the concealing of the light in YESHSUT is done to disclose the lower love even if He takes your soul away. Even then the fear must cling to that lower love, and one should fear one\u2019s Master and not harden one\u2019s heart. Then one has love and fear in completeness and clings to upper AVI and to YESHSUT, receiving all the pleasantness and good in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This refers to the unification of the Shema reading. Once he raised the ZON and included them in the six upper sides, to extend the great love in ZON in the word Ehad, which is the light that was created on the first day, in the verse \u201cAnd God said \u2018Let there be light,\u2019\u201d still, in the unification of \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d the fear must be connected. This is so because one should also disclose and extend the concealing of the light that was made in YESHSUT, to complement it with the lower love and fear, too, as without it, it is considered incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One should extend the Dalet in the big Ehad because big letters are in Tevuna. This is why the Dalet in Ehad is big, implying to the place of concealing of the light that was done in NHY of Tevuna. This is the reason why it should be extended and to aim in the concealing in her, to cling to the lower love and fear, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is written, \u201cAnd let the dry land appear,\u201d meaning that the Dalet, \u201cdry land,\u201d will be seen and connect to that unification because there is no wholeness in the upper love and fear that were extended in the six words of the Shema reading through the word Ehad, which is the meaning of \u201cLet there be light.\u201d Rather, it is through the lower love and fear, which appear through the concealing of the light in NHY of Tevuna, which are called Dalet. This is why it is written, \u201cLet the waters under the heavens be gathered unto one place,\u201d which is extension of light of Hochma to the six degrees of ZA, which are below the heaven. Afterwards, it is written, \u201cAnd let the dry land appear.\u201d This relates to the Dalet in the Ehad, that it should be extended and to aim that it becomes dry by concealing the light, so the Dalet, the dry land, Tevuna, will be seen and tied to that unification of light in upper AVI that were extended in VAK of ZON to complete the love in two sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 206) Once Malchut connected above, in VAK of ZA, she must be tied below, as well, in her masses, in the six other edges that are below in Malchut. These are \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever,\u201d in which there are six other words of unification [in Hebrew]. Then the land that was dry becomes a land for bearing fruits and offspring, and for planting trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation: In the Shema reading, the upper unification, the Dalet in Ehad was tied above in AVI. Afterwards, the Dalet in Ehad must be tied to the other VAK, below, on the six sides of Nukva of ZA, Rachel, who stands from the Chazeh of ZA and below, in which all 600,000 souls of Israel\u2014called \u201cthe masses of the Nukva,\u201d \u201cher masses\u201d\u2014are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And after ZA was included in the light of upper AVI and the concealing of Tevuna appeared in him, which is as it is written, \u201cLet the dry land appear,\u201d of the Dalet, those two discernments must be extended to Nukva of ZA from his Chazeh and below. These are the six words Baruch, Shem, Kevod, Malchuto, LeOlam, VaEd [Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever]. These six words correspond to the six sides HGT NHY of Nukva of ZA, for in \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever,\u201d there are six other words of the unification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, what was dry became a land to bear fruit and offspring. This is so because to disclose complete love, which is on both sides\u2014mercy and judgment\u2014the light of the act of creation came out and was then concealed. And when it was concealed, the harsh judgment came out and the two sides\u2014mercy and judgment\u2014were included, became whole. Thus, the love was not completed on both sides by concealing alone, but only through the harsh judgment that came out after the concealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, before the harsh judgment came out, the Dalet in Ehad was dry land, useless. Being out of the light by the concealing, the fear was not complete in her, either, so she would be corrected with the lower love and fear, which complement the upper love and fear, since the harsh judgment\u2014which is the primary exposure of the lower love and fear\u2014has not yet been revealed. And that harsh judgment is placed in Leah\u2019s heels, the place of Rachel\u2019s Rosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is so because ZA has two Nukvin [Aramaic: females]: 1) From the Chazeh and above, called Leah; 2) From the Chazeh and below, called Rachel. Leah\u2019s heels end at the Chazeh of ZA, touching Rachel\u2019s Rosh, who is standing from the Chazeh of ZA and below. The harsh judgment is at the end of Leah\u2019s heels, which touch inside the Rosh of Rachel. Therefore, the harsh judgment operates only in Rachel, since no screen and judgment can disclose its domination but only from its place and below. It follows that the concealing is not complemented into the degree of lower love and fear, but only after it is extended to Rachel\u2019s place, where the harsh judgment operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, what was dry becomes a land for bearing fruits, offspring, and for planting trees, since that Dalet in Ehad\u2014who was dry and a place of desolation before the harsh judgment appeared, unfit for settling\u2014has become a fruit-bearing land, fitting for planting trees, a place for settling now that she extended to the VAK of Rachel from the Chazeh of ZA and below. It is so because the lower love and fear appeared in her in whole, complementing the upper love and fear so love will be on both sides. Only in this way do all the pleasantness and goodness in upper AVI appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is written, \u201cAnd God called the dry land Earth.\u201d This is in the same unification as below, in \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever,\u201d which becomes earth, a complete desire as it should be. Eretz [earth\/land] comes from the word Ratzon [will\/desire]. This is the meaning of \u201cAnd God called the dry land Earth,\u201d meaning that He extended the Dalet in Ehad to the Nukva of ZA, to her six sides, where the act of the harsh judgment is already revealed. Then the Dalet, which was dry and desolate, became a fruit-bearing land and a place for settling in Nukva of ZA, through her coupling with Him. Thus, \u201cGod called the dry land Earth,\u201d which is a complete desire as it should be, since the complete, proper desire\u2014complete love\u2014appeared in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 207) \u201cAnd God called the dry land Earth.\u201d In that unification below, in \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever,\u201d she became Earth, a complete desire as it should be, for Eretz [earth\/land] comes from the word Ratzon [will\/desire]. This is why it is written, \u201cIt was good,\u201d twice: once for the upper unification, and once for the lower unification. Since Malchut united on both sides, in VAK of ZA and in her VAK, henceforth \u201cLet the earth put forth grass,\u201d for she was established to bear fruits and offspring properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commentary: The upper unification, unification of six words of the Shema reading, which is in the six big, upper sides of AVI, is explained in the verse \u201cLet the waters under the heavens be gathered unto one place.\u201d This unification extends to VAK of ZA, the light that was created on the first day, from the six sides of upper AVI. This is the first \u201cIt is good,\u201d said on the third day of the act of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lower unification, the unification of the six words \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever\u201d is the completion of the Dalet in Ehad. It has no completion except in the six sides of Nukva of ZA, and it is explained in the verse \u201cAnd God called the dry land Earth,\u201d and in the verse \u201cLet the earth put forth grass.\u201d This is so because in VAK of Nukva, the dry land became a fruit-bearing land, and it is on this unification of VAK of Nukva that the second \u201cIt is good\u201d was said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It follows that the first \u201cIt is good\u201d was for the upper unification, and the second \u201cIt is good\u201d was for the lower unification. Since Malchut united with both sides, in VAK of ZA and in her own VAK, both being sides of love, through an upper unification and a lower unification, henceforth the land will put forth grass because it was established to bear fruits and offspring properly. This is so because the lower unification complemented the love on both sides, and the lights of upper AVI extend to VAK of Nukva, giving fruits and offspring to her masses, who are the 600,000 souls of Israel as it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 204) The third commandment is to know that there is a great and ruling God in the world, and to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":7520,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-11742","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
