Fire, Wind, Water, Dust"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>January<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire, wind, water, dust, dream, fat, incense, criminals of Israel, sleep, eating, and drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire and water are&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>. Wind and dust are&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>MA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>BON<\/em>. However, all this is after the association of the quality of mercy with judgment. The water themselves were divided into&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in the upper water and&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in the lower water, which is the main&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>. There is a division between them because fire, water, and wind are primarily the quality of mercy, and the quality of judgment in&nbsp;<em>Hitkalelut<\/em>&nbsp;[inclusion].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fire is the vital source (<em>KLA<\/em>). It is the difference between life, which is warm, and death, which is cold. Also,&nbsp;<em>Chaim<\/em>&nbsp;[life] from the word&nbsp;<em>Chom<\/em>&nbsp;[heat\/warmth], and man is nourished from it as in the sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is primarily the quality of mercy, and the quality of judgment in&nbsp;<em>Hitkalelut<\/em>. Two times&nbsp;<em>Mi<\/em>&#8211;<em>Mi<\/em>, the water basis and the acid basis. Hence, the basis of water is suitable for light and for lighting, and the acid basis, from the words&nbsp;<em>Hometz-Yayin<\/em>&nbsp;[vinegar-wine]&nbsp;<em>Chom-Etz<\/em>&nbsp;[warmth of the tree], since the power of judgment operates there in&nbsp;<em>Hitkalelut<\/em>. Hence, man is nourished by it without effort, since there is no excessive effort in upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind is the pillar that decides between fire and water and ascends up to&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>. Hence, it is considered the vital root, in which there is also the fire, as well as water, and it is the rising and adorning together. For this reason, man is nourished by it in a perpetual and never ending&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;[coupling]. There is no effort in its nourishing, but it rather extends by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dust is primarily the quality of judgment, and the quality of mercy in&nbsp;<em>Hitkalelut<\/em>. Hence, man is not nourished by it directly, as with the water and wind, but by plowing, sowing, and harvesting, and the thirty-nine works, as it is written, \u201cBy the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the scrutinies in the thought, as in \u201ca work of craftsmanship,\u201d since the water and wind are primarily the quality of mercy. Hence, there is no work of craftsmanship there since the scrutinies are done by themselves without effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, in the dust there is very little of the quality of&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>&nbsp;and the quality of mercy, and it constantly requires effort to recognize it and sort it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of eyes, ears, nose, and mouth being the roots, which are called&nbsp;<em>Hushim<\/em>&nbsp;[senses], as it is written, \u201cthe sons of Dan: Hushim\u201d and \u201cHushai the Archite,\u201d and as in \u201cMy ear heard and confirmed it; my eye saw and coveted it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eyes and the ear are&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, fire and water. Hence, waste that emerges from the eyes are the tears, as in tearing, which is the association that is revealed in the ear, as in living water. The waste of the ear blocks the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nose and mouth are&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>MA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>BON<\/em>, wind and dust. There are two holes in the nose,&nbsp;<em>Nukvin de Pardashka<\/em>. From one there is life, and from one there is the Life of Lives. The first is the mercy and adornment, and the second is the rising. Waste that emerges from the nose is in plural form, which is not so in the eye and the ear. The mouth is dust, and the&nbsp;<em>BON<\/em>, where the teeth grind the food with great effort, and its waste is more than all of them, and it is the saliva of the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During sleep, a person closes his eyes and lies completely devoid of any level. This is as in \u201cshuts his eyes from looking upon evil.\u201d Hence, at that time he can be nursed from the Highest of High, which is the fire basis (<em>KLA<\/em>&nbsp;in falling). At that time, one of his ribs is taken from him, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chalom<\/em>&nbsp;[dream], from the words&nbsp;<em>Chol<\/em>&#8211;<em>Em<\/em>&nbsp;[sand-mother], and&nbsp;<em>Helev<\/em>&nbsp;[fat] comes from&nbsp;<em>Chol<\/em>&#8211;<em>Av<\/em>&nbsp;[sand-father].&nbsp;<em>Chol-Av<\/em>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<em>Helbona<\/em>&nbsp;[incense] and the prayer from the criminals of Israel who said, \u201cHow will we help for we will harm it, and they made a secular Temple, since it emerged from their noses and became loathed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chalom<\/em>&nbsp;is the fire basis, which&nbsp;<em>Lochem<\/em>&nbsp;[fights] against the water and makes it boil, and \u201cA foolish son is his mother\u2019s woe,\u201d for then all the bloods gather together to the heart, and impure and pure are there together. Hence, when he wakes up from his sleep, his end is in pure blood that pours out from the heart to all the organs. This is the meaning of \u201cI awoke for the Lord supports me,\u201d as in the&nbsp;<em>Samech<\/em>&nbsp;[Hebrew letter, and also \u201csupport\u201d], meaning from upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, (since sleep is the final&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cI am asleep but my heart is awake,\u201d since \u201cThe voice of my beloved knocks, \u2018Open for me,\u2019\u201d which is the nourishing from the basis of fire. \u201cI arose to open,\u201d as in the&nbsp;<em>Samech<\/em>, as said above, for this is why there is no&nbsp;<em>Nun<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ashrey<\/em>&nbsp;[happy are they], which is \u201cfalling,\u201d because of the&nbsp;<em>Samech<\/em>&nbsp;of awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cliquid myrrh on the handles of the lock,\u201d meaning that because the handles of the lock were carved from one of his ribs during sleep, meaning&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, it is now possible for the light to breach and break through the lock that was made, which is the meaning of \u201cputting to death and reviving, and brings forth salvation,\u201d for it is impossible anyhow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cHow fair are your feet in shoes,\u201d meaning of&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, similar to Moses\u2019 \u201cTake your shoes off your feet,\u201d which is the meaning of \u201cFor the place on which you stand,\u201d the place of Moses, the&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Abba<\/em>, whose place is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, and she was certainly a land of holiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January Fire, wind, water, dust, dream, fat, incense, criminals of Israel, sleep, eating, and drinking.
