The Prayer that One Should Always Pray"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>What I heard in private on&nbsp;<em>VaYera<\/em>, November 1952<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faith is discerned as&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, interpreted in the mind and in the heart, that is, bestowal and faith. Opposite faith there is the discernment of the \u201cforeskin,\u201d which is knowing, whose way is to appreciate the discernment of the foreskin. Faith, however, called \u201cthe&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>&nbsp;[Divinity],\u201d is in the dust. This means that this work is considered disgraceful, and everyone escapes from walking on this path. But only this is called \u201cthe path of the righteous and&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[holiness].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creator wants His names to be revealed only in this manner, as in this manner it is certain that they will not blemish the upper lights, since the whole basis is bestowal and&nbsp;<em>Dvekut<\/em>&nbsp;[adhesion]. Also, the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>&nbsp;[shells\/peels] cannot suckle from this quality since they nurse only on knowing and receiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the foreskin rules, the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>&nbsp;cannot receive the upper lights into it, so the lights do not fall into the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>. Because of this there is the sorrow of the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>, meaning that the upper lights are detained from being drawn into it, so she can bestow upon the souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this depends only on the lower ones. The upper one can only impart the upper light, but the force of the&nbsp;<em>Masach<\/em>, so the lower one does not want to receive anything in the vessels of reception, depends on the works of the lower ones; that is, the lower ones must make that scrutiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What I heard in private on&nbsp;VaYera, November 1952 Faith is discerned as&nbsp;Malchut, interpreted in the mind and in the heart, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6231,"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":[25],"class_list":["post-12829","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-baal-hasulam"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 82.
