This is called \u201cright.\u201d Afterward, we must discover the rejecting force, which is the resistance to clothing, and by this we have&nbsp;<em>Ohr Hozer<\/em>&nbsp;[reflected light], which is a&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;[vessel] for reception of the abundance. To the extent that one can maintain the rejecting force, the abundance exists in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cI have given help to one who is mighty.\u201d Hence, when the abundance comes to him he should strengthen himself substantially with&nbsp;<em>Achoraim<\/em>&nbsp;[posterior] to reject the abundance. This is the meaning of the&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yashar<\/em>&nbsp;[direct light] and&nbsp;<em>Ohr Hozer<\/em>&nbsp;depending on each other and chasing one another, for when&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;is devoid of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, she turns her&nbsp;<em>Panim<\/em>&nbsp;[face] away from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is that since she lacks the power of bestowal, she cannot receive&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Haya<\/em>, which is the&nbsp;<em>Hayut<\/em>&nbsp;[vitality] of the degree. But after she receives&nbsp;<em>Ohr Hozer<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, at which time the power of bestowal becomes established in her, she receives&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once she receives&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, she lacks&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;once more because now she is busy receiving&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, so she returns to the state of&nbsp;<em>Achoraim<\/em>, meaning she stops receiving&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and extends&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;once more, and so forth repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It therefore follows that they are dependent on each other, since when she has&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, she receives&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. Otherwise, she does not receive. Also, they are chasing one another because when she has&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, she lacks&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, and this is called \u201cAnd the animals were running back and forth,\u201d and so is always the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not so when someone clings to one end. It is said about him, \u201cAnd crushed the sides of Moab.\u201d This is also the meaning of \u201cIsrael have swinging; the nations of the world do not have swinging.\u201d \u201cSwinging\u201d means moving back and forth, and in this way, they go from strength to strength, like the nature of the light, which moves to and fro, once on the right and once on the left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 24, 1942 The beginning of the work is extending the light.
