I heard on Nisan<\/em> 9, April 18, 1948<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is written in The Zohar<\/em>, (Portion Emor<\/em> 95a): \u201cThe assembly of Israel said, \u2018I sleep in exile in Egypt, where my children were in harsh enslavement.\u2019\u201d The Mochin<\/em> were in the state of sleep, as it is written about the verse, \u201cthere is,\u201d their God is sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut my heart is awake to guard those who will not be extinguished in exile.\u201d This means that when they receive the Mochin<\/em> of the Achoraim<\/em>, they are guarded by them, even though they still do not shine in her, and they are still in exile. However, it is still considered awake, by way of \u201cdoes not reveal from heart to mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heart is VAK<\/em>, since there is VAK de Hochma<\/em> there. Thus, even at the time of the Gadlut<\/em>, there is no other Hochma<\/em> there, but only from what she received here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy Beloved knocks.\u201d This is the beating, the Masach<\/em> [screen] de Hirik<\/em> [of Hirik<\/em>\u2014a punctuation mark] in ZA<\/em>. \u201cAnd I have remembered My covenant.\u201d This is the circumcision, which is Dinim<\/em> [judgments] of Nukva<\/em>, which cancel the Dinim<\/em> of Dechura<\/em> [male]. Dinim<\/em> are the quality that cancels the GAR<\/em>, and this is considered \u201ccutting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other corrections, called \u201cexposing.\u201d \u201cOpen for Me an opening like the tip of a needle, and I will open for you the upper gates.\u201d The meaning of this slight opening is the tiny lights, as without Hassadim<\/em>, Hochma<\/em> shines very diminutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only afterward, when Hassadim<\/em> are drawn, the Hochma<\/em> is included in the Hassadim<\/em>, VAK<\/em>, great convoys. And the meaning of the upper gates concerns the Hassadim<\/em> from the perspective of AVI<\/em>, called \u201cpure air.\u201d This is because only once he has Hochma<\/em>, but he draws Hassadim<\/em>, these Hassadim<\/em> are called \u201cpure air,\u201d since he prefers Hassadim<\/em> to Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when he has Hassadim<\/em> without Hochma<\/em>, it is considered Katnut<\/em>[smallness\/infancy]. \u201cOpen for Me,\u201d that ZA<\/em> and his sister Malchut<\/em>, in the form of Hochma<\/em>, she would draw Hochma<\/em>. The door to enter Me is within you.\u201d Thus, only when you have Hochma<\/em> will I have an opening to enter in the form of Hassadim<\/em>, which I have from AVI<\/em>, called \u201cpure air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome and see: When the Creator was slaying the firstborn of Egypt, and lowered the degrees from above downward,\u201d Egypt is the left line. However, they are in the form of Klipa<\/em> [shell\/peel] without any integration of the right. And when Israel were in Egypt, they were under their control, and they, too, had to receive the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the plague of the firstborn, meaning the revoking of the control of the GAR<\/em>of the left, this is \u201cand lowered the degrees from above downward. At that time, Israel came into the covenant of the holy sign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circumcision concerns the Dinim de Nukva<\/em>, which is a Masach<\/em> of Hirik<\/em>, which cancels the Dinim de Dechura<\/em>. In doing so, she cancels the GAR<\/em> of the left, and only the VAK<\/em> shine. It follows that by the Creator striking their firstborn, they had the strength to keep the covenant, \u201cas the blood that was shown on the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd they were two bloods: one of Passover and one of the circumcision.\u201d The Passover blood is the correction of the integration of the left line, and the circumcision blood is the correction of the Dinim de Nukva<\/em>, which is the Hirik<\/em>. And the Passover blood\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
