To my friend \u2026 Hello and all the best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You surprise me \u2026 for it has been a while since I have received any news from you regarding your health and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It must be that you are lacking confidence and strength, and in my view it is because of the external thoughts and views that you absorb through the attached channels found when coming to an environment that disagrees with our spirit and way. And where alien thoughts were in \u201cthe Nukva<\/em> of the great deep\u201d for you, meaning that the thoughts had no power or control for you have already cancelled them and cast them under your feet, for you can already trample them and walk over them, meaning there are still alien thoughts in your bodies, but they are no longer in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of the Shabbat (Sabbath)\u2014 although the Klipot<\/em> are present in the world and the correction has not been completed, when \u201cdarkness shines as light,\u201d but the place of the alien thoughts is in the Nukva<\/em> of the great deep. That is, they have no grip over man at all. However, when departing from the authority of one to the authority of many, meaning when taking out the thoughts and works into the authority of many, for the many to look at them, and if we also insert the thoughts of the people of the authority of many into your authority of one, this is already called \u201cdesecration of Shabbat.\u201d This means that we give room for the awakening of those Klipot<\/em> whose power has already ceased\u2014who were already in the Nukva<\/em> of the great deep\u2014to come up into your thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that time, you do not think that these alien thoughts are wittiness and erudition of people from the outside, that it is on offshoot of your mischief, and that now you are attached to the truth, meaning possess the true scrutiny, and now the conclusions you are drawing are through true and one hundred percent clean contemplation of the alien thoughts. And also, that until now, everything you did was only due to your insufficient scrutiny that one who wishes to walk on the path of truth should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And henceforth you need to walk on the path that is customary to people who are carried out by the currents of the world, and the results are quite predictable. And although I do not tend to speak, much less write, about these matters, I will change my way, although I know that it will be utterly useless, but only for the purpose of, \u201cI saved my soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a party on the trees\u2019 New Year\u2019s Eve\u2014on the month of Shevat<\/em>, when the world is sentenced for the whip or for mercy. The month of Shevat<\/em> is the fifth of the winter months. Through the curses and swears that we hear about the Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> (commandments) when we arrive at the fifth discernment, which is the Sefira<\/em>, Hod<\/em>, we should correct and be sentenced favorably so that the pain will turn into splendor. At that time the whip becomes mercy, extending all five Behinot<\/em> from Hesed<\/em> to Hod<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cFor I said, \u2018Let a world of mercy be built.\u2019\u201d For the light of Hassadim<\/em> is called \u201cabove reason,\u201d and only there is the blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, on the 15 of Shevat<\/em> we bless on the fruits, as Baal HaSulam said, that the whole difference between Kedusha<\/em> (holiness) and Klipa<\/em> is in the fruits: the work yields fruits, but \u201canother god is infertile and does not bear fruit.\u201d Also, being rewarded with fruits is only through the quality of Hesed<\/em>, and then one is rewarded with a fruit-bearing tree. \u201cFor man is the tree of the field,\u201d namely that only through the way that we received from Baal HaSulam are we rewarded with fruits called being \u201cfruitful and multiplying.\u201d Through the fruits we are always in a state of youthfulness, meaning as a youthful boy, as in, \u201cDelight, young man, in your childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of \u201cThose whose hope is in the Lord will gain new strength,\u201d for only this is called \u201chelp from above.\u201d That is, when one comes into a state where there are arguments for both directions, one cannot sort out the truth. At that time one needs only help form above. This is called \u201cThose whose hope is in the Lord,\u201d for he needs heaven\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n May the Creator grant us with His salvation in corporeality and spirituality,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 10, 1955 To my friend \u2026 Hello and all the best, You surprise me \u2026 for it has been […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6249,"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":[27],"class_list":["post-13377","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-michael-laitman"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
