Woe to people who walk as beasts of the field, without intelligence. This matter differs between the holy souls of Israel and the souls of the rest, idol worshipping nations. The souls of Israel were cut off from the burning holy candle,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord\u2019s candle is man\u2019s soul.\u201d When that candle is lit by the upper Torah,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the light does not rest on it even for a minute, as it is written, \u201cO God, do not remain quiet,\u201d written about&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written similarly about the souls, which mention the Creator, \u201cDo not be quiet,\u201d meaning you have no quiet. Because the light of the candle grips to the wick, that light never rests. Rather, the light moves to and fro and never rests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>116) Likewise are Israel, whose souls are from that same candlelight,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. When he says one word of Torah, the light burns and they cannot be still. Rather, they move to and fro and to all the sides, like candlelight, for it is written, \u201cThe Lord\u2019s candle is man\u2019s soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>117) It is written, \u201cYou are men.\u201d It means that you are called \u201cmen\u201d and the nations of the world are not called \u201cmen.\u201d The souls of the idol worshipping nations are from quenched straw, without any light on them. For this reason, they are quiet and do not move, since they have no Torah and are not lit up by it, and no light is in them. For this reason, they are standing as wood inside the fire, burning without the light that is on them, hence they are still and without any light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>114) Why is it that all the nations in the world do not move except for Israel: when they engage [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14056,"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":[28],"class_list":["post-14124","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | All the Nations Do Not Move;
