These Se\u2019arot of Dikna do not cover the lips, and the lips are all as red as a rose, as it is written, \u201cHis lips are roses.\u201d The lips whisper Gevura and whisper Hochma. Good and bad are dependent on those lips, life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who awaken are hanging from those lips, since when these lips whisper, they all awaken to pass a sentence in all the courthouses called Irin [angels of judgment].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>177. Ir is as it is written, \u201cand has become your enemy,\u201d where Arecha [Hebrew: another word for enemy] means your enemy. The judgments that awaken to those who are not loved above, and for which those who awaken to pass judgment are their enemies, are therefore called Irin. Yet, the decree is done in two ways: in mercy and in judgment. This is why they are called Ir and Kadosh [\u201cenemy\u201d and \u201choly\u201d respectively], judgment and mercy, as it is written, \u201cBy the decree of the angels is this matter, and by the word of the holy ones is the matter,\u201d since Ir indicates judgment and holy points to mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>178. When these lips open, the mouth is seen. Several thousand and myriads clothe in the wind that comes out of the mouth, and when the wind spreads, the faithful prophets clothe in it. They are all called the \u201cmouth of the Lord.\u201d When the words come out of the mouth and are whispered in the lips, they shine to all 18,000 worlds until they are all tied together in eighteen ways and trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Panim [face] is divided into Meletz of Tzelem where the two ears and the Metzah are HBD of the Panim, Mem of the Panim, and the two eyes and nose are HGT of the Panim, the Lamed of the Panim. The two lips and the tongue are NHY, and the Peh is Malchut, the Tzadi of the Tzelem of the Panim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between them is that Hochma is not revealed in the Mem of Tzelem, only Hassadim. The Hochma is revealed in the Lamed of Tzelem, but not for itself but to bestow upon the Tzadi of Tzelem, for in the Tzadi of Tzelem is the place of disclosure of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no place for Se\u2019arot in the place of the exit of the Yod from the Avir and disclosure of Hochma. For this reason, these Se\u2019arot of Dikna do not cover the lips. Since they are NH, and are the place of disclosure of Hochma, the Se\u2019arot do not cover them, and the lips are all as red as a rose. This is so because the Hochma that is revealed is of the left line, which is regarded as the red color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hochma that is revealed on the lips is Gevura from the left line. Good and bad hang on these lips, life and death, since when the Hochma is incorporated with Hassadim, good and life are extended from it. When it is not incorporated with Hassadim, evil and death are extended from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who awaken are hanging from those lips in two ways: in mercy and in judgment. If they receive the Hochma from below upward, the courthouses sentence with mercy. If they want to draw Hochma from above downward, the courthouses sentence them to judgment without mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Katnut, or under the control of the left line, NH are regarded as one, and the Peh, from which there is bestowal of Hochma, called \u201cspeech,\u201d is closed and there is no speech there. However, in Gadlut, when the middle line sustains the illumination of both of them, NH, the lips, open and the speech is revealed. In Gadlut, when the lips, NH, open into two phases, the mouth is apparent, the bestowal of the mouth of the Lord, illumination of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several thousands and myriads clothe in the Ruach [wind\/spirit] that emerges from the mouth. The number one thousand indicates the degrees that are extended from Hochma. The number myriads [myriad=10,000] indicates the degrees extended from Hassadim. All those clothe in the spirit of Hochma that comes out from the Lord\u2019s mouth. When the Ruach spreads to NH of the Guf of ZA, the faithful prophets clothe in it, and from there they receive their prophecies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the words come out from the mouth and are whispered in the lips, they shine to all eighteen thousand worlds. This is the Yesod that bestows Hochma, that is alive, after the light of Hochma, which is called Haya [animal\/living being]. This is thousands, the number of Hochma, and this is worlds, after the He\u2019elem [concealment] of Hochma, since Olam [world] comes from the word He\u2019elem [concealment], as it bestows Hochma to Malchut and is revealed in Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until they are all tied together in eighteen ways and trails, meaning until they are connected in Yesod of Malchut, which is also called Hay [alive], as we learn, \u201cDavid, king of Israel, is alive and exists,\u201d and her vessels of reception are called ways and trails since the place of disclosure is in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>179. Everyone awaits this Peh, with a tongue that speaks great things, since the tongue is the middle line that unites the two lines, the two lips, in the connection of purity in the crowning, in connection and unification of the lights in the middle line, which crowns them and polishes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tongue, middle line, polishes the lights in the three lines in the lips and completes them. It is written about that, \u201cHis palate is sweets.\u201d They are indeed sweets after the middle line incorporated them in one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis palate\u201d is as it is written, \u201cAnd the palate tastes the food.\u201d After the incorporation of right and left is done, they become good and full of flavor, and it is all delights, meaning the two lines left and right, which are called fire and water. The water and the fire are established and beautiful and lovely in their depiction, lovely to look at, since the colors red and white, left and right, join together, and all the beauty comes only from the merging of white and red together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>176.
