He goes up to the high mountain as a donkey that wishes to climb a high mountain, and as a heavy burden, the iniquities are heavy for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he is above and wishes to climb that little bit of road that remains, the load is too heavy for him. He falls, drops himself below, and by the weight of the burden that presses him his organs are made pieces until not one of them remains in tact. This is also what happened to&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and to the serpent, who are the liver and the protrusion of the liver, the evil inclination and his mate, the harlot. From this we read that \u201cAny daughter of a foreign god, a harlot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The root of all the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and the serpent, male and female.&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;extends from the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>, where all the punishments that come for the sins that extend from the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;were given to&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>. The serpent, his&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>, extends from the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>, and all the punishments that come for sins that extend from the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;are given by her. Those two kinds of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;are the roots of all the kinds of sins in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Azazel above is the full amount of complaints that&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and the serpent carry on them, to bring them to the Creator, so He will permit them to punish Israel, from both their kinds of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>. Azazel above is likened to a donkey carrying a load. Likewise, the goat to Azazel carries all the slandering of&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and the serpent, whose root is two kinds of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these two kinds of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;connect, they can destroy the whole world. Their correction is through the middle line, by which the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;cancel the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;through his&nbsp;<em>Masach de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>, which cancels the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of illumination of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Satan wishes to slander Israel before the Creator, when&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and the serpent send the upper Azazel to slander Israel, and he carries all the sins he can carry until he becomes heavy, and both&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;are too heavy to carry, he goes up to the high mountain to evoke&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>. He ascends to the left line, called \u201chigh mountain,\u201d since the three lines are called \u201cmountains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he is already in the left line, in&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;of the left, he wishes to climb that little bit of the road that remains, and rise to&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left, where there is no unification of the right, and from which all the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;are extended. At that time the burden is too heavy for him and he falls. The&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;in his burden are heavy on him in the place of&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left, in order to cancel them through the middle line, which corrects it by sending Azazel to the desert, which Israel send below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time he drops himself below the whole of the left line, not wanting to receive even the&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;of the left that the left line leaves, since the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;runs from the middle line and its corrections. This is also what happened to&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and to the serpent, Azazel\u2019s emissaries\u2014the evil inclination and his mate the harlot, since&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;is the evil inclination, and the serpent, his mate, is a harlot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A male and female have to be a kind with its kind. And since&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;is from&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>, his mate should have been from those&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, as well. However, she is from the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>. Where did she receive those&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>? After all, her husband,&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>, is not the one who gave her? She fornicates with other upper forces and receives from them the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and his mate are called \u201cthe evil inclination and a harlot,\u201d because from there we read, \u201cAny daughter of a foreign god is a harlot.\u201d Since the&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;is the origin of all the harlots in the world, and a daughter of a foreign god receives from her, once she fornicates with other forces and receives from there&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>, she then overcomes her husband,&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>, since&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;are harsher than&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>379) Rabbi Pinhas said to Rabbi Shimon, \u201cThat road was established for me, to hear these words from&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yomin<\/em>. How fortunate is the world that you are in it. Woe to the world that remains orphaned and does not know words of Torah properly.\u201d Indeed, the liver,&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>, takes all the good and bad. And although he roams and gathers all of Israel\u2019s iniquities, he thus collects their merits, to keep his slandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, the liar must speak the truth, so as to be trusted. He brings all the merits and faults to the heart, and the way of the heart is that it takes only the purest, clearest, and cleanest\u2014the merits, as you said. The rest of the filth and dirt, which are the iniquities, it returns to the liver, and the liver is forced to take everything, as it is written, \u201cAnd the goat shall carry on it all their iniquities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>380) David, who was walking by the riverbank, said, \u201cLord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty. Lord of the world, has there been a person in the world who thanked and praised his Master like I do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A frog came across him and said to him, \u201cDavid, do not be proud, for I have done more than you. I have given my body at the command of my Lord, as it is written, \u2018The Nile will swarm with frogs.\u2019 Moreover, I praise and sing night and day, incessantly.\u201d At that time David said, \u201cLord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>378) \u201cAnd the goat shall carry on it all their iniquities.\u201d When Satan
