252) In four periods of the year does the voice stop and the Dinim<\/em> awaken, and repentance is suspended until we are corrected. When the Dinim<\/em> awaken, a voice comes out and the four corners of the world rise and fall. A herald calls out and there is no one to notice and awaken. And the Creator is ready. If they repent, the Dinim<\/em> will return to their place. If they do not, the voice will stop and the Dinim<\/em> will be done. Then it is called, \u201cand it grieved Him,\u201d in the outer houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year is Malchut<\/em>, in whom there are four Sefirot<\/em>, HG<\/em> TM<\/em>, in each of which are three lines, which are twelve together. If the left line rules alone over each of the four Sefirot<\/em>, HG<\/em> TM<\/em>, they are called \u201cfour periods\u201d because of the strength of the Dinim<\/em> that extend from the domination of the left, as it was written that the voice stops in four periods of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voice is the middle line, uniting the two lines\u2014right and left\u2014into one. And when the voice stops, the dominion returns to the left line without the right, since there is no one to connect it to the right. Hence, Dinim<\/em> awaken, meaning that all the harsh Dinim<\/em> that extend from the domination of the left awaken in the world. If they repent, repentance is suspended and is not accepted until the voice is corrected and reunites the two lines, right and left, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repentance is suspended until it is corrected. This is why correction precedes repentance. Indeed, it is the way of the Dinim<\/em> of the left line that in their end, they evoke the Dinim<\/em> de<\/em> Nukva<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cSin crouches at the door.\u201d This means that the Masach de<\/em> Hirik<\/em> of the middle line, called \u201cvoice,\u201d is corrected by these Dinim<\/em> and reunites the two lines. And when the Dinim<\/em> awaken, a voice comes out, meaning that the Masach de<\/em> Hirik<\/em> awakens at the end of them, and the voice comes out of it and reunites the two lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, the four corners of the world, HG<\/em> TM<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>, rise, fall, and shine in illumination of Hochma<\/em> from below upwards and in illumination of Hassadim<\/em> from above downwards, as is the law in the middle line. Then a herald calls out, meaning that the herald comes out from the pressure of the Dinim<\/em> on the left line and cautions to cling to the middle line. And if there is no one to watch over and awaken to cling to the middle line, the Creator waits and is ready to accept their penance. If they repent, the Dinim<\/em> will repent to their place, for He accepts them and shines the Rachamim<\/em> for them from the middle line. And if they do not repent, the voice\u2014middle line\u2014returns and ceases, the left rules again, and Dinim<\/em> are made in the world. Then it is as though \u201cit grieved Him\u201d in the outer houses, for the Dinim<\/em> that were made in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

253) Since the day when the Temple was ruined, there has not been a day without evil anger. This is because the Creator has sworn that He will not enter Jerusalem above, meaning Malchut<\/em>, until Israel enter Jerusalem below. This is why there is anger in the world. And the oath related to the constant state, since there is a non-constant Zivug<\/em> of ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em> even during the exile, during prayer and on Sabbaths and good days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
