In order not to have the bread of shame, there must be the matter of choice. After the choice, one is rewarded with the revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The matter of the&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum<\/em>&nbsp;[restriction] is in order to have room for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The matter of devotion is because he has nothing to give to the Creator but his soul, and then he is worthy of receiving all the pleasures, since his only aim will be to bestow because he wants to annul himself before the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a debate above if he is already permitted to be given the pleasure. A person is given corporeal pleasures so he can exist. But he was not given spiritual pleasures, and this is called \u201cthe quality of judgment.\u201d That is, this&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201cjudgment.\u201d At that time, it is called a \u201cgood day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man has two forces: 1) to bestow, meaning mercy, 2) to receive, which is called \u201cjudgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis today, the beginning of Your works.\u201d The Creator wants to impart the revelation. There is a quality of judgment there, whether it is permitted to receive the revelation. It is called a \u201cgood day\u201d because at that time the revelation illuminates. This is done by the Creator sitting on a throne, meaning revealing Himself to the lower ones. In order for one to be able to receive the revelation at that time, which is called \u201cjudgment\u201d and \u201cthe quality of reception,\u201d he must evoke the quality of bestowal, called \u201cmerciful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creator sits on a throne of judgment, meaning reveals Himself to the lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is merciful, meaning that one must engage in the matter of bestowal, namely \u201cWhen will I achieve the deeds of my fathers,\u201d meaning sacrifice himself to the Creator, which is completely to bestow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerning having to be rewarded, the order of the work is that&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;will accept the burden of the kingdom of heaven, memories, and&nbsp;<em>Shofarot<\/em>&nbsp;[pl. of&nbsp;<em>Shofar<\/em>], meaning that man will give the good&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cMy heart overflows with a good thing,\u201d \u201cHe who has a good eye shall be blessed.\u201d With what? With a&nbsp;<em>Shofar<\/em>, as it is written in the&nbsp;<em>Midrash<\/em>, \u201cWith a&nbsp;<em>Shofar<\/em>&nbsp;you will renew your deeds,\u201d meaning with a&nbsp;<em>Shofar<\/em>. A throne of judgment means it is narrow and he cannot receive, while the quality of mercy is called \u201cbroadening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who forces the Creator so He cannot sit on the throne of mercy without blowing the&nbsp;Shofar&nbsp;[a festive horn], and precisely [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"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":[26],"class_list":["post-14830","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 885.
