166) The soul does not rise to appear before the holy King until she is rewarded with clothing in a garment of above, to appear there. Similarly, she does not come down until she dresses in a garment of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
167) Similarly, the holy angels of above, of whom it is written, \u201cHe makes the winds His angels, flaming fire His ministers.\u201d When they perform a mission in this world, they do not come down before they clothe in a garment of this world. It is all according to the place to which they go. And the soul does not rise, unless in an illuminating garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
168) When Adam<\/em> ha<\/em> Rishon<\/em> was in the Garden of Eden, he was clothed in a garment such as above, a garment of upper light. When he was expelled from the Garden of Eden and needed the colors of this world, it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.\u201d First, they were garments of light, the upper light, which he used in the Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 169) Because the illuminating upper light was operating in the Garden of Eden, when Adam HaRishon<\/em> entered the Garden of Eden, the Creator clothed him in a garment of that light and admitted him there. Had he not worn that light first, he would not have entered there. Once he was expelled from there, he needed a different garment. And then, \u201cAnd the Lord God made for the man and for his wife garments of skin.\u201d It is likewise here: they made official dress to serve in the holy place, to bring him to the holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 170) The good deeds that one does in this world draw light of the upper splendor to set up for him a garment for that world, to be seen before the Creator. In that garment that he wears, he enjoys and sees the illuminating mirror, as it is written, \u201cTo behold the pleasantness of the Lord and to visit in His palace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 171) Therefore, the soul dresses in special garments in two worlds, so she will have wholeness in all\u2014in this world, below, and in the world above. This is why it is written, \u201cOnly the righteous will give thanks to Your name, the upright will dwell in Your presence.\u201d \u201cOnly the righteous will give thanks to Your name\u201d is in this world; \u201cThe upright will dwell in Your presence\u201d is in that world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 166) The soul does not rise to appear before the holy King until she is rewarded with clothing in a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":16107,"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-16202","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
