311. The thornbushes, the hollows under the altar, which puncture and go down to the abyss, where what is poured flows, were created from the six days of creation. The Creator created Sheet [thornbush], the thornbushes, and this is Beresheet [in the beginning], with the letters of Bara [created] sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaac\u2019s dear, who was sacrificed in the tying of Isaac instead of Isaac, it is true that it was born from the six days of creation, and the Creator created Sheet, and Sheet is Tayish [he-goat] in reversed letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
312. Blessed be the name of the Creator, who created the whole world and prepared it with Hochma, Tevuna, and Daat [wisdom, gumption, and knowledge respectively]. Opposite them, He created three worlds: the upper world, the world of Sefirot, and the bottom world, this world, and the middle world, the world of the angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the small, bottom world, in the man in this world, He placed the form of the three of them: 1) the speaking soul opposite the world of the angels, 2) the form of the growing soul opposite the bottom world, 3) the form of the noetic soul opposite the upper world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
313. The bottom world exists in the air when the body exists in the soul and the soul exists in the air, and the air in the Creator. The Creator created the man and created him in the image and the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
314. He prepared him from four things distinguished from each other: fire, wind, water, and dust, as it is written, \u201cAnd the land was Tohu [empty] and Bohu [chaos], and darkness over the face of the deep, and the spirit of God.\u201d These are the four above-mentioned things: Fire is called Tohu, and this is the first foundation. Bohu and darkness are the water and the dust. Darkness is the dust, as it is written, \u201cits name is covered with darkness,\u201d which is the lump of dust. The wind is actual wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
315. However, God created the man, who is called \u201cthe bottom world,\u201d opposite the great, upper world, and placed in him the persistence of the soul which moves the whole body. Hence, He distinguished him from all the created beings that are below with him. In what is man distinguished from the rest of the created beings? It is because of that soul, the speaking soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
316. The soul that is in man, which is called noetic, which soul is it, and what is its place? The Creator created the man in His name. When he grows and sees the matters of the world, and examines his heart, he smells that soul by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since he observes and sees the wonders of the Creator and the novelty of the world, and the shining of the lights in the evening and in the morning, and that the whole world depends on his power, he toils to study and attain holy and pure attainment, and then he has the noetic soul because he learns to know, to search in the wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
317. The place of the soul is in the heart; it moves the whole body, and it is placed in the middle of the body and shines to the whole body. When the sun is placed at half the sky, and the body exists in the soul, and the soul in the air, and the air in the Creator, and the Creator suffers all the worlds by His strength, as it is written, \u201cI made and I will bear and I will suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
318. Why did the Creator mention the creation of heaven and earth at first if the throne and the angels were created first? However, it is in order for man not to reflect on matters that are hidden from the eye, and which he did not discover in the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
319. In order to show a person who does not have wisdom and is unworthy of revealing to him the secrets of Torah, since the secrets of Torah are to be revealed only to a wise person, who reads and studies, and his learning persists in his hands, and he is God fearing and proficient in every thing, and a person who is not into this matter and will ask about the concealed and hidden matters of above, tell him, \u201cWhy are you asking? Raise your eyes and see that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Know that the Torah did not reveal more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
320. There are piles over piles of secrets and rules and interpretations on anything, as it is written, \u201cHis locks are like clusters,\u201d for every little bit, piles over piles. Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai would say about the verse, \u201cAnd the name of his wife Mehitavel daughter of Matred, daughter of Mey Zahav,\u201d three hundred decreed rules. However, he did not want to reveal them except to those who engaged with him in Maase Merkava [studying Kabbalah].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
321. It is written about Solomon, \u201cAnd he spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.\u201d For every thing, he would say in it one thousand and five reasons. If Solomon, who was a servant of the Creator, said three thousand proverbs for each and every thing, and one thousand and five reasons, it is much more so for the Creator, who reveals from a depth and from a secret, and who gives the wisdom and understanding, as it is written, \u201cFor the Lord will give wisdom from His mouth, knowledge and gumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
322. \u201cHow great are Your works, Lord, Your thoughts are very deep.\u201d \u201cHow great are Your works, Lord,\u201d is the work of creation, which are the works of the Creator. \u201cYour thoughts are very deep\u201d are the secrets of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
323. \u201cAnd the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He had said to him,\u201d teaching that He insisted on precisions in the Torah, but did not insist on its depth. When he wished to understand it, he said, \u201cI said, \u2018I will be wise,\u2019 but it was far from me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
