151) It is written, \u201cHer husband is known in the gates.\u201d The Creator rises in His honor since He is hidden and concealed in great transcendence. There is no one, nor was there ever anyone in the world who could perceive His wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
152) Hence, none can perceive His wisdom because he is hidden and concealed and is transcended above and beyond. And all the upper ones and lower ones cannot attain Him until they all say, \u201cBlessed be the glory of the Lord in His place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lower ones say that the Shechina is above, as it is written, \u201cHis glory is above the heavens.\u201d And the upper ones say that the Shechina is below, as it is written, \u201cYour glory is above all the earth.\u201d Until all the upper and lower ones say, \u201cBlessed be the glory of the Lord in His place\u201d because He is unknown, and there has never been anyone who could perceive Him. So why is it written, \u201cHer husband is known in the gates\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
153) Indeed, \u201cHer husband is known in the gates\u201d is the Creator, who is known and attained by what each assumes in his heart, to the extent that he can attain by the spirit of the wisdom. Thus, according to that which one assumes in one\u2019s heart, He is known in his heart. This is why it is written, \u201cKnown in the gates,\u201d in those measures [the same word as \u201cgates\u201d in Hebrew] that each assumes in his heart. But it should be properly known that there is no one who can attain and know Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
154) \u201cHer husband is known in the gates.\u201d What are gates? It is written, \u201cLift up your heads, O gates.\u201d By these gates, which are high degrees, by them is the Creator known. Were it not for these gates, they would not be able to attain in Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
155) There is no one who can know man\u2019s soul except by these organs of the body and those degrees of the body that disclose the actions of the soul. For this reason, the soul is known and unknown\u2014known through the organs of the body, and unknown in its own essence. Similarly, the Creator is known and unknown, as He is a soul to a soul, a spirit to spirit, hidden and concealed from all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, one who is rewarded with these gates, the upper degrees that are doors to the soul, to him the Creator is known. Thus, He is known through the upper degrees, which are His actions, and is unknown in His own essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
156) There is a door to a door and a degree to a degree, and from them is the glory of the Creator known. And the door of the tent is the door of Tzedek [justice], which is Malchut, as it is written, \u201cOpen to me the gates of justice.\u201d This is the first door by which to enter in attainment. Through this door, all the other upper doors are seen, and one who is rewarded with this door is rewarded with attaining it and all the other doors with it, since they are all on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
157) And now that the bottom door, \u201cthe tent door,\u201d \u201cdoor of justice,\u201d is unknown because Israel is in exile, all the doors depart it and they cannot know and attain. But when Israel come out of exile, all the upper degrees will be on the door of Tzedek as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
158) And then the world will know the sublime and precious wisdom that they have never known before, as it is written, \u201cAnd the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of Hochma [wisdom] and Bina [understanding].\u201d They are all destined to be on the bottom door, which is the tent door, Malchut, and they are all destined to be on the Messiah King to sentence the world, as it is written, \u201cBut with justice shall he judge the poor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
