13) \u201cThe sun rises and the sun sets.\u201d What did King Solomon see, that the beginning of his book of wisdom is with the rising and the setting of the sun? King Solomon established his book on seven Havalim [Hevel means \u201cbreath vapor,\u201d as well as \u201cvanity,\u201d \u201cfutility\u201d] on which the world stands. These are the pillars and ledges that form the existence of the world, and this is why they are called Havalim. As the body cannot exist without Hevel, the world exists only on Havalim [plural of Hevel]. There are seven of them, as it is written, \u201cHevel Havalim [Vanity of vanities] says Kohelet; Hevel Havalim [Vanity of vanities], all is Hevel [vanity],\u201d thus seven Havalim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speech, which is the Nukva, consists of voice and Hevel [breath vapor]. The Hevel is the root of the voice, and the voice is the root of the speech. This is why they are considered NRN. Hevel, the Neshama, is the root of the Ruach. The voice, Ruach, is the root of the Nefesh, which is called \u201cspeech.\u201d The seven Havalim are ZAT of Bina, which is called Neshama. They are clothed in ZAT of ZA, called Ruach, and within ZAT of Nukva, which is called Nefesh. And she is also called \u201cworld.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seven Havalim are seven Neshamot [souls] within the seven Sefirot, HGT NHYM of the world, which is the Nukva. HGT are called \u201cpillars\u201d and NHYM are called \u201cledges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14) Thus, are they the good gems that the world stands on? After all, in another place, it is written that they are the ruin of the world, as it is written, \u201cThis is Hevel [vanity], and it is an evil disease … and striving after wind.\u201d However, although these seven holy Havalim are the sustenance of the world, opposite them are seven Havalim from which all the judgments in the world come out and spread to punish people and to correct them so they will walk on the right path. They are called, \u201cHevel that an evil disease is in it,\u201d Hevel which is an evil spirit. And they are the sustenance of the world for it is because of them that people walk on the straight path, fearing the Creator. Hence, many evil Havalim are extended from the seven Havalim of Kedusha, since they, too, are the sustenance of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15) The reason that the book begins with the words, \u201cThe sun rises and the sun sets\u201d is that it is the Hevel that sustains the world, to bring man into the high faith of the Creator, to be rewarded with the upper Mochin of Bina, the high faith of the Creator. Hence, anything that is below that degree, below the sun, is not of faith, not of Kedusha [holiness]. This is why it is written that there is no profit for man in all his labor under the sun, since we must not cling below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are seven holy Havalim and seven evil Havalim. Their root is the left line of YESHSUT, which is in dispute with the right line in it, at which time the lights in it are concealed and are made what is written, \u201cVanity and striving after wind.\u201d And because YESHSUT is ZAT of Bina, meaning HGT NHYM, there are seven lights here, which were ruined and became seven Havalim, and their correction is through the ascent of the voice, ZA, to YESHSUT, who sentenced between the two lines and separated them so that the left would shine from below upwards, and the right from above downwards. By that, it kept both of them and the seven Havalim became seven lights once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the elicitation of the left line to shine without right, everything became Hevel. Afterwards, with the ascent of the voice\u2014the middle line that sustained both of them\u2014the seven Havalim became seven lights once more. These seven lights are all the Mochin of Hochma, which are called \u201csight,\u201d that appear to the lower ones. And this is why Solomon said about them, \u201cAll things have I seen in the days of my vanity,\u201d since in the Havalim [vanity], all the Mochin of sight appeared to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is so because these seven Havalim clothe in the seven Sefirot of the voice, and both of them are in the seven Sefirot of the speech, which is the Nukva, who is called \u201cworld.\u201d In her is the place of disclosure of these Havalim, which became the seven lights of vision, and in them is the world sustained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solomon made three books, corresponding to the three lines: 1. The Song of Songs<\/em> is an interpretation of the right line, Hesed. 2. Ecclesiastes<\/em> [Kohelet] is an interpretation to the left line, Gevura. 3. Proverbs<\/em> is an interpretation to the middle line, Tifferet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the lights of the left line are in the seven Havalim, as it is written, \u201cAll things have I seen in the days of my vanity.\u201d Thus, the whole of the book, Ecclesiastes<\/em>, clarifies those seven Havalim, the good, as well as the bad because it is a clarification of the left line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the corrections of the seven Havalim are through the middle line, ZA, who is called \u201cvoice,\u201d \u201csun.\u201d By separating the illumination of the right line and the left line so that the illumination of Hochma in the left will not shine from above downwards but from below upwards, the illumination of both lines persists. Then the seven Havalim become lights and Neshamot to the Nukva once more, and the world persists, since she receives the great Mochin called \u201csustenance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything that is done under the sun, anyone who draws the illumination of Hochma below the sun\u2014from above downwards, which is not the work of the Creator\u2014turns the light into Hevel by this extension. This is the breaking of the wind, as it is written, \u201cVanity and striving after wind.\u201d However, the work of the Creator raises the light above the sun, drawing the light from below upwards, from the sun and above, not from the sun and below. At that time, holy Hevel is made of it because it turns into light and becomes a Neshama to the Nukva, and the world exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sun is the Hevel that sustains the world, becoming a Neshama to the Nukva, who is called \u201cworld.\u201d He is the correction of all the seven Havalim. After the sun, ZA, sentenced between the two lines in YESHSUT\u2014right and left\u2014in the three that come out of one, and he, too, received them in the one that is rewarded with all three, the sun draws the three lines in Bina one at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, \u201cThe sun rises\u201d from Bina, YESHSUT, which is the right line, light of Hassadim. Afterwards, he draws the left line from there, \u201cAnd the sun sets,\u201d becoming dark because everything is vanity. After that, he reveals his own self, the middle line, to unite the right and the left in one another and to separate between them so the right will shine from above downwards and the left only from below upwards. It is written about that, \u201cAnd hastens to its place,\u201d meaning hastening and shining to his exit place from below upwards. At that time, the Hevel becomes light and Neshama to the Nukva, world, once more, and the sun is the Hevel that sustains the world. This is what the text clarifies, \u201cIt rises there.\u201d In this way, it shines once more because the Hevel has become light again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, everything that is extended from the sun downwards is not by faith and by holiness. It is written, \u201cWhat profit does man have in all his work, which he does under the sun,\u201d since below this degree, one must not draw and adhere, for then the light will become vanity and striving after wind once more. And the meaning of the words is that no profit is left for one who draws below the sun, and anything that he draws below the sun is bad, for it will all be ruined and will become vanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 16) The sun in the moon, meaning ZA in coupling with the Nukva, are one, without separation. And although the moon is below the sun, since the Nukva is below the degree of ZA, still, during the coupling it is all sun without separation, since then the moon, too, is considered part of the sun because spiritual adhesion means equivalence of form. This is why she can receive the Hochma from the sun, ZA, and is not regarded as lower than the sun. If, however, he draws the Hochma below the sun, which are ZA and his Nukva, everything becomes vanity and striving after wind, meaning shell, damager, and it is forbidden to adhere to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 13) \u201cThe sun rises and the sun sets.\u201d What did King Solomon see, that the beginning of his book of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":7905,"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-7907","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
