362) \u201cThe Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation.\u201d It is written, \u201cThe Lord lives.\u201d But do I not know that the Lord lives? Yet, even a righteous, Yesod, is called \u201calive,\u201d since a righteous draws the illumination of Hochma, the light of Haya, and this is why he is called Hay [alive].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLives\u201d means that he is righteous above and righteous below. ZA above and his Yesod below are called \u201calive.\u201d Above, he is called \u201cthe Creator,\u201d who is ZA, alive, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord lives,\u201d and below, the righteous is called \u201calive,\u201d Yesod of ZA, as it is written, \u201cAnd Benayah the son of Yehoyada, the son of a living man,\u201d which points to Yesod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And why is the Creator called \u201calive\u201d? It is so because He is righteous, containing the righteous Yesod, as well, since \u201crighteous\u201d is called \u201calive,\u201d \u201cthe One who lives forever,\u201d since He draws illumination of Hochma, which is called \u201clight of Haya [living\/animal].\u201d Also, the Creator imparts Hochma only after NHY of vessels\u2014which are primarily the righteous Yesod\u2014are complemented. At that time, it is said, \u201cThe Lord lives,\u201d after the extension of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock.\u201d Everything is one, \u201clives\u201d and \u201cblessed,\u201d since they are not separated from one another. \u201cLives\u201d means illumination of Hochma, and \u201cblessed\u201d means illumination of Hassadim. They must clothe one another because Hochma without Hassadim is darkness, and this \u201cThe Lord lives\u201d and \u201cblessed\u201d are Hochma and Hassadim together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Rock\u201d is the Nukva of ZA. When \u201cLives,\u201d \u201cthe Lord,\u201d and \u201cRock\u201d unite as one, the rock is called \u201ca well of living water,\u201d springing from within the well, which is \u201cLives,\u201d \u201cthe Lord,\u201d and \u201cBlessed.\u201d The well is filled by the rock, and she is called \u201ca well of living water\u201d because water is Hassadim that she receives from \u201cblessed.\u201d Life is illumination of Hochma that she receives from \u201cLives.\u201d She is called \u201ca well\u201d after the fountain that springs in her, these two illuminations. This explains the words, \u201cThe Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock.\u201d It indicates to the perfection of the coupling of ZA and Nukva when she receives the complete Mochin from him, which are implied in the words \u201clives\u201d and \u201cblessed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
363) \u201cAnd exalted be the God of my salvation.\u201d This is the upper world, Bina. \u201cHigh and lifted up\u201d means higher than all because from Him, from Bina, emerges all the Mochin in ZON and in BYA, and every springing that springs, from which to fill the well. And the Nukva is blessed from there, to shine for all that is below Atzilut. And when everyone is filled with abundance from her, then \u201cAnd exalted be the God, my … salvation,\u201d since the upper one rises and is lifted up by the proliferation of abundance that He imparts upon the lower ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
