The scrutiny of the educated in creation, in the first concept, is defined as emulating the work of the Creator. The work of the Creator is called \u201cProvidence,\u201d or the \u201cnature of creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are not called \u201cbody,\u201d but rather \u201csimple matter of flesh and blood in its still [inanimate] form,\u201d completely amorphous. It is so because anything that is called by the name \u201cform\u201d is regarded as a spiritual force and is not a body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This gives us a law by which all bodies are equal. However, as Earth is a single body that cannot be divided into many\u2014for we do not find any change of form in it from one part to another\u2014the still cannot be divided into many elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, all the power of proliferation in the world is a wonderful, spiritual force. For this reason, anything that is general is suitable and praiseworthy, for it comes from the spiritual force, and anything that is particular is contemptible and lowly. This designates the difference between a selfish person and one who is dedicated to one\u2019s nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no doubt that the merit of the collective is defined by its power of proliferation, for if we have decided that the power of proliferation is a spiritual and important matter, then if the proliferation is greater, he is more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It follows that one who is dedicated to one\u2019s nation is more important than one who is dedicated to one\u2019s town, and one who is dedicated to the world is more important than one who is dedicated to one\u2019s nation. This is the first concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, as there is birth of an individual, in relation to the construction of the bodies, there is birth of the collective. This is done by renewal of the spiritual force, meaning development of the concepts is birth for the collective, for in the spiritual, disparity of form divides the worlds from one another. This birth means arriving at the world of correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we are speaking of the proliferation in the spiritual essence, it is similar to the corporeal case of being born from the mother\u2019s womb\u2014which is a dark and spoiled world with all kinds of filth and unpleasantness\u2014into a world lit up by perfection, the world of correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By this we understand the meaning of the preparation as defined in the kingdom of the priests, who have come to it by the prophecy of Moses, and for which they were rewarded with freedom from the angel of death and the reception of the Torah. At that time, they needed a new birth into the air of the enlightened world, called in the verse, \u201cA pleasant land, good and broad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That newborn was stillborn because after the pregnancy\u2014which is the iron melting pot and the enslavement in Egypt\u2014came the birth. But they were still unfit to breathe the spirit of life from the enlightened world, where they were given a promise they would come, until the count began, and the war with Amalek, and the trials with the water, etc., and they arrived at the Sinai desert. Sinai (as our sages said) means Sinaa<\/em> [hatred], for they are pronounced the same, meaning the affliction entailed in every illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that time they became worthy of breathing the spirit of life, and the prophecy \u201cAnd you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation\u201d came true in them\u2014first, a kingdom of priests, to revoke their personal possessions, and subsequently, a holy nation which is to bestow contentment upon their Maker through \u201clove your neighbor as yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In corporeality, the newborn falls into loving and loyal hands, who are the father and the mother, who guarantee its sustenance and health. Likewise, once each one has been prepared with 600,000 who care for one\u2019s sustenance, they breathe the spirit of life, as it is written, \u201cAnd Israel encamped there before the mount,\u201d and RASHI interpreted, \u201cas one man with one heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man\u2019s eyes are before him. This implies that he can look only to the future in a manner of growth from below upward. However, he cannot look behind him, in the manner of conception, from above downward (as it is written about Lot, \u201cLook not behind you\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, man is denied any real knowledge because he is devoid of the beginning. He is like a book whose first half is missing, so its content cannot be understood at all. The whole advantage of those who attain is that they are rewarded with attaining the conception, too, meaning the progression from above downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man includes everything, and this is evidently seen when he looks and contemplates something. Everyone knows that he is not looking outside his own body and ideas whatsoever, yet he attains the whole world, knows what people think, assesses how to be liked by them, and adapts himself to their wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to know that, he only needs to look inside himself, and he already understands the thoughts of his contemporaries because everyone is equal, and a person contains all the people within. The restriction on one\u2019s knowledge is that one does not know one\u2019s own conception or remembers anything from that time so as to be able to say anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of the verse, \u201cYou will see My back, but My face shall not be seen.\u201d Moses attained the meaning of conception, meaning all the discernments from above downward, in full. It is called \u201cthe posterior of the spiritual worlds,\u201d and all he lacked was to look at the \u201cface,\u201d as well, meaning to see the future through the end of the correction. This is called \u201cfifty gates ofBina<\/em>,\u201d since the level of Bina<\/em> is one hundred gates, and Bina<\/em> is named by Kabbalists, Ima<\/em> [mother], as she is the mother of the whole world. One who is rewarded with attaining all one hundred gates in her is rewarded with the revelation of completeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their fifty gates from behind are the conception, meaning the progression from above downward, and their fifty gates from before are the necessary path of development through the end of correction. At that time, \u201cThe whole earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,\u201d and \u201cThey shall teach no more each man his neighbor and each man his brother saying \u2018Know the Lord,\u2019 for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of Moses\u2019 prayer, \u201cShow me please Your glory,\u201d meaning all fifty gates of Bina<\/em> from before. And the Creator said to him, \u201cYou shall see My back\u201d; it is enough that you see all fifty in My posterior, from above downward. \u201cBut My face shall not be seen,\u201d since you will not see all the fifty from before, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live,\u201d meaning before it is due time, when the vessels have fully adapted and developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to this, one must die by seeing this because the Kelim<\/em> [vessels] will not be able to receive that great light and will be canceled. This is the meaning of what is written, \u201cFifty gates of Bina<\/em> were created in the world, and all but one were given to Moses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But in spirituality there is no lack. Rather, it is all or nothing, as in \u201cA slightly broken vow is a completely broken vow.\u201d But in the end, when the measure of the Kelim<\/em> grow and develop sufficiently, they will be fit for attaining the fiftieth gate. (You should also know that there are two kinds of attainment: prophecy and wisdom. With respect to wisdom, Moses attained what all the sages attained. But with respect to prophecy, he could not attain. It is about this that our sages said, \u201cA sage is preferable to a prophet,\u201d and they also said that Solomon attained the fiftieth gate.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We find two progressions in sown wheat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n General and particular are as identical as two drops in a pond. It is so both externally, in the state of the planet in general, and internally, for even in the smallest atom we find a complete system of sun and planets circling it, just as in the universe. Likewise, man is the internality of the world, and you find within man all the images of the upper worlds, Atzilut<\/em>, Beria<\/em>, Yetzira<\/em>, andAssiya<\/em>. It is as Kabbalists said, \u201cAtzilut<\/em> is the Rosh<\/em> [head], Beria<\/em> is up to theChazeh<\/em> [chest], Yetzira<\/em> is from there to Tabur<\/em> [navel], and Assiya<\/em> is from theTabur<\/em> down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, there is a progression from above downward in man\u2019s conception, too, meaning a slow expansion from the progenitor, the mother, until one completely detaches from her as one emerges to the world, moving from operating to operated, from the authority of the progenitor to one\u2019s own authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that time begins the progression from below upward, the days of nursing, when still attached to the mother\u2019s breasts, until the form is fully completed in the final level of the progenitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Adam HaRishon<\/em> [the first man] was a creation of the Creator. He was certainly not born from a woman, but from the dust of the earth, as were the rest of the first creations, who were formed from that dust, as it is written, \u201cAll was from the dust.\u201d And yet, that dust extends from the upper worlds that precede it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so because above, too, there are light and Kli<\/em> [sing. of Kelim<\/em>]. The light is in the forms in the reception, and the Kli<\/em> is the will to receive the forms that suit them. That Kli<\/em>, which is the will to receive, is never constant, neither in terms of importance, nor in terms of an independent reality that stands on its own, but only with what it receives. Thus, it has no more merit than what is received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, a poor man who wishes to acquire wealth is no more important than a poor man who is content with his lot and does not aspire for wealth. On the contrary, he is worse than him because the will to receive becomes one with the received matter, and they are only two halves of one thing. When each half is separated, it has no value in itself, which you can discuss with or negotiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is impossible to examine anything before you see it from its beginning to its end. And since one feels only what comes from within (just as ophthalmologists have found that the colors are not the same in both eyes, but there is rather an agreement here), therefore, first one must know oneself through and through, at least since the time of conception [impregnation] to the time of adulthood. And because this is not so, for one begins to know oneself only when becoming a complete human being, one is therefore devoid of the ability to self-scrutinize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second reason is that to know something, you must primarily observe its negative qualities. And one cannot see one\u2019s own faults (and to the same extent that one can borrow from what one sees in others, one looks in a mirror that does not illuminate), since anything bad that one must receive comes to one as pleasure, for otherwise he would not receive it. Also, it is a law that wherever there is pleasure, a person does not regard it as bad, except after many experiences that develop in them. However, this requires days and years, as well as memory, conclusions, and observations, of which not everyone is capable. For this reason, no person knows himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Kabbalists have attainment and attain a matter in full. That is, they are rewarded with attaining all those degrees in reality that one can attain. This is considered that they have attained a matter in full, and that complete matter is called a \u201csoul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have already explained above, in item 2, that the worlds are attained in two ways\u2014from above downward and from below upward. First, one attains from above downward, the hanging down of the soul, and then from below upward, being the attainment itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first progression is called Ibur<\/em> [impregnation] because it is tantamount to a drop that gradually detaches from the father\u2019s brain and becomes impregnated in the mother until it emerges to the world. This is regarded as the last degree from above downward, meaning taking into consideration the cause of the newborn. After all, until then it was still connected in some part to its father and mother, meaning the cause, and as it came into the world it became independent, and this is the order from above downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the reason for all this is that His thought is unique. Hence, all incidents are the same, and the general is similar to the particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the moment of one\u2019s birth, when one is at the farthest point, begins the return to attainment, from below upward. This is called the \u201claw of development,\u201d which follows the exact same ways and inlets that descended from above downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kabbalists attain it, but to corporeal eyes they seem as ordinary states\u2014slow, gradual\u2014until one\u2019s level grows and becomes like one\u2019s father and mother. At that time one is regarded as having attained all the degrees from below upward, meaning a complete degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And since the two progressions, from above downward and from below upward, are as similar as two drops in a pond, we can understand the progression from above downward by observing the progression from below upward, which is the second progression of the development, namely the growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You find that there are four states in the four worlds, ABYA<\/em>, beginning withAssiya<\/em>, such as when examining the progression of the growth of a fruit from the planting to its complete ripening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The whole issue of from above downward and from below upward that was explained in the four worlds, ABYA<\/em>, applies even to the smallest item in the worlds, meaning in every cause and consequence. A cause is the father, the root, the agent. A consequence means that it was operated and done by the cause. For this reason, it is regarded as an offspring, a branch, or an extension and cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meaning of these two progressions is understood in the particular just as in the general. From above downward is a way of separating the cause from its consequence until it emerges and becomes an authority on its own. And from below upward is the law of development that awakens it to grow from below upward until it attains its cause. That is, it becomes completely equal to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we have explained above, the corporeal father and offspring that comes from the father\u2019s brain to the birth is the time of the ascent from below upward. You should discern likewise in all four types: still, vegetative, animate, and speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As it is in the emanation of the elements of spirituality, so it is in all the worlds. It is so because from Ehad<\/em> [one\/unique] emerges the Yechida<\/em> [also unique], and all the ways that that Yechida<\/em> received necessitate all the subsequent successions, both in the general and in the particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When looking at the seal of the work of creation, we find there the words, \u201cWhich God has created to do.\u201d This means that the work of the Creator, which is set in the creation before us, is given to us in order to do and to add to it. Otherwise, the words to-do would have been completely redundant and meaningless, and it would have to say, \u201cFor in it He rested from all His work which God has created.\u201d So why were the words to-do added here? It must be that this verse teaches us that the full extent of the work that the Creator has left in creation is in the exact measure, no more and no less, but the extent that enables us to perform its development and completion by ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In truth, our entire development in creation is but emulation of it. All the flavors and beauty of colors that we innovate and devise are but emulation of the tasteful colors that we find in flowers. And so is a carpenter; from where does he know about making a four-legged table, if not by emulating the work of the Creator, who has made creations that stand on four legs? Or, from where would he know about combining two pieces of wood if not by emulating the organs of the body, which are joined together, so he went and built in the wood accordingly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n People observe and study the reality set before us in perfect reason and beauty. Afterward, when they understand it, they emulate it and do likewise. Subsequently, that example becomes a basis for another example, until man has created a handsome world full of inventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By looking at creation, planes were built with wings like birds. A radio was built to receive sound waves like the ears. In short, all of our successes are presented before us in creation and in reality as is, and all we need is to emulate it, and do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reality\u2014meaning reality in general, and all its parts that are created as creations in relation to that which belongs to their existence\u2014we find that it is well set up, with every beauty and pleasantness, without any deficiency whatsoever. Truly, an enlightened world. But when we place opposite that the existence of this reality, meaning the manners by which these creations feed and sustain themselves, they are awry, disordered, tasteless, and very unrestrained. However, we have already explained about reality and the existence of reality in general in the essay \u201cThe Meaning of Unity,\u201d and learn it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From all this you should know that the general is always equal to the particular, that the Creator in and of Himself does not feel the proliferation, as He is always in the singular authority, and you can conclude the benefit of the collective from that of the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And as the existence and birth of the individual\u2014which the Creator has set up by the force of nature\u2014is tested from the moment of birth and emergence to the place that the Creator has prepared, which is called \u201cthis world.\u201d It is considered that He has made certain that one will fall into the hands of loyal lovers who will tend, heal, and care for all of one\u2019s needs in complete devotion and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same is true of the collective. If it wishes to be born and emerge to the world corrected for the whole collective, it is necessary to see that this general child falls into the hands of loyal parents who will love it just as devotedly as would a father and a mother, meaning through the commandment of love of others. This is similar to the preparation for the giving of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, here we engage only in the human species and see how much of the pleasantness and good the work of the Creator has set up concerning one\u2019s existence, to keep one until one is worthy of being called upon in the shape of a working human. And when we take the order of one\u2019s own existence, how much of the loathed and terrible is in it\u2014wherever one turns, one condemns, and one\u2019s very existence is built on the ruin of one\u2019s neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Know that the Creator needed the work of creation only to the extent that man was not given the strength to work there. Similar to digestion, the Creator created everything in such a way that the digestion of the food in our stomach happens without effort on our part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, from the point where one can work\u2014as this is all the flavor and contentment of the Creator who wanted to enjoy His work, meaning to fashion creations that can add, delight, and create like Him, but has no wish whatsoever to cook our food which is on the stove for us without our awareness, since we can do this by ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is similar to a teacher and a student where the whole intention of the teacher is to give the student the strength to be like him, and to teach other students, like him. Likewise, the Creator is pleased when His creations create and innovate like Him. Yet, our whole power to innovate and develop is not real innovation. Rather, it is a type of emulation. And the more the emulation matches the work of nature, to that extent is our level of development measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From this we know that we have the power to correct ourselves, the existence of reality, like nature\u2019s pleasant example of reality. The proof of this is that had the Creator not worked His full Providence in that discernment, too, for \u201cIs the Lord\u2019s hand short?\u201d Rather, it is necessary that in this place, which is our own correction, we are able to correct ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With regard to spiritual life, people are divided into two: 1) still, vegetative, animate; 2) speaking. The still, vegetative, and animate are regarded as completely lifeless. The speaking is regarded as alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life is the power of movement. It is known that the beginning of life is done by two completely contradictory actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the speaking is born, it is also regarded as lifeless until it is awakened through pushes, since its Kelim<\/em> are ready to receive life and movement while still in the mother\u2019s womb. Upon the emergence to the world, the air of the world affects it with chillness to which it is not accustomed, and this causes the awakening of the contraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And after the first contraction, it must spread once more to its former measure. These two things\u2014contraction and expansion\u2014are the first step that gives it life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, sometimes, due to weakness of the birth, the fetus weakens and the contraction is not awakened in it, since the reception of the chillness of the air of the world is too weak to affect its contraction. This causes it to be born dead, meaning that it still did not have a place and a reason for life\u2014which begins with contraction\u2014to clothe in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without internal contraction, there is no expansion. It is so because it by no means expands more than its boundary, so there is no movement. And the sign of a creature that is ready for the light of life is that it at least has the power to contract for some reason. At that time comes the light of life and makes the expansion, and the first movement of life occurs. For this reason, movement will not cease from it and it becomes a living, moving being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That first movement is called \u201ca soul,\u201d meaning the spirit of life that breathes in his nostrils, as it is written, \u201cand breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the still, vegetative, and animate do not possess that power to make an internal contraction, for whatever reason. Because of this, the light of life cannot clothe in them and cause expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He has given an inexorable law that without contraction and expansion, the Kli<\/em>will not be able to expand beyond its boundary. Hence, the still, vegetative, and animate are sentenced to eternal death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the speaking is truly fit for life. However, it is born dead, as was said above, since it requires some reason and cause that will act upon it and at least make the first contraction. This happens to it by the cold air that comes to it from Torah and good deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The contraction should be by the power of the creature itself. We discern two kinds of contraction: The first is contraction as a result of an external cause, such as coolness. The second is contraction that comes from the vessel itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Creator is the exception, meaning that a new, personal light should expand in it and return it to its custom. That light is added to the original light to be in it permanently. That is, each time it contracts, the light returns and causes it to expand to its previous size. That light is called \u201clife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The blood is the soul. It is so because the red color needs the white color to connect to it, and then it is called \u201cblood.\u201d Before it has permanently joined it, it is not regarded as blood because at that time there are lying and rising in it. This is so because its nature is O-Dem<\/em> [two Hebrew words that mean \u201cor blood\u201d], and then irregular rising is painted in it, which is only called \u201cthe colorO-Dem<\/em> [redness],\u201d from the words, \u201cBe still for the Lord.\u201d For this reason, the color falls from it again and it becomes white, colorless, which is irregular lying [resting].<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the two join, they become tendons of life\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the two become tendons of life\u2019s blood, making the contradictions in it, one becomes the living soul, meaning the O<\/em> is cut off from the Odem<\/em> [red], leaving Dam<\/em> [blood] permanently. And yet, the lying and rising that were before, now they conjoin in this blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, we discern two kinds in blood: red and white. That is, the same red and white that were operating one at a time before have now conjoined and made this blood, which is called a \u201cliving soul.\u201d Know that this is the meaning of the partial contraction and partial expansion which are called Nefesh<\/em> [soul] andRuach<\/em> [spirit].<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, that light, which made the expansion\u2014the partial of the soul\u2014is a general, wonderful upper light. For this reason, it fills and complements every kind of contraction inscribed in that structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is known that there was already white in that body, in the part that is unfit to receive the O-Dem<\/em> color [red], since … of the redness were robbed and fell when they join together in vain, etc. For this reason, once the light completed the first expansion of the light of the above-mentioned living soul, it refills that old contraction that was made in it initially. This is what is called \u201cgeneral expansion\u201d or \u201ctendons of the brain,\u201d extending from the red material whose form has been completely wiped away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of what is written, \u201cAnd breathed into his nostrils\u201d [in Hebrew it is written, \u201cnoses\u201d], two noses. First, a nose of red-white. Second, a nose of the white that is completely wiped away. \u201cAnd the man became a living soul,\u201d first out of the red-white nose, which is the blood and the first expansion, but finally it was the soul of life because it expanded in the second nose of the wiped away white, as well, which is a soul and is regarded as GAR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should also know that the first expansion of tendons of blood relates to the bottom, bodily brain, called marrow. There. …operating without one\u2019s awareness since the intermediate state, from the first nose to the second nose, is the time of nurturing of … … and then the light works completely without one\u2019s awareness, for he has not attained his soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the second expansion in the tendons from marrows kept for it as the second oppositeness, which is called the \u201csecond nose,\u201d is the relation of the upper brain: … … to the three Mochin<\/em> that operate consciously in him. This is called …<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has been explained that in the tendons from the marrow, the red is on the right. This is the color and the being that is formed on this paper. The white is the complete left, for the second nose is also erased from it, and even the color disappears from it so that the red is the being and the white is the absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The opposite of it is blood tendons, since the red is the left, meaning O<\/em> that has been joined in advance, and as \u201criver\u201d and \u201cmaybe.\u201d Conversely, although the white is lying, this image still becomes \u201cright\u201d and rising. For this reason, it is an eternal soul, which no longer needs color. And the red color that remains and is inscribed in advance has now been put to the left, in Gevura<\/em>. It is calledDam<\/em> [blood] without the O<\/em> [of Odem<\/em> (red)] so that the white is on the right, for it is not needed, and the red color will not occur in it, and the red is regarded as left, only Gevura<\/em>, which is called \u201cblood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you need to understand that the Reshimo<\/em> [recollection] of the above-mentioned red in the first nose\u2014and their tendons, which rose to the left, after the second nose, regarded as a soul\u2014is erased and permanently passes away from this structure. For this reason, the head, the brain, is white without any red at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During pregnancy, the fetus is just like a plant. Its movements are not regarded as movements of life since the movements are done by its mother, of which the fetus is a part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its environment is called \u201cabdomen,\u201d and the mother is the boundary of the environment that is cast upon it, and it eats what its mother eats, etc., and the birth begins with the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing the living is the self-essence. Movement is defined by contraction (see above), for no creation can extend its boundary even as a hairsbreadth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This extends from the head, for there the giving of this power is restricted to slightly less than its boundary, regarding the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should know that as long as another force contracts it below its size, this does not make the inanimate animate. Rather, it must contract of its own. But how can this be while it is still inanimate? This requires a prayer to be rewarded with the upper force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By that we can understand the concealed under the surrounding light, and the meaning of \u201cfor man shall not see Me and live,\u201d for the living can move, and if it still cannot contract then it is not alive, but still.
