1) \u201cBefore the emanations were emanated and the creatures were created, the upper simple light had filled the whole reality. And there was no vacancy\u201d for the existence of the emanated and the created. \u201cAnd there was no such part as Rosh<\/em> or Sof<\/em>, but all was simple light, equal in one similitude, and it is called \u201cthe light of Ein Sof<\/em>.\u201d And when upon His simple will came the desire to create the worlds and emanate the emanations,\u201d the harsh spark came out, the force of Din<\/em> that was disclosed in Malchut<\/em>, emerging from Ein Sof<\/em>, and carved a carving in the upper light. Thus, the light was restricted and departed from within the Kli<\/em> of Malchut<\/em> and around her. That departure of light is called \u201ccarving the upper light,\u201d for a space devoid of light was made there. And in that empty space, all the worlds and all that is in them subsequently emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) And therefore, once people in this world raise MAN<\/em> through Mitzvot <\/em>and good deeds,<\/strong> they extend a new illumination from above, which lowers the Malchut <\/em>and the place of the Zivug<\/em> back to her place, below Tifferet<\/em>, and a complete degree comes out, NRNHY<\/em>, received in the Sefirot Bina<\/em> and Tifferet <\/em>that were previously included in Malchut<\/em>, and which are fit for reception of upper light. Then the souls of the righteous, too, receive the upper Mochin <\/em>from ZON <\/em>de <\/em>Atzilut <\/em>because they are included in the upper Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, all the Mochin <\/em>are only because of Malchut <\/em>that rose to Bina<\/em>, making a new Sium<\/em> there, called a \u201cfirmament.\u201d Were it not for the firmament, ZON<\/em> would not be able to receive any of the upper light. This is why the text calls those Mochin<\/em> \u201cThe brightness of the firmament,\u201d meaning the light that appears at the end of the association of Rachamim<\/em> with Din<\/em>. It is written, \u201cAnd the educated,\u201d meaning ZON<\/em> and the souls of the righteous, \u201cWill shine as the brightness of the firmament,\u201d receive Mochin<\/em> that illuminate like the brightness of the firmament, since all of their Mochin <\/em>comes from the brightness of the firmament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

82) A man is male and female, and only they are called \u201cman.\u201d Malchut <\/em>in and of herself, when she is not in a Zivug<\/em> with ZA<\/em>, is not called \u201cman,\u201d since she is without a male. Only when she mates with ZA<\/em> are both of them called \u201cman,\u201d as it is written, \u201cHe created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam [man], on the day when they were created.\u201d Thus, both together are called \u201cman,\u201d but each one for himself is like half a body, and he is not called \u201cman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

110) Happy are those who observe their desires, matters of the sublime secrets, to walk in the path of truth, <\/strong>to be rewarded in this world and to illuminate for them for the next world. It is written about them, \u201cAnd the enlightened ones will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who justify the many, like the stars forever and ever\u201d are happy in this world and in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

121) Man is called \u201ca small world\u201d because all the details of the world are included in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

159) In the verse, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let us make man,\u2019\u201d there is a secret revealed only to those who fear Him. That elder of the elders started and said, \u201cShimon, Shimon, who is it who said, \u2018Let us make man,\u2019 and of whom is it written, \u2018And God said\u2019? Who is that name \u2018God\u2019 here?\u201d As Rabbi Shimon heard that he was calling him Shimon and not Rabbi Shimon, he said to his friends, \u201cThis must be the Creator, of whom it is written, \u2018And the ancient of days [Atik Yomin]<\/em> is sitting.\u2019 Therefore, now is the time to disclose that secret, for there is a secret here that was not permitted to be disclosed, and now it means that permission to disclose has been given.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known that the secrets that were revealed to the sages of The Zohar<\/em> were by attainment of the lights of the upper degrees by instilling. There are Panim<\/em> and Achoraim<\/em> [anterior and posterior respectively] in them, meaning concealment and disclosure. According to the extent of the Panim<\/em> of the degree, so is the extent of its Achoraim<\/em>. The instilling of the Achoraim <\/em>is a calling and an invitation to instill the Panim<\/em>. This is why by the measure of the concealment of the Achoraim <\/em>that they attained, they knew the measure of disclosure that they were about to attain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Rabbi Shimon heard, he was calling him Shimon and not Rabbi Shimon. This means that the instilling of the Achoraim<\/em>, which is a calling, was so strong that he lost all his degrees and became a simple person, Shimon from the market. By that, he recognized that it was a calling and an invitation for very high attainment of Panim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why he promptly said to his friends, \u201cThis must be the Creator, of whom it is written, \u2018And the ancient of days [Atik Yomin]<\/em> is sitting,\u2019\u201d of whose degree there is no higher. And he said, \u201cAnd now it means that permission to disclose has been given,\u201d meaning that now it was seen that he obtained permission to disclose that high secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

169) The verse, \u201cLet us make man\u201d certainly relates to two, for each lower one said to the superior above it, \u201cLet us make man.\u201d The lower one does not do anything without receiving permission and saying of that Partzuf <\/em>that is above it. Likewise, its superior does not do anything until it receives an advice from his friend above him, so that each and every Partzuf <\/em>from the Partzufim<\/em> of Atzilut <\/em>said, \u201cLet us make man\u201d to his superior, and the superior to the superior of the superior, for every novelty and emanation comes from Ein Sof<\/em> and cascades through the degrees until it comes to its place. The cascading is considered here that each lower one says, \u201cLet us make man\u201d to his superior when he receives from him the soul of man, to pass it on to the ones below him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

175) The words, \u201cI, I am He\u201d apply to the Creator and His Divinity, ZA<\/em> and his Nukva<\/em>. \u201cI\u201d is Divinity. \u201cHe\u201d is the Creator. In the future, at the end of correction, the Nukva<\/em> will say, \u201cSee that I,\u201d Vav<\/em>– Hey<\/em>– Vav<\/em> are one, as it is written, \u201cAnd the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun,\u201d meaning that the Nukva<\/em> is equal to ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd there is no God with Me\u201d refers to other gods, SAM<\/em> and the serpent, for then it will be revealed that SAM<\/em> and the serpent never separated between the Creator and His Divinity, as it is written, \u201cBy the mouth of two witnesses … shall he that is to die be put to death,\u201d relating to SAM<\/em>, who was dead from his beginning and was but a servant to hurry the redemption of our souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the meaning of \u201cI will put to death and make alive.\u201d I will put to death with My Divinity the one who is guilty, and I will make alive with my Divinity the one who is innocent. The Creator\u2019s guidance from the beginning will appear throughout the world, and then, as it is written, \u201cSinners will cease from the earth, and the wicked shall be no more.\u201d That is, unlike what it seems to us during the 6,000 years, that there is a governance that objects to Kedusha<\/em>, which are SAM<\/em> and the serpent, as it is written, \u201cWhen man rules over man it is to his harm,\u201d then it will appear to all\u2014\u201cI will put to death and make alive\u201d with My Divinity, and there is none else besides Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

180-181) The friends replied to him: \u201cWhy then is all that? Meaning, if the whole reason for the creation of man is that he can repent and correct his corruption, then what is all that for? It would have been better not to create the darkness in the Nukva<\/em>, and the man would not sin to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Shimon replied to the friends: \u201cWere it not so, that the Creator created the good inclination and the evil inclination, which are light and darkness, there would not be Mitzvot <\/em>and transgressions for Adam de <\/em>Beria<\/em>. But Adam [the man] was created from both, from light and darkness, which is why the writing says, \u201cSee, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil,\u201d meaning this is why there are Mitzvot <\/em>and transgressions in man, and the choice has been prepared for him, to choose between good and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They replied to him: \u201cWhat is all that for? It would be better if the darkness were not created and there would not be reward or punishment for man, rather than being created, sinning, and causing all those many corruptions that he has caused by his sin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said to them, \u201cIt was right to create him in light and in darkness because the Torah was created for the man, for punishment to the wicked and reward for the righteous are written in it, and there cannot be reward and punishment unless in Adam de <\/em>Beria<\/em>, who consists of light and darkness, as it is written, \u2018He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited.\u2019 That is, the world was not created to be in chaos, in darkness, for the wicked. Rather, \u2018He formed it to be inhabited,\u2019 to give a good reward to the righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe reward is the attainment of the Torah, as it is written, \u2018For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,\u2019 since the Torah and the Creator are one. And if the man were not created in light and darkness, in which choice between good and bad and reward and punishment are possible, it would not be possible for that good reward that is received in the Torah, and for which it was created, to be revealed to the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The friends told him: \u201cIndeed, we heard now what we have not heard thus far. Now it is clear that the Creator did not create something that He does not need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

198) Sons, life, and nourishments extend to the lower ones only from the middle pillar, called \u201cMy son, My firstborn, Israel.\u201d He is called \u201cthe tree of life,\u201d meaning that the middle pillar, Israel, bestows upon Divinity for the lower ones. Bestowals of life to Divinity are the lower children of Israel who extend their lives from Divinity, and the giving of the secrets of Torah for the lower ones is considered Divinity\u2019s nourishments. The prayer, which is her Zivug<\/em> with ZA<\/em>, extends sons, who are souls, for the lower ones. It is about her that he says, \u201cGive me sons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

200) Rabbi Shimon started and said, \u201cListen, O upper ones, and gather, O lower ones, dwellers of the seminary of above and of below. Elijah, I adjure you, take permission from the Creator and come down here, for a great war has come to you. Hanoch, Matat, come down here, you and all the dwellers of the seminary under you, for it is not for my own glory that I did this, but for the glory of Divinity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those righteous ones, the authors of The Zohar<\/em>, and especially Rabbi Shimon, their thoughts and words were in actual deeds, for according to the quality of the innovations in the Torah that they discovered, the upper degrees were promptly set up and arranged after them in actual fact, for the righteous build worlds with their innovations in the Torah. And Rabbi Shimon prepared himself here to fight with the primordial serpent and subdue him through the unification of the sling-stone, and to open a door for the people of the world, so they too would know how to subdue the serpent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known that one cannot correct in a place where he is not present. Thus, Rabbi Shimon had to be at that time in the place where the serpent was so he would be able to subdue him. To be certain that he would not be at risk in that lowly place, he asked for assistance from Elijah, Matat, dwellers of the upper seminary and the lower one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

201) The prayer should be raised to that certain place. Like a sling-stone hurled toward a certain target, and one is careful not to miss the target so he should raise his thought and aim in the prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

218) It is written, \u201cLet the waters under the heavens gather.\u201d \u201cLet the waters … gather\u201d is the Torah, called \u201cwater.\u201d \u201cUnto one place\u201d is Israel. It is so because the souls of Israel extend from that place, of which it was said, \u201cBlessed be the glory of the Lord from His place.\u201d \u201cThe glory of the Lord\u201d means the lower Divinity, Malchut<\/em>. \u201cFrom His place\u201d means the upper Divinity, Bina<\/em>. Thus, Bina<\/em> is called \u201ca place,\u201d and because their souls are from Bina<\/em>, who is called \u201ca place,\u201d the name HaVaYaH <\/em>is indeed on them. It is said about them, \u201cFor the portion of the Lord is His people,\u201d as it is written, \u201cLet the waters gather unto one place,\u201d where water means Torah, and \u201cOne place\u201d means Israel, the receivers of the Torah. To elicit the nations of the world, who did not wish to receive the Torah, and for which the land remained desolate and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

255) The Torah is called water, as it is written, \u201cThere is no water but the Torah.\u201d The origin of the Torah is the two tablets of the testimony, which are Bina<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. This is why they are called \u201cTwo stone tablets,\u201d as they spring water, the Torah. Israel received the first tablets in full, as it will be at the end of correction, as it is written, \u201c\u2018It is Harut<\/em> [engraved] on the tablets,\u2019 do not pronounce it Harut<\/em>, but Herut<\/em> [freedom], that they will be freed from the angel of death,\u201d as it will be at the end of correction. Yet, through the sin of the calf, they corrupted the correction, and the dominion of the angel of death returned over them, the tablets broke, and they were given second tablets\u2014of life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole correction is only by extending the light of Torah, since through the MAN<\/em> that Israel raise by keeping the Mitzvot <\/em>and good deeds, they cause upper Zivugim<\/em> that gradually reveal the light of Torah to Israel until they are rewarded by it with the end of correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

255) At the end of correction, when SAM<\/em> is revoked, it will appear to all that SAM<\/em> never lived. Rather, unification was always the governor, as it is written, \u201cThere is none else besides Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

260) As with Adam HaRishon <\/em>whom He elevated in Gadlut <\/em>from the separated BYA<\/em> to the Garden of Eden of Atzilut<\/em>, so will the Creator do to a person who repents and engages in Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

280) It is known that the Emanator initiated creation and established it in a way that the children of Israel could finish it, as it is written, \u201cYou are in partnership with Me,\u201d I began creation and you finish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emanator corrected Malchut <\/em>only in the first nine in her, and He gave the correction of Malchut <\/em>de<\/em>Malchut <\/em>to Israel, so that they would correct her through work and keeping of the upper nine. Therefore, the whole of the work of Israel prior to the end of correction is only in Malchut\u2019s<\/em> first nine, regarded as sorting of 288 sparks that were corrected through the Emanator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Temples were built above in that respect\u2014first Hey<\/em> and bottom Hey<\/em>\u2014and likewise below. For this reason, they are considered to have been built by people, through the work of people who were appointed to complete creation. And because the last 32 sparks that belong to Malchut de Malchut<\/em> were still not corrected, the Sitra Achra <\/em>and the mixed multitude are among them, making Israel sin. This is why the two Temples were ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, after the children of Israel sort all 288 sparks due to the breaking of the vessels, the Creator Himself will sort the last 32 sparks from Malchut <\/em>de <\/em>Malchut<\/em>, which are called \u201cThe stony heart,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd I will remove the stony heart from your flesh.\u201d Then Malchut <\/em>de <\/em>Malchut<\/em>, the last Temple, will be corrected, as it is written, \u201cUnless the Lord builds the house,\u201d meaning prior to the end of correction, when the work was given to people and by which the two Temples were built, \u201cThey who build it labor in vain,\u201d for they were ruined. But after people complete the correction given to them, the Creator will lower the built Jerusalem, meaning Malchut <\/em>de<\/em>Malchut<\/em>, as well as the built Temple, the internality of Malchut de Malchut<\/em>, and then it will be an everlasting building for eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

294-295) Until the Creator created the world, His name was hidden in Him, and He and His hidden name within Him were one. His name is Malchut<\/em>. Prior to creation, she was included and hidden in Ein Sof<\/em> without any disclosure and recognition. At that time, He and His hidden name within Him were one, and nothing was revealed until He wished to create the world. He would inscribe and build worlds, but they were unsustainable and were ruined. The worlds that emerged from Malchut <\/em>during Tzimtzum <\/em>Aleph<\/em> are called \u201cworlds of Tohu<\/em> [chaos],\u201d and the breaking of the vessels was in them, which are the ruins of those worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was said about them, \u201cIn the beginning, the world was created in Midat ha Din<\/em>,\u201d Malchut <\/em>de <\/em>Tzimtzum <\/em>Aleph<\/em>, called Midat ha Din<\/em>. \u201cHe saw that the world could not exist,\u201d that they were ruined, \u201cHe associated Midat <\/em>ha <\/em>Rachamim<\/em> with it,\u201d meaning that the Creator, Bina<\/em>, wrapped in a wrapping of light and created the world, raising Malchut <\/em>to her, and her light was diminished because of it to VAK<\/em>, called \u201cenveloped light.\u201d At that time Midat ha Din<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, partook with Midat <\/em>ha <\/em>Rachamim<\/em>, Bina<\/em>, and by that the world existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He elicited the great high cedars out of that enveloped light, from that upper brightness, which afterwards extended GAR<\/em> to the above mentioned enveloped light once more, and placed His Merkava <\/em>on 22 inscribed letters. These are ZON<\/em>, since the letters ELEH <\/em>de <\/em>Bina<\/em>\u2014which descend from her to ZON<\/em> during Katnut<\/em>, and during the Gadlut <\/em>of Bina<\/em>, she brings them back to her\u2014are regarded as a Merkava<\/em> [chariot\/assembly] that journeys to and fro. He placed His Merkava <\/em>on 22 letters, meaning ZON<\/em> in Katnut<\/em>, and later, in Gadlut<\/em>, ZON<\/em> were carved in ten utterances, which mean Mochin de <\/em>GAR<\/em>. Then they settled and were properly corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

309) The Nukva<\/em> is nourished by the male, since the Nukva<\/em> has nothing of her own, and receives from the male the nourishments, the abundance for her sustenance, as well as the begetting of the souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

348) \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be light.\u2019\u201d This is the light that the Creator created in the beginning, the light of the eyes, the light that the Creator showed Adam HaRishon<\/em>, in which he saw from the end of the world to its end. It is the light that the Creator showed to David, which he would praise and say, \u201cHow plentiful is Your goodness, which You have hidden for those who fear You.\u201d It is also the light that the Creator showed to Moses, and in which he saw from Gilad to Dan, the whole of the land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

424) The awakening always begins from the lower to the upper, and then everything is completed. Above, too, each lower degree raises MAN<\/em> to its adjacent superior, and the superior to the super-superior, all raising MAN<\/em>, first up to the highest of all, and then the abundance pours from Ein Sof <\/em>from above downward, descending from degree to degree, from each superior to its inferior until they arrive at the bottom. Thus, with respect to the MAN<\/em>, each lower one precedes its upper one. And with respect to MAD<\/em>\u2014the Mochin <\/em>poured down from above\u2014each upper one precedes its lower one. If the Assembly of Israel, the Nukva<\/em>, were not initially awakened, ZA<\/em> would not have awakened above opposite her. By the craving below, it is completed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

424) As long as the Nukva<\/em> does not raise MAN<\/em> to ZA<\/em>, ZA<\/em> has no need to extend Mochin <\/em>from AA<\/em>. But after Nukva<\/em> raises MAN<\/em> he extends the Mochin <\/em>of illumination of Hochma <\/em>from AA<\/em> for her and they obtain the Mochin <\/em>of PBP<\/em> [face-to-face].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

472-473) A book was lowered to Adam HaRishon<\/em>. In it, he knew and attained the supernal wisdom. The writing says about it, \u201cThis is the book of the generations of Adam.\u201d This book comes to the children of God, the sages of the generation. Anyone who is rewarded with looking in it knows the supernal wisdom in it, and they look in it and attain in it. The one with the secrets, Angel Raziel, lowered it to Adam HaRishon <\/em>in the Garden of Eden, and three appointed angels before him were guarding the book lest the outer ones grip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Adam left the Garden of Eden he was still holding that book. When he went outside, the book left him. He prayed and cried before his Master and He returned it to him as before so the wisdom would not be forgotten from people and they would engage in order to know their Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

482) The Creator is destined to correct the world and correct the spirit of life in people in a way that they live forever, as it is written, \u201cHe shall swallow up death forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Zohar<\/em>, Beresheet Aleph<\/em> [Genesis 1]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

110) Those who cling to the Creator in truth, their desire guides them to advance in their work as it is established above, in the upper worlds, as it is written, \u201cAnd Abram went as the Lord had commanded him.\u201d Hence, later, when they observe their desire, they know the sublime secrets, for they look into the tendencies in their own desire and know how the sublime secrets are determined above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

771) Happy are the righteous, who are called \u201cLife for the next world.\u201d Is it because the soul remains existing that the righteous are considered living? But does the body decay in the earth even though it is complete and righteous? The soul always exists. Death and life do not apply to it. Only in the body are there death and life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
