When man was created, everything appeared in the world and the land revealed the fruits and forces that were deposited in it. And then it was said, \u201cThe buds appear on the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the heaven did not endow the earth with force until man came, as it is written, \u201cNo shrub of the field was yet in the earth\u2026 for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth.\u201d Thus, all these offshoots were not revealed in it and the heavens halted and did not pour rain upon the earth since man was absent, for he has not yet been found and created. Thus, everything was delayed from appearing because of him. When man appeared, the buds immediately appeared in the land and the hidden forces appeared and were placed in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe time for singing [in Hebrew it also means pruning] has arrived,\u201d for the midnight correction has been corrected, of song and praises, to sing before the Creator. This did not exist prior to man\u2019s creation. \u201cAnd the voice of the turtledove was heard in our land.\u201d This is the speaking of the Creator, who was not present in the world prior to man\u2019s creation. When man was present, everything was present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>76-78)&nbsp;<strong>\u201cWho shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in His holy place?\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;All the people in the world do not see why they are in the world. They do not observe so as to know for what purpose they are living in the world, and the days go by and never return. And all those days that people live in this world rise and stand before the Creator, for they were all created and they are real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a person in this world does not watch and does not consider why he is alive, but considers each day as walking in a void, when the soul departs this world, she does not know which way it is being lifted. This is so because the way up to where the illuminations of the high souls shine\u2014the Garden of Eden\u2014is not given to all the souls. Rather, as one draws upon himself in this world, the soul continues to walk after she departs him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>79)&nbsp;<strong>If that person follows the Creator and desires Him in this world,<\/strong>&nbsp;later, when he passes away from this world, he follows the Creator, too, and is given a way to rise to the place where the souls shine due to the craving that his desire followed everyday in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>81-82)&nbsp;<strong>\u201cAccording to the direction of a person\u2019s desire in this world,&nbsp;<\/strong>he draws upon himself the spirit from above, similar to the desire that had become attached to him. If his desire aims for a sublime and holy thing, he extends upon himself that same thing from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd if his desire is to cling to the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, and he aims for it, he extends that thing upon himself from above downwards.\u201d And they said that extending something from above depends primarily upon the speech, the act, and the desire to adhere. This draws from above that same side that had clung to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>84-87)&nbsp;<strong>Similarly, when one wishes to adhere to the holy spirit above, it depends on the act, the speech, and on aiming the heart to that thing, so one will be able to draw it from above downwards and to adhere to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they said that a person is pulled out when he leaves this world by what attracts him in this world; and he is attached and attracted in the world of truth to what he had been attached and attracted to in this world. If it is holiness\u2014holiness; and if it is impurity\u2014impurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is holiness, he is pulled to the side of holiness. It clings to him above and he becomes appointed as a servant, to serve before the Creator among all the angels. Also, he adheres above and stands among those holy ones, as it is written, \u201cAnd I will grant you access among those who are standing here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if he clings to impurity in this world, he is pulled to the side of impurity and becomes as one of them, adhering to them. These are called, \u201cdamagers to people,\u201d and when one passes away from this world, he is taken and submerged in hell, that same place where the impure ones who have defiled themselves and their spirits and then clung to them are judged. And he becomes a damager, as one of those damagers of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>114) When&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em><em>ha&nbsp;<\/em><em>Rishon&nbsp;<\/em>sinned, he sinned with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as it is written, \u201cbut of the tree of the knowledge.\u201d And he sinned in it and caused death to the whole world. It is written, \u201cAnd now, he might reach out his hand and take from the tree of life, as well, and eat, and live forever.\u201d And when Abraham came, he corrected the world with the other tree, the tree of life, and announced the faith to all the people in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>151-154)&nbsp;<strong>\u201cHer husband is known in the gates.\u201d The Creator rose in His honor, since He is hidden and concealed in great transcendence<\/strong>. There is no one, nor was there ever anyone in the world who could perceive His wisdom. 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<p>The lower ones say that Divinity is above, as it is written, \u201cHis glory is above the heavens.\u201d And the upper ones say that Divinity 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. And you will say, \u201cHer husband is known in the gates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\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<p>\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<p>155)&nbsp;<strong>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<\/strong>. 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. But 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<p>156-158)&nbsp;<strong>There is a door to a door and a degree to a degree, and from them is the glory of the Creator known.<\/strong>&nbsp;And the door of the tent is the door of&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;[justice], which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, 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<p>And now that the bottom door, called \u201cThe tent door\u201d and the \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&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;[wisdom] and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;[understanding].\u201d They are all destined to be on that bottom door, which is the tent door,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, 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\n\n\n<p>169)&nbsp;<strong>One who is rewarded with righteousness with people when there is&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;in the world,<\/strong>&nbsp;the Creator remembers that righteousness that he performed because at any time when a person is rewarded, it is registered so for him above. Hence, even while there is&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;in the world, the Creator remembers the good that he had done and was rewarded with people, as it is written, \u201cRighteousness delivers from death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>230)&nbsp;<strong>People should consider the deeds of the Creator and engage in Torah day and night<\/strong>. Anyone who engages in Torah, the Creator is praised by him above and praised by him below, for the Torah is a tree of life for all who engage in it, to give them life in this world and to give them life in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>239)&nbsp;<strong>\u201cAnd these are the nations which the Lord left, to test Israel by them.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;I was looking at that eternal world, and the world stood only on those righteous that reign their hearts\u2019 desire. It is said, \u201cHe appointed it in Joseph for a testimony.\u201d Why was Joseph rewarded with that virtue and kingship? For he had conquered his inclination. This is because we learned that all who reign their inclination, the kingdom of heaven awaits them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>296-297)&nbsp;<strong>\u201cHe turns for reasons in His tactics that they may do.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;The Creator causes reasons in the world and brings destructive lights to do His deeds, and then turns them around and makes them in a different way. It is the conduct of the Creator to first bring destructive lights that destruct, and then turn them around and correct them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does He turn them? The Creator executes tactics and causes reasons to turn them until they are not as the previous ones. \u201cThat they may do\u201d means according to what people may do. He turns those actions according to the deeds that they do. Thus, people\u2019s actions induce turning those deeds in all that the Creator commands them on the earth, that they receive all kinds of forms in the world by the merit of people\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>304)&nbsp;<strong>The Creator caused the reasons and deeds in the world so that everything will be done properly, and everything comes out and extends below in the world from the essence and the root above.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>430)&nbsp;<strong>As long as one engages in Torah, Divinity comes and joins.&nbsp;<\/strong>It is all the more so when traveling along the way\u2014Divinity comes and puts herself ahead, walking before the people who have been rewarded with the faith of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>453)&nbsp;<strong>Man is created in utter wickedness and lowliness,<\/strong>&nbsp;as it is written, \u201cWhen a wild ass&#8217;s foal is born a man.\u201d And all the vessels in one\u2019s body\u2014the senses and the qualities, and especially the thought\u2014serve him only wickedness and nothingness all day. And for one who is rewarded with adhering unto Him, the Creator does not create other tools instead, to be worthy and suitable for reception of the eternal spiritual abundance intended for him. Rather, the same lowly vessels that have thus far been used in a filthy and loathsome way are inverted to become vessels of reception of all the pleasantness and eternal gentleness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, each&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;whose deficiencies had been the greatest has now become the most important. In other words, the measure that they reveal is the greatest. It is so much so that if he had a&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;in his body that had no deficiencies, it has now become seemingly redundant, for it does not serve him in any way. It is like a vessel of wood or clay: the greater its deficiency, meaning its carving, the greater its capacity and the greater its importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>453)&nbsp;<strong>And this applies in the upper worlds, as well, since no revelation is dispensed upon the worlds except through concealed discernments. And by the measure of concealment in a degree, so is the measure of revelations in it, which is given to the world. If there is no concealment in it, it cannot bestow a thing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>460) When the days of the Messiah draw near, even infants in the world will find the secrets of the wisdom, to know in them the ends and the calculations of redemption. At that time it will be revealed to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>New Zohar<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>VaYera&nbsp;<\/em><em>[The Lord Appeared<\/em>]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1-4) \u201cAnd Abraham was and will be.\u201d \u201cWill be\u201d is 30 in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>. One day, Rabbi Shimon went out and saw the world dark and murky with its light hidden. He said to Rabbi Elazar, \u201cCome let us see what the Creator wants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They went and found an angel who was like a big mountain, emitting 30 flames of fire from his mouth. Rabbi Shimon said to him, \u201cWhat do you wish to do?\u201d He replied, \u201cI want to destroy the world because there aren\u2019t 30 righteous in the generation, for so the Creator decreed about Abraham, \u2018And Abraham was and will be,\u2019 and \u2018Will be\u2019 is 30 in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>.\u201d Rabbi Shimon said to him, \u201cPlease go to the Creator and tell Him, \u2018Rabbi Shimon is in the world, whose merit is as great as 30 righteous.\u2019\u201d The angel went to the Creator and told Him, \u201cLord of the world, it is revealed before You what Rabbi Shimon said to me.\u201d The Creator replied to him, \u201cGo, destroy the world, and do not look at Rabbi Shimon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he came, Rabbi Shimon saw the angel. He told him, \u201cIf you do not go to the Creator on my behalf, I will sentence that you will not enter the heaven and you will be in the place of Aza and Azael, whom the Creator dropped from heaven to earth. When you come before the Creator, tell Him, \u2018And if there aren\u2019t thirty righteous in the world, there will be twenty,\u2019 for so it is written, \u2018I will not destroy it for the twenty\u2019s sake.\u2019 And if there aren\u2019t twenty, there will be ten, for afterwards it is written, \u2018I will not destroy it for the ten\u2019s sake.\u2019 And if there aren\u2019t ten, there will be two, who are me and my son, for so it is written, \u2018By the mouth of two witnesses &#8230; shall a matter be established,\u2019 and there is no matter but the world, as it is written, \u2018By the word of the Lord were the heavens made.\u2019 And if there aren\u2019t two then there is one, and I am he, as it is written, \u2018And a righteous is the foundation of the world.\u2019\u201d At that time, a voice came forth from heaven and said, \u201cHappy are you Rabbi Shimon that the Creator sentences above and you revoke below.
