1) \u201cAnd it came to pass at the end of two full years.\u201d It is written, \u201cMan puts an end to darkness and to the farthest limit he searches out the rock of darkness and shadow of death.\u201d \u201cPuts an end to darkness\u201d is the end of the left that is not included in the right, which is Satan and the angel of death, who wanders in the world and incites people to sin. He roams above and stands before the Creator and slanders and complains about the world. \u201cAnd to the farthest limit he searches,\u201d since all his deeds are not to benefit, but always to consume and to yield destruction in the world; he takes people\u2019s souls and puts them to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) \u201cThe rock of darkness and shadow of death\u201d is a stumbling block, Satan, since it is in this that the wicked fail. And it stands, \u201cA land of thick darkness, as darkness itself.\u201d There is the land of the living, above\u2014the land of Israel, Nukva of ZA\u2014and there is the land below, called \u201cdarkness\u201d and \u201cthe shadow of death,\u201d which emerges from the dark land, the Nukva of the shell. A rock of darkness and the shadow of death is the end from the side of the darkness, Satan, the waste of gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) See how people should consider the work of the Creator and delve in the Torah day and night, so as to know and to observe His work, for the Torah declares before man every day and says, \u201cWhoever is naive, let him turn in here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) And when a person engages in the Torah and clings to it, he is rewarded with strengthening in the tree of life, ZA. And when a person is strengthened in the tree of life in this world, he strengthens in it for the next world. And when the souls depart this world, the degrees of the next world will be corrected for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5) The tree of life divides into several degrees, and they are all one. This is so because there are degrees in the tree of life, one atop the other\u2014branches, leaves, shells, trunk, roots, and it is all the tree. Similarly, one who delves in the Torah is corrected and strengthens in the tree of life, the trunk of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6) And all the children of Israel are strengthened by the tree of life; they all literally cling to the tree but some cling to its trunk, some to the branches, some to the leaves, and some to the roots. It turns out that they all cling to the tree of life, and all those who engage in the Torah cling to the trunk of the tree. For this reason, one who engages in the Torah clings to the whole tree, for the trunk of the tree contains all of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7) \u201cAnd it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed.\u201d The end is a place where there is no remembering, the end of the left, as it is written, \u201cOnly keep me in mind when it goes well with you.\u201d Is this appropriate for Joseph the righteous to say, \u201cKeep me in mind when it goes well with you\u201d? But since Joseph considered his dream, he said, \u201cThe dream is certainly one of remembering.\u201d But he was wrong about that, for it was all in the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mochin are completed only with the coming of the middle line. Before that, there is division between the two lines, and each wishes to sustain its dominance and to revoke the other\u2019s luminescence. The right wishes only for illumination of Hassadim and cancels the illumination of Hochma in the left, while the left wishes only for illumination of Hochma and cancels the illumination of Hassadim, until the middle line comes and decides between them; it mingles them in one another, and sustains the illumination of both, each according to its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are two kinds of incorporation in it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. When the illumination of the left is included in the right, and the right dominates, shining only in Hassadim that are covered from Hochma. This is the degree of ZA, where even though he has Hochma from the left, he does not use it because he delights in mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. When both are mingled in one another, and both govern in one incorporation. The right shines in illumination of Hochma, called \u201crevealed Hassadim,\u201d and the left shines in illumination of Hassadim. This is the degree of Yesod of ZA, the middle line, which shines from Chazeh of ZA down. This is the degree of Mochin that is governed by Joseph, and it is called, \u201cMochin of remembrance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Joseph looked into his dream, he said that this is certainly a dream of remembrance. When he saw that the middle line has already been drawn in the upper Mochin. He thought that here there was already the second incorporation, called \u201cMochin of remembrance,\u201d which are the complete Mochin that reveal Joseph\u2019s dominion. Hence, he spoke with confidence and knowing the future, \u201cOnly keep me in mind when it goes well with you,\u201d meaning that the Mochin of remembrance will appear with the coming true of the dream of the chief of butlers, as it is written, \u201cOnly keep me in mind,\u201d together with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he was wrong about that, since there was only the first incorporation here, while all the words of the dream were in the Creator, ZA, which is covered Hassadim. The second incorporation, which is Mochin of remembrance\u2014considered Joseph\u2019s dominion\u2014had not occurred yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8) Hence, in correspondence to the place where there was forgetfulness, as it is written, \u201cThe chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.\u201d \u201cBut forgot him\u201d indicates the place where there is forgetfulness. This is called \u201cend,\u201d of the side of darkness. Also, two years means that the degree of forgetfulness has returned to the degree of remembrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is so because as long as the second incorporation for Mochin of remembrance did not occur, the shell of forgetfulness, called \u201cthe end of days,\u201d stands at the left line. It is so because by the force of the second incorporation, the place of forgetfulness returns to being a place of remembrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the words of the dream were in the Creator in the first incorporation. This is why the place of forgetfulness stood before him, for in this place the Mochin of remembrance will later be revealed. \u201cForgot him\u201d implies a place where there is forgetfulness, for the governance was given to the shell of forgetfulness, and she is called \u201cend,\u201d on the side of darkness, in the left side, which is dark prior to the incorporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the end of two full years.\u201d What are two years? A complete aggregation of correction is called, \u201ca year.\u201d Bringing the degree of forgetfulness back to the degree of remembrance requires two mingles, which are two years, as it is written afterwards, \u201cPharaoh dreamed,\u201d meaning Pharaoh\u2019s dream was already considered the second incorporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9) \u201cPharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.\u201d This was Joseph\u2019s dream, a dream of remembrance, which reveals Joseph\u2019s domination because every river is the righteous Joseph, for anyone who sees a river in a dream sees peace, which is the degree of Yesod, Joseph, as it is written, \u201cI will extend peace to her like a river.\u201d Thus, a river implies Joseph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
