134) \u201cAnd the time for Israel to die drew near.\u201d Woe unto the world for people do not see, do not hear, and do not know that each and every day, the voice of the herald is sounded in 250 worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The illumination of the coupling of the night is dominated by the left. The incomplete illumination of Hochma is called \u201cherald\u201d or \u201cthe voice of the herald,\u201d since a complete coupling of day is called \u201cvoice\u201d and \u201cspeech.\u201d Bina contains five Sefirot KHB TM or HGT NH, and they are five worlds. Because the Sefirot of Bina are in hundreds, they are five hundred worlds. Through the ascent of Malchut to Bina, she was split into two halves. 250 worlds remained in Bina, and the 250 lower worlds fell from her and outside the degree. Even though in Gadlut these 250 worlds return to Bina, they are still regarded as the posterior of Bina, and the 250 upper worlds are considered the anterior of Bina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the midnight coupling, whose illumination is called \u201ca herald,\u201d takes place in the 250 worlds that fell from Bina, the voice of the herald is heard in them and brings them back to their degree, to Bina. Also, in all the degrees below Bina, each of which is complemented by the sound of that herald, all the half-degrees that fell from them return to their degrees and they are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
135) One world is known above\u2014the Nukva. When the herald comes out and complements it, that world shakes and startles because this coupling comes by domination of the left, which evokes the judgments. Two birds come out, rising from that world. Their abode is under the tree, in which there is the vision of life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two birds are two sparks from HB of Nukva that fell into the shells at the time of the sin of the tree of knowledge with the posterior vessels of the Nukva, at which time they descended into the shells. With the midnight coupling, which brings the posterior vessels back\u2014those that fell from the Nukva and connect them in the Nukva\u2014the two birds return with those posterior vessels to the Guf [body] of the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the herald comes out\u2014meaning the illumination of the midnight coupling\u2014those two birds, whose abode is under the tree in which there is the vision of life and death, and which departed from the Nukva and fell to the shells, come out and reconnect to the Nukva, meaning in the posterior of Nukva, called \u201cunder the tree in which there is the vision of life and death.\u201d This is so because \u201cunder\u201d means posterior vessels, and the Nukva is called \u201cthe tree of good and evil.\u201d And the abode of those birds is there because they descend with them to the shells and rise from there with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
136) One bird comes out to the south, right\u2014the one that comes from a spark of Hochma. Also, one bird comes out to the north, left\u2014the one that comes from the spark of Bina. One comes out when the day rises, from Hochma, and one when the day sets, at evening time, after midday, from Bina. Each one calls and declares what it heard from that herald. In other words, they shine to the same extent that they received from the illumination of the midnight coupling, called \u201ca herald.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
137) Afterwards, when the night darkens, they wish to rise to their place, to the posterior of the Guf of Nukva, which is their abode, but their legs fall into the hole of the great deep. This is so because in the beginning of the night, the judgments proliferate and the posterior vessels of Nukva fall once more into the shells of Beria, called \u201cthe hole of the great deep,\u201d and the birds fall and become trapped with them. They are trapped inside of it until midnight. When half the night is through and the midnight coupling takes place, the herald calls, as it is written, \u201cAs birds that are caught in the snare.\u201d This is so because through the illumination of the coupling, called \u201cherald,\u201d they are saved and come out of the snare and reconnect to Atzilut, to their abode as in the beginning. So it is each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
138) When people\u2019s feet are caught and their days draw near, that day is called \u201cThe day of the Lord to return the spirit unto Him.\u201d At that time, the holy Keter [crown] commands man\u2019s spirit, the Keter, the seventh to all, meaning the Nukva, the seventh Sefira, which ends all the Sefirot, as it is written, \u201cThe days of our years are seventy years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
139) And if the Nukva comes to a person from the side of Gevura, which is Bina above the seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, it is written, \u201cOr if due to strength [Gevurot], eighty years,\u201d since Keter of the Gevura is the eighth. Henceforth, there is no more room for the continuation of life, as it is written, \u201ctheir span is but toil and trouble,\u201d for in a place where there is no foundation, the building cannot be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Man\u2019s soul is born out of ZON, which are seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, each of which consists of ten, thus they are seventy. This is why the number of these seventy Sefirot is \u201cThe days of Jacob, the years of his life.\u201d With respect to the vessels, they begin from above downwards. Thus, the first ten years of his life are from Hesed, the second are from Gevura, through the last ten years, which are from Malchut. And then he has no one from whom to receive and thus he dies, since he no longer has a basis from the upper Sefirot of ZON, from which to receive vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if the root of his soul is from Bina, which is Gevura, as it is written, \u201cI am Bina, Gevura is mine,\u201d then his years of life are eighty. And if he lives longer than that, it is toil and trouble, for he has no one from whom to suckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
140) Happy are the righteous when the Creator wishes to bring their spirits back to Him and to draw that spirit that is within them. When the Creator wishes to bring the spirit back to Him, if he is righteous, that spirit is as it is written, \u201cAnd the spirit will return to God who gave it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
141) And if he is not righteous, woe unto that spirit, for it must bathe in burning fire and be corrected so as to be sucked into the King\u2019s body, the Creator. And if he is not corrected, woe unto that spirit for it rolls like a stone in a sling, as it is written, \u201cAnd the soul of your enemies He will sling out in the hollow of a sling.\u201d And if that spirit is rewarded, how good is what awaits him in the world, as it is written, \u201cNeither has the eye seen a God besides you, will do for those who await Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
142) When one\u2019s days draw near to dying, he is declared in the world for thirty days that his time to die has come. Even the birds in the sky declare him. And if he is righteous, he is declared for thirty days among the righteous in the Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
143) During all those thirty days, the soul comes out of him each night, rises, and sees her place in that world, and that person does not know about it and does not notice. He does not govern his soul for all those thirty days as before. It is written about it, \u201cNo man governs the spirit to imprison the spirit.\u201d When those thirty days begin, one\u2019s image darkens and the form of the image that is seen on earth is prevented from being seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
