Know we are still working and refining. 3 About the book Somewhere in the e-book “Kabbalah for complete Life Management” I have written ‘the best thing is to read and to learn from the most secret writings in the original language’. Now the time has come to speak about the letters of the holy language! Holiness means to give. When you learn the lessons of this book know that you have to make time. Do it slowly with the utmost concentration. Every lesson, every page, every sentence, every word, every letter you see put it in your heart because it belongs to the Holy language. To have some knowledge of the Hebrew letters is a must. Don’t underestimate this. The specific specialty of the Holy language, the Hebrew letters is to transform the kelim in the aspect of to give, no other language can do this. Only in and behind the Hebrew letters you can find Holiness what is the aspect of to give. The light - the Creator is within the Hebrew letters, there is no other place makom in Hebrew מקוםthen in these letters. Particularly the kabbalistic sources as: the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Zohar, Shlavei haSulam, Etz Chaim and TES. This is enough. The human being of our world is named ‘the lower human being’. The human being of the world Atzilut is named ‘the higher human being’ meaning: eternal, spiritual and giving. This higher being surrounds the Zeir Anpin z’a of the world Atzilut. All the letters of the Torah and their combinations forms the body kelim of the Higher giving human being of the Atzilut. These letters descended to our world coming from the z’a of the world Atzilut. Now you will probably understand why it is so important to keep yourself busy with the secrets of the Torah because only and exclusive by doing this you can transform the kelim of receiving belonging to the lower being to the kelim of the giving belonging to the higher being. There is no other way to become the Higher being then slowly and step by step to build up the inner spiritual body as it is in the Higher being. Only because of this you can receive the salvation and wholeness. It is only possible to build up kelim when you see and read the holy letters otiyot אותית. In the Holy Scripture are another three elements named TaN’T. Ta is for Tagin – crowns above the holy letters. N stands for Nekudot – signs or dots indicate vowels. T stands for Ta’amim - taste. Ta’amim is also signs used in the liturgy and prayer books. You can compare them with musical notation. These three elements TaN’T are in conformity with three lights: NaRa’N – Nefesh – Ruach – Neshamah. Also with these three elements you can correct your kelim meaning the kelim of the wish to receive to receive in the kelim of to give, named ‘giving in order to give’. We are the one who correct the creation tikun briyah. And this happens when you correct your wish to receive in the wish to give. When you have received the kelim of to give because of to give know this isn’t the last kelim. There is another phase: the receiving of the lights of Ga’R gimel reshimot. These kelim aren’t the true kelim belonging to the z’a and malchut but in a way you ‘borrow’ them of the z’a and malchut of the Binah. In a way the kelim of the z’a and malchut are for us the true kelim but they are separated from the three kelim: Keter Chochmah and Binah and the lights belonging to these kelim: Nefesh Ruach and Neshamah. This is because of the first restriction tzimtzum. But in a way it is the light of Ga’R gimel reshimot or in other words – the shining of the light Chochmah. Only when you have come to this stage you can correct the kelim of receiving because of the receiving into the kelim of to give – we name this last phase ‘receiving because of the giving’. This phase lies within the goal of Creation matarat ha’Briyah. What is the intention of our study? The kabbalistic sources are hidden in all 4 our lessons and the digital books and by way of reading these books you can come to a complete transformation of your kelim. A complete transformation means: above the chazeh where are the kelim of to give because of to give, and beneath the chazeh, the kelim of to receive because of the giving. How can you achieve this? From the study of Shlavei haSulam you receive the lights nefesh and ruach. From the study of the Zohar you can receive mainly the light Neshamah. Than there is the study of the Etz Chaim beside the comment of BaalHaSulam in TES, from this study you receive Ga’R the first three lights. Beside of this you can read in the e-book ‘the manual’ and ‘Kabbalah for complete life management’. In all these works you can find your unique and individual method for the spiritual work of the Lurian Kabbalah. In this manner you can stimulate your kelim and receive the corresponding lights what gives you the feeling of complete awareness in all the things you do in your daily work. That’s the reason I want to stress out the importance of every lesson. Read every lesson slowly and concentrated word for word and if you have the change do it with the Holy letters. Place in your heart the quality and not the quantity. How much you do isn’t important, the intention kavanah is more important then you will notice; Kabbalah helps! Read this book with full concentration, with absolute awareness and live your life by making use of what you have read then the path to the spiritual worlds will open for you and you can and will come and feel your salvation. Use the highest intention and step-by-step you will go to your own salvation, to your fulfillment, to your wholeness. Take notice: this e-book is made of the oral lessons I gave to my students. Because you didn’t attend the lesson it can be difficult and may be it gives you the impression of ‘what is this’ because the language isn’t always proper considering the grammar and may be it seems to you there is no sequence because of the interruptions and additional explanations. By translate it as pure as possible the strength of the spoken word will stay available. Because of the strengths hidden in the spoken word it is important that you slowly read and above all don’t rush. In a way the written word has the same strength but you have to be very accurate. Don’t try to understand with your head but let the text come within you and place it deep into your heart. And finally, a very important methodological note: Notes to the statements of Yeshua I have presented so as to direct the reader once again to the right approach to the study of His' "Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven": each verse is considered on the basis of it's writing in the holy language! Of the translations into other languages, even the most "canonical", it is impossible to understand the phenomenon of Yeshua! After all, Yeshua himself spoke in the holy language! Otherwise, all this will be only the good word that doesn't work. As for example at Easter, when they utter vain and ridiculous words: "Jesus is risen - truly risen!" - It's just words, "truly " ... stream of sounds "from the lips to outside" and nothing at all of the Resurrection - because there is absolutely no spiritual action! Conversely, Yeshua "is resurrected to life" inside of you each time you are crying out to Him, internally thinning itself to the Kli Keter of your current condition! And then He helps: heals and performs miracles in you! 5 Five phases of the Liberator 1. The Name Yeshua I’m going to tell you things you won’t hear or read anywhere else. There is no rabbi in this world that has received this information because only now it is the right time to pass it on from above to the ones willing to listen and prepared to strive for their complete fulfillment. This is the right time because this is the moment when each one of us is standing on the threshold of the complete liberation. The ultimate ending will be there very soon. To me is given the eternal teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven. This teaching is a structural part of the general teaching. It is part of the process to liberate the human being of his evil habit. Death will no longer exist and we will achieve the eternal existence… to the creating thought of the Creator. All of this is part of the true teaching of the Lurianic Kabbalah. There is no interest in me why it is given to me and not to others. I open myself because I’m the one who needs this lot. A person always has to be prepared to say: “hineini” - here I am, take advantage of me because I’m prepared to fulfill what has to be fulfilled”. That’s why I say once again: there is no one here on earth, no spiritual leader, clergyman, rabbi, minister, priest or guru who knows or did know or feel or felt this. If a pope heard about this he would be immensely happy. If Moshe could hear this he would rise from his grave, from the unknown place where he is buried. The very Shimon bar Yochai, the author of the holy book Zohar, also would be immensely happy if he heard what I’m going to tell you. He would scream “at last I didn’t write the Zohar for nothing”. And the last teacher I had – Ari would be very relieved and say: “finally there is someone who understands me”. Without false or socalled modesty I can say this because all the wisdom I receive isn’t from me. I pass on what is given to me. It is for you to use it in your daily work, to practice it in your daily work. In earlier days one was not ready but now the time is right. It is written: “And the whole world will know that You are HaShem”. The reason for all the learning you do is to achieve your salvation. I have made a drawing. It’s a drawing every wise person from the past had dreamt about, from the patriarch Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’akov until now. Each person who wants to come to his wholeness has this dream otherwise he wouldn’t strive for happiness. Everything is in conformity with His creating thought. This is what I want to emphasize so you will read with full attention and with the right intention. The most important thing is – don’t struggle!! Know there will be no comprehension after one time reading. You will go forward gradually, everything in conformity with your personal comprehension. With great satisfaction I show you the solution of the spiritual puzzle. The time was and is pressing to come to the solution of this spiritual puzzle otherwise how can we come to a full connection with the Creator? I have done in my life things that were impossible and possible only to come to the experience of what we call life and to receive salvation. And I have received!! Already in this first lesson you can see it. Look with the utmost attention to the next drawing and later I will explain it to you. 6 Einsof In Yeshua is his Father embedded (the middle line) Testimony of Yeshua: The little dot of yud of kli ישוע Yeshua (from Nazareth) My name is Mashiach: Kli keter שמי משיח שof Shimon, מof Moshe, יof Yitzhak Gem. 386 + 4 letters = 390 Son of G’d/ Son of men The teachings of the kingdom of ste heaven/ 1 stone tablets. halls locks/entrees 40 Moshe שof Yeshua His own input is = מ''ה45 Moshe משה kli daat In him is the letter יwith the little dot of yud of Yeshua Confidant in the house of Hashem de The Torah/ 2 stone tablets.

Keep this drawing in your memory and look now and then to it. It’s a drawing considering the receiving of the light, as well in the common as in the special, given to the human being till the end of the fulfillment of the Creation. It’s the first time ever such a drawing has been made. I want to stress out the importance of this drawing therefore look carefully at it. First I want to say a few words. During the lessons I received questions of my students about how is it possible that Yeshua from Nazareth came later then Moshe in chronological order? You see the name of Yeshua written in his original language, it’s very important to see names and some words in the holy language - the Hebrew - because the truth lies within the Holy letters. I will make use of the true names and I want to qualify their meaning. First a few words about the name Yeshua from Nazareth. In Christianity the name Jesus is valid and comes from the Greek translation of the Septuagint. First there was the Latin translation and later all other languages followed. The old Greek language didn’t have sibilants for example ‘sh’ therefore they replaced the ‘sh’ sibilant into the ‘s’. You can recognize a Greek word because traditional a Greek word ends with “os” and later on the Roman made of ‘os’ – ‘us’ so His name became Jesus. The New Testament is written in the Greek language that’s why all other nations said Jesus instead of Yeshua. Because the name Jesus came in existence the original intrinsic strength of the name Yeshua was lost. One used and still uses the thought of his name as a saving strength. This thought came from them who weren’t Jews. Jewish people named him Yosha. This name isn’t correct either. In the Hebrew alphabet we have vowels reflected in dots nekudah. Beneath the letter shin there is the vowel named kubutz ֻ and when you see these three dots in this order ֻ know it is the vowel – u -. In this is a very deep secret: his name was Yosha in the period when there was no revealing of Yeshua, or there was no one to whom could be revealed as Yeshua. Why? In a way this sound of ‘u’ isn’t a letter only a nekudah, a vowel. As you know only the consonants are used in the holy language with the meaning of carriers or kelim that are in conformity with the Universal Strengths. There is a great mystery in this holy name Yeshua. When this name is concealed one sees his’ name without the letter wav ו. One only sees the nekudah kubutz ֻ that’s why one read this name as Yosha. Only when Yeshua reveals himself to a human being he has the letter wav ו. This letter wav וshows a condition considering a zivug interaction with the high light. But later I will tell you a lot more. Moreover the Jewish people saw and see the name Yeshua as the founder of the Christian religion. But Yeshua didn’t do anything considering this. It is a historic event without any involvement of Yeshua. There is an inexplicable hate within the soul of many Jewish people considering the Jew Yeshua. In a way the name Yosha is a nickname or pet name of the name Yeshua. Maybe his mother used this name when he was a little child. But by making use of a pet name one sees himself still as someone who is small. His correct name is Yeshua; therefore from now on I only use Yeshua because this is his true name - Yeshua. Some Jewish people call him joshke. At the end of this word they added ‘ke’. It seems as a pet name but in truth it is something as a joke and we don’t do this!! Whether you are a Jew or not, all of you will learn from this book the real meaning of the name Yeshua. For them who are interested to come to fulfillment I show them it isn’t possible to come to fulfillment without this name Yeshua. For now this is enough about the name Yeshua. Especially in Christian religion it is a tradition to make use of capitals when one uses pronounces in relation with the name 8 Yeshua, I don’t do this. When I speak about him I don’t write his name with a capital, on the contrary to Christians. For them the name Yeshua is as G’d. But you have to come to the understanding and knowing this name Yeshua is the highest Keter within the human souls. The sfirah keter, even the highest Keter belongs to both: to the Creator and to the Creation. Both components are within: the nitzutz spark of the Creator and the nitzutz spark of the nivra creation and when I use the word combination of the ‘high Keter” I use the capital in the word Keter to distinguish between the high Keter with the lower keter of the souls. There is a Hebrew saying Yesh mi-Yesh – the existing from the existing” and when I talk about this of course I will use a capital, for example the name HaShem, HaVaYa’H, Elokim, the High light etc. As I have said before the meaning of the name Yeshua is ‘liberation, salvation’. Within this holy name lies the strength of salvation of the high Keter – there is absolutely no aviyut in the high Keter. But in the second chapter (Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven) that deals with the sayings of Yeshua towards the people, you can see, the pronouns indicating Yeshua, I do begin with a capital letter. That is, when I refer of Yeshua, then I write "Him" or "His" etc., because Yeshua is the highest Keter of the human souls. And also because Yeshua is His only Son, I begin there all references also to the name Yeshua with a capital letter. Warning – within all lessons, e-books, explanations and what I offer and will offer in the near future to my students and readers at two of our websites remember this: I NEVER SPEAK A WORD ABOUT PHYSICAL NATIONS, PEOPLE, RELIGIONS, GROUPS, and PERSONS etc.!! When I use words as Jew, Christian, Moshe, the pope, a rabbi, a guru and even Yeshua, I only mean the corresponding spiritual conditions because everything is within one being. This material world isn’t the subject of the Lurian Kabbalah; I only keep myself busy with the high spiritual roots of this world. All my students know and understand this principle but you dear reader have to learn this. To make no longer any associative imagines with or behind my words you need a lot of effort. You have to put this deep in your heart; I never speak about a human being of flesh and blood, about groups or institutions of this world. Liberate yourself of whatever associative imagines you have. From my side there won’t be any reaction about questions considering this subject. I go deeper – I don’t take any responsibility for a wrong interpretation of spiritual concepts, phenomena and processes you can come across in the e-books and lessons. Therefore once again: all the words I speak aren’t about our world. 9 2. Yeshua was before Moshe How is this possible? I will explain it to you very profoundly in this lesson. You need a deep understanding of this otherwise you can’t make sense of what I have written down and will write down. His correct name is Yeshua. You will see it all fits within the strengths of all these letters of the Name in five stages. Look once more to the first drawing: Yeshua is keter; Moshe is daat - the middle line. Always the light comes down by way of the middle line. I have written down: Yeshua from Nazareth, Moses Moshe, שמעוןShimon bar Yochai the author of the Zohar, יצחקYitzchak Luria or ARI and the last is משיחMashiach, the liberator. In this you see the coming down of the whole light, all the five stages coming from the Kingdom of Heaven to our world. They are the kelim of the middle line as well in the general as in the particular. Within these kelim the light enters. Within kelim comes light. In which kli did the first light come? In which kli comes the light at first? Of course in keter. Even in the general, in humanity the light came at first in Yeshua the high Keter. There is no other way; the light always comes by way of the middle line. First the light entered in Yeshua then the light descended to Moshe. First the light nefesh, the lowest light came in the kli of Yeshua, the kli of keter. It doesn’t matter where the kli keter is, it means the strength of Yeshua. Put this in your heart. Not only that; stay concentrated because what you here are reading isn’t to be found anywhere else. What you see here will give you insight in what we are doing. The question is – why do we say Yeshua is the first one although we see he came in chronological order after Moshe? Even Paul said that he was before Moshe. But Paul couldn’t explain this because he didn’t have the knowledge about the sfirot. The revealing of the sfirot came later. That’s why he couldn’t explain clearly why Yeshua was before Moshe. Paul couldn’t explain it but intuitively he knew Yeshua was before Moshe. He lacked the information of the sfirot but we have the sfirot and you will see how easy and genius it is. You have to know: what is divine is simply genius, contrary to the intellectual that is very complicated. And the latter is the destiny of the lower being. Only after Moshe who received the Torah the manifestation of Yeshua came here on earth. But what is the reason why chronologically Yeshua came after Moshe while we say Yeshua is before Moshe? Roughly Yeshua came here 2000 years ago during the period of the end of the second temple. In a way the receiving of the Torah took place a while before. How is this possible? For he/she who is learning Kabbalah for quite a long time he/she can give an answer by one self. You know already a lot about the sfirot! How can we explain this? Of course from the point of view of the spiritual itself. You already know everything has ten sfirot or in other words five stages, five kelim. When humanity was ready to receive the High Light the Light entered first in the kli Yeshua, the high Keter. There is no other possibility for the High Light then to enter in the thinnest kli and that’s the Keter in the middle line. Make that some sense for you? In this way the Light was revealed for the first time by way of the kli Yeshua. This is the light nefesh. Accordingly the High Light came in the kli of Moshe. The light nefesh descended within the kli of Moshe via daat of the middle line while in the kli Yeshua entered the light ruach. When we speak about the kli keter know this is a kli with the quality of Yeshua the Sfirah keter. How does this fit in the name of ?יהוהIs the kli keter the letter yud? No – the kli keter or Yeshua is the dot of the letter yud of the name יהוהor the name 10 HaShem – ‘ה. The second kli, the letter yud יof the name יהוהis Moshe who is the kli daat because daat is in the middle line but in a way it is as chochmah – the yud יof the name יהוה. The kli tiferet or Shimon bar Yochai שמעוןis the first letter hey הof the name יהוה. The kli yesod or Yitzhak יצחקis the letter vav וof the name יהוה. And the kli malchut or משיחMashiach is the second letter hey הof the name יהוה. Every spiritual object has four stages, in a way there is in everything the name יהוהHaVaYa’H. In everything is יהוהand in our case יהוהis in the middle line. I already gave you a hint about Yeshua being the strength of the dot of the letter yud and the strength of Moshe being the yud. But how can we see in this that Yeshua is before Moshe? Think about this. Think about the yud and the dot of the yud. What is the smallest letter in the alphabet? The dot of the yud isn’t a letter. The smallest manifestation of the light here on earth is yud. In this small letter is present the aviyut of the name יהוה, the strength of יהוהis present in here in the yud but the dot of the yud isn’t a letter… pay attention because this is absolutely unique what I’m now going to tell you, you can’t find this anywhere. There is no document, no paper, no pope, no apostle or other saints who had the right words. Neither a kabbalist could put this into words. But what I’m going to tell you is the one and only true salvation!! What is the indication of the dot of the yud? It is the connection because keter always is the representative of the Creator, of the Light. Keter has in himself two parts: an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the keter is the spark of the Creator nitzutz Boreh. This is manifest in the name Yeshua. How did one name him? He is named the son of G’d. Now you see this indicates to the upper part of Keter. Expressed in religious terms this is “the son of G’d”. It is the expression of the upper part of the highest Keter Yeshua. And in Kabbalah this is named nitzutz Boreh – the spark of the Creator within the keter. Only in keter there is this spark. All other sfirot don’t have this nitzutz. The lower part of the keter is named nitzutz nivra – this is the spark of creation within keter. This is another name of Yeshua. When you look in the New Testament you will see it is written about Yeshua he is ‘the son of man”. Two names and who does know the difference? Why had Yeshua these two seemingly opposite names? There was and is no person or saint who knew this only we here in Kabbalah have insight in this. I don’t pride myself but what I’m going to tell you is unique, for the first time it will be manifest for everyone. What I’m going to tell you is for each person. What I reveal to you isn’t to be found in neither America, nor Israel or in Rome. It is given to me. I have the permission to disclose it and to pass it on. I don’t give lectures because I can’t speak from myself. Only in small groups just as it is now I can pass on. I have found the salvation and pass it on to you. Yes indeed I have found the absolute salvation just as Yeshua did and because of him… he has become my greatest teacher. Only in my special particular condition I have received salvation. Yeshua could bring salvation to whole mankind but every person has this special particular strength. Now you know you too have this strength therefore pay attention and grab your chance!! Keter is divided in two parts and Yeshua had these two parts within himself. He had the upper part of the keter – the son of G’d. With this part Yeshua divided himself from the people. Now you see that indeed Yeshua stood above humanity because of this quality – his upper part of the keter. Why has keter two parts? One is connected with the Creator and the other is connected with the creation. Otherwise how could the creation receive light? Creation is the wish to receive while the light – the Creator - is the wish ‘only to give’. And within 11 keter there are these two parts. It is written in the New Testament “the son of man”. Now you know this has to do with the lower part of Yeshua, the lower part of keter in relation with the creation. Every keter is the strength of Yeshua. Don’t struggle!! Neither from the outside nor from the inside because when you do so you have lost the most unique opportunity for salvation. And this is meant for everyone!! While you are reading stay in contact with you inner self and later when you close this e-book you can think about it and what you think is up to you. But while you are reading stay in contact with your inner and don’t struggle. The things that are going to happen will be enormous because you will receive something you can’t receive anywhere else; there is no place where you can buy this. When it is written Yeshua is “the son of G’d” know it is his connection with the EinSof, with the Father, with HaVaYa’H יהוה. What is the difference between the Light and the Father? In earlier days we couldn’t see this but it is one and the same. EinSof, Light is what we name “the existence out of the existence”. The Father is EinSof embedded in the high Keter. When Yeshua speaks about the Father he speaks about the embedding of the High Light within the upper part of the high Keter. This is the embedding of the Father – of the High Light within Yeshua. 12 3. What brought Yeshua in this world? What brought Yeshua in this world? With this I don’t mean what Yeshua brought into the past, into history but something that last for ever. He brought the teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven. Who can come to the Kingdom of Heaven? Is there something more than the high Keter who knows what the Kingdom of Heaven is? Who besides the high Keter does know about this? The word Heaven is in the holy language written in plural שמים. Most of the time it is translated as heavens but in reality it is heaven. The meaning of Heaven is ‘that what is above’ what is outside the kelim. Thus everything what’s exterior is kelim. There is the middle line: daat, tiferet, yesod and malchut, all of them are kelim with aviyut. It is impossible for kelim with aviyut to be the Kingdom of Heaven. With the lower kelim it is possible to build up masach and by way of this one can come to the keter. What is the teaching? The essence of the teaching of Yeshua isn’t the New Testament. When I speak about Yeshua I speak about the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. The New Testaments only describes the words of Yeshua. The message of Yeshua is incorporated in the New Testament. With this I mean the acts, the deeds of the apostles. All of this belongs to the religion of Christianity. I don’t interfere myself with this! I have respect for Christianity in the same way I have respect for the Jewish religion but I don’t speak about religion! When I speak about Yeshua I don’t speak about the New Testament. When I speak about the Torah I don’t speak about the Jewish religion. Place this in your heart –Kabbalah speaks about the Holy Spirit. Our task is to let the Holy Spirit penetrate our being, that is our task and not to occupy ourselves with traditions or other earthly interpretations of divinity. Keter is the first and thinnest kli, always. Wherever you see keter know he is the first and the thinnest because keter doesn’t have aviyut. Therefore only via keter one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Did Yeshua not say “only through me one can come to the light of the Father”? When you come to the upper part of the high Keter you have reached the Father because the Father is embedded within the upper part of the high Keter. When Yeshua spoke about his Father he meant the embedding of the Light within the kli of the high Keter; this is the place where the Father is embedded. He also said “I do the same as my Father does, that’s what I do”. This was possible for Yeshua because he was the complete keter. He didn’t have aviyut belonging to the lower aviyut. Please pay attention in what you are going to read now. Read with the right intention and you will know, you will understand the inns and outs of the spiritual. When Yeshua appeared for the first time what was the light he had? He only had the light nefesh. Before Yeshua was here on earth there was no other light than the light nefesh. Pay attention! It isn’t possible to pass on the light nefesh because the light nefesh is feminine. Only when there is the light ruach it is possible to pass on light. Nefesh is a feminine light and one only can receive this feminine light but not pass it on! Keter is the dot of the letter יyud. Yud is the smallest letter, the smallest kli. Only from yud starts the creation. Yeshua wasn’t a kli only the dot of a kli. Therefore before Moshe brought the Torah one couldn’t see Yeshua. Before Moshe received the Torah it was impossible to see the light nefesh. The light nefesh was given to humanity, the light nefesh was already descended but there was absolutely no one who could see it. The light nefesh already appeared but there was no person who could receive 13 this light before there was the receiving of the Torah. This only becomes possible by way of the letter yud י. Yud יis the first letter, the first design of a kli for the receiving of the light. And the beginning of the letter yud יis the dot of the yudֹ . Therefore Yeshua could manifest himself for the first time after the receiving of the Torah, after the coming of Moshe. Not only that we also see in chronological order Yeshua came after some time in a physical body in this world. Why? How could he manifest himself? - Because in creation were two lights already. We say the light nefesh came into the world when Yeshua came but the light nefesh was in existence already. Only when Moshe brought down the Torah, when the Torah came in manifestation the second light of ruach came in existence because the Torah is the light ruach. Together with the light nefesh came the light ruach. Now we have two kelim, the kli of keter and the kli of chochmah. This is kli daat in the middle line who has two lights: light nefesh that descend to the kli of Moshe and the light ruach that enters in the kli Yeshua. This is the reason why Yeshua came after Moshe. There is another reference in the Torah telling us the teaching of Yeshua came before the teaching of the Torah. How can you see the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven is above in the Torah, meaning before the receiving of the Torah that Moshe gave at the nation of Israel? First Moshe went to the mountain and he came down with the first tables of stone. What happened with those tables of stone? Moshe shattered them down. That’s why he had to climb up again to receive the second tables of stone. The first tables of stone were the Teaching of Yeshua, the Teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a way it was very ‘logical’ Moshe brought down these tables of stone. The Teaching of Yeshua isn’t the New Testament but the Teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. Yeshua processed in his teaching all the shining of the First design of the Tables of Stone in the new things he had said. Only later in reply of his pronunciations about his Teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven, one partial wrote down how the Kingdom of Heaven would look and how a person could enter. However the whole Teaching was written down in the first tables of stones. What is the meaning of the breaking? This means the High Keter had to manifest Him self in the thereupon next phase. What Moshe did was to bring down the open Torah of the level of the kli daat. Accordingly the light had to descend to a lower, another kelim because the Creator wanted more than only the Keter. It was in the plan of the Creator that eventually the light would come down completely, from the keter to the malchut. The next step is the step of שמעון בר יוחאיShimon bar Yochai who brought down the secret Torah. But first let us look carefully to Moshe. It isn’t said about Moshe he was the son of people nor the son of G’d. One only speaks about the son of G’d or about the son of people when one speaks about Yeshua. What is said about Moshe? That Moshe was a confidant. He was a confidant in the house of ‘ה. What is the house of ‘ ?הHow many walls have a house? Four. What is the house of ‘ ה ? יהוה. Never make connections with the material. Not only that – brake away from whatever religion have your interest, from whatever testament there is, free yourself from whatever holds you tied. We have no interest in testaments. The Creator has nothing to do with testaments: either with the ‘old’ or with the ‘new’ testament. It was the Christian synods and the Jewish Sanhedrin’s great meetings that proclaimed the testaments. Of course this was good too but their goal is to have the institutional power over the social, over the community, over cultures and societies. All good things, listen carefully to what I say, it isn’t wrong but it has nothing to do with the real spiritual. It can’t rescue you. I speak about the personal salvation. Churches and synagogues etc. they are all good for the outer being. For them who are still 14 connected with their exterior and who want to hold on to this. But the real salvation of the human being…. forget it! They can’t bring salvation because salvation is an individual process. Now we live in the time of the coming of the Mashiach. Now we have to be very careful with our emotions, don’t let yourself oppressed by your emotions. Whatever the emotions are you have to be very carefully. Let me continue… it was Moshe who brought down the second tablets of stones. This is the open Torah and this open Torah is given via the kli of daat. What is in the kli daat? In the kli daat there’s right and left. In keter there wasn’t right or left. In the highest unity of the keter, of Yeshua we see there is no right or left. This is what Kabbalah shows us. In keter everything is one. The human being and the Creator are as one. But the Creator hadn’t the intention to stay only in the kli keter. It is in His intention to bring down the light all the way to malchut because malchut is the real creation. That is what malchut is – the real creation. Keter isn’t the creation. The goal of the creation is Malchut. Between two kelim there are locks and entrances. After Moshe the light descended further via the middle line to tiferet, that’s the secret Torah. Later I will explain more about the names you see in the first drawing. I will show you how marvelous it is. How the holy letters are interwoven in this. The next phase is Yitzchak Luria לוריא יצחק. The light had to come down further to yesod. Yesod is kli Yitzchak Luria. He has draw up the whole structure of The Tree of Life’s. The Tree of Life’s is z’a, the same as the Torah is z’a. This is the descending of the light to the malchut. And the last will be the name of Mashiach the Redeemer. 15 4. I’m the first and the last Let us now look at the deeper meaning of the Hebrew letters, in the names of the bearer’s merkavah of the five kelim in the middle line. It’s exactly the same in every human being as well in the common as in the special aspect. In us always the keter is the strength of Yeshua, always the strength of the Kingdom of Heaven. In us Moshe is daat the strength of the open Torah. Every human being has the strength of Moshe. Tiferet always is the strength of the Zohar - the secret Torah, and it was ןשמעוShimon bar Yochai who brought this down. And by way of יצחקAR”I came down the strength of the Tree of Life’s meaning the light came to yesod. And at the end – and this will be very soon – comes the strength of the Mashiach the Redeemer in his second appearance but now he will be enriched with the four former stages, in all the glory of HaVaYa’H. Look at the names of the first drawing: Yeshua is the name of Keter. Yeshua has the numerical value of 390: י yud is ten, שshin is 300, וwav is 6, עayin is 70 – together 386. Plus the four letters 390. Why do we add these four letters? In keter we add up as well the numerical value as the number of letters - the four letters of the name יהוהso 386 plus these four letters makes 390. This is the strength of Yeshua. You can see this as a strength having 390 units. The next step is daat. This is the name of Moshe and when you read the name Moshe don’t think about the person named Moshe. Never, not even for one moment think about the person only see this name as strength. This strength is given to someone here on earth, someone who manifests himself as Moshe. Don’t have interest in the person of Moshe only in the strength of Moshe. It’s the same with Michael Portnaar. Don’t have interest in who he is. Only have interest in what comes down via Michael but the person Michael has nothing to do with it. May be there is something in my name ‘Michael’. Michael means mi-cha-el who is as G’d. I only speak about the Creator but in me there is nothing; I don’t have special qualities or a character trait that has anything to do with my teaching and passing on in Kabbalah. Look carefully to the name Moshe. Look closely and see the name of Moshe. There is a lot hidden within the names and when you look carefully a lot will given to you. There is nothing in the lower what doesn’t exist in the higher. What there is from Moshe till the Mashiach, it has to be inevitable present in the Keter because everything comes from Keter. Are you agreeing with this? The lower can’t have what the higher doesn’t have. A higher gives at the lower. What a higher doesn’t have he can’t pass it on to a lower. Therefore in the name of Yeshua all the four other names have to be present. Yeshua has to manifest himself in Moshe because without Yeshua there wouldn’t be Moshe. Without Yeshua and Moshe there wouldn’t be Shimon bar Yochai. Without Yeshua, Moshe and Shimon there wouldn’t be יצחקYitzchak Luria AR”I. And without these four the Mashiach can’t come. Now we have five stages of the Redeemer and there is nothing more. Now look carefully to the Hebrew letters of these names. Look at the name of Moshe. Compare this name with the name of Yeshua. Which letters are in agreement? Both names carry the שshin. In a way Moshe received the shin of Yeshua. Always there has to be something in the lower that has to be present in the higher in this case Keter. The letters מmem and הhey are from Moshe - daat him self. This is the name מ’הma’h. Ma’h is the name of z’a – the open Torah. This is what Moshe brought with him because the שshin Moshe had from Yeshua. What you have to do is take away the letter שshin of the name Moshe because this letter he received from Yeshua. Now the 16 question is what is the contribution of Moshe? Those are the letters מmem and הhey. מis the first letter of his name and הthe last letter. מand הaren’t present in the name of Yeshua. Why aren’t they present in Yeshua? Of course potential they are but the work Moshe did was to deepen the light of keter to the kli of daat. This he had done by way of these two letters מand הof his’ name. The numerical value of מand 45 = ה. This same number is the numerical value of the word Adam אדם- what means human in his earthly significance. What is the human being in his earthly significance? What are the characteristics of the human being? A human being has the male and the female, right and left. This begins with Moshe, with daat. In daat you see the beginning of the experience of these two aspects: right and left. We don’t have this in Yeshua. This is one of the reasons why Christians saw and see Yeshua as G’d because his upper part is connected with the divine. Can you see this? Do you still remember the upper part of the keter is named the son of G’d and the bottom of keter is named ‘human’ – the son of man. That’s why man saw and see him as G’d because his upper part was as G’d. They saw and see him as G’d and as a human being together. This isn’t so odd because the Creator gave at the Christians also something namely Goodness and Mercy from His inner. This is marvellous. Please notice: in every religion is hidden a true element. Don’t think religion is as opium for the people, to provide them spiritual soft drugs. This is why so many people, whole nations, whole groups are so attached on religion. The kind of religion doesn’t matter. So the contribution of Moshe was the מand the ה. Now we go further with the name of Shimon bar Yochai. For us only the first name is important, in this case Shimon who had written the holy Zohar. From whom has שמעוןShimon the ?שThe שcomes from Yeshua and from the name Moshe. The מin his names comes from Moshe. The עhe has from the name Yeshua also the letter ו. Now you can see שמעוןShimon has three letters of Yeshua. More secrets of the Torah are revealed by way of Shimon. Can you see this? Three letters of Yeshua are revealed in the name of Shimon bar Yochai. What is the contribution of Shimon? That is the letter נnun. Why nun? Nun has the numerical value of fifty and with his writing of the Zohar he created a small opening of the 50 th gate. Not completely open but the gate is left ajared. This refers to the letter nun. Then the next one comes. The light descended further to below to the yesod. Yesod is יצחק לוריאYitzchak Luria, AR”I. His first name is יצחק. The same name as from יצחקthe son of Avraham. The destination of a human being is given in his first name. Let us look at the name of יצחק. The first letter of his name is י yud – chochmah. He has the יfrom Yeshua. The other three letters are his contribution. When you look at the remaining three letters צחקyou see a word with the essence of ‘laughing’. The laughter has come with him. Laughter means joy pleasure etc. Why – because the salvation is near. The salvation Yeshua spoke about. With the arriving of יצחק Yitzchak the four lights have come into the world. The fourth is wa’k, not ga’r although we say the fourth light has entered. This is his contribution. The last light will come with Mashiach. The meaning of Mashiach is ‘he who attracts”. Who is Mashiach? Of course this is Yeshua. The Mashiach or malchut can’t be someone else, because in the name of Mashiach is the name of Yeshua - in the keter, only in keter. I give you a good advice – repeat this lesson as much as possible, do it a thousand times. Visualize this lesson. Nowhere in the whole world you can find such an important lesson!! This is so important because in this you have the absolute salvation. This is the 17 spiritual puzzle already solved for whole humanity. There is no interest in me how many people can hear or read this – one is enough!! The revealing of this puzzle had to go in public now in this time. It’s given to me. The fifth stage, the final stage is of course Mashiach, the Redeemer. The first stage of the Redeemer is Yeshua. In a way in every of these five stages there is the same Redeemer. The stage of the Redeemer in the kli keter is the first appearance of Yeshua here on earth. What is written about him? We are learning this too: “he is a poor soul sitting on a donkey”. Why is he sitting on a donkey? We already learned this in the holy Zohar in the mamar of Rav Menuna Saba. He appeared at those two travellers. On which way – he too was sitting on a donkey. Baal HaSulam explains this to us; he says a ‘donkey’ is the condition of ibur what means creation. That was the ibur of the Redeemer when Yeshua appeared for the first time. The appearance of Yeshua was so normal one couldn’t see he was so important. He too was sitting on a donkey. Why was he sitting on a donkey? His appearance was the first appearance to human mankind with the light nefesh and as we know nefesh is the lowest light. That’s why the first appearance was so shabby. After Yeshua came Moshe. What is the meaning when we say the appearance of Moshe or the second stage of the Redeemer comes? Is there some extra for the kli of Yeshua? Yes, ruach. In a way there is enrichment in Yeshua. With the coming of Moshe there is more glory of the name HaShem for Yeshua. Has a paradox appeared between Yeshua and Moshe? No because they are all the same only Moshe is the second appearance of the Redeemer. Of course Moshe isn’t the Redeemer self. Moshe is an addition in the Redeemer who is keter. Everything comes from keter. What Moshe did was to attract the light further down to our world so the light ruach came here on earth. Who did received the light ruach - Yeshua or keter received the light ruach. But is the Keter then the whole point? - Keter is the crown. What is the meaning of the Creation? The light completely has to come to malchut. Eventually malchut, the lowest kli, needs the light nefesh and when this happens in the kli of Yeshua will enter the light of yechidah. Eventually all splendour comes in the kli of Yeshua, in the name of Yeshua when he appears for the second time in the gmar tikun. Gmar tikun is the last correction, when the light completely descends to the malchut. What will happen? All the five lights will be on their own place. When this day comes HaShem and His Name will be one. The meaning of HaShem is light filling the kelim and His name means the kelim self. Only then there will be oneness between light and kelim. What does this mean? Every kli will receive his corresponding light. For example the kli of malchut, or the Mashiach will have the light nefesh and in the kli yesod or Yitzchak will have the light ruach. Etc. Eventually the kli keter or Yeshua will have the light yechidah, which will be the second appearance. It is also written and these are the words of Yeshua: “At the second appearance you will see the manifestation of the son of G’d in all his splendour in heaven”. He describes this to his students too. Let us now look to the letters of the name Mashiach. The letter מof Mashiach, or malchut comes from Moshe, the letter שcomes from Shimon and the יcomes from Yeshua. These three letters of the name Mashiach are the first letters of the former names. His last letter, the letter חfrom Mashiach is the third letter of the name !יצחקThere is a difference, why? We look at this later. For now you can see very clear all the names are connected and not only that, this is a causal connection. There is another hint pointing out to the same and that is ‘everything what exists in keter exists inevitably in the rest of the creation or in all lower kelim’. Keter is the highest step considering the four lowest sfirot, in our case the four kelim seen 18 from daat till malchut. This is a fact and is also effective in the special aspect of the lowest kelim itself: the first letter of a name has in itself everything what is to be seen in the next letters of that name. You could say the first letter dominates and represent everything what is in the rest of the word. It doesn’t matter if there is no agreement with the numerical value. Remember the first letter has everything in itself, always. Now let us look at the four stages of the name Yeshua. We have the name of Moshe; the first letter of Moshe is the letter מwith the numerical value of 40. The next name is the name of Shimon with the first letter ש. שhas the numerical value of 300. Then we see Yitzchak with the first letter יand יis 10. And the last one is the Mashiach with the first letter mem 40 – מ Now let us add these four numbers: osheM משה, with the first letter מ 40 שמעון, Shimon with the first letter ש 300 יצחק, Yitzchak with the first letter י 10 Mashiach משיח, with the firs letter מ 40 + 390 The name of Yeshua has the numerical value of 386 with the four letters = 390. You already learned to count the number of letters of keter, therefore + four. There are five kelim, always. In these kelim enters the light. These are the kelim of the middle line and not the kelim beside the middle line. Beside the middle we have the work of right and left but the light always comes via the middle line. We speak about ten kelim but at the end the whole meaning of our work is to develop the five kelim of the middle line. Of course we have work to do in right and left – for example the chochmah and binah and between them Moshe or daat but in the middle line the light enters in our kelim by way of our kli daat. The Torah manifests itself by way of the kli daat. And we have to develop our kli keter by way of the Teaching of the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’, etc. The place of absolute oneness is in keter. Keter has neither right nor left only mercy in his purest form. Now you see why Yeshua was only mercy. There is absolutely no severity din in keter. It was Yeshua who brought mercy with him. What was/is the message of Yeshua? The first kli you enter is the kli of Yeshua. First you have to come to Yeshua. By way of Yeshua you can come into the Kingdom of Heaven because only within the upper part of Yeshua or keter there’s the Father. There is no other way to come to the Father Yeshua said. He said: “no one can come to the Father otherwise then by way of his son, only the son knows whose the Father”. Only the son knows his Father and no one knows the son except the Father. Only the Father knows who his son is and to whom he can manifest himself, to Yeshua the son. Clear? Why is it impossible to come to the Father? You have to come first to Yeshua because the Father is only within him. Within the high Keter there’s the Father. Yeshua had a lot of objections against the Pharisees and the Sadducees, why? Listen carefully. Of course the Pharisees and the Sadducees aren’t 19 important because they couldn’t receive light, absolutely not. They only received some shining of the light of nefesh and ruach. When one doesn’t accept the kli of Keter know it is impossible to receive light. For instance look at the Jewish people, Moshe taught them the open torah. Without Yeshua they can’t receive light and come to salvation. Moshe is the kli daat. Daat means knowledge. Moshe brought the knowledge of the Only G’d in this world. For us knowledge means right and left, this is the true knowledge. Moshe brought down the Torah, he brought daat down to humanity. But he couldn’t bring down the Torah to daat without passing the keter. The consequence of this is that everyone who learns the open Torah has to pass keter just as Moshe did, due to this everyone has to accept ‘the Kingdom of Heaven’. When one doesn’t accept this know you will stay without salvation just as the Jewish nation. The salvation comes to you by way of the high Keter who has the light and in the light is embedded the Father. Of course everything comes from EinSof. ‘Father’ is the embedding of the EinSof within the kli keter. You can see this as a kind of roughening for the sake of creation. The creation is the wish to receive, is there another way for the creation to endure EinSof? That’s why EinSof carries the name of HaVaYa’H in his capacity as Creator – as the Father of creation. This refers to the four stages of the light, from high to low, and EinSof touched them all so He could stay in contact forever with creation. He who doesn’t accept the high Keter doesn’t accept the keter within him. Is there another way to receive the high light? No. It was Yeshua who came with a happy message, he said: “the Kingdom of Heaven is near”. What does this mean? He meant to say: ‘accept me, accept the high Keter than all of you will have permission to come to the Father, my Father, because no one can come to the Father then through me. Only by way of Yeshua one can meet the Father who is embedded in him. Now you can see the problem of this nation. What are they doing? They accept Moshe, they accept the open Torah, the second tables of stone but they refuse to receive the keter. This is way they can’t go through the locks and entrances that are above them to ascend to the keter and receive their salvation. Above them, above Moshe, above the kli daat there are the locks. But as long the Jewish people don’t accept Yeshua they neither accept the “Kingdom of Heaven”. And as a result the locks above them stay locked. For them heaven is locked. Not only that, beneath them there is Shimon who is the sfirah tiferet in the middle line and that’s the secret Torah, the Kabbalah. They also refuse to learn this although formally they have declared the Zohar as holy, still they don’t learn it. And they who are learning it they do it in a way it doesn’t help them or bring them salvation. Therefore they can’t accept it. And the worst thing is they don’t have interest to change. Now they have locked themselves double! Can you understand this? Yeshua spoke with them about this, he said: “open the locks, open the entrance and come to me, through me you will receive salvation”. The salvation comes from above can you see this? Even in the sfirah of Shimon of tiferet there was the ongoing manifestation of the light in the secrets of the Torah but they couldn’t accept this either. Look around you and there is not one orthodox Jew who occupies himself with the secrets of the Torah. Of course they value the Torah but they do not touch it. Therefore from above and from below the locks are closed. Heaven is closed and from below they are closed that’s why it is named ‘double closed’. Why do I tell you this? So you will know very clearly there is no other way for the Jewish people to receive salvation before they accept Yeshua in deep consciousness and love for the truth. Please understand they don’t have to accept 20 Christianity, not at all. Christianity is also shortness so why should they go from shortness to shortness, from sickness to sickness. What is the sickness of the Jew? They are double locked. And the sickness of Christianity – they only see Yeshua on the cross and as someone who paid all their debts. They only receive the shining of the light nefesh from heaven. When the main entrance is locked know all other locks are closed too. What are the locks they have? The first lock is beneath the keter, the lock of Moshe the open Torah. In Christianity is something of the Torah. They too accept the Torah of Moshe but they don’t learn it. So the way further to below is unknown for them. Do you understand this? They only have the shining of the light nefesh and a little bit of the open Torah, of the light ruach. That’s all while the true salvation is via the five stages. In Christianity one speaks about salvation but this isn’t the true salvation only the beginning of the salvation and this beginning isn’t enough. Instead of going beyond the understanding one speaks about the cross and ‘penance’. This is the opposite of the positive message of Yeshua. He said that one has to go beyond his understanding otherwise there isn’t the possibility to come in the Kingdom of Heaven. By way of ‘penance’ it is impossible to come to the Kingdom of Heaven. When one sees the Redeemer as someone who has died on the cross because of our sins it is impossible to come to a true salvation. It isn’t enough my beloved Christian brothers and sisters! This is only the beginning of the salvation. Of course everything is within the high Keter and in the stage of Yeshua - there is the beginning and the end of the salvation. He said: “I’m אalef and I’m תtav”, or in our language ‘I’m the first and the last’. This means Yeshua will manifest himself in the Mashiach. So you see it all fits but you have to remember just Yeshua doesn’t give salvation because you will have only one kli, the slightest one with the lowest light nefesh. Now you may be understand why a nun can speak so beautiful on television and you can feel the wonderfulness of her religion. You can feel her so profound alliance with here religion and you feel her surrendering. Her religion is so different from a Jewish woman. Why can we feel this only for example when we meet a nun? - Because she is connected through her faith with Yeshua. That’s why she shines and speaks about the loving kindness of Yeshua. But it is only the radiation of one kli of Yeshua, what’s beneath this kli is locked for her. Thus when one is a Christian all other kelim below the kli keter are locked. Heaven and that’s true but they lack the entrance to their lower kelim, to the malchut. That’s why so many Christians have a double-life: from above they are almost as an angel but deep inside they have an on differential feeling full of misery and doubts. Why are they speaking so much about the Mashiach? In a way they only speak about Yeshua. In Yeshua there is the keter and in his second appearance there is the Mashiach. Of course there is the embedding of Yeshua but only potential. A person has to do all the work by him self; this is the only way to bring about the second appearance of the Mashiach. What they say and mean is “he will come”. But the appearance of the Redeemer only can come when the light of Yechidah enters in the Mashiach, in the kli of malchut. The second appearance of Mashiach is in the malchut. Which Mashiach? - Of course Yeshua. There is no other Mashiach. Why? There is no second, or third or fourth man who is named the Redeemer. Moshe, Shimon and Yitzchak all have there share in the revealing of the Mashiach. For example Moshe is a strength given to the kli daat as an addition to support the second appearance of Mashiach. Shimon also did his contribution. His contribution was given at him from above so he too could contribute at the second appearance of Mashiach. What was the extra Yeshua 21 received when Moshe came in existence? - The light ruach. What was the extra of Shimon? Due to his coming, due to his revealing of the secret Torah Yeshua received the light Neshamah. With the first appearance of Yeshua the light nefesh came in the kli of Yeshua. Through the coming of Moshe the light ruach came in the kli of Yeshua. Due to the coming of Shimon the light Neshamah came in the kli of Yeshua, in the keter. With יצחקcame the fourth light so the contribution of יצחקtook care of the light Chayah within Yeshua. The light Chayah is the light of life. Eventually the Mashiach will come. Let it be in our days. What will happen? The light of Yechidah will come. One of our students noticed the first two letters of Yeshua the letters יyud and שshin means, “It exists”. And in the name of the Mashiach we have these two letters too, only reversed. And when you turn the last two letters you see the word – חיlife. 22 5. Why took Yeshua the third letter of the name Yitzchak? The last letter of the name Mashiach – the letter chet חis the third letter of the name יצחק. Why didn’t he take the first letter just as he had done with the others names? We already learned the first letters of a word or name is modifying and special. But you have to know it is all qualitative. It isn’t necessarily the numerical value of the remaining letters of a name have the same gematria as the first letter of that name. Look now and then while you are reading this at the drawing. We saw the numerical value of the name Yeshua is 386, plus the four letters – 390. The total numerical values of the first letters of the other names are 390 also. This is a fact and in this we see the highest phase has everything in itself what is present in all other lower phases, in our case regarding the highest kli in relation to the lower kelim of Moshe till the Mashiach. Why isn’t this rule value when we count from below to above? Didn’t we learn at elementary school that the turning of numbers doesn’t change the outcome when we add up two or more numbers? For example 3 + 5 is the same as 5 + 3. So why wasn’t build up the name of the Mashiach with all the first letters of the names of kelim that were above him? In a way he is the result, the goal of the development of all former phases. Isn’t it logical he already has in him the most useful and highest of what was in front of him, meaning all the first letters of the kelim that where before him. We saw he took the first letter of Moshe, the first letter of Shimon and the first letter of Yeshua. So far it is according the rules…. but then…he took from the name יצחקthe third letter. Why didn’t he follow the rules, why didn’t he do what we expect to happen? In this there is a very great and deep secret. When I come to the point to reveal deep secrets of the Torah I feel in myself an inner shyness. With this I mean to reveal it to more then one person. But I found in the book Zohar a pronunciation of the great Shimon bar Yochai himself. Every time when he had to reveal an important secret of the Torah to his devote disciples – and know in that time that were the greatest rabbi’s ever – he started to cry and said: “Ah me when I tell it. And ah me when I don’t tell it. When I tell the sinners they will see this as an opportunity not to work on themselves; they won’t correct themselves in the three lines. But when I don’t tell, all my students will stay ignorant.” What is the reason Mashiach took the third letter of יצחקinstead of the first letter? Be aware there is in the true spiritual a higher divine logic. This logic doesn’t have to be the same as the logic we have here on earth what we tend to name as ‘common sense’. Contrary, the divine logic is opposite to our earthly thinking. It is written: “My thoughts aren’t your thoughts”. This is what ordinary people use to call ‘Jewish math’s’. Meaning calculations, propositions, classifications etc one can’t see the solution of the problems without knowledge of the spiritual laws with logic or a rational approach. On the contrary this ‘Jewis math’s’ can give us stunning results!! It’s so different from the approach of he who’s religious, or he who is doing it mechanical, geometrical, cybernetic etc, from he who is looking at it from his earthly intellect. They all learn dogmas and this isn’t according the spiritual laws!! You have to know that in the spiritual something what is qualitative higher can be lower considering the sfirot. Remember this. Don’t project your earthly understanding on the spiritual reality. Don’t use your scientific, intellectual imagines because when you do so you will get lost. What’s more, the spiritual will conceal itself from your inner awareness. What will be left is ‘the talking about kabbalah’. This is what is called ‘the philosophy of kabbalah’ or ‘the physics of kabbalah’, or ‘the cybernetic kabbalah’ etc. None of these will or can help you because they are all build up around the earthly or cosmic 23 intellect. Try to understand and I know it is very hard to understand but the whole cosmos, till its lowest or last point of material belongs to our world!! There is no imagination that can grasp this!! In every imagination there is the grasping of something what isn’t material. For many years I teach my students this simple rule: what the earthly eyes can see has no divine, no eternal or spiritual. Whatever imagines or material object you see know it is without the spiritual, without the divine. Without going beyond your intellect, without going beyond your understanding, it is difficult to accept. Your intellect can’t agree with this!! You have to go beyond your intellect only than you can come to the experience that it is as I say it is. To go beyond your understanding is only to be done when you work individual on yourself!! You need the instructions of the spiritual laws and implement them in yourself otherwise it won’t work. Don’t aspect from me the words ‘relax’ or ‘resign your fate’. I don’t give you the opportunity to escape in whatever material imagination you wish to have and to see that as the so-called ‘spiritual’. All the time I rap someone’s knuckles till he has liberate himself completely of all the imagines he had about this earthly existence. In a way you can compare the learning in the Centre of the Lurian Kabbalah with the game that is on television namely ‘the island Robinson’. A number of competitors are on this island and every time there is a contest and he who loses the contest has to leave the island. Eventually one survives and he is the winner. Of course I hope in our study I will have more than one winner but it will be a few. It is said: “1000 students start to learn only one will come to the Light!” Yitzchak is the kli of yesod. The whole aspect of correction is based on the eventually correction of this kli yesod and the uplifting to the kli keter. You can compare this with a building. Before an architect starts a drawing he wants to know how high the building has to be. When he knows the height of the building, he knows the number of floors and with this information he knows what kind of fundament he needs. Every building needs fundamental information’s: the fundament and the height. A fundament needs enough capacity for the height. These two activities have to be geared to one another. The same you see in the spiritual. The whole creation is based for 6000 years on the sfirah of yesod, in the holy language yesod means fundament. We all need a distinguish fundament, bottom etc. The need of a fundament is the condition for the existing of the creation. It doesn’t matter this temporary fundament is from the second restriction, in kabbalah the second restriction is named tzimtzum bet. Only when there is the gmar tikun the final correction there will be no restrictions. We learned in the Zohar the condition of the gmar tikun is only possible thanks to the fundament. During 6000 years we have to make restrictions otherwise there will be no experience of the gmar tikun. What do we mean with restrictions, with fundaments, with bottoms? Know this is always the yesod. To be more precise: the ateret yesod. Therefore it is crucial to study this very thoroughly. In the holy Zohar is written and it is Rav haMenuna Saba who quotes a verse of Ecclesiastes: “I won’t allow my mouth to bring my flesh to a sin”. The Zohar names yesod ‘basar kodesh’ the holy flesh and ‘brit kodesh’ the holy pact. What does this mean? All over the world you can’t find a teaching that refers to this place in the human being named yesod. The reason for this is because the holiness is only given at Israel, as well in the common as in the particular aspect. Each being has his personal particular aspect of Israel. Note that I say ‘each being’; whatever the background of a being is each being has this personal particular aspect of Israel. Is there a reason the Zohar names this place of Yesod the ‘holy flesh’ or the ‘holy pact’? Does this mean that yesod is the place of the 24 holy connection with the Creator? Look what the Zohar is telling us: before a person opens his mouth to say something – including the conservation of his heart, meaning what the mouth doesn’t speak out but the intention is there in the heart – he has to be very careful to bring his yesod not to sin. With this we mean - not to receive for him self. Intuitive we understand what is said. Now, throw away all the other thoughts you have in your head, let go of the inner resistance because the rescue is here! Several years I have looked for what I’m now going to say to you. No person, no rabbi who did know this. Therefore they couldn’t help me. They hadn’t the liability to tell me that I could find the answer here in the book of Zohar and in the books of Ari and with Yeshua. The question was: “How can I purify myself?” Only by way of the correction of the kli yesod you can purify yourself and accordingly build up and connect yourself with the Creator. Therefore have the deepest desire and concentration in what you are going to read. I don’t write as a writer – I speak. Listen and try to hear! This is the way to salvation. Only by way of the kli yesod, your kli yesod, your ateret yesod and ateret means crown you can come to the kli keter, to the awareness of the Kingdom of Heaven. This sfirah is the only sfirah who has this wonderful quality to ascend via the middle line to the kli keter. There is a principal in the spiritual: ‘there is no disappearing in the spiritual’. Due to this yesod whenever he ascends or descends his basic place will last forever. When a person G’d forbid speaks some evil he attracts the strengths of hell – gehinnom in Hebrew. One opposite the other is created by the Creator – remember this. Is there another way He could rein His Creation? See this as the feedback of the high government to the being. Where is hell – hell is a condition within a being encouraged by the being himself. How? By making his mouth dirty. When he speaks negative words, curses etc he attracts the sitra achra - the impure strengths. By way of his mouth peh he makes zivug. By way of this zivug comes what is in his head, in his minds to the body. This is valid for as well the negative as the positive words. Please notice: hell isn’t something what exists only when you are dead. It is a perception, a feeling, a condition what comes to live by way of the evil tongue, by way of the adulterous thoughts and fantasies. Only by way of his own doing a person will experience hell on earth. Don’t make the mistake to think there is the place of hell here on earth. Here on earth exists the correction by way of his free choice. When he is in the after life he won’t have a free choice!! Therefore in the ‘here after’ there is unequivocal determined if he comes in paradise or in hell. It is impossible to choose a nice place by way of bribery etc. there won’t be a question if you like this place or that. Here on earth you have the free choice given at us by the Creator, in His great mercy He created one against the other to give you the opportunity of the free choice. Moshe said: “today you are standing before the Creator. Will it be life or will it be death. Choose for life”. Here on earth we have the choice! Know the High government is working faultless, always. You can make the right choice when you have the ateret yesod as your fundament. In every condition this is the last sfirah who can attracts the high light and pass it on, receiving for the sake of the giving. Now you can understand why Yeshua choose the third letter of the name יצחקYitzchak to draw our attention to this special place because here is the link. The link is to find in the name of Yitzchak. Let me repeat this. What is the first thing we do in our correction? What do you do when you seek for a solution no matter what the problem is? You make your aviyut thinner; aviyut is the density of a wish. You go from the fourth stage to the third stage etc till you are purified completely of all the aviyut and now you can bring the whole condition, problem etc to 25 the keter. When you are in keter you are in the condition of ibur, ibur means beget, to reinforce. The high keter, Yeshua, radiates in you keter this strength with the light nefesh. Accordingly you go down, step by step to the kli beneath, the kli of chochmah with the light of ruach. Then to the kli of binah with the light Neshamah, then the kli of z’a with the light Chayah, Chayah is the light of life. Yesod closes the z’a. It is possible you think that the ascending to the kli keter, the kli of Yeshua is enough. But it isn’t. It’s a start; when you ascend you start with the kli keter and the receiving of Yeshua here in the high Keter. That’s why Yeshua said: “comes to me he who is tired”. What does this mean ‘tired’? Tired of the un-corrected kelim tired of the aviyut and because of this one stays in darkness and feels tired. Look carefully! When I talk about the un-corrected kelim, kelim without light, then I speak about the necessity to ascend to the kli keter first. Meaning you have to ascend to the most transparent place of your kelim. The level of the partzuf will be the level of malchut. This is because of the upside down connection between kelim and the lights. When you have corrected the kli chochmah you have the light of ruach. This level is bigger – it is the level of zeir anpin. And when you correct the kli binah you have the light of Neshamah. This is the level of binah. When there is the correction of the kli z’a till the yesod with the attraction of the light Chayah, then there is the shining of the light chochmah and together with this the partzuf comes to the level of chochmah. And when the kli malchut is corrected, you have achieved the level of keter with the light Yechidah or light keter that fills this level. This is a subject that causes a lot of confusion therefore pay attention: look carefully - do I talk about kelim or about the levels of the partzufim. When the light Chayah arrives in the partzuf – and this is the correction of the kli yesod – together with this there is what we call ‘the feeling of life’. Chayah is the light of life. Only when there is the light of Chayah the klipot disappears out of your perception. Klipot cleaves to the places where chisaron shortcoming is. And by way of the correction of the kli yesod or the ateret yesod often these names are mixed up you can come to the maximum of your individual wholeness during the 6000 years of creation, 6000 phases of corrections that will be enough for the klipot to leave you at peace. When you have reached this moment you experience the place of yesod – the place of living. When you are honest with yourself and feel deeply you acknowledge this is the place of your yesod where you already feel the true life. But when you go lower then you feel darkness, death. This is the individual spiritual work – to correct all the wishes you have till the place of the ateret yesod. Then you are finished. This will be you gmar tikun, your eventual correction. Or in other words, whatever happens with you and around you, always you have the oneness with the Creator and you are in the fullness of life. There will be no more distraction because of your attachment with the high light. But before you achieve this know there is an order in this work what has to be done in every correction: the first thing you have to do is to make the aviyut of your kelim thinner and this can be done by way of the ascending of the yesod to the kli keter or in other words, your connection with the high Keter, Yeshua. Accordingly there is a gradual descending from the keter till the end of your destination; the place of yesod itself or the kli of Yitzhak and with this there is the attraction of the high light Chayah to the yesod. But the aviyut of the kelim stays in existence. You only have more consciousness to make thinner your wish but you have to know that the ‘heaviness’ is there always. There is a saying in the kabbalah: ‘nothing disappears in the spiritual’. When you have descend from the kli keter to the kli of chochmah you have enough strength to feel the aviyut of the kli 26 chochmah therefore you can make it more ‘transparent’ till you arrive at the kli yesod and the ateret yesod. The Zohar explains us the yesod is the ‘tree of life’. Within the human being yesod belongs to the ‘tree of life’, it is the lowest point. Ateret yesod is the tree of good and evil within the human being. It is the ateret yesod who makes all the necessarily limitations and ascending of the Ma’N during this period of 6000 years – the phases of correction. Now you can see why the yesod is so important and needs a lot of attention. Notice we can’t correct everything, what you have to correct do it and what stays behind is named lev ha’even the heart of stone. It is impossible to correct this till the gmar tikun. This aspect is so relevant that this has become for all the students the reality of every day. This is the most important and intimate place of the inner work; the ‘pact’ we have made with the Creator. The Zohar is telling us: only from this place one can see the Creator. Why this place? Try to find the answer by yourself. During the correction of the yesod there is the attraction of the shining of the light chochmah. In the holy language chochmah is rei’a to see and this refers to the eyes. By way of the place of ateret yesod the light or chozer ascends to the chochmah – to the eyes. Then you can ‘see’ the Creator or in other words the light or chozer covers the chochmah of the direct light or yashar. The light or chozer reaches to the chochmah of the direct light therefore one can see the Creator. In his naivety the world thinks that the process of liberation is so high. One has all kind of fanciful ideas, developments etc. I still remember when I spoke a couple of years ago during the Zohar lessons about this subject, some students started to giggle. Before that time they hadn’t experienced this place while they were learning and then suddenly…this place was still sleeping meaning there wasn’t a correction at all therefore it was this place that started to giggle because of there material associations with the place of yesod. Of course after a while it was gone and now they know how it works. Therefore I have a very sincere request for you: don’t shame yourself for this place! It was Yeshua himself who told us not to be ashamed for this place. The strength of Yeshua is connected with every yesod and via yesod the Ma’N arises to Yeshua and this happens at the beginning of every correction – every prayer for healing. When a ‘blind’ person yields to Yeshua: “son of David help me”. What does this mean? Ma’N – the request for help only can arise to the keter when you go in faith lemalah mihadaat – beyond your knowledge. Every time when a person requested at Yeshua if he would heal him Yeshua asked him if he had the faith Yeshua could do this. Know that without faith emunah in Hebrew there is no help. Emunah faith beyond knowledge is the tool embedded in the control system. To bring yourself in conformity with the qualities of a higher level you need this tool. Let it be you who are yielding for help at Yeshua and due to this you bring your yesod to the kli keter. And then a miracle happens: as soon as Yeshua touches your eyes (due to the match of properties, you immediately become able to see - you get the glow of chochmah. What does it mean when a ‘deaf’ person yields to Yeshua: “Help!” What is the meaning when Yeshua touches your ear, your binah and you can hear? This is the receiving of the light Neshamah. There was a city named Kafarnaum this is a corruption of the Hebrew kfar chanun what means village of comfort and in this place Yeshua couldn’t bring any healing because the inhabitants didn’t had emunah faith - only doubts. They asked: “who is that man? After all he is the son of Miriam and the carpenter Yosef. And we know their children.... so how is it possible he could be so full of wisdom?” Yeshua said: “he who is ashamed for me, I will be ashamed for him when I’m with the Father who is in Heaven”. The meaning of this is: I don’t let pass the Ma’N to go 27 to the Father because there isn’t conformity in qualities. He is still ashamed for me therefore he wishes to receive only for himself. He hates the aspect of to give. But now let us return to the essence of yesod in connection with the letters of the name Yitzchak – the kli yesod. As I have said above, yesod – – יצחקis Ari. The first letter of יצחקis the yud of Yeshua ; ישועthis is the shining of chochmah from Yeshua. The other three letters are his contribution – the letters צtzadi חchet and קkuf and this is the word ‘laughter”. Ari brought laughter and joy in this world. With Yitzchak Luria Ashkenazi four lights came in creation. And this place is indeed laughable. The whole world laughs about this. There are so many jokes about the Jewish people with this aspect. All the so-called ‘Jewish laws’ speaks about pureness considering the family, the ritual bathing etc so unknown for them who didn’t receive the teaching of liberation. Therefore their reaction is understandable. But Yitzchak Luria attracted the shining of the light chochmah to the level of the kli yesod to the whole world and to every person in particular. Me too started to laugh, became happy when I touched the tree of life from Yitzchak. This is the reaction of the experience when there is the observation of the shining of chochmah in yesod – joyfulness, happiness and laughter. The light comes to the place that was first in darkness. All of this is in the name יצחק. Let’s take the letters חchet and יyud of the name יצחקand place them in this order חיchai. As you already know yesod is also named chai – life. This is one word but we can do more. For instance let us take the last letter and place it in front, then the yud and the tzadi – קיץketz - what has the meaning of ‘end’. These two words chai and ketz of the name Yitzchak have the meaning of ‘living end’, the living end of a partzuf! Always look to the holy letters. Only within the holy letters you will see the answers instead of working with your head in an intellectual manner. Ateret yesod is the end of every partzuf and only in this place the light of correction me come during the 6000 years of creation. This is the living end of the partzuf. The whole Universe is build on this fundament – in this stadium of correction. Only on this fundament we can build. The next step will be in the gmar tikun. Then the light, life will come in malchut too. What will be the strength of malchut? That is hidden in the name of the redeemer Mashiach. Let us look at the letters of the Mashiach. Let me take the letters שshin and מmem – שםShem has the meaning of ‘name’. Malchut is named ‘name’. There are two letters left the yud יand chet חwhat gives us the word of chai – חיlive - as in the case of yesod. Let us place these two words together – Chai and Shem. When we make a word of it we see the word – םשיחwith the meaning of ‘living name’. Or in other words the ‘living malchut’ is the content of the name Mashiach, the redeemer. When in the gmar tikun malchut receives the name shem life will be filled with light and then we have really the ‘living malchut’. And who will bring this strength? The name of Mashiach! The light yechidah will fill the malchut. Let us look again to the name of the Mashiach. What do we see…he took the first letter of the three former phases of the Liberator. From Moshe he took the letter מ, from Shimon he took the letter שand from Yeshua he took the letter י. But considering Yitzchak there is something strange – he took the third letter what is the ח, why? By learning the torah we learn several facts and one of them is: when you notice something is an exception according the rule or a rule is illogical for you, meaning your common sense doesn’t understand, know this is the place and the time to give deeper attention because there are hidden the secrets of the Torah. Here we have the exception of the rule that malchut or the Mashiach took the third letter, the חof the name Yitzchak and not the first letter י. Malchut receives the strength to live 28 from the yesod, always. Yesod gives her the letter ח. Due to this letter chet the malchut will become the ‘living name’ once the gmar tikun is there. 29 6. The mystery how to forgive the sins and evil etc within yourself Is it possible for one being – one black box – to forgive another black box? When you think this is possible know that it is a childish imagination. Of course it can be fun but it doesn’t help! See it this way: a human being is the wish to receive for himself. This wish to receive for oneself can be material: material comfort, material pleasure. Food, drink, sex, wealth, power and science are strictly to be seen as material comfort and pleasure although you won’t agree with this. For example science is very thin matter but it still belongs to our placenta. Even the laws of nature as we see with Einstein are matter. When someone is busy with the laws of nature for example the theory of relativity…knows it is all within our world. But there are other wishes, spiritual wishes one wants to receive for oneself. A human being can strive for material things by way of his wish to receive for himself but a human being can also do things to soften his conscience for example to forgive someone. Know whatever form he chooses how to forgive some one in this world it is a way of soften his own conscience – always! The conscience hurts and he doesn’t like this feeling therefore he rather goes in the process of to forgive than to stay in this feeling. It is the sitra achra s’a within him whispering in his ears ‘forgive him and you will feel better’. And every person likes to hear this although he isn’t aware he is doing the will of ‘another’ because one has to know the conscience of a human being has nothing to do with the divine. Remember this. The conscience of a human being is a product of the s’a within the human being and one wants to keep it this way. When a person forgives another person he feels good. ‘I was able to forgive him’ and this is psychological a very good feeling. This is something one teaches in mental clinics but not only here also religious people have been taught this way and we are still doing this with our children in kindergarten. I don’t speak about forgiveness. I only speak about ‘everything is within one being’. Forgiveness has to take place within you otherwise you can’t straight out with the higher. Now I go further with the study of the mechanism of this because you have to use it on a daily base only then you can see how it works. As you know a person can come in the most ridicules situations. Suppose there are two brothers and both have the same job. One is looking at the other and of course he knows the inns and outs of their profession, how much they can earn etc. but now brother A sees that brother B steels his costumers. His conclusion is that his brother is a thief. He says to himself ‘my brother is steeling my costumers. He is driving in cars no other person can afford himself with such an occupation’. I’m telling you something of our daily live. In church his brother is sitting in the first bench and gives money and does do all kind of things for the church. Brother A has no peace. He sees brother B has success and though his hands aren’t clean. Therefore he breaks with his brother and his family. The problem is; brother A couldn’t find peace within himself. What is outside of him can’t help him. Therefore he can come to such a miserable stage because from within…. there is the gnawing feeling and for him the solution is to make peace from the outside, for his own conscience; from the outside he wants to forgive his brother. But of course in the real spiritual this isn’t the solution! This is a real story, the person told me this last week. This is why I bring up this subject; how can a person come to real spiritual calmness? Not by way of meditation, this if for children because it is only 30 psychological, temporarily but not a correction. Listen to what I say – you don’t bring yourself in conformity with the light. How does it work? What is the mechanism? In the real spiritual genius and divine are simple!!! The earthly being invents all kind of systems; one more complicated than the other and due to this one can’t see the essence. The way a person can sort out and receive the true calmness is simple. There is only the existence of the five kelim, as well in the common as in the particular: keter, chochmah, binah, zeir anpin z’a and malchut. Within us is the kli keter but the kli keter has no aviyut; it lacks the thickness for a wish and because of this it hasn’t the strength of the Creation. From the point of view of the kli it is only the dot of the yud י. Here are no strengths from the human being. Every person has the kli keter. Pay attention because it is simple. Come in touch with the simplicity and it will help you. I practice this daily. The four lowest kelim – kli chochmah, kli binah, kli zeir anpin z’a and kli malchut are the kelim of the name יהוהor in other words the four phases of the aviyut. When I speak of aviyut it means there is already some differentiation of the light, it has some strength of the creation. The keter is the phase of 0. In a way it is a kli and at the same time it lacks the strength of a wish. You can see the kli of keter as the representative of the light and we name this Yeshua. Yeshua means salvation. Whatever the rescue is you want to receive you have to ascend to your keter. Clear? As I said it is easy. When you are convinced of this you will receive everything. In a way you will have the salvation in your own hands! In every situation you have the five kelim therefore keter is present in every situation. Each keter receives the shining of another, higher kli keter. The existence of the kelim keter is endless. For instance the kli keter of malchut of the world Asiyah and the yesod of malchut of the world Asiyah has ten sfirot. Thus there is the keter of the yesod of the malchut of the world Asiyah and this keter has again ten sfirot etc. All of this is in the tree of life and the higher you come the higher the kli of keter is. The higher the step the higher the kli of keter the more closer you come to the light. The highest kli of keter is in the name of the high Keter and this is the strength of Yeshua. But of course every kli keter has the name Yeshua. Don’t think about a person when you read the name of Yeshua, don’t think about the person who was crucified on the cross. This is the common aspect and you have to know a little about it but the real work is within a person. The strength of every keter is the strength of Yeshua, the strength of salvation. So what can you do when you are in a situation you can’t handle? First you have to know you are connected with the four lowest kelim or in other words the phase of the fourth, third, second or first phase. What can you do? Make your aviyut – the thickness of your wish thinner and bring it to your keter. The name of keter is Yeshua, and he is the rescue in every situation. In the common aspect on the scale of the souls given to the human being keter is the highest and this is Yeshua, the Yeshua from Netzaret - Nazareth. He is the highest, the first link and above him is יהוהthe light itself. He is the first receiver of the high light for whole creation. He is the first one who receives the light of יהוהwithin him. Whatever the condition or situation is, one always has five kelim. Yeshua who is the common and total Redeemer – or the common keter, from him comes the radiation to every keter no matter what the level or condition is. When you ascend in your particular situation to your keter you receive through your keter who is connected with Yeshua the strength of liberation inherent in every kli keter. Know that in every person is present the liberation by way of 31 his kli keter. Can you understand this? Don’t think that you have to make the connection with Yeshua, make the connection with your keter. The same is for all the rituals in a religion. Of course they are good too but it stays on the level of religion. In everything there are levels of comprehension and perception. What can I do? Suppose I’m angry just as in the example I have given. I need to come to calmness, what is the correction tikun in Hebrew you can do? There are already a lot of things you have learned for instance; “live in the now”, the five w’s and other methods from our ground course, in a way they are all the same. When you look at the drawing you see on top the aspect of kelim. The most important thing you have to learn is about the kelim and the lights than the rescue is within your reach. You don’t need more, no gods, no religion or other ways that distract you. You don’t have to correct the light! Correct your kelim and the light is automatically there. Suppose I’m in the same condition as brother A and I can’t find peace. My whole life will be this way, of course in all kind of varieties and of course I will find ways to soften my conscience but still…the sense of guilt gnaws at me. What is the way to free my self of this? There is one important thing you have to know, when someone gets irritated because of his brother or someone else, know this has nothing to do with the other person! It is always the same; everyone thinks his neighbour has a better life than he has. The same in our example, brother A thinks that brother B steals his customers. Know the problem isn’t in brother B therefore the correction don’t have to take place in brother B. the problem is in brother A. The whole problem is within brother A. How can he come to calmness? See his problem as five kelim: keter, chochmah, binah, zeir anpin z’a and malchut. There is a principle: the beginning of a correction isn’t in the crying of “HaShem, HaShem help!” Do what the Torah scholars say: first do what is within your power. Afterwards there will be the moment you lack the strengths. No person has strength for this. But what is the reason I can’t yield at once to HaShem? Why do I have to work so hard till I have come to the chochmah and than feel ‘I can’t go further’? I have to build up all the four strengths in every condition and I can do this by way of learning the Torah. What can brother a do? The first thing he has to do is by way of his own strength to make thinner his highest aviyut/wish, the aviyut of the fourth level till it becomes the third level. This is hard work. You can compare this with the starting of an engine. The motor needs a lot of power when starting the engine. It is the same in our work; we need a lot of power/strength to continue. He needs to go further to bring his feeling of angriness to the second level. He has to make thinner his aviyut - his wish because he hasn’t any control over himself, then he can go to the first level where are his own strengths. The most important thing is…he may not stop but he has to go further till he comes to keter. How can he come to the keter because the keter hasn’t the aviyut? Every kli has the strength of Yeshua but at this point the aviyut is gone. Therefore the high Keter, the common Yeshua, the prophet says: ‘come to me and I will refresh you, I will ‘comfort’ everyone’. This means he has to come to his own kli keter. ‘Come to me’ means come to keter and every keter receives from the high Keter. Keter is the crown. Therefore also the common, the highest Keter is rewarded and with him the whole world and all other nations, Christians and later also the Jews will recognize Yeshua as the Keter, the crown above everything and everyone. And this will happen irrefutable! Can you understand this? Yeshua is the crown on my individual crown. My keter is present in every situation that is mine situation. I can go as high as I want to but I have to know above this point there is the highest Keter and through him the light of creation can come 32 to me. Each kli keter has the same condition as the high Keter. When I achieve the keter no matter on which level I am, I have the same quality the same construction as the highest Keter, as Yeshua who is the prophet. Why? You have to know; what is within the smallest part of creation is inevitable present in the highest part. Every person has to go through these four phases. I’m talking about kelim that are without light. When brother A is angry because of his brother it only means he has five empty kelim, empty because there is no light. He only can come to the top when he passes all the four kelim and as a result his emptiness becomes thinner and his evil becomes less. Suppose a person reaches the fourth phase – the chochmah, what can he do to go further to the kli keter? The distance between kli keter and kli chochmah is as Saturn and the sand of the Dead Sea. Can you imagine… the difference in quality is so high.... is it possible for a person to take this step? The Creator has created an ingenious system and this is named ‘emunah lemalah mihadaat’ what means ‘faith beyond understanding and knowledge’. Only when I have emunah lemalah mihadaat I can reach the keter. To every human being is given the way from malchut to chochmah or in other words from the fourth phase to the first phase. Of course I have to do the work to arrive at the first phase but it is given to everyone! And from this point I can go to keter by going lemalah miehadaat – beyond the understanding and knowledge. See keter, as the in-between between the creation and the Creator but keter is the creation himself. Creation already has the kli with four phases. Kli chochmah is the thinnest kli and a hint is given in the letter yud of the name יהוה. Keter has no letter, he is only the dot of the letter yud what means there is no aviyut – the thickness of a wish. The kli chochmah has the aviyut of the first phase. How can creation go from this first phase to the keter, to increase to the keter? Increase means to come in conformity with the quality of kli keter. Or in other words cover the kli keter, how is this possible? How can I go from phase 1 to phase 0? This is impossible with the intellect. There is absolutely no possibility to do this with the head. HaShem created it this way that we have to make use of our own strength that is from phase 4 to 1. Till the time HaShem comes. This gives you the feeling of forgiveness because in the keter you can’t feel any longer the strength of yourself. When you have achieved the keter all the evil disappears. The same for all the things you are worried about. But where is the keter in me when I look to myself? Malchut is the lowest. When I look within myself from below to above I see the higher I go the nearer I come to the keter. The top is my head and I can go even higher, above my head where my keter is. Repentance teshuvah doesn’t mean from above to below but from below to above. In me I have the yesod and from this point my repentance start to above to the keter. How do I make my aviyut thinner? The kli can’t arise. It is possible to make my kli or wish thinner via the yesod. We already know the yesod has the strength to arise so by way of the yesod I can do all the uplifting. The last station is keter – and this is the complete surrendering. First I have to do everything to go from phase 4 to phase 1. What is the way brother A can do this? He has to do everything what lies within his strength so he can justify his situation. He has to say: this is my situation and not my brother is guilty. Suppose his brother is guilty, he steals from his customers then there is the judicature or other organizations who deal with this. Therefore don’t judge about another person even when he is your brother. There is a Midrash, an allegorical story about two brothers living in Jerusalem. They lived near each other. One was rich and the other was poor. Now the public holidays were coming so the rich brother went at night to 33 the barn of his brother with a large bag filled with grain. He did this because he knew his brother was poor and had a big family. Next day the poor brother saw the bag with grain. He thought heaven had given him this and he wanted to share this with his wealthy brother. But his wealthy brother may not know that it was coming from him and this is a real act of giving. So the next night he brought a half of the bag of grain to the barn of his rich brother. But his rich brother was on his way to the barn of his poor brother with a bag of grain so half way they met each other. The Midrash tells us that on that spot where they met each other, a temple was build. The whole meaning of this story is; go beyond your understanding. Only then you receive the Kingdom of Heaven and that is keter - the Keter within you and not somewhere else. Who can go beyond his understanding, he who overcomes his intellect will receive the Kingdom of Heaven. To go beyond your understanding is to go to your kli keter. What is the reason you can receive the Kingdom of Heaven only there? See it this way: when you have keter of a lower step know the malchut of the higher step is within this keter. The malchut of the higher step is above the kelim of my evil. Evil I experience for my brother. The malchut of the higher step is within my keter. This is a fact. This is the connection between the worlds and between partzufim and the sfirot. Whatever the condition is, the malchut of the higher step is within my keter. The name of the malchut of the higher step is “malchut shamayim – the Kingdom of Heaven. The meaning of the word malchut is Kingdom. Why is it the kingdom of heaven? The kelim that needs corrections is named earth, but the higher step is as ‘heaven’ considering my own kelim. In a way the kelim I have are the wishes to receive or in other words they are malchut considering the higher step. Know the malchut of a higher step is always within my keter. And this Malchut of a higher step is the kingdom of Heaven. So where do I go? The only thing I have to do is to go beyond my understanding. Let us return to the case of brother A and B; the intellect within me says that my brother is cheating. He steals from his customers. He does do all kind of illegal things. He has to otherwise how can he have such great cars and so much honour. I have to go beyond my understanding because the intellect wants to control me, wants me to concentrate on the bad things. Or the intellect wants to concentrate me on the other side. Do you still remember? The other side is the side that says ‘you are so good - you are a saint. You are one of a kind, etc’. The intellect can provoke you from the right side too. But in this case the intellect is provoking you from the left side. When you react you step in the trap of the sitra achra. What can you do? Go beyond your understanding. First you need your own strength to justify the situation or in other words, you have to favor your brother. This is given to us, to grant other people and when you do so you can arise from the 4th phase to the 3rd phase. All the work is within the four lowest kelim. When I can grant I make my aviyut thinner, the agitation in me becomes less. The problem is I can’t grant myself and as a consequence I can’t grant another being. All the agitation is only because I give myself no rest, and this is because I can’t grant myself. We always complain, complain about another person, about the society, the weather etc. it is always outside myself. This withholds me from going to my inner side. When brother A can grant his brother B and he can do this more and more his kelim becomes thinner. Due to this he reaches his true calmness. You have to do the same. And when you can come to the kli of chochmah and go beyond your understanding and say: “although I don’t understand I go beyond my intellect”. How can I do this? The words Yeshua spoke are characteristic for the kli keter. 34 For example: “when someone hits you on the right cheek, turn your left cheek to him”. Only when you see the Hebrew letters you can come to a real understanding. Later we will study this in “the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven” teaching of foolishness. In this book we shall learn the Brit Chadashah - the books of the New Testament in its original language. What Yeshua said about the Kingdom of Heaven is all about the kli keter. When you live, when you practice the words you will learn you too will arise and enter the kli keter. Go beyond your intellect; go beyond your understanding, that’s what you have to do. You only can enter the kli keter by way of your faith, not with any knowledge or intellect. Suppose someone is only learning with his intellect, he can’t understand a thing. Without faith you can’t come to the keter. Only when you come to the keter you can receive the light. As I have said earlier: within the keter lies embedded the malchut of a higher step and by way of this higher malchut you can attract everything, by way of the malchut of the good side of the ‘tree of good and evil’. The higher malchut is within my keter and I choose for that side where the malchut is connected with the binah, ‘the good side’, or in other words, the second point. I choose for the malchut that is within my keter. Not for the malchut that gives me nothing. I connect myself with the malchut within my keter and this malchut is connected with the binah, the second point. From this point I receive all the good coming from the higher. Let me quote Yeshua: “ I do what my Father does from whom I receive everything”. All the time I have to go to the malchut of the higher step that is within my keter. Meaning, I carry the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven. Yoke because it is beyond my understanding, beyond my intellect. It feels as carrying a yoke. Why – because I’m made to receive for myself. When I reach the keter I receive nothing what is for me. And this is so unnatural. I am made, born with the wish to receive for myself. And when I come to the keter I experience something unnatural – and this is the aspect of to give. This is what you and every human being has to do, to carry the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven. For them who are learning the books of Shlavei HaSulam are learning this. And it is the same what Yeshua had said. You have to learn it this way. This is only an introduction of the mystery of forgiveness. Don’t think when you read the word forgiveness you have to forgive another person. But you have to let go only then you can begin with the forgiveness of yourself. Don’t ask for forgiveness with your mouth at the Creator; it won’t help you. You have to go to your keter and when you say your prayers only with your mouth and hope that other people will think how great you are because you are praying.... no. Yeshua looks to his’ people with love. It is given to all of us to come to your own rescue any moment. And the rescue will come! Roughly Yeshua came here 2000 years ago during the period of the end of the Second temple. He asked forgiveness at the Jewish people in what the church had done to them. It was very sincere. Not an act because it was given to him from above. The time of the Mashiach has come. Pay attention: this is the time for the Jewish people to ask for forgiveness that they let Yeshua be killed. You don’t have to become a Christian. There is only one redeemer, one liberator for whole mankind. The time has come for the Jewish people to show respect for the fact that they had killed Yeshua. It is written in their law: “he who gives the order to kill another person is guilty for that murder”. In other words he is a killer too. Therefore listen good and let go the resistance in what I say only then I can help you. As you know there’s the common and the special aspect. What was the consequence in the common due to the killing of Yeshua as a prophet? The gate to heaven was ‘killed’ – by killing him physically they killed the rescue that had to come to 35 the earth. But when we look to the special aspect we see every Jew – and I mean every Jew even they who have been born after this killing – is guilty considering the killing of Yeshua who was one of them. And with this they destroyed their own keter. And their personal keter is their rescue. So because of this event, that they killed Yeshua, the gate, the entrance to the kli keter was closed. The consequence of this is much worse then you can imagine, why? As you already know on the scale of human souls the Jewish souls are as the head. The three upper sfirot are the head. The higher keter is closed and the high keter did come especially for them! So when the Jewish people don’t open the high keter they won’t receive the rescue of Yeshua. And he came especially for them! They are the first receivers of the light. And they can’t receive the rescue till they have done teshuvah – repentance. Meaning till the time they open the keter. As a consequence of what they had done a wall was set up between the saving light of the Kingdom of Heaven and the nations of the world. So other people can’t receive the light. And the Christians who believed and believe in Yeshua, they only can receive a small light of the High Keter. Or in other words: when the Jewish people would show their respect – so loud the whole world could hear them all the substantial problems will be solved from within. Open your heart and read carefully what I just said. Place in your heart what you just have read and do what you can do, if the Jewish nation neglect this no end can come to all the crises, earthquakes, wars, famenine, flooding etc. A structural up building won’t be possible, as long the Jewish people don’t come together and show their respect, make a little gesture that they show their respect for the eyes of the whole world in what they had done. Only than the ‘Jewish’ gates can go open and this will have an enormous outcome for the whole world. But it has to come from the land Israel, from the ‘headquarters of the rabbinate of Jerusalem’. They handed over Yeshua at the Romans. Therefore they have to clear the inner consciousness of whole humanity and the Jews who are living over whole the world have to support them. Of course everything is within you. As I have said before, there is the common and the special, individual aspect. Or in other words: within you Yeshua has to come alive! That’s it. Let Yeshua come alive. Create within yourself the opening for Yeshua. Create within you the opening to the high Keter and the Mashiach can and will come. Listen to what I say and accept it – especially he or she who is a Jew! Know that every human being desires for the strength of the high Keter – know or unknown. But he or she who is reading this and is a Jew – accept the words you have just read. These are the words of a kabbalist of this time, the words of a kabbalist just before the arrival of the Mashiach. Don’t ignore them!! Hear them and see what you can do for your own sake? It isn’t the intention a Jew has to become a Christian. The meaning is; they have to come in the same spiritual mikveh. That they can look and see the sin once done when Yeshua, the redeemer of humanity, was killed and that they can forgive themselves! But it has to be done in public and that’s it. Once when they have taken this step they can do what they want to do. There is a deep resistance in this because how is it possible the Jewish people show their respect when they still have the feeling of “what He did to us...”, can they feel sorrow for their role in the killing of Yeshua? What has been done in His name considering the Jewish people? No he is still guilty so why should I forgive him? In a way they blame Yeshua for everything! But that was then, now the time has come it can be done! If all Jewish religious leaders and world leaders would step out of their position for the true peace, for the salvation, for the rescue, it can be done! In a way it is as simple just as Yeshua said: is 36 there any difficulty in the words said to a disabled person ‘rise up and walk away?” What does this mean? Disabled is someone who can’t come to the kli keter. He can’t receive the light coming from the Kingdom of Heaven. This is where Yeshua was speaking about. But the people didn’t understand him. The inner mikveh was there to give a person the opportunity to feel the keter. In this was the salvation, the rescue. I was disabled and now I can walk. I was blind and now I can see. I was deaf and now I can hear, possible for each one of use after the mikveh. Not only in the regular aspect; don’t point out your finger to he who is a Jew and say; they don’t do this. It is revealed to you too! When you take these words within yourself place them in your heart and take action.... don’t think ‘oh he isn’t doing this, why should I?’ he who is working with this accelerates this process. The process of the ripening of the Jewish people so they too can choose for Yeshua instead of Barabas. It was their words ‘Yeshua had to die’ and not Barabas. They had made the choice for Barabas within themselves. Because they had made this choice now there was and is discrepancy between them and the Creator. This is the reason the Jewish people have so much misery. On that moment they had the choice to choose for Yeshua but they choose for the bad guy within themselves. In that time they thought that they had made a right decision. They felt the strength, the four phases. They did what was within their power. They thought they could come to the Creator independently. Why? In a way there thinking was good and in a way there thinking was wrong. They saw the chochmah, binah, z’a and malchut – they saw the four-letter name of יהוה. What they didn’t saw was the dot of the yud and the dot of the yud is part of the creating strength too. They couldn’t see it because the dot of the yud has no kli, no aviyut. You have to go beyond your thinking otherwise you can’t see the dot of the yud. Therefore they couldn’t see nor understand this saving strength, strength so soft, so full of mercy but without aviyut. It was Yeshua who took all the sins upon his shoulders – only to rescue them. What is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of ‘he took all the sins, all the diseases upon his shoulders? He was keter and there is no aviyut in keter. Keter has already all the ten sfirot. As you know everything has ten sfirot. Who is the ambassador or the keter himself.... the keter himself! And the other nine sfirot are connected to this keter. They too lack the aviyut but they are present and have the four phases within the keter (the first phase is chochmah, the second phase is binah, the third phase is the six sfirot of z’a and the fourth phase is the malchut). This is what Yeshua had ‘laid on his shoulders’, these are all the ‘sins’ all the potential aviyut he took within himself. What is the inner meaning of ‘the old testament’ or ‘old pact’? Everything is connected within this pact, within this testament and with everything I mean, ‘we Jewish people’, ‘we Christian people’ etc. This is the consciousness of whole humanity. What is the inner meaning of ‘the new testament’ or ‘new pact’? This is ‘my’ pact or in other words it is my personal connection with the Creator. And only this can bring and give fulfillment as well to him who is an individual as well to the whole community. Every person living here on earth has two strengths within him: the strength of ‘Israel’ – the wish to give and the strength of ‘the nations of the world’ – the wish to receive for one selves. Be alert that the nations of the world within you don’t destroy your Yeshua and kill him. When you notice the ‘nations of the world’ have more power within you and that they want to humiliate Yeshua who is within you, resist! How? Go beyond your understanding. And when you do so every time you can say: “I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD”. 37 7. The wish to believe There is only one condition for success, for the rescue namely that you don’t struggle otherwise you can’t go further. You too have to go the same direction and when you lack the strength for this know it isn’t wrong but when you don’t want to go this direction… you have to know I can’t bear this. Neither did Yeshua. Do you remember the story about Yeshua? Who were the ones he saved? Who were the ones he healed? Only they who believed him! Someone walked to him and asked him: “My daughter is so ill. Please only a word and she will be healed”. This person believed Yeshua and the reaction of Yeshua was “your belief has saved you”. Only when Yeshua saw that someone believed him he was prepared to heal him but in his own town he couldn’t do some miracles. Why? The reason was their lack of believes. “No prophet in its own city” means he who doesn’t believe can’t go to the keter. When there isn’t the possibility to come to the keter there isn’t the possibility to come to the gmar tikun – the complete correction. Can you see this? The keter and the malchut are connected with each other always. When you go to your keter by way of making thinner your aviyut means that you come to keter with your Ma’N. What you bring to above you can bring to below as well – it is the same road. By making thinner your aviyut you bring yourself to above. This means you go through your kelim to the top. And once you have arrived at the top you can go back to the beginning always. The malchut is connected with the keter always. You can see this as an interaction, what comes from the one brings you to the other. But above all believe is necessarily. Don’t think when you lack the belief you are lost. Remember the words Yeshua spoke to his disciples when they came to him and said: “We saw someone who was acting in your name. Should we prevent him from doing this? He isn’t allowed to do this because he isn’t one of us”. And Yeshua said to them: “Let him free in what he is doing because – he who isn’t against me is with me. Meaning, he who isn’t against this believe gradually he will come to the same believe. Therefore when there is a shortcoming in the belief it isn’t so bad. But it is different when you don’t want to believe. Then you don’t belong here. When I notice someone doesn’t want to believe… first I’m very careful but when I notice by way of e-mail or so, I will be straight with this person. When someone is learning with us for many years and he is acting as a strange person meaning the differences in qualities becomes so great and he doesn’t want to overcome the gap, he stills struggle then the time can come I say: “Here our relationship ends. You aren’t welcome any longer as a participant in our Zohar lessons in Amsterdam. You can stay as an external student assuming you will work on yourself!” We don’t need ‘dead souls’! Than again I receive e-mails who are so full of emotions, full of terrible things…. I see he is absolute against the belief. He is working with his head and when he hears the word Yeshua the anger rises within him. Know this is common to this people because they are raised this way. They don’t know why but once they hear the word Yeshua …terrible things happen. Why? How is this working? The word of Yeshua the strength of Yeshua feeds in them their impure strengths. You know such a person can bear a lot only when he hears the word Yeshua … and Yeshua is the highest of the divine. He achieves the lowest layers present within him and he hasn’t any control. He can’t control his reaction although he may think that he belongs to our intern study. It doesn’t matter how long you learn kabbalah. Someone who enters today and tries to 38 believe he is one of us and he will be saved. But someone who learns kabbalah for many many years and still hasn’t the belief nothing will help him. Try to believe. Try to go beyond your understanding only than you come in contact with your keter. There is no other way! And in the keter there is the Creator. Only when you go beyond your understanding you can come to the Creator. Please read carefully these words, no person can come to the Creator, whatever the number of praying he is saying, he can’t come to the Creator otherwise than to go first to his kli keter. What does this mean? Suppose you do a prayer and you think you are talking with the Creator but you ignore Yeshua, it has no meaning. No prayer can come to the Creator, as long it hasn’t passed the name of Yeshua. Your prayer has to go first to Yeshua only than it can reach the Creator. When you aim your prayer to HaShem know it is always good and right because through this you give your prayer to Yeshua. But it is better to say your prayer in the name of Yeshua, always in the name of Yeshua then you can come to the Creator. When you do otherwise, it stays a wishful thinking. All the praying my brothers and sisters are doing… it is absolute worthless. They don’t want to see and they won’t believe that the Father is only within Yeshua. Of course this can be very difficult for you and there is nothing wrong with that. Gradually you will overcome yourself and when that happens it will be revealed to you. But when there is still resistance…you still struggle because you don’t want to believe, it has no sense. Know I’m not busy with the proclaiming of Christianity. All over the Universe are spread out the sparks of light. I only talk about the teaching of HaShem. I only talk about the total salvation. There is no other way for he who wants to come to his true destination then to pass the last point, the eye of the needle, meaning the kli keter. This is the thinnest place. The place of Yeshua and within there is embedded the high light only than you can come to HaShem. Name means kli. Say within yourself: “in the name of Yeshua, our Mashiach” and you will and shall come to the Creator. It is your decision to work this way but at the same time you have to know when you do otherwise, it won’t help you. A few days ago I saw on television how the bodies of a rabbi and his wife who where killed in Mumbai where brought from India to Israel. They enfolded the bodies with white sheets and then in the coffins. All this was done in a very extreme orthodox surrounding with the utmost ceremony accompanied with a few people of the government. An important rabbi held a speech and I heard the words he spoke. You know, I know all their prayers, prayers they studied for many years. So I heard the sermon of this solemn rabbi with a beautiful white beard, he looked so divine…but I didn’t felt any holiness. He looked like a hollow doll. The words he spoke…only things he once learned and when necessarily and on the right time he changed his voice, just the way to let the audience become touched. He was referring to Ari too because they all know Ari was a divine person. But was this a prayer? Will it rise to the Creator? No way! They only learn magic tricks. In this way it looks like a religious play. They know exactly what to say but it comes only from their lips and that is not a prayer. First you have to come to Yeshua otherwise you can’t come to the Creator. You can pray for hours, the whole nation can pray a whole day and a whole night, even a whole year but it won’t go the Creator. There is only one high Keter – Yeshua. He once said: “it is given to my by way of My Father, and, no one can come to the Father otherwise than through me”. This is a fact. But you have to come to the experience. You have to know what you experience. Not only words. Before you arrive at you final destination you have to cross the last station. And this last station is the acceptance of Yeshua. How far will your 39 prayer go? It doesn’t matter if you can’t do this, not at all. But when you still struggle, when you don’t want to, that is something different. It is possible that some of you have problems with what you are reading. But when there is the wish to overcome this problem, the strength will be given at you and one day you will have to strength to overcome. There will be the day that the faith will be given at you. There is no problem for you to stay. What does faith mean? Not the faith of a child. Not that you believe that all your sins will be forgiven, that is a very naïve believe. The real believe is, you make yourself free so from above they can give you faith. Faith means, you make the Ma’N and bring it to above. This is the real faith, to bring the Ma’N to above to the keter. It is the way to the light – that is the real faith. It is easy to see what believe is and what isn’t. Develop within you a kind of ‘believe detector’, a certain criterion. Or may be better an ‘unbelief’ detector’, than you too could see the words the rabbi who spoke during the ceremony, where hollow, empty words, beautiful words for them who belong to the mass, only for the outer being but from within there was nothing. I could feel the words didn’t go right away to HaShem. Ari had the gift to see if one spoke the truth or not. Don’t think this is an exceptional gift you too can learn this. Don’t think you have to be in isolation, that you have to be a saint. You can learn this. Than you can see that from within there is a kind of an open light pillar coming till above the head. Just as the kav. A light pillar going to above and making the connection with the keter, the keter is the head and there is the spiritual. From that point it makes the connection with the light. This is the way to the light and of course when you can make the connection here from below to above, from above it can come to you, to below. You only have to make yourself receivable. The way from above to below is there always. But from below, in a way we have closed this gate. This is what the people have done, but you have to know that from above the way to the human being was, is and will always be there. You only have to open this gate. And when there is no struggle you open your gate. We are studying with a small group of students here in Amsterdam but even although it is a small group, each one of us has to point out to the same direction. Every time the Zohar brings us new revealing. In every lesson the gate once closed opens itself a tiny bit. Only with your cooperation this can happen, there is no other way. When you struggle and you don’t want…you have to leave the course. Gradually we will go deeper and deeper and all of us will come to a deep experience. A marvellous way lies open for us. Each one of you, everyone personal can come to his own experience of his gmar tikun of his own complete correction. This is our target that each one of us will and can reach the gmar tikun as an individual and as a group. In a way it is absolutely individual and at the same time it can happen as a group. But we have to work together; it won’t happen when there is still someone who is against. During the lesson all of us have to be in a complete surrender, and when the lesson is over each one of us has to work on him or her. We all need to look in one direction as a class, while remaining individual.. Don’t think the Zohar is difficult, that you can’t learn the Zohar. Only when you lack the faith it is difficult. It is the same for to stay alive in this world, without faith it is almost impossible. For a person who is without faith life is very heavy, very tragic. It is you who experience life as easy or as heavy. It is all about what kind of faith you have; is it the belief under the understanding, meaning all you do is with your intellect, or can you go beyond your understanding. The last one isn’t easy, you have to go first through your own strengths and of course in this you need your intellect. To go beyond your understanding doesn’t mean that you don’t use your intellect 40 you need our intellect. But the scale may not go to the other side, that you do everything with your intellect. Although our intellect says to us, stay with me, there is a time you have to go beyond your understanding. Look for example to the Talmud. It is a splendid peace of work but when you stay in the Talmud it won’t help you. You know, our brains are so genius, all the logic and all the reasons but without faith it is nothing! Talmud is wonderful. But don’t blame the Talmud. Talmud is a great peace of work only when you learn Talmud with your head, only with your head it won’t help you. What does ‘with your head’ mean? When you stay within your head, within your understanding, the Creator can’t hear you. Why not? Within the understanding means you stay within the kelim of Kabbalah the vessel of only to receive. HaShem is the absolute wish of to give. How can you connect yourself with HaShem? Only when you bring yourself in conformity with His quality meaning you have to give also. How can you give at HaShem, is there something you can give at Him? Does He need something? Absolutely not. You can’t give a thing. The only thing you can do is to make your aviyut thinner because the wish to receive may not disappear. You only can make the wish thinner. Only than there can come the moment you come to the Keter and receive the light. But you can’t stay in the Keter! It is only for a moment, you receive some rescue and this rescue gives some relieve but then you have to go further. Now you know the way to above, you have come from below to above to the kli keter therefore you can do it once again. When you have more strength you can go back from the kli keter to a lower kelim than you receive the light ruach. The meaning is you have to go further but when you continue always have the connection with the kli keter. That means you are always connected with Yeshua. And this is such an important message. Know you can connect yourself with the keter always. Don’t shout when something isn’t working the way you want to. Don’t yell ‘HaShem HaShem help me’ because this is meaningless. Connect yourself with Yeshua that will help you. ‘I have sent my son already and He gave the message. Why don’t you learn from him? I have given everything - learn from Him!’ HaShem Himself says, “Why are you coming to Me”. Clear? Learn what He had said. 41 8. Make no picture but experienceYeshua As you already know you have five sfirot. Make no connections with what kind of picture or symbols you may have. The Christians have received some symbols. For instance they know the symbol of the cross. This symbol is given to them. But it is the way what is given to them. Because you occupy yourself now with kabbalah there is no need for symbols any longer. But of course each one of you is free to see what he wants to see. When you are a Christian and you believe in the cross, in the crucifixion, of course you are free to believe! But at the same time you have to know there is the tree of Life, the five sfirot. There is nothing more. And as you already know these five sfirot are in essence ten sfirot because the fourth sfirot has six sfirot within itself. Five or ten, it is the same. Therefore when you make thinner your aviyut and you come to the keter, every time you connect yourself with the Saviour. Whatever it is what you experience - huge or small problems - try to bring yourself to some point of serenity. First try to do it independently and not that you scream right away to HaShem, which is not the intention. The whole meaning is; you have to walk with two legs here in this world. While you are walking here on this earth and live your life stay connected with Keter but don’t ask right away for help. It is so important to live your life within yourself within your own strengths. When you experience your own strengths probably you will feel miserable. Why? Within your kli there is the malchut and the malchut is very heavy. What can you do? Bring this strength to above and the way to do this is by making your wish thinner. First go to the kli of z’a and then one higher and again higher and higher and so on. When you do this with your own strength you feel relief and at peace. Isn’t this marvellous? Suppose you don’t feel relieved, it is possible you have to work harder, to make thinner your wish. And when you come to the point you feel you can’t do more, than you have arrived at Yeshua and the only thing you can do now is to go beyond your understanding. But who is Yeshua I connect myself? Not the person who is on the cross. One has made all kind of pictures of this person. When you still have the picture of a person from flesh and blood when you think about Yeshua, you are wrong. Forget or change this picture! When you see Yeshua as a person who once lived here on earth, when you still believe in the story they once told you, you don’t work with your own kelim. When you stay in this phase you are as a child. And with all respect, you can’t see Yeshua, you can’t see who he was is and will be in truth. A good Christian says: “The more I’m connected with my belief with Yeshua the more emptiness I feel within my heart”. This is what Mother Theresa said too when she won the Nobel Prize. One thought she was so divine. They thought that mother Theresa could see and speak with Yeshua. But at the end of her life she said: “No, I only feel emptiness”. She was very honest. It was a great sign of how deep her faith was. Remember this so you won’t act and think about Yeshua as someone from flesh and blood. The New Testament is a beautiful addition done by the first Christians. The New Testament isn’t Jews. It doesn’t come from Yeshua. Let me quote Yeshua: “after three days I will arise from the dead and appear to you”. Yeshua accompanied the Christians but not in a way He became a person of flesh and blood. The whole meaning is to connect your self with Yeshua. This is not only spiritual or physical it’s more. When you connect yourself with Yeshua then there is the feeling that you are a being of flesh and blood who lives here in the now. There is the feeling of the divine within you. Due to the connection with Yeshua you attract the light to your whole body… in a way you feel the Creator within you. Or in other words, Yeshua has become the body 42 within you. Meaning your body feels the light that you attracted by way of your connection with Yeshua. Every cell fills itself with the light of HaShem. As Yeshua was in his life, so he is forever. What they had broken from Yeshua was his physical body; only that part was taken from the earth. He was living within a body, that’s true. How? When we get time we will learn. We will learn from the Zohar for example considering the arising of the prophet Elijah. Now it isn’t the right time. For everything there is the right time. There is no need to hurry because then it would become philosophical. Then there will be no understanding but when the time is right we certainly will learn and experience how Elijah was taken alive into Heaven in the way it did happen with Yeshua also. Gradually we will learn during the Zohar lessons and than it will be given at us from above. I started this lesson with to tell you to make no pictures considering Yeshua because every picture is material. A picture can’t rescue you. No cross nor icon has any spiritual value. Of course for the material world it can have some value. It can be a wonderful piece of handcraft but that’s it. The same for the rituals one makes for instance to make a cross. Or to look at the cross, the cross is made from some material, it is only a piece of wood or metal or whatever. Remember this what you can see with your eyes isn’t divine. But when you come in truth to Yeshua you will be connected with Yeshua, meaning you have the absolute faith and sincerity and you live according his word. In a way you receive a new spiritual body. When that happens you feel the changes considering the anger, the evil and all other things that first felt so awful and separated you. Now you can feel how the light enters you. When that happens your anger transforms in the goodness of the light. And all of this happens when you connect yourself with Yeshua. Due to this connection you can feel whole and complete with Yeshua but it is still your body. What you feel is within your kelim; within your kelim you can feel one with Yeshua. And this is something different then to believe in the story that is talking about Yeshua. So different from the stories other people told you ‘Yeshua did this and Yeshua did that’. For example the apostle Paul: There is a description of Paul where he describes how he saw Yeshua (after his dead) and that Yeshua said to him ‘follow me’. With his outer being he saw Yeshua. Remember, Yeshua is a strength and only as a strength you can feel him and not as a being from flesh of blood. Even with the utmost imagination you have to know, no saint can be seen here in flesh and blood. Of course it is a beautiful story and people love stories. And they who founded Christianity knew this; this was the way to show it to the bourgeoisie. Not to corrupt them, it was necessarily for them. For instance: there is something you need to explain at a child, first you give him a picture – and here it was the picture of Yeshua although he hadn’t a picture. And in so many churches you see descriptions of Yeshua. And all the descriptions of Yeshua are different, the picture depends of how one wanted to see Yeshua, catholic, protestant, reformed etc. all of them wanted their picture of Yeshua. Do you understand? It is a statue or a picture instead of the strength of the high Keter. And in Africa there is another picture of Yeshua. A statue what fits in their culture… anyway it is only a kind of civilization. Know a statue or picture of Yeshua is against Yeshua. Should Yeshua be here he would disapprove it. In a way it all belongs to the aspect of idolatry. He would disgust it and at the same time I say, there is nothing wrong in it. It is good for them who belong to the mass. It is good for them who aren’t grown up, for them who haven’t become an adult. When one becomes 43 an adult he has no need for whatever picture of Yeshua in this world. Listen to what mother Theresa said at the end of here life. She was mature; she had the real connection with Yeshua. What did she say at the end of here life? “I only feel emptiness”. This is really a good message for them who are Christians. There is no picture of Yeshua what can rescue you. Therefore connect yourself with the strength of Yeshua, feel the strength of Yeshua within you. From the outside you can’t feel him. Only from within you can feel your keter and nothing else. This is Yeshua in every condition. Stop looking and searching for Yeshua outside your self for example Yeshua on the cross, become mature! Only a mature attitude will help you. Connect yourself with the strength of Yeshua, that is a mature attitude and this experience will rescue you. 44 9. The teaching of Yeshua as we can see in other parts of the Teaching of Redemption. The intention of the laws of the Universe is only to come to the yesod, that you correct yourself to the point of the ateret yesod. The only way to correct your self is that you work hard on yourself and not only live according the rituals and traditions once given. Nowadays you can’t find a rabbi, priest, minister or guru etc who is corrected. No way! The highest they can do is to oppress their wish to receive for themselves, and each one of them does do this in his own special traditional way. Their own evil isn’t the subject or object of their work. What do they do? They make it all flat, flawless and colourless but it still exists! Each person has his own wish to receive and this wish will stay alive, always. Therefore to reduce or kill this wish isn’t the solution; you can’t transform your own evil this way. It is written in the inner laws of the Universe a Jew may not ask interest for lending some money. But there was a great rabbi named Hillel and he saw the desire for money in his brothers and sisters, in the mass so he invented a way to receive some interest. What did he do? He made a covenant between the giver and the receiver of the money and this is named ‘prosbor’. It is an obligation for the holy people to follow the Torah and now they are ‘allowed’ to lend some money. Official without interest but in essence it is interest. I give you this example so you can understand what I mean. The Jewish people have corrupt the laws of the Creator, laws that were meant to help a person to liberate himself. They only learn the Torah arbitrary. And what is more, they replace the spiritual Torah with earthly pictures, earthly imaginations. I can give you a lot of examples of how they have corrupted the Torah. It is forbidden to corrupt the strength of the Torah and one isn’t allowed to undermine the Torah and try to find other solutions. This was the message of Yeshua too. You can learn every religion, no matter which religions have your interest; it won’t bring you to the redemption. Once the holy nation received the way to the redemption and look at them nowadays, they are so fare away!! They are still sleeping and still in a deep slavery. As you may have noticed I spend a lot of time at this teaching of “the Kingdom of Heaven”. In every part of this teaching considering the redemption you can find a lot of finger points to this teaching of ‘the Kingdom of Heaven’. What are the parts we have? There is the teaching of the kingdom of Heaven and this is Keter, followed by the open Torah of Moshe that is daat. The Zohar is the secret Torah - tiferet. The teaching of Kabbalah coming from Etz Chaim of AR”I is yesod. And the Mashiach comes within the malchut once there isn’t the need to learn and teach the spiritual. That will be the time of what is said: “Every flesh will see the Creator”. Whatever part you read, everywhere you can find clues considering the laws coming of the Teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let me give you some idea how to look at the signs given for example in the open Torah of Moshe considering the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is written: “Avraham goes to the promised land”. What is the meaning of the word land? It’s the place within a human being where he can be liberated of his evil and with evil I mean the wish to receive for him self. You can see the open Torah as a tool for how to come to liberation. The nation lived for forty years in the desert and there they studied the Torah in how to come into the Promised Land… And the only thing Yeshua had done was to bring them redemption. When they were living in the desert they were free of the nation of the worlds what means the wish to receive for themselves. In the desert they learned how to work considering the giving so now and 45 then someone crossed their road and they destroyed him and of course the only reason for to act this way was because it was the command of HaShem. Don’t think the deeds Moshe did were from him Moshe spoke with HaShem. Before he did do something he asked HaShem. It was his task to lead the holy nation to the Promised Land. And the Promised Land is Israel, Israel the land of liberation. This is what we see. What are we learning in the Zohar? At this moment we are half way in the first book of Zohar. And already you can see a lot of clues. Not only that, it had an impression on each one of us. Special when we were learning about Habakkuk, about the death of Habakkuk and his resurrection. A lot happened at that moment. It was a moment of revealing due to the concept of Yeshua with the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. Not only that, you can see it in what we have learned considering Keter and about Atik of the world Atzilut. As you know in every keter there is the strength of Yeshua. And the gmar tikun is the absolute redemption. Whatever page you open of the Zohar you can reed about the redemption. And all of this is given to this nation in the four parts of the teaching about the Redemption. Let us look more close to all the references considering Yeshua in the teaching of the five partzufim given at AR”I and to the references in the whole Kabbalah. AR”I took the whole route of the EinSof to our world from the Zohar. And he did this seen from the yesod. In the person of AR”I the whole soul came to the complete development till the yesod while as we look at Shimon it was the development only to the level of tiferet. Of course each one of them developed themselves till they had reached their yesod. For Moshe it was the yesod of daat. For Shimon bar Yochai it was tiferet. But AR”I achieved yesod on the scale of whole mankind. He had the strength to attract the shining of the light chochmah because he was strong enough to reflect the true yesod for whole mankind. How can we see all the references regarding the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven in the teaching of Kabbalah? First there is the EinSof. EinSof only has the wish to give, the wish to build up the world. What is world? World is kli – EinSof created the kli and every moment He creates this kli to give His light within this kli. First there is the creation of shortness followed by the filling given to us by the Light. It was in His thought to create an independent creation, a creation that would be absolutely independent. The creation lacks the light. It only has kli without light. There is One Creator and there is One Creation. Every element of Creation is made in the way that every creature long, desires to individuality. In every creature there is the wish to come to the complete development and fulfilling, and these entire individuals together makes the perfect creation. The next stage is the world of Adam Kadmon. The goal of the Creator is to give all His good and desire at His creation. In these spiritual worlds are the roots of the idea of the Mashiach. In a way here is already the strength of Yeshua only potential meaning very thin. The manifestation will come later – this is only the first partzuf. How is the first partzuf build up? The first partzuf is named Galgalta and something special happens here. The direct light or yashar comes in one step via the mouth peh to the body guf, into the body of a sfirot. The light comes in Adam Kadmon and the light keter has within him all the other nine lights. This is something marvellous. This is only the case here in the partzuf Galgalta. In a way it is only one kli – malchut – and all the ten light entered in one step. Of course there is some order within this one kli, an order considering height and low but still one kli. But already there was present the future kli Keter. In the partzuf Galgalta on the place of the kli keter there was already the light keter. Both are potential present – the kli keter with the light keter. This is something 46 unique and only present in this first partzuf of the creation. When the gmar tikun will be there it will be this way only with a small difference, the high light will come all the way to the world Asiyah. Then the second partzuf comes, this is the partzuf of A”B. What is within this second partzuf? The light keter left the Galgalta and didn’t come back creation. What is so special in this partzuf A”B? During the whole period of correction there isn’t the light of keter within this kelim. Where is the light Keter? The light keter is now beneath the malchut of the head rosh and stays there till the gmar tikun. Why is it there? To help the kelim to get the light – but it isn’t within the kelim but from above and from the outside of the kelim. This is a very special condition – the light keter is outside the kelim, is outside the kelim keter and shines only from a distance. It was the wish of HaShem to make the kelim step by step only to make them independent. Look what happened in the partzuf A”B: the light didn’t come one time but ten times the light went in and out. This is what we name in Kabbalah in the Hebrew language mate we’lo mate. The light comes in the kli keter and leaves the kli keter, comes to the kli keter and goes further to the kli chochmah, it goes out and comes in etc. there is an universal law: the going in and going out of the light makes the kli. You also can see the idea of the Mashiach has his roots here in this partzuf of A”B. There is the shining of the light of keter to his kli keter and you can see this as an intermediary between the light of the head and the kelim, but it stays outside always. It is only an intermediary between the EinSof and the kelim. But the light keter what is now outside has been in the first partzuf of Galgalta, in the creation. First the light Keter entered the Galgalta and went out only afterwards. Therefore the kli keter has some taste of the light keter. Bring in your memory the principle: nothing disappears in the spiritual. The light keter has all the qualities. It has something from the creation coming from the place of the kli keter of the Galgalta – from within there is a trace of this place. The next step is a sign of the name Yeshua, in the light keter there are already hidden some tracks of this future name. But for now it is only a light kelim meaning only structures of the spirituals worlds. On a later stage there will be the engraving within the souls of the human beings. In the partzuf A”B the souls aren’t present. The birth of the souls takes place in the world Atzilut but already the conditions of Yeshua are already present here in the higher worlds. Remember this principle: nothing can come in existence here below if it wasn’t already above. Or in other words: nothing exists in the special what isn’t in the common. But how can the Mashiach come? Was it possible for Yeshua to come here on earth without a trace of his source in the spiritual worlds? Already you can see within the entering of the light and the spreading out of the light the structure and the conditions of the coming of the Mashiach. What I try to do is to give you a global idea of how I work within Kabbalah. Don’t make Kabbalah a science G’d forbid, although it can give you sometimes the impression. In what we learn there is already imbedded the redemption, have this always in your mind. For them who are learning TES have in your mind it is all about the developing of the spiritual worlds, about the unfolding of His thoughts of Creation. And in His thoughts is embedded the strength of the Mashiach, the saviour. When you keep this in mind the learning of TES will give you great satisfaction. Then you already know where it comes from and where it is meant to go. Let me give you a short overview: The third partzuf is Sa”G. What happens in Sa”G? In Sa”G you can see something that 47 looks on the arrival of Yeshua namely keter. Sa”G has two parts: one part has the sfirah keter above the tabur and the second part are the nekudot of Sa”G, nekudot means dot and there are nine dots or nine nekudot and these nine nekudot are nine sfirot of the Sa”G that descend to below under the tabur of Sa”G. Why? Sa”G is binah and binah has an obligation considering zo’n – z’a and nukvah. This third partzuf descends to under the tabur to help them, to give at them. Keep this in your memory; binah only comes down to help them, she is the giving part. When I speak about binah I mean the binah of the common aspect and the binah of the special aspect. In the special aspect there is the existence of binah in every sfirah. When I speak about the ascending to the keter I always mean the binah of the keter. Here in this partzuf you can see the further developing of the idea Mashiach. On the one hand the creation is made as a kli of receiving and this kli is opposite the quality of to give. But is there another way to create a creation than opposite the light? It was and is in His thought the creation would be autonomous. Therefore the creation has only the kli of receiving. Already there was in His thought the parallel of the aspect of two lines. The creating of the kli kabbalah the kli of receiving is on the one hand and this kli causes that the creation separates from the light. Together with the roughening the creation descends further to below. This is the meaning of roughening: the rougher the light the further away of the light. And on the other hand you can see that because of this idea there is the unfolding of the idea of the Mashiach. And at the same time HaShem brings us the way to the redemption in the same creation He created. Isn’t this great? It is said about the Creator, He strikes them who are fair and at the same time He takes care of their wounds. He created the wish to receive and He created the teaching of redemption and He did this by transmuting the wish to receive in the wish to give. And with this came in existence two lines: on one side there is the separation of HaShem and on the other side there is the idea of salvation. This process is to be seen here in Sa”G. The same is happening here. Binah comes down to under the tabur only to help. She comes down to give chasadim at her children. The next step is the world of nekudim. Here in this world nekudim the malchut is present in every kli. This is a further step in developing of the kelim. Something wonderful is happening here in the world nekudim: every sfirah has now two opposites – at the right side we have the sfirah itself and at the left side there is the limitation. In every sfirah the malchut ascends and has here place at the left side of every sfirah. At the right side there is the sfirah – the light chasadim and from the left side there is the limitation. Only when there is limitation there is a relation – then we have the giver and the receiver. This is the world nekudim. Instead of speaking left and right it is possible to divide the world nekudim in an upper- and under part. The upper part can receive the light while the under part – under the parsa – the light can’t be received. So what does the Creator do? The Creator does do something wonderful. He breaks the kelim of the world nekudim and after this breaking He mingles them because both are part of His creation. So first He breaks the kelim and this is the cause of the masachim. Every part has in itself two parts: the part what can receive the light, the good part and the part what can’t receive – the bad part. Every fragment has something of what belongs to above the chazeh – the light and has something what belongs to under the chazeh – here is only shortness or desire. Every fragment has something of the good and something of the evil. This is very special. In this you can see a further developing of the idea of the Mashiach. Every part doesn’t matter how big or small the part is, both have these two parts: light and darkness, good and evil, do you understand? Why did He do 48 this? Now in every part there is the redemption and the creation can receive it. In every part there are sparks of light and due to this every fragment can correct itself because of the light is already there and now there is the possibility to step out the darkness into the light. This is the world nekudim. The next world is the world of Atzilut. This is the world of correction. This world Atzilut is build up in two parts. The right part is the world Atzilut. This side of the partzufim is light, is light of the level nefesh with a trace of ruach. The left side of the world Atzilut contains the broken kelim that can be corrected. Again you can see the developing of the Mashiach, how the correction can go further in the creation. Is there more to see in the world Atzilut? The malchut of the first limitation is now hidden in the atik of the world Atzilut. Is there a consequence? Everything what is now under this malchut can receive. Before this moment it wasn’t possible to receive the light chochmah in the malchut because of the first limitation. Now she is hidden here in the atik and due to this it is possible for everything what is beneath her to receive the light because she isn’t the true malchut. From the arich anpin of the world Atzilut there is no malchut of the first limitation. Instead of this malchut there is the ateret yesod meaning the creation can receive the light from this point of the arich anpin. There are two points in the malchut. There is the point of the tzimtzum alef and this point doesn’t let through the light of Creation. The second point is the malchut of the second tzimtzum and by way of this point the light can come through to the creation because here the malchut is connected with the binah and the malchut of the first tzimtzum can’t stop the light here. Therefore it is here where we see the further development of the creation in their way to the liberation. Here in this point we have the realisation of the idea of the Mashiach. In a way the Mashiach already exists only in the worlds and not in the souls. And here in the world Atzilut are created the souls. We already know that there are created souls but how? How was created Adam? Pay attention I will clear it for you short. The z’a and nukvah were ascended to the binah, to the aba father and ima mother of the world Atzilut. Here in this place was the birth of Adam. Who is beneath the aba and iema and z’a? It is the place of the birth of Adam. This is the place of the roots of all the souls. Now you can see the roots of the souls are yesod and z’a of the world Atzilut. Why? This all could happen because the zo’n ascended to this place and received the light of the aba and iema; due to this the birth of Adam took place here in this place. The light of aba was given to z’a and the light of iema was given to nukvah. It isn’t possible to let the souls be born here in our place; it is only possible in the place of aba and iema. The light aba and ima have is named neshamah and the human being is in need of this neshamah. This is our source. The meaning of births is one step lower than the father and mother. Here it means that the place of the roots of the souls is from Israel Saba and Tvunah and further to below there are z’a and nukvah of the world Atzilut. In the Torah there you find the names of Avraham, Yitzchak, Ya’akov etc, these persons where highly justified people and they were the carriers merkavah of the strengths of the z’a of the world Atzilut. There is no keter in the z’a instead of keter there is the sfirah daat. Z’a has three lines and has the three sfirot of the head: chochmah binah and daat. Normally the z’a only has six sfirot and no head. When there is the gadlut great condition in the z’a he has nine sfirot: in the head there are chochmah binah and daat, in the body there are chesed gevurah and tiferet and in the bottom of the body there are netsach hod and yesod. The true malchut isn’t working here in the world Atzilut although we speak of the malchut because here is the second tzimtzum but in real we mean the ateret yesod. In the world Atzilut the order is 49 this: there are nine sfirot and the tenth sfirot is the ateret yesod. As I said before the z’a himself has no keter, the keter was given to him by way of binah. She gave him the keter because she loved her son z’a so much. Now we have reached an important phase in the development of the spiritual worlds. Yeshua the Redeemer had his first appearance as a human being here on earth and he was clothed with this keter of the z’a that was given to him by way of binah. This is the inner level of Yeshua with the purity of binah. Can you imagine what kind of soul this was? On the one hand he was indeed a human being and on the other hand he was as binah. And you already know binah is pure chasadim, binah is the pure wish of to give. Now you can understand why in Christianity Yeshua was for them as G’d. But in real this keter hasn’t the characteristics of the z’a! It still belongs to the binah and the binah is divine. Z’a and nukvah of the world Atzilut are already the creation. Z’a and nukvah or Zo’n are the creation. So far what did you learn? Who is the creation? The creation is z’a and nukvah and Yeshua is the keter of z’a coming from the binah. Binah isn’t the creation she belongs to the Creator. Everything what you just have read is special; there is no place in the world where you can find this. This comes from the deepest sources of the Kabbalah. This is the highest theology ever and it is revealed now for you for the first time. Yeshua is keter and this keter comes from the binah. On the one hand keter became the keter of z’a and z’a is the creation. This keter has become as the creation because he belongs to the z’a now. And on the other hand keter hasn’t the characteristics of the z’a. This keter of the z’a is a very special keter. Later we will learn more about this and your eyes will see different and more. This keter belongs to the binah and binah isn’t the creation. Binah is pure divinity, there is absolutely no evil in this binah therefore Yeshua didn’t knew the evil. This keter is descended to the nine sfirot of the z’a in the condition of gadlut to be the crown for the z’a. Z’a is the strength of ‘Israel from above’ and here below on this earth there is the nation of Israel who are the carriers of the strength of z’a. It is there destiny to bring them selves in conformity with the higher z’a and to carry here below the strength of z’a and to pass it on. What does this mean? The keter of the z’a of the world Atzilut is the strength of binah. This keter of the z’a has his strength of the binah. It was given by here at a higher part of the z’a. Here in the z’a of the world Atzilut is the strength of the redemption because binah brings the redemption to here children, to the spiritual sphere that has the name of creation and she binah gives it to the partzufim of z’a and nukvah. Exactly the same has to take place here on earth considering the souls. This strength of redemption came down here in the body of Israel in the same way. And this is the strength Yeshua. There is the strength of Yeshua in the spiritual worlds and there is the strength of Yeshua here on earth. The Yeshua here on earth was clothed in the keter of the z’a. He is the carrier the merkavah the clothing of the keter of the z’a in his body here on earth. The spirit is still above but his body was here on earth. His spirit came down here on earth and with this I mean the nation of Israel - z’a with his own nine sfirot. Yeshua is the keter, the crown of the nation of Israel because he is standing in the spiritual world also. From above the soul of Yeshua is clothed with the z’a of the world Atzilut. Keter means crown and a crown does belong to a king. Therefore Yeshua is in strength the king of the nation of Israel. And on the other end there are the souls here below in the creation because the soul is the end, a soul is the crown of the whole creation. And the souls are clothed with these persons who have the thought of Creation in them and to do the last touch, to bring the creation to fulfilment, to wholeness. Only by way of the ascending of ma’n done by these souls here 50 on earth parts of the worlds BieJ’A can be corrected. Therefore HaShem sent the soul of Yeshua to below so he could reveal His thought. Before this soul of Yeshua came here on earth he was the ga’r of the keter of the world Atzilut. Now you can understand why the redemption can be received only via Yeshua. He is the ga’r of the keter of the world Atzilut. Do you still remember where the malchut of the malchut was hidden in the Atzilut? He was hidden in the head of Atik. Atik is the head of the head of the keter of the world Atzilut. Keter, chochmah and binah all three of them form the head of Atik. Beneath the ga’r of the binah of the Atik there is hidden the true malchut of the malchut of the whole Universe, not only from the human being but from the whole Universe too. As I have said already the soul of Yeshua was clothed with the body of this world, the clothing of the keter of the z’a of the Atzilut. Do you still remember? His soul came here on earth and was clothed on the level of the keter of the z’a of the Atzilut. But first his soul was clothed with the head of the Atik of the Atzilut and in the head of the Atik of the Atzilut there is the place of the malchut of the malchut. Or in other words, the soul of Yeshua before he came here on earth was clothed with the head of the keter of the Atzilut. Were can you find the true malchut during the 6000 years of creation - beneath the binah of the keter of the Atik. And the soul of Yeshua was above the place of the malchut of the malchut of the whole universe who was in the world of Atzilut. Of course this is a kind of clothing because it is in a way a kli. It is the thinnest kli of the world Atzilut and it is the connection between Adam Kadmon and the lower worlds. In a way the soul of Yeshua didn’t have aviyut of the malchut of the malchut as the rest of the creation has. In him there was of course the malchut of the keter of Atik in his kli before he came here to earth. He was the soul of the head of Atik. And within there were the seven lower sfirot of the malchut of the Adam Kadmon. Do you still remember? It is always this way, the seven lower of a higher step are within the upper part of the lower step. Therefore he had the seven lower of the malchut of Adam Kadmon within him. Here in Adam Kadmon there isn’t the mention of a real aviyut but there was something because EinSof was within his partzuf Galgalta therefore the EinSof was also within him and this was the first form of a kli. And this was also the condition of the soul of Yeshua before his descending and before he clothed himself with the body of our world. His soul was from Atik and descended to our world. While he was descending to our world Yeshua put on the keter of the z’a of the Atzilut. Please pay attention. It isn’t easy to talk about but gradually it will be given to you. Because of this reason there was, is and there will never be a human earthly being who is to compare with the soul of Yeshua. Neither Moshe, nor AR”I nor Shimon bar Yochai. In a way it is super natural. Listen or read with the utmost attention because this is very special. What is the Creator? What are the worlds? This is EinSof – the light himself – who had spread out more and more and his light became rougher and rougher so the kelim could come in existence. But there is a spiritual law that there is in the spiritual no disappearing. EinSof stays on his place without any connection with the creation. But to create the creation he had to make a kind of roughening and this he did by way of the Adam Kadmon. Within Adam Kadmon there are all kind of structures necessarily to create the right sphere so he could create a human being here on earth. What has been brought to here is the high law and the human being himself has to make the finishing touch. In a way the Creator, the light, the source has clothed Himself with the body of our world. It was His wish to be in this sphere of our world in the form of a human being. Why - to bring forth the living word, to bring the 51 strength to whole humanity for to save them. Not in the way of kosher or not kosher, allowed or not allowed or the knowing but He wanted to be experienced in a very deep way. It was his wish to be experienced in a direct way meaning him and the human being. Therefore the Creator had clothed Himself with the body of a human being. Is this clear to you? I’m not talking about the Immaculate Conception or that kind of things. When you will learn the Brit Chadashah you will see gradually. Is it possible to bring the Creator who is invisible, who can’t be connected, is it possible to bring Him in something what is mortal for instance the human body? The Creator gave His strength to His son; he had the strength of the ‘son of G’d’. What do I mean with this? The father is the cause en the son is the reason. This is where the Torah is speaking about. I’m not talking about a being of flesh and blood. EinSof clothed Himself with all the clothing’s there are. Concentrate yourself, the soul comes from the head of Atik and within Atik there is EinSof. What I try to say is the highest you will ever hear or read. No theology can reach this point. Do I speak about the highest position, no! The next one will be Eli and he will make it clearer. The source of the soul of Yeshua is within the head of Atik before he descended to our world and put on the clothing of our world. While he was coming down he clothed the keter of the z’a of the world Atzilut. But all of this took place within the head of Atik. Before Yeshua came down within him was the head of Atik. This is above the malchut of the malchut. First there was the Adam Kadmon but it is still the EinSof. In a way EinSof is the Creator. EinSof is within the head of the keter of the Atik, He is the source of the soul of Yeshua. And it was the Creator Himself who let him down to the keter of the z’a of the world Atzilut. How do I know this? By way of the Kabbalah! Don’t think I make this up. All the things I am telling you are coming from the Etz Chaim and other deep sources of the Kabbalah and nowhere else! For example when you know how the world nekudim was and how it was after the correction of the world nekudim, in the world Atzilut, then you knows the keter goes to the parsa. For now I don’t have the right words to explain this to you, this isn’t the right place but the whole keter of Atik goes as a kli till the parsa of the world of Atzilut. If this is the way the soul can take the same route to below. It was EinSof who let down the soul of Yeshua and to cloth in the keter of the z’a of the world Atzilut. There is no disappearance in the spiritual. Therefore it is not so rare to say that HaShem or G’d clothed Himself with the body of the human being here in our world - the strength of keter who hasn’t an aviyut considering the human being because keter has the aviyut of the phase zero. This strength doesn’t belong to יהוה because it is the dot of the letter יyud. Only by way of this name every person, regardless to which nation he belongs or to which religion he belongs, he can receive his redemption. Also religion is a clothing, it is a mix of human intelligence and a little of the truth but beyond this structure every being has the same structure. Only by way of Yeshua, by way of this strength man can find his redemption. The whole nation, everyone can receive a small light, a little nefesh regardless what his religious may be. But when you want to receive the light ruach or even the light neshamah you need to work hard. It was Yeshua who showed us it that there is no other way. In a way it is symbolic of what has to take place within a human being. It was necessarily for us to see it from the outside, physically, as a tragedy in the best form so the human being can come gradually within himself. He has to come to an understanding beyond the intellect otherwise he can’t accept Yeshua. Only Yeshua can save you and you… and whole mankind. The Creator had one son and this son he had sacrificed for us to bring him here 52 below. But there is no disappearing in the spiritual. After the sacrificing he returned to HaShem and he will be there always under HaShem, under the light as an advocate for His Father. Do you want to come to the light ascend to Yeshua! The soon your belief grows you will experience marvelous things. You can endure everything! All the material worries will belong to the past because you will overcome them. You will feel you are guided too because you too will become part of HaShem and His son. You will be as His son, as Yeshua! 53 10. Brit Chadashah – the new covenant in Spirit Yeshua spoke with his students in the Hebrew and Aramaic language. To see the Hebrew letters and to connect yourself with the Hebrew letters will enlighten you. During the lessons there will be place to deepen you into the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven and how to come there. This is our goal: gradually to come alive, to create a place within ourselves according the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Along with this the redemption will accompany you. All the laws given in the Torah are holy laws but the way how rabies have interpreted these laws, the way to make them understandable for the common people wasn’t the way to bring them to the real redemption. I will not make it easier for you! Neither did Yeshua! Yeshua came down to us to uplift us and not to degrade the holiness as something earthly meaning only the wish to receive for ourselves. A human being has to come to his own redemption and to his highest fulfillment; this is the wish of the Creator! But not in the way the human being has done so far. Mostly a human being is satisfied with what he is. To begin you have to understand this: what is the real meaning of the words Old Testament and New Testament? To begin with the word testament this isn’t a Hebrew word. The meaning of the word brit is covenant. The Old Testament is an old covenant – brit basar kodesh – the covenant of the holy flesh or the covenant to the flesh. Please concentrate yourself because this is one of the principles you have to know otherwise you won’t understand what redemption is. This is a very deep secret, so deep to understand and on the other hand it is easy. The Creator or HaShem had made a covenant with the Jewish people, the covenant to the flesh. The covenant with the patriarch Avraham brit milah or circumcision is to see by way of the flesh HaShem. Without the covenant of the flesh there wasn’t the covenant with the Creator. In Hebrew flesh means basar and actually it is the yesod. This is one of the reasons the Torah gives so much attention to the ‘flesh’. As you already may know in the Jews laws the cleansing of the hands, the flesh and other material things has an important role. It’s an allegory referring to the future covenant HaShem wanted to do in the second phase of the revealing of His creation. In the last book of the Torah Moshe mentions this: after me there will be another prophet and you have to listen to him. But they didn’t, they didn’t want to listen but stayed in the covenant of the flesh. You need to hear this a thousand times before it will penetrate you and then may be you hear what I say. Thousands of nights I couldn’t sleep, there was no way out for me. The first covenant was the covenant of the flesh the Creator made with the Jewish people. And Moshe said that there would be another prophet meaning there will be a manifestation after him and he is the one you have to listen to. Then came Yeshua and what was the covenant he brought with him - the Brit Chadashah - the covenant of the spirit. Be alert in what I am now going to say to you: the old covenant was the covenant to the flesh and the new covenant is the covenant of the spirit. But what is the body…the flesh…it doesn’t count any longer here in the second phase. This was the message Yeshua had for us; the covenant of the spirit has come. The covenant of the spirit… what is left of the importance of my flesh? Of course I have to pay attention and keep my body clean but is there more... each one of use have to penetrate the flesh with the Holy Spirit. Only this can bring us to the redemption. The covenant of the flesh wasn’t enough. It is only the first phase and this first covenant with HaShem wasn’t enough. Of course the Jews had 54 accept this and that was revolutionary because who in the world knew G’d? The world was with pagans and godless. The Jews were the first one who accepted in the flesh the Creator. And of course this was a great act and they received the mercy from above but it wasn’t enough. The second phase the covenant of the spirit was and is needed too. This time it came for the whole world, first to the Jews but also to them who aren’t Jews. But what did the Jewish people say? “We have the law of Moshe”. But Moshe pointed out to Yeshua also but this they couldn’t accept. What is holy for the Jewish people, what do they see as G’d? Light. They see the Creator as someone who hasn’t a body and has nothing to do with the material; the Creator is for them light, pure light not clothed with kelim. That is what they see “we are flesh and He is light”. For the Jewish people the Creator is someone who helps them, take care of them but they see it from the attitude as we ‘we the Jewish people’. Why? Because most of them are afraid to say: “The Creator has a personal relation with me”. But why are they afraid? The reason is they see the Creator as something non-material, for them the Creator is the High Light and they are from the flesh, they feel themselves so opposite to the Light, but isn’t this the first phase of the experience of the divine? Or in other words they are looking in the sky and see the birds flying in the sky. They see the birds but they can’t touch them. To be a Jew has everything to do with the light and this is wonderful. Only the light is de source of live and they stay in the thinking of “who am I, I’m so small and the light is so high, too high for me what can the light do for me? I’m so small how can I connect myself with Him?” This is only possible by way of the Torah. But he is still learning how to follow the mitzvoth in a childish way meaning with the covenant of the flesh. And that is not enough. Two phases are needed in everything. The first phase is the preparation. Why do we need two phases? There are two places within a partzuf. There is in a kli the place of achor the back and panim the front. The first phase is the achor the back and this is darkness. Is there another way to recognize the light otherwise then with a dark background? There is no other way to see the light then with kelim. What are kelim? Kelim is a form of darkness of the light. In everything we need the aspect of the opposite. From the darkness the light is to be seen. There is no other way - this is Judaism. What is Christianity? Pay attention in what I’m now going to say. No one can give you this answer. Of course they have sublime insights but they are coming from their own religion. They can’t step out of their own religion therefore they can’t see with a neutral position. What is Christianity? It is the same as in Judaism only in Christianity there is the belief of the embedding of the light, of the embedding of the Creator within the kli keter. For them this is G’d and they name it the son of G’d and they are right. But it is due to the Judaism. The Jews have done the preparation, they had the covenant to the flesh and as a result the second covenant could come. This is the covenant with the spirit, the covenant with Yeshua. So in Christianity both are there. The source is the covenant to flesh coming from the Jews and the second covenant also came from the Jews, the covenant of the spirit. From this second covenant they took something but only something because it was and is not enough. For instance they didn’t took the laws of the Torah. So what is then the source of their religion? What is their belief? The Jews believe in the high light but without kelim this in contrast with the Christians who believe that the light is embedded within the Father - the body of the prophet who is for them as G’d. This is the embedding in the keter where no aviyut is and is as G’d. For them Yeshua is as the Son of Light, they have the kli keter and the Holy Spirit. They have the Father, the 55 Son and the Holy Spirit, what does this mean? Where does this come from? They know about it but there is no understanding. In the fourth part of TES we have learned about the second distribution that in the keter stays behind two reshimot tracks namely the male and female. After the pouring out of the light of the first distribution the male staYeshuad behind. But you know that when the light leaves it never disappears completely, what stays behind is something you can compare with a candle that is burning, this is reshimot a track of light. There were two reshimot there, one reshimot is the kli self, Yeshua the son. The Father is the light chochmah that entered the partzuf of A’B, the second partzuf. The light chochmah is embedded within the kli keter. And spirit is the male reshimot that stayed behind in the partzuf in the world Atzilut. How is build up the world Atzilut? What are the two components? There are two parameters in every spiritual object; one is the hitlabshut, a reshimot that points out what kind of light was there before because there is the here and after. In everything there is cause and reason. We can measure a spiritual object by way of two things - the light that had been there and the trace that staYeshuad behind. And there is the second aviyut, which is the thickness of a wish with the masach within the spiritual object. Remember the reshimot of the light is always one step higher than the reshimot of the aviyut. What are the two subjects used in the building up of the world Atzilut? This is the first phase and the phase zero. The first phase is hitlabshut. What light was there? What was the reshimot of the hitlabshut? Ruach. The whole world Atzilut is build up with the reshimot of the light ruach. This is the first phase. And the aviyut of the phase zero is the nefesh. The female – nefesh is phase zero and the male – ruach is phase 1. Strength in the keter with the aviyut 0 and this is the kli Yeshua. Let us look again to the image of the Christians: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The kli keter is nefesh and is Yeshua the son. The light what is embedded within the kli keter is the Father and the reshimot of the light ruach is the Holy Spirit or in Hebrew ruach hakodesh. When you learn Kabbalah you come to the understanding of every religion, science and whatever we have here on earth. From within you will receive the feeling that what you see, feel and experience is the holy teaching. This won’t happen in religion because religion is partial; it is mingled with the material. When you come deeper in Kabbalah you will see and sometimes you can measure it and place it on the Tree of Life. Why? Kabbalah is the base of all-possible knowledge! Question of a student: why was there such a splitting? This is a good question. First I’m not talking about religions, I have no interest but I need it to come closer to the divine. Why is this? First the Jews were against Christianity. In real they are very close but why are the Jews and the Christians split? The Jews believe in one G’d, a G’d that isn’t materialized or in other words isn’t embedded. Not one person knows where He is, where His place is because they are looking outside themselves. They can’t experience the Creator in a physically way only by way of imagines. This is the experience of only religion. There is not one Jew who can tell you he has a person connection with G’d. And he is right! Jewish people don’t accept the kli keter. But if they would do so…this is a very deep subject but I do my best to explain it to you in a simple way. There is no acceptation of the kli keter in a Jew. Not personal and not in the creation. Why? They can’t accept the embedding of the Creator, of the Father in the kelim of creation. For them the Creator is outside… Look for example at the 13 postulates of the belief of Maimon. The Creator doesn’t connect himself with nobody. For them it is impossible the 56 Creator can connect Himself with something or someone. They saw the Creator has to be the source of live but suppose, when there would be a connection with something what is limit, He can’t be perfect! Therefore they can’t accept the embedding of the light within a kelim, in the kli keter. Know the Creator is always embedded only in the kli keter. The Creator is within every kli keter. The next step is for the human being, he has to attract the shining of the Creator to the lower kelim by way of the daat and further below. Within the four lowest kelim of creation there is no light. This is what I name ‘the black box’; this is the יהוהof the kelim. It is without light and there is the creation. But in the keter there is embedded the light always. Now the Jews don’t accept the kli keter because they believe the Creator isn’t connected with the creation. This is one of their thirteen principles of their belief. It was necessarily to dissociate with all the material. In their perception the Creator can’t connect Himself with the creation. For them the Creator and the human being are separated. Therefore they can’t accept the kli keter. But when there is no accepting of the kli keter how in earth can they receive the light? They only have aviyut but they lack the accepting of the keter and within the keter there is the Creator. What do they accept - the black box, the four phases, the יהוהof the Creation. Is there a possibility to connect the black box meaning a human being without keter, with the light? The creation – the four phases – is the wish to receive for oneself. This is the denial of to give and light is to give! Is it possible to connect day and night, light and darkness because they are so contrary? It is impossible for them to make the connection between light- the giver and the human being – the receiver because there is no kli keter. Do you understand? This is why the Jews from within are against Christianity. In Christianity there is the belief of the materializing of G’d within the human being and this is really disgusting for he who is a Jew. There argumentation is: how can something what is infinite be embedded in what is as tiny as a human being? For your intellect it is hard to understand. Is it possible a Jew can become a Christian? They tried it in early days. But only to receive a higher standard or to practice a certain occupation etc but do you think that from within a Jew became or can become a Christian? I don’t think so! I have searched in many books of the secret Kabbalah but I haven’t found one word about this subject. For thousands of years the belief of a Jew is so programmed he believes only in the light, the pure light and not in the embedding of the light within a kli, is it possible for him to believe that G’d is embedded within a kli? There is no reason for him at all. That’s why they are from within so against Christianity. But first there was Judaism and only later Christianity. The fundament of Christianity is the message of Yeshua, Brit Chadashah, the covenant of the spirit. Don’t think Yeshua only came for the Christians He came for whole mankind. His message is the new covenant meaning the covenant in spirit and not in flesh. Of course the Jewish nation is a very old nation, old in the meaning of ‘blood and spirit’ but the newer younger nations for example Christians, he who was a heathen and became a Christian are new and younger considering the Jews. See it this way, from the first beginning there was Judaism and they are still here. The second covenant was the covenant of the spirit and the newer nation took this as their religion. And not only this, it gave them the entrance to the redemption but only the entrance. They only can look at the redemption from outside the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven. Why? They only receive the shining of the kli keter but they can’t ascend by themselves to the kli keter. They only can receive the kli keter from a distance. And what is more; they can’t attract the light to below to the lower kelim. The Jewish people have more 57 depth because Moshe brought them to the kli of daat. Shimon bar Yochai brought them even lower to the kli tiferet and Yitzchak Luria brought them to the yesod. The Jewish people still don’t accept what is beneath the kli daat and this is the problem. Therefore they stay attached at the kli daat and they still try to understand the divine with their head. As long there is no accepting of the others they will occupy themselves with their head. The Jewish people only use their head considering the divine. While it is the wish of the Creator that every human being lives with G’d within himself meaning experience his own kelim only when the Creator can come within the kelim, within the body the person can experience G’d. This is what we call Life and not the intellectual reasoning’s with the head. I hear the Jewish people and their rabies talk but what they say is childish and spiritual immature. They have their intellect but they refuse to go beyond their intellect. Let me quote Yeshua who said that their head are so big therefore they aren’t capable to enter through the eye of the needle within the divine, within the Kingdom of Heaven. Due to this they refuse the redemption. From above they have no redemption! Their roots are gone, why - because they only receive the shining of the kli daat and this is only because they still working with there heads and lips. This is what I mean with from their lips to outside. It doesn’t come from their heart. They lack the willpower because the willpower has to come from their belief. And belief comes from their accepting of the kli keter and this is the missing link. The keter isn’t there only because they don’t want to come to keter. From origin they had free entrance to the kli keter. Because of the fact that they ignored him they have lost the contact with the keter and without keter there is no experience of the light. There is no Jew who can experience the Creator. Of course he knows about the Creator but only with his head. But between the knowing and the feeling there is a difference of day and night. Christianity grasp at the keter. They are grasping at the covenant of the spirit but they can’t go further. They can’t bring it down therefore they think that the redemption will come in the afterlife. This is due to the shining of the keter from the surrounding light. This gives him the feeling it is outside from a future world instead of this world. But it has to be here on this earth. Now you can understand why it is necessarily to learn as well the Old Testament as the New Testament. It is necessarily to study both because they belong to one teaching about the redemption. Clear? The Torah and the Zohar, the Etz Chaim and later, with G’ds help, when we are ready with Shlavei haSulam then we can start with Brit Chadashah – the New Testament in Hebrew. Then we can connect everything and this will be the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Torah is deeper in the kelim. We need the Zohar to explain the Torah. And we need Etz Chaim of Ari to explain all the other parts by way of the sfirot. When a person learns the New Testament what does he receive? He receives from one kli namely the kli keter. Pay attention because this is very important. There is only the light nefesh when one would study only the Teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven without the other three parts of the teaching of Redemption. A Christian and each person who belongs to the Christian religion receive only the light nefesh of the kli keter. But when you study the Torah and you connect it with the study of the Kingdom of Heaven you will receive another light namely ruach. Ruach means the Holy Spirit or in Hebrew ruach hakodesh. Than he or she will receive the Holy Spirit. But when someone study the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Torah the kli keter enters within the light ruach. We are learning the Zohar and Ari therefore we can receive the neshamah and chayah. We will study the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven in a way that we attract the lights beginning 58 with the nefesh till the light chayah. Not only one kli but till the yesod. From the yesod we let ascend the light or chozer to the keter. We will pick up four lights here in the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. Everything is connected. When we learn the Kingdom of Heaven we need the elementary of the New Testament in the Hebrew language. But there is one thing you have to know, free yourself of the traditional New Testament and Yeshua. Not forget but free yourself to start fresh so you can experience it in a new way because I will do it in another way! I will attract the deeper light from the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. I will make the connection between all the four parts in the teaching of our Lurian Kabbalah. Of course everything is in the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven but only potential. But you have to know that they need each other. The teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven isn’t enough we need to wake up the other kelim. It is the wish of the Creator that we do more then only grasp at the kli keter and sing hallelujah. He wants us to development all the four kelim within ourselves. This is what Yeshua wants too he doesn’t want to stay outside. The wish of Yeshua is that we will come to Him. But this is only possible when a person can surrender himself at the kli keter in the same way Yeshua did when he sacrificed himself, only then a person can receive his own kli keter. Do you remember what Yeshua said, “my body is the bread and my blood is wine”. What is the meaning of these words? My body means chasadim. The light of the Father that is within the high Keter manifests himself as two sorts of light namely chasadim and as the shining of chochmah. When Yeshua said: “eat my bread,” means take in my chasadim. When He said: “drink my blood,” means receive my chochmah. How can I receive the chochmah - not only via the kli keter but also when you return from the Kingdom of Heaven to your yesod? There is no disappearing in the spiritual. The moment you have arrived in your kli yesod the light chochmah can enter in the kli keter. Then you can take in the blood or in other words you can take in Yeshua within yourself. What I do is to explain the holy writings by way of Kabbalah. Only this way you can come to the understanding of what is written in the Torah. This is the only way too to understand and to experience what is written in the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven. Of course there are a lot of explanations, beautiful explanations a person can feel good overwhelmed but it won’t rescue him. I have learned marvelous things in the Torah and in the Talmud but the rescue I couldn’t find because there was no connection with the keter. Without keter it means nothing. When you read TES look carefully and you will see it is all about keter. If you read TES see how the whole fifth upper part of every five phases is only about keter and this you can find back in everything. AR”I didn’t mention Yeshua he is only talking about keter. Without keter understanding is impossible because in keter is hidden the Creator. There is no other entrance to the light, to the rescue. Yeshua is the High Keter. He is the coordinated Keter. A few days ago I saw something on the telly. There was a person who had studied for many years theology in Rome and now he had written a book about Augustine. He was very honest and he said he hadn’t found the Creator. But not only that he also said Augustine hadn’t find the Creator either, so as a consequence neither the Fathers of the church. In his point of view Augustine had his doubts. This is marvelous. This gives me an insight that the Fathers of the church were honest men, they knew about the Creator but they couldn’t find Him. What does this mean? Only that they couldn’t bring Him within their own kelim and now we are living in a time it is possible for us to do this, we can bring it to our yesod. Without a Canonization it is possible nowadays for you too, you only have to guard your 59 yesod! In those days it was impossible. They could guard their head and even the shining of the guarding could come to the heart but not in the yesod. This is the reason why the light didn’t come so deep. And there were and are people who are so honest they admit that they don’t know the Creator. Religion only describes the Creator, good things about the Creator but they don’t know Him due to the varieties of the light. First you have to receive from the keter. If there is no receiving from the keter how can it go to the lower kelim? And they were so honest and said: “no I didn’t find the Creator”. All the Holy Fathers saw the shining of the light nefesh and that was what they did, speak about this light and they build up a great theology upon this light. They could speak about the Creator from several points of views but it stayed from the perspective of the keter because there was the light coming from. But they lacked the possibility to attract the light from the depth. Of course the Jews - and for heaven sake I don’t blame them but the Jews are of course in the middle. It is impossible for the Jews to explain the Torah in a way it would help them who are Christians and I mention the Christians because they are the spiritual younger brothers of the Jews. The human being is in need of the Bible to let the light that is within the Bible would penetrate the beings because a Jew or he ignores the bible or he doesn’t know the way to handle the bible properly. It is because of the Jewish nation the light can shine at the rest of the world and the rest of the world means at everyone even the Christians. What does this mean? Than the light can enter within a deeper kelim but unfortunately the Jews don’t do this. That’s why Augustine couldn’t find the Creator because the Jews – even in the time of Augustine and other Fathers of the church - were busy with the Torah in such a way it didn’t help, not for them or for others. The only reason for this is because they interpreted the Torah from the covenant with the flesh. They were busy with for instance how to wash their hands, the ritual bath and how to clean pots and pans…. does this help? It is still divine laws but the Jewish people couldn’t come to the keter therefore there is no shining to them and by way of them to others. Do you see what I mean if I say that the Jewish people are an obstacle for the light, they don’t pass on the light! This is the essence to pull the Kingdom of Heaven to the Torah, to the Jews. It is so important that they accept Yeshua. Not by becoming a Christians for heaven sake no but only accept Yeshua because he is their Keter, their highest King – he is the keter for whole mankind. If only the great Jewish leaders would make this clear to the Jewish nation, not by becoming a Christian but only by way of accepting Yeshua … Or let me put it this way, it would be devastating if a Jew becomes a Christian. Pleas read carefully my words, the Jewish people may not become Christians they only have to accept Yeshua, that’s enough. Suppose the Jews would become Christians, is there somebody who can receive the high light and to pass it on? It would be devastating. The Jewish people have to stay on their own place and while they are standing there accept Yeshua from the bottom of their heart. This would give us a very reliable passing way of two sfirot: keter and daat. The next step would be the accepting of the Zohar by the Jews because now they say: “We can’t learn the Zohar, the Zohar is too high. The Zohar is so divine there is nobody who can reach this!” And indeed they are right. Why? First there has to be the accepting of Yeshua, the kli keter only then than the Torah will reveal his secrets. Than the light of ruach can shine through the Torah and than your eyes will be opened for the Zohar. Clear? Now you may understand why the Jewish people don’t understand the Zohar and Etz Chaim from AR”I. They can’t and they don’t have the 60 understanding as long they ignore the teaching of Yeshua, as long they don’t accept the kli keter. For this reason the great rabbi Yosef Karo a student of AR”I was sleeping during his lessons. Karo was a genius, he wrote several things for example the Shulchan Aruch – the codex of the daily laws for the Jews. Many Jews did and are studying this profound piece of work very accurate. He was a wise man, he had knowledge of everything and he was a good person but the keter he couldn’t understand. Of course he knew that what his teacher was teaching him was divine… he knew AR”I spoke on behalf of HaShem but for him… he couldn’t, that’s why he fell asleep. He came to the lessons but he fell a sleep. The keter was so high so powerful for him and the same we see with a few of the best students of Yeshua. Do you remember the day Yeshua took them to the garden of Gethsemane? What did Yeshua say? “Stay awake, be alert!” (Meaning stay with me and don’t fall in your spiritual sleep). But they couldn’t. The flesh, the four lower phases couldn’t handle the Keter. Don’t we have the proverb ‘the mind is willing but the flesh is weak’. In that night the strength of Yeshua was so powerful they couldn’t handle all those spiritual tension, so incredible high but still strengths of din, they couldn’t experience it. They wanted to be part of it but they couldn’t. Yeshua ascended the mountain and prayed and went down and found them a sleep. And there is another story about Yeshua who mounted a mountain and they saw him in a white cloth together with the prophets Eli and Moshe. It was outrageous and if it was real or not, they couldn’t bare it. What did Petros Paul say? “Shall I build up three tents for the three of you?” The level of the strengths of keter was too high for them therefore they fell a sleep. This is why they have made rituals, to make the spiritual more material. Last night I saw on the telly a program about art in the Vatican. I saw a lot of paintings passing by but all with naked men and only a few naked women. This is the story from the conservator: “the roots of Christianity lies in the Jewish religion but the Jewish art has the most poor vision of art’. It was namely forbidden for them to portrait a human being. And more he said: “In Christianity there are a lot of statues and this represents the wealth of the Creator”. A statue no matter if it is naked or not, that’s not the problem but the danger lies in the idolizing of the statue. The next step is the idolizing of the statues. For example an ordinary person who is sitting in a church sees the statue of Yeshua and he kneels for this statue but from within he lacks the strengths, he can’t feel the strength of Yeshua, the strength of redemption. And Yeshua brought to us the covenant of the spirit and not the covenant with the statue. The same we see in temples in other religions. Of course statues can be beautiful and the craftwork can be formidable but it has nothing to do with the spiritual. Please I don’t criticize but what they do is, they connect the art with religion but the art in itself can be formidable. And of course for them this is a source of income. All these statues are beautiful for the artists and the public but it is against the strength of the message of Yeshua because he brought the covenant in spirit. In a way you can say a good artist brings the divine here on earth, an artist always has another idea of reality and he shows this in his pieces…. For instance a painter is someone who doesn’t want or can’t see reality and instead he makes a system of his perception by way of colour or whatever but not the true reality. In a way he develops his own way of seeing, a disorder of his un-corrected wishes. And this is good because this comes from above too. That an artist wants to connect his art with religion of the spiritual is great but keep in mind it stays a piece of wood or a piece of cloth with some painting on it, it’s done by the hands of somebody and there is nothing 61 divine in it. Of course you may admire his artistic quality but not more because that is wrong. I for instance love music and art, I can appreciate it enormously and I only say this to warn you. You can use it for beauty but be alert and stay awake so you won’t use your imagination and get lost in the drama etc because then there is the danger of idolization and that is so dangerous for your inner. What is happening within you? You place an object between you and the redemption. Between you and Yeshua or the kli keter, you place something between and this can have as a consequence spiritual suicide. May be you can explain in beautiful words how wonderful the art in the Vatican is, that it is divine and the museum is divine, that it is all for the glory of G’d. This is no critic because in Christianity they are allowed to do it this way. But you have to know it was and it will never be the intention of Yeshua. Yeshua brought to us the covenant of the spirit and not the covenant of the flesh. The book Zohar is a huge books it has many chapters but only in one place, and even then you have to read carefully you can see something of the chochmah hasichlut – the teaching of foolishness. It was the divine Rav haMenuna Saba who taught many devoted kabbalists – authors of the Zohar. The root of the soul of Rav haMenuna Saba comes from the seven lower sfirot of the keter of the Atik of the world Atzilut. He was the greatest ever. The Zohar is telling us only when one has come through all the wisdom than he is ready for this secret teaching of chochmah hasichlut – the teaching of foolishness. Rav haMenuna Saba was the only one who could teach this. It is far beyond all the possible knowledge concerning the spiritual. What or how is this teaching? It is the teaching of lemalah mihadaat – to go beyond all understanding. Why is this named the teaching of foolishness? Of course for them who are living here in this material world they see this as foolishness. For them the knowing is more profitable and gives them more fun. But the teaching of how to give in truth – the teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven, that is the teaching of foolishness. Therefore become a fool for Yeshua, become a fool for your redemption. 62 The High Keter or Etz Chaim about Yeshua From the lessons on Etz Chayim ("Tree of Life"). The link to the original book in Hebrew with numbered pages: http://www.kabbalah-arizal.nl/pdf/ets.pdf/ I understand that many people, especially Jews, are interested to know Yeshua's connection to the teaching of my great teacher Ari. Here, the Ari draws for us a clear picture of this wonderful interrelation, a parallel, a unification between the Zeir Anpin of the world of Atsilut on the Tree of Life of the worlds and with the soul of Yeshua, HaMashiach, on the Tree of the Souls of all of Mankind. Enjoy this recovery, my friend! Indeed HaShem, the Doctor of all doctors, will bring to you healing from your sickness, besides others, through the incomparable comprehension of the spiritual from the book Etz Chayim - Tree of LIFE - contained herein! Etz Chayim, page 237, line 25: Here he reveals to us something wonderful. Pay close attention, because here he is telling us the most important aspect we must comprehend, for he speaks about the essence of the Keter of Z''A. Step by step you will come to understand where and how "I concluded" that Yeshua is The High Keter. He devotes this entire chapter to the Kether of Zeir Anpin, and we already know from «The Teaching of Foolishness»I, that on the level of the souls, Yeshua HaMashiach is the Keter of Zeir Anpin of the world of Atsilut. Now we will be able to see for certain, that he (Ari) is matter-of-factly showing us that this-Keter of Z''A deAtsilut - this is the force/strength/power of Yeshua. הבחינה הב' הוא הכתר של ז"א אשר הוא נעשה מן החצי התחתון של ת"ת ונה"י החדשים של תבונה והנה בחינת הכתר דז"א צריך שתחילה נבאר מה ענינו אם הוא מכלל מוחין דז"א או לאו אם מכלל הי"ס דז"א או לאו כי בדבר זה יש מחלוקת גדולה בין המקובלים ובספר יצירה נתבאר שהחשבון י"ס מתחיל מן החכמה כמו שכתב אחת היא רוח אלהים חיים כו' וכן אמרו אין ראשית אלא חכמה וראיות הרבה לסברא זו גם מה ענין הבנת לשון כתר ולמה נק' כך The second aspect is the Kether of the Z”A that is made of the lower part of the tiferet and the new NeH»Y of tvuna (Bina). And upon a careful examination we see here the aspect called Keter of Z''A and it is necessary to once again ask ourselves what is its' essence? Is he (Keter of Z''A) related to the mochin of Z''A or not? Is Ketter of Z''A a part/component of the 10 sfirot of Z''A or not? For it is known that there are big disagreements and contradicting opinions between Kabbalists regarding this matter. In the book Sefer Yetzirah - The Book of Creation - it is explained that the number of the ten sfirot begins with the Chochmah, as it is written there that "She is The Ruach of the living Elokim" etc. It is furthermore written that "There is no preceding beginning before Chochma" and there are numerous confirmations regarding this sfira. It is also necessary to understand the title k-e-t-e-r and why it is called this way. Amazing! We will b’ezrat Hasjem (with HaShem's help) continue next time to look at 63 this aspect of utmost importance, which will shine to us light regarding both the origin/nature and the force of Yeshua, Meshicheinu. Here he is writing something...how do I put this? Essence of all essences amongst all of what I have ever studied. Pay very careful attention! As a matter of fact, here is pointed out to us the qualitative relationship between Yeshua and the nation of Israel. Do you still remember? In the "Teaching of Foolishness" we have studied the 10 sfirot of the general/common partsuf of all of humanity, the whole of mankind. We saw that Yeshua is the keter, crown of this partsuf. The nation of Israel is the head and is the three upper sfirot of this partsuf, CHaBaD. And under it are located the 7 lower sfirot that has 10 private sfirot each, which is the 70(7x10) nations of the world. This is all speaking of the general aspect of creation. And so, here illustrates for us here in this allocation the relationship between keter and CHaBaD... I cannot even find the words to be able to adequately express what he is talking about here. Anyone who hears, will hear in this place one of the most important confirmations and proofs of the fact that I «did not get this from my own head» the concept of Yeshua as the High Keter of all of mankind. And that I «took and take» I get directly through the book «Etz Chayim» which is the book of books of my great, divine teacher Ari and Ari himself got everything for the Zohar, etc. והנה כפי הנראה מפשטות לשון התקונים וספר הזוהר נראה כי הכתר הוא גולגלתא וחב"ד הם המוחין שבתוך הגולגלתא ואם כן הוא נמצא שהכתר הוא גרוע בתכלית הגרעון כי הוא נעשה חיצונית ולבוש אל המוחין כדרך הגולגלתא המקיף ומלביש את המוחין ואין ספק שתכלית ועיקר הם המוחין כי הגלגלת הוא כלי ומלבוש טפל אליה ודבר זה לא יעלה על דעת תינוק בן יומו כי הרי כתר גדול לאין קץ על החכמה ותבונה ודעת ונחשבו אצלו כלא היו אבל הענין הוא כי הנה המוחין הם חב"ד אבל שרשם של הג' מוחין נשאר למעלה הרושם שלהם ומציאותן בכתר ואותן המוחין שבכתר הם גדולים ומעולים לאין קץ על המוחין הנקרא חב"ד And here, according to the simple understanding of the statement of Tikkunim (here he is talking about the book Tikkunei Zohar from Zohar) it appears that keter is golgalta, skull (of a partsuf). We have a head: its' exterior is the skull/golgalta, and inside of the skull is located the brains/mochin. CHaBaD is the mochin that is inside of golgalta. And if this is so, then it turns out that keter is incomparably coarser, qualitatively lower,«worse», than CHaBaD. And this is so because golgalta,skull, became the external part, the encasement for CHaBaD, which is analogous to the way a skull (of a person) surrounds and protectively covers the brains. And there is no doubt that the purpose and the essence is the brains while the skull is the kli, vessel, and covering that serves as the (brains') helper. And this will not even enter into a one-day-old child's head, for indeed keter is eternally (incomparably) greater than chochma, tvuna (bina) and daat and in relation to keter their presence isn't even considered as being IN existence (implying to us the degree of CHaBaD's insignificance and worthlessness in comparison to keter!). However, the fact is that (even though) mochin is CHaBaD, the roots of the 3 mochin left above, in keter, traces/imprints within which is still present their existence. And these mochin, that are still present (due to the imprints of the roots) in the keter, are incomparably and eternally greater and higher than the mochin that is called CHaBaD. 64 Look at what he's teaching us here! As we already know, all that exists consists of 10 sfirot. Just as - according to laws that apply to any given partsuf - the highest sfirah keter is immeasurably higher and greater than the following sfirah chochma that is bellow it (even though chochma together with bina and daat are located in the head - inside of keter, the skull), so in the same way is Yeshua always was and forever remains immeasurably (or as he says INFINITELY), higher and greater than anyone belonging to the nation of Israel! But...namely for the very reason that CHaBaD is the mochin that is located inside of the golgalta, then it turns out that keter is incomparably coarser, qualitatively lower, «worse», than CHaBaD! And this is exactly what has become the stumbling stone for the nation of Israel, for indeed this is why they mistakenly believe that they, being "the interior part of the skull", are incomparably more important, higher than «drop-out kabbalist» Yeshua, «surrounding them from outside»! And for this reason, Ari is explaining to us (and the whole nation of Israel) once and for all, that the fact is that mochin is CHaBaD, but the roots of the 3 mochin left within keter their traces and their existence...and these mochin that are existing in keter are infinitely and incomparably greater and higher than the mochin that are called CHaBaD. And I simply do not have enough words...in fact I don't have ANY words that could express the awe, the admiration, sincere gratitude and the respect towards my great Teacher Ari for revealing to me this secret...from mouth to mouth...that I would ignite with ardent, inextinguishable love towards Yeshua, my One and only Liberator! This is the third lesson in the row that is talking about the 2-nd aspect of keter of zeir anpin and we are connecting this aspect with Yeshua. On the scale of the souls of all of humanity this is namely the strength of Yeshua. Pay close attention to what he is revealing to us. Everything that we learn in kabbalah, the purpose of all of our efforts in Kabbalah -- I repeat this again and again -- everything ONLY for the sake of receiving salvation for our souls. Nothing in this world can satisfy a soul: not animal pleasures, such as food, drink; sex, love and building up of a family and kids - all of the ladder all falls under the category of "family" and is no different to what birds do in the canals of Amsterdam, or on a tree in your neighborhood. There is no great romance, no beautiful fairly tale - no matter how wonderful the fantasy - that a human being in this world is able to imagine that can satisfy the soul...the person is left yearning for something greater, bigger, more intense pleasures...he is constantly left hungry for more, no matter what he gets here. The same applies in the relation to the higher level desires - human: power, riches, sociocultural and religious wisdom and so on -- and with this the soul will never be satisfied! She simply does not receive any satisfaction from any such endeavors. For the soul necessitates a "food" specifically designed for her -- and this is namely what we are learning: food for the soul! She comes from our spiritual mother and father, zeir anpin and nukva -- and this is namely what we are learning in all of the sections of The Wisdom of Kabbalah -- The Teaching of Salvation! ולכן תמצא באדרת נשא שכאשר מבאר סדרי ספירות הכוללות כל האצילות אשר הא"א נקרא כתר ואו"א חו"ב מזכיר שם בא"א בחינת גולגלתא ומוחא סתימאה דיליה And because of this you will find in Idra Nasso, (that explains the chapter of the Torah of the same name), that when it is explained in the general order of sfirot, A'A is called keter, (and Atik is separated, for Atik still submits to the laws of 1-st restriction. And 65 only from A'A, from Arik Anpin and down, the worlds Atzilut and BeY''A function according to the laws of the 2-nd Tzimtzum) and Av''I called chochma and bina , there he brings to memory in Arik the aspect of golgalta (skull) and his mocha stima (hidden chochma). אמנם חו"ב הם או"א שהם ענפים היוצאין ממ"ס דא"א הנקרא כתר וכן הוא הענין בי"ס הפרטות שבכל פרצוף וא"כ בודאי כי המוח הסתום שבכתר הוא גדול מאד מן חו"ב אשר בפרצוף ההוא כי הרי מן הכתר נאצלו הם ובהכרח הוא שבחינת ד' מוחין שהם חו"ב ודעת הכולל חו"ג שארבעתן יהיו נמצאים בכתר בודאי כמבואר אצלינו בברכת שים שלום של העמידה לכן הם ד' כריעות וד' זקיפות ע"ש However, Cha''B -- this is Av''I, they are branches which have come out of M''S (mocha stima) of Arik Anpin, that is called keter. And such is the workings of 10 particular sfirot of any partzuf (That is, this is fair concerning every one partzuf in the 10 sfirot: that, which we call keter -- this is actually private/particular Arik anpin, and chochma and bina -- this is Av''I, Abba ve-Ima.) And if this is so, then it is certain that the hidden moach, hidden chochma, that is in keter is much greater than Cha''B of any given partzuf, for they were emanated from keter. And it is certain, that the aspect of the 4 mochin, i.e. Cha"B and daat, consisting of chasadim and gvurot surely, that all 4 necessarily will exist in keter, as explained to us (in the explanatory order) in the prayer Amida birkat sim shalom: the blessing in the prayer called Amida beginning with words sim shalom). Therefore, there there are 4 times to bow down and 4 times to straighten. Read there. The matter is that in the Amida - a prayer said while standing with feet together -- it is necessary to bow 4 times. Bowing - these are states, when keter "bends" (you could also consider this descending) over chochma and bina and gives them mochin, light. And when chochma and rise to keter, it is required to straighten. I remind you that we are learning about Keter of Zeir Anpin. We learn here, approx. half a page of that which is not taught anywhere else. Nowhere in the whole world will you be able to learn this. Nowhere will you learn about the spiritual roots of Yeshua on the tree of life. The principle itself, the power of Yeshua. After all, we are not learning about the person of Yeshua himself, rather we are studying the structure of Keter of Zeir Anpin of the world Atzilut, but Yeshua was a force of this level. On the scale of souls he "clothed" in Keter of Zeir Anpin. And we know that whoever wears a level, understands/attains some particular stage, then that one is referred to by the name of this level. Look closely: in general, when we talk about Keter, then it ... When we talk about the nine Sefirot from Chochma to Malchut, it is much clearer, it is still possible to somehow understand. Both Chochma m Bina bring us to… in general the first three Sephiroth ... Strictly speaking, we learn in the Kabbalah in the general aspect, only the 7 lower Sefirot. All that we learn over 6000 years - it's only the seven lower sefirot of the universe - and when we say 'chochma and bina ", we mean a private chochma and bina of 10 Sefirot, the overall level of which remains, nevertheless, the level of a 7-lower sefirot. Take, for example, the world Atzilut. In the general aspect, as part of the 5 worlds of the universe, the world of Atzilut – the world of Zeir Anpin, because he is under the Tabur of A "K. In other words, everything that we learn about the world Atzilut, the world of correction - this is, in 66 general aspect, the seven lower sefirot. The true Ga 'R, the first three Sephiroth, are revealed only in Gmar Tikkun, the final correction of the world. And what we learn about Ga "R - this is, in essence, the private Ga 'R. In general aspect, we know nothing - we do not perceive anything of the true Ga 'R. Their perceptions will come to us only in GmarTikkun. Note that we are studying, in fact, only the seven lower sefirot even of the higher sefirot, which are Keter, Chochma and Bina. Therefore, when we learn something about Keter ... it is clear that we learn about him? All nine of the lower sefirot (from chochma to malchut) have aviut, the thickness of desire to receive or to opt out of receiving, because they all relate directly to the creature.We are part of creation; we, just as malchut, have 4 stages of aviut. Keter, however, has NO aviut! And so when we are learning about Keter, at that time we are learning, as it were, of a world that we absolutely do not know, do not perceive. After all, property Keter is the desire of giving/bestowal, and such a desire we absolutely do not have. I repeat many times, that such a desire to give/bestow, we simply do not have in our nature! Of course, when you look at any and all "saints" who ever walked or in our time are walking on the earth, with their charisma, and outward expression of diminution and the love of their neighbor, then, in ignorance, you may be believing that such a phenomenon "holiness" is possible. Remember firmly that all of us, humans – all are only a desire to receive for themselves! ... And only from Keter can we get a wonderful sense of the Divine ... Now, pay special attention: whenever you see and read the term "Keter", know that this is – the power, representative of HaShem, Godliness... נמצא כי המוחין הם למטה מבחי' הכתר ואינם בתוכו כי הכתר גבוה מאד מאד מהם והם למטה ממנו לגמרי אמנם בכתר יש בו בחי' פנימית שהם מוחין שבו בעצמו ממש ובחי' החיצוניות שהוא הגולגלתא אלא שחיצוני' שהוא הגולגלתא מתפשטת עד למטה ומלבשת גם את המוחין הנקרא חב"ד אבל עיקרית הכתר אינו אלא למעלה על אלו המוחין ... I have absolutely no words here! Here I would rather altogether not say anything, for no matter what I could say, I cannot adequately express what I feel. Strength, which I perceive here – is simply inhuman, and it completely overwhelms me, overpowering. I'll try to translate, but ... If this is not the main source of power of Yeshua, not the most crisp, clear place where Ari tells about the power of Yeshua, then I simply do not know where else it can be found! Of course, the entire Torah talks about the power of Yeshua – force that performed in full all the commandments of the Torah (as opposed to what they teach: Kosher - not kosher, pure - not clean, allowed – not allowed, etc. – all this they teach and taught ... until finally they will reach spiritual maturity, in order to enter into the perception of Atzilut, in order to feel the forces of Atzilut in an organic connection with the Supreme Kether, with the strength of Yeshua. Because otherwise this teaching is empty, i.e., does not bring salvation) And here is where Ari teaches us what Keter actually is! It turns out that mochin that is, ChaBaD is lower than the aspect of keter and – is not in it. Look closely: mochin - not in it! Got it? They say childishly: "We are in Jesus". And now look at what the truly great, divine Ari teaches us: mochin, ChaBa"D - not in Keter. In this is the quintessence of everything. The entrance into Gan Aiden, into Paradise - it is here in this passage, which is before us, which I now read here. Do you 67 hear what I'm saying? This is your already your work, whether you perceive or not. I openly declare that here is – the entrance into Paradise, Paradise itself, just as in the particular aspect, so also in general ... for keter is much much higher (superior) than they (mochin) and they are quite lower then it (keter). However, Keter has an internal aspect, and this is mochin that is actually within him. And the external aspect of it is golgalta the skull. But the external aspect, ie, golgalta extends down and clothes (covers) aslo the mochin, called ChaBa”D. But the essence of Keter is only ABOVE these mochin (above these ChaBa”D. See just what he tells us ... The same thing with the power of Yeshua. Yeshua himself does not clothe the person (is not in the person) as is naively assumed, but only his, Yeshua’s, outer part. We also learn this here, that golgalta, skull, extends down and makes a surrounding shell for ChaBa’’D in our head. This is the projection of Yeshua in us, but Yeshua is free of the person, ie is in no form any part of a person, not even at the level of the human soul. The fact that Yeshua came down to this world in human form that is understandable, but here we are learning the "nature", the essential point of the strength Yeshua. And of course, his essence – this is Keter of Zeir Anpin. ועיין בביאור אותו מאמר ג' רישין אתגלפין דא לגו מן דא הנזכר בתחלת אדר"ז דרפ"ח ומשם תבין ענין זה המוח שבכתר שהוא מלבד המוח עצמו מה ענינו And read in the explanation of this maamar teaching: three heads, which are engraved one within the other three heads A”A of world Atzilut, as we have learned, as mentioned in the beginning of the Idra Zutra Minor Idra of Zohar page 288 perfect number, which coincides with the number of sparks of holiness, which must be pulled out of klipot. From there you will understand this aspect of moach that is in keter, which in addition to the moach itself moach of Keter, ie CHaBa"D, which is in Kether, that are located along with the ChaBa”D, what is its meaning. We learn here about the essence of essences, about Keter deZeir Anpin deAtzilut, and we making a parallel connection to the soul, the essence, of Yeshua. Much of what we have learned, seems to be getting more complicated here. Simply listen to what he says, try to place it into what has already been taught, for here I will give very little explanation. מ"ב וזה סוד מנחל בדרך ישתה הנחל הוא יסוד דתבונה ובתוכו מלובש דעת דז"א שבו החסדי' הנקרא מים ואלו מים נמשכין מן הנחל ההוא ומתפשטין עד היסוד דז"א וחוזרין ועולין ומגדלין אותן כנודע ויסוד נק' דרך בסוד דרך גבר בעלמה נמצא כי היסוד דאמא הנקרא דרך נעשה נחל מים וממנו שותה 'הז"א מאותן החסדים ואז נגדל ומרים ראשו וסוד הרמת ראש הוא כי חג"ת שבו נגדלין ונעשין בחי ראש בסוד ג' מוחין שבו חב"ד ונמצא כי אין ראש זו מחודש רק שמה שהיתה בסוד חג"ת הורמו למעלה וגדלו ונעשה ראש בסוד חב"ד וזו בחי' ו' שבשם הוי"ה הכולל האצילות כי תחלה היה בז"א ו"ק לבד ו' זעירא שבתוך ה' דאמא עלאה ועתה יצאה ונעשה ו' עצמה שבשם הוי"ה ונעשה לו ראש שהוא צורת י' שיש בראש ו' כנודע כי ביניקה היתה ו' לאחר ה' ראשונה אלא שלא היה לה ראש כי 'היה ו"ק לבד ובגדלות נעשה לו ראש דהיינו י' על ו Place of explanations. And this is the essence of what is said in the Holy Scripture, "from the river on the way you will drink," What does this mean? He will now clarify to us this verse: the river – this is the yesod of tvuna and it is clothed by Daat deZeir 68 Anpin, we were studied that NeH "Y of tvuna transfer to a Z"A the mochin of CHaBaD. So: yesod de tvuna transfers moach Daat. That is, in the yesod de tvuna dresses/clothes moach Daat deZeir Anpin consisting of chasadim and gvurot whose chasadim are called water. And this water is drawn from this river and extends to yesod deZeir Anpin. And they come back and grow, as is known. And yesod is called path, as it says in another verse: "the way of a person in the world." It turns out, in such a way, that yesod de Ima of Bina, called path, became a river of waters and from there Z”A drinks chasadim. And then he grows up and raises his head. And the essence of raising the head – this is CHaGa"T, which grow and become the head like the three Mochin that is in it. In other words, CHaGa"T grow and become ChaBa”D. And so it turns out that this head is not something new, but that something that was ChaGa”T rose, increased and became ChaBa”D. And this is aspect "vav", that is in the general name HaVaY”A of Atzilut, for at first Z”A only had Va”K – small letter vav inside of the letter hay. And now she became the actual letter vav, in the name of HaVaY”A and obtains a head. And this is - the letter Yud, which is in the head of the letter vav. In the letter vav at the top you see a fat point - this is an indication of the head of Zeir Anpin, when he is fully developed and emerges out of Ima as known in the state of yenika in katnut, letter vav was behind the first letter hay, but she did not have a head That which he says “behind” means in the letter on the left, for in the holy tongue everything is written right to left. The left paw of the letter hay – only like a paw without a point, without yud on top: this is - vav without a head because he was only Va”K had only 6 edges, and in gadlut he obtains a head, that is letter yud above the letter vav. To be precise, it is remarkable what he tells us here... it is a repetition, but that too is of utmost importance in order to organize everything on the right shelves. See? Everything spiritual is expressed with letters. Through the forms of letters of the Creator’s language are expressed spiritual strengths and processes. Whether we're talking about the names of the Creator, or about Partzufim, or the Sefirot, the letters and their constituents - all of these are aspects considering from different sides the same spiritual elements of the universe. /Gate 23, par. 2. Place of additions/: Previous lesson was quite complex, but it will later become clear. Lessons from the Etz Chaim, which we have gone through in this thread so far, talk about Keter of Zeir Anpin deAtzilut. And on the scale of souls this corresponds to the soul of Yeshua. This is a parallel between the worlds and souls, because all of creation is created in the image/likeness: there is nothing in common, which is not in the private/particular and vice versa. See what we are studying? - The hidden phenomenon of Yeshua. We are studying how keter relates to ChaBa”D. Who are the ChaBa”D? They are – three levels of the nation of Israel. Each of you also has your own ChaBa”D, Israel, and 7 x 10 "nations of the world." So you see, everything lies within you. You see also the relation of keter, that “your keter” is the representative of the Higher, The Divine. He - the crown – is not part of man. Look closely. Keter – this is a sefira not owned by a person or Zeir 69 Anpin. It is the surrounding shell, a crown; from which is the Light’s shining is drawn from Yeshua to the lower creatures. I will not go into the details with my poor language, but it is something completely different than what they sayabout Yeshua that he is in a person's heart: "Jesus - in your heart." This affirmation is but a surge of emotion, story, etc. external description of a phenomenon that they do not know how to explain and how to handle it altogether. And therefore everything in religions is like in a fog…like on dope ... But the truth is that Yeshua remains OUTSIDE a human being. The Extention of golgalta, skull – this is what we are in our state able to perceive, when we that is, we are able to perceive when we elevate ourselves, ascending up to Yeshua. And now look carefully at what he further reveals to us. He says: Place of additions. He will doubtless add to us knowledge of keter. We have not “over-talked”, G-d forbid, of keter and Yeshua. We continue our spiritual adventure into eternity and perfection of The Creator and His creation. To be precise, this is the most critical place, the most critical evidence of Yeshua in the spiritual wellspring of Ari. Look at what he now reveals to us about the location whence came Yeshua. That which we are studying here is even now still an unaccomplished dream…i.e., about this could dream every Christian, including without exceptions the church fathers! For they would have desired with a great joy and hope, to know the essence of Yeshua! Not only in a childish way, naively speaking of an Immaculate conception… Maria, mother of Yeshua, that is in the heavens… etc. All of these are religious thoughts. That which they talk about is only the sense-felt image of the Creator’s forces...but without explanations, the revelations of Kabbalah – it is all children’s fairly tales and rhymes. For even in fairy tales “there is truth”…morals… and yet still fairy tales are far from objective reality. Everything that the church fathers dogmatically claim – absolutely non-provable, because it is not based on the true knowledge of the Creator’s Instruction. This is because the Creator gave it once and for all, but only to His chosen people, Israel. And so, Israel must keep themselves busy with His Instruction night and day ... day and night, never letting it out of their hands, passing down by a chain of all the knowledge, insight, spiritual evidence, etc., and to all the other peoples of the world in the general aspect. Please take into consideration that the true spiritual testimonies, evidence, simply cannot come from religion, science, etc. Why not? - Because the evidence can only come from the position of the middle line. That is, not just the dogmatic twaddle about "Mary in Heaven," "Jesus on the cross," etc. conclusions of their theologies and all sorts of other blah blah... Here we are given the essence of all essences. The Lords of the Vatican fantasized about knowing that which we are now learning, because they have no true knowledge. And I declare this not as a reproach, G-d forbid! They are stuck in dogmas, and therefore do not see the essence of whom they dogmatically placed at the head of their religion. They bow for whom they do not know, is this not strange? Nevertheless, I will explain to you why this is so. The fact is that they worship Jesus, but this is something other than Yeshua! That is why neither Christians nor Jews desire to know the truth about Yeshua of Lurianic Kabbalah. After all, Jesus for the Christian – this is someone who is on the cross, the one from the story, from faith below knowledge. Here you need only believe in him, and right away all your sins are forgiven...without individual spiritual work on yourself! How simple is all this, just like "in a wave of the wand, as I desire." Therefore the crowd loves and listens to all this, their mouths open... Just as much as they like fairy tales, epics and folklore. And the Jews right away see in Yeshua “Jesus” – traitor of the people of Israel, geek, mamzer – illegitimate 70 child. (After all, they reason thus: "If Miriam conceived Yeshua not by her husband, a Jew, but from the Ruach haKodesh, the Holy Spirit, then of course, his birth is not lawful") - not by lawful according to 'the covenant of flesh'! Therefore, he, Yeshua is to them - a stranger, and is absolutely not necessary to them. ... Therefore both groups are in the spiritual sense – ignoramuses, cannot know the truth about Yeshua. Clear? Yeshua had nothing in the material. He said: "Foxes have holes, where they establish their homes, while the Son of Man has no place to rest head." Place – this is the 4th stage of creation, and the soul of Yeshua did not belong to them of this stage, was higher, for it was of the divine level of keter. Therefore, he was an example of complete poverty and could not, by his very nature, engage in material acquisitions. He teaches us about the concept of "rich": the rich – this is someone who has more than one shirt, than one pair of flip-flops, etc. What he told his sent ones? – Do not take on the road with you two shirts...trust in the Creator. And now take a look at their churches – the fact is that their wealth constitutes a gigantic empire, comparable, perhaps, with the inexhaustible worldy riches of the organized crime world. Their cardinals live in live in the indescribable luxury of kings. The same goes for the so-called "success-Kabbalists" and "Kabbalah scholars," the leaders of the modern "Kabbalistic" currents. Their earthly riches are innumerable, they are drowning in luxury! That is, literally, "drowning"! And what can teach their followers? As if this is comparable to the spirit of the teachings of Yeshua, our universal Liberator? As though it is possible, even theoretically, to attain liberation from the power of klipot, impure forces, without Yeshua? And therefore, namely due to this, he, Yesua, to this day is not revealed to the apologetics religions and this false “kabbalah”. It is clear, for there is no conformity of properties. ועתה נבאר מהיכן נעשה בחי' הכתר הזה והנה הוא נעשה מבחי' חצי התחתון של הת"ת דאמא הנקרא תבונה וזהו ענינו Page 319, line 24: And now we will explain, from what was made the aspect of this keter. And so, he is made of the bottom half of Ima’s tiferet that is called tvuna. And the meaning of this is in the following: I am simply amazed by what I hear. We have just read one sentence, and oh my all that is enclosed within it! I have no words to express…Be-ezrat HaShem I will attempt to convey word for word the great meaning of what was said. Listen carefully...He reveals to us the source of Keter de’Zeir Anpin, or the very same that is on the Tree of souls – the roots of Yeshua’s soul – wherefrom came Yeshua. Of course, my friend, all know, teach with the sensory, human intellect and emotions, that he was birthed by the woman named Mirian etc,. Focus all of your attention - this is one of the clearest places in Etz Chayim, where he gives to us the roots, essence of Yeshua’s soul…Ari speaks of the High Keter. You will see here, that all of my knowledge about Yeshua I received not from the New Testament, but only FROM KABBALAH. To me this revelation was given, I would say, in a “strange” way. HaShem knows what kind of logic to use on this or that individual. At first I searched for Yeshua spontaneously and just as spontaneously found him. “Spontaniously?” – everything comes from above, including any form of spontaneity… And then he, Yeshua, sent me to learn Torah, Talmud and all the aspects of the traditional teaching. At a certain point in my studies, I was commanded to cease once and for all the 71 traditional learning and suddenly, from above I was pointed “with a finger” towards Kabbalah. And then I gradually began to delve into the deepest sources of Kabbalah: The Zohar, Etz Chaim in the original (along with TES, the study which for me was no longer sufficient). So I entered, finally, in ...PaRDeS, "The Garden of Truth", where no foot of man could step (without it "getting stuck!"), Except for Rabbi Akiva, Ari and Yehuda Ashlag. This is – a terrifying and fascinating place of his great force of truth… "Terrifying" - because it is possible not to find your way our of his mazes. And I, like my great predecessors (and thanks to them!), went in, walked through, enveloped in flames and the light of truth ... and safely came out... (You may ask: why were only four able to safely enter and exit the PaRDeS? - In all of creation there are only 4 stages, is that not so? Same here: the four stages of a successful entry and exit from the Garden of Truth, each of which reveals the next step. And you can also ask: and what about Yeshua himself, Moshe, and Shimon bar Yochai? – This highest "three" levels, respective of Keter, Tiferet, and Daat – above the chaze: there shines directly the Light of the Creator, and therefore they do not need to "enter" in PaRDeS and to "exit" from it. For PaRDeS represent the universal 4 lower sefirot of truth, that is under the chase. Malchut of Tzimtzum Beth, as you know, serves ateret yesod. Thus, the "entrance" into PaRDeS begins with ateret yesod, and the "exit" – at the top third of Tiferet that is above the haze). And there I found anew Yeshua, but now in all his glory, in the power of the Mashiach, Deliverer of my soul, but not in the strength of his first visit to the world, from which all draw only hope of salvation ... the cross, suffering, and so on. -They do not know the glory of Yeshua, for the simple reason that they is not able to in their state to penetrate the secrets of the Lurianic Kabbalah in secret language of the Creator! כי הנה כתבנו לעיל כי לסבת הכנסת נה"י דאמא הראשונים תוך ז"א בבחי' המוחין הוצרכה להתגדל ולעשות לה נה"י חדשים אחרים ושם בארנו איך היה הענין ואמרנו כי האורות של נה"י דאמא עלו בחצי ת"ת התחתון של תבונה לדחות את הולד שיולד ויצא לחוץ ואז אותן האורות הוציאו שם נה"י אחרים חדשים For we are in fact mentioned above that due to the introduction of the first NeH "Y de Ima into Zeir Anpin in the quality of Mochin/as Mochin, it was necessary to build up and make for herself new NeH"Y Do you still remember? At the birth of Zeir Anpin she gave to him, together with Mochin also her kelim NeH”Y – these were her first NeH”Y. And now she has to grow new NeH"Y, so that she can be in the state to have Zivugim with Aba. (For she, as it is known, by her nature, must be in a constant Zivug with him: In Zivug non-pasik, never-ending, which supports the existence of worlds to the Zivug). (Note: her I’m not sure if I translated 2 words’ connection correctly). In this case he says Aba, but this is Israel Saba, the masculine component of tvuna. And there we have explained how it happened that the lights NeH"Y ascended into the bottom half of tiferet de tvuna, to be able to push out the fetus, so he would be born and come outside. And then, these lights derived from there other new NeH"Y. Understood? There, in tiferet, occurred an accumulation of lights of great strength/power, sufficient for the excretion of new NeH”Y for Ima. כי בעלות האורות הנ"להאירו ונתנו כח לכלי ההוא של מחצית הת"ת התחתון והגדילו ממנו ג"כ נה"י חדשים ואז האורות הראשונים שנסתלקו נתלבשו תוך אלו הנה"י החדשים כי הנה"י הראשונים הוצרכו 72 להתרוקן לכמה סבות הנ"ל אם לצורך לידת המוחין דז"א ואם להעשות לבושין למוחין דז"א עצמו כנ"ל אבל אלו שהם תשלום י"ס של תבונה עצמה חזרו האורות להתלבש בהם והנה מזה המחצית התחתון של הת"ת ומן הנה"י בבחינת כלים ובחינת אורות ג"כ שלהם עצמן הם הנעשין כתר של ז"א והרי זה הוא שינוי א' שיש בין הכתר אל המוחין כי המוחין הכלי שלהם הם של התבונה והאורות הם של ז"א אבל הכתר הכלי והאור שלו הכל הוא של תבונה For at the raising of lights, as it is said above, they began to shine and gave strength to the kli of the bottom half of tiferet. And grew out of him as well new NeH”Y. And then new lights, that came out and were clothed in these new NeH”Y – in fact the first NeH”Y had to empty, for several reasons, as stated above. Just as in order to produce mochin of zeir anpin, so also in order to make clothes for the mochin for zeir anpin. But these new NeH”Y, that complement the 10 sefirot of tvuna, lights again dressed in them. And so, from the bottom half of tiferet and from NeH”Y – just as the aspect of kelim, so also the aspect of lights that are in the kelim - was made keter of zeir anpin. And this – the first distinction that exists between keter and mochin of ChaBa”D that is in mochin: their kli – from tvuna, and lights – from zeir anpin. And keter: both his kli and his lights – both are from tvuna. Look at what we are being taught! Yeshua, as The High/Supreme keter – this is a human and at the same time, not having the aspect/image of a human. After all, both his kelim and his lights – both are from tvuna, where as only the kelim of the greatest saints were from tvuna, however, their lights – from zeir anpin. The same thing the sages say about Moshe: “above the waist above the chaze he was Elohim, that is the strength of tvuna, and below the waist below the chaze – this I express very briefly, for here is not the place to go into the details-he, Mosh, was ish, man, carrier of Zeir Anpin’s strength. Here is one more confirmation for you, that Yeshua is infinitely higher than Moshe! There never was, is not and will not be here on earth a person - no matter of how great a spiritual caliber - that can be compared to Yeshua. For only in Yeshua both kli and lights are from tvuna... Page 238, line 38: We are learning here about the Supreme keter, keter de zeir anpin, and on the scale of souls – this is the soul of Yeshua. ובזה תבין טעם למה אין הכתר במספר י"ס כנ"ל אמנם מתחילין מן החכמה שהוא נקרא ראשית And from this you will understand why Keter is not among the 10 Sefirot, as mentioned above. Keter does not refer to the 10 Sefirot. They say simply that Keter is the highest Sefira, but he is not of the same essence/nature as the lower Sefirot. Note: however, their counting starts from chochma, which is called Reishit, the first beginning. This is a great secret, which is written about also in Sefer Yetzirah "Book of Creation" of the forefather Abraham. It is remarkable what he reveals to us. From this we will understand also why Yeshua, as the Keter of Zeir Anpin, was (and remains), to be precise, foreign and alien to the people of Israel. This is so, because, after all, both his Kelim and his lights are from tvuna. But 73 Israel – they are ChaBa"D of all of humanity. They have their own 10 Sefirot, whose Keter is the luminescence of Yeshua’s keter, but not Yeshua himself in his rightful place! Therefore, ChaBa”D is of an entirely different quality and level, because the kelim of “the nation of Israel” are from tvuna, while their lights are from zeir anpin. Turn your attention to this again: when I say “the nation/people of Israel” or ChaBa”D, that is in the private aspect – this is Israel in every human being, regardless of their nationality or religious affiliation. I cannot emphasize this enough, repeating it over and over again; endlessly repeat it over and over again. But in general aspect - it is the actual nation of Israel (Jews), being the carriers, the entire nation of Torah, of this force “Am Israel” – the people/nation of Israel, as opposed to the rest of the nations of the world. And so they have not recognized him… he, Yeshua, was (and remains) alien to them. Is it clear why? Because despite the fact that Yeshua, just like them, belonged to the nation of Israel – for the vessels of Yeshua, just like theirs – are from tvuna, but their lights – from zeir anpin, the lower world, and Yeshua’s lights – from tvuna, the upper world. Our world is made of Zo”N – the sevel lower sefirot of bina and is then mixed with malchut, the 4th stage. Thefore, in this world there is a significant difference between the souls of Israel (and what can we say about the souls of the world) and the soul of Yeshua. For only Yeshua, of all of the souls of all of Creation, was of both aspects: both kelim and lights are from tvuna, the property of giving/bestowal of bina! This is, in fact, indicated also by the message of the New Testament, that when Yeshua was crucified, one of the guards pierced his side…and from there came out water to everyone’s amazement…”water” – this is the property/quality of bestowal of Bina. והענין כי הנה המוחין דז"א שהם חב"ד שלו האורות הם של ז"א עצמו ואע"פ שהכלים והלבושים הם נה"י הראשונים של התבונה כנ"ל עכ"ז הם טפלים ונגררים אחר הרוחניות והאורות שבתוכו אשר הם מז"א עצמו ולכן משם הם מתחילין מספר הי"ס שהם חב"ד חג"ת נהי"ם שבו The deal is that in the mochin of zeir anpin, that is his ChaBa”D: his lights are actually from zeir anpin. And regardless of the fact that kelim and clothings – these are first NeH”Y of tvuna, as noted above, nevertheless, they befit the spiritual and the lights that are in them, that are actually from Zeir Anpin and not from tvuna. Therefore, there begins the count of the 10 sefirot, that are – his zeir anpin’s ChaBa”D ChaGa”T NeHY”M. In three lines: chochma-bina-daat, chesed-gevurahtiferet, netzach-hod-yesod and malcut – all in all 10 sefirot of zeir anpin. I remind you, that beginning with partzufim of Tzimtzum Bet, ateret yesod acts as malchut. We now call him “malchut”. /Page 238, last line/: We learned about zeir anpin. Ari revealed to us, that keter does not belong to the 10 sefirot of zeir anpin. Ten sefirot de zeir anpin – these are ChaBa”D ChaGa”T NeHY”M without keter. Jumping ahead I will only mention that in zeir anpin sefira daat serves as keter. Daat, of course, is not the true keter, but only serves in zeir anpin as keter, for the place of daat is in the middle line between chochma and bina, with this resembling the place of keter, which is above it. Listen very carefully that which I am now trying to transmit to you. This is precicely what happened with the people of Israel: Moshe was for 74 them “the crown” – “like” keter. Moshe was the leader of the nation and as the leader he remains even now, but he, is essence, is only daat. And that is why he brought with himself daat Torah, the knowledge of the Torah. And of course Moshe knew that he himself is not keter, but only daat, executing, for the time being, the responsibilities of keter. Due to this he warned his people, saying: “After me will come a prophet: listen to him!” He meant Yeshua – the true Supreme keter, clothed in the keter of zeir anpin of the world Atzilut. Everything that I am telling you right now, by the way, as it were – this is absolutely unknown in all of the world. I mean who else is trying to engage in Kabbalah lishma? There are different types who call themselves “kabbalists”, but are they… You will not hear this from anyone, to have someone disclose to the world the secret that we are now studying. In fact, how many times have others read and re-read this very same fragment of Etz Chaim? But still they did not see, for it was not revealed to them from above… There is no other way to call this…and if you say, that someone saw, but did not announce, for whatever reason…is such a thing possible? Yeshua teaches us: “That which I whisper to you at night, in the dark, reveal it in the light of the day, shout it from the rooftops” - but never play hide and seek with it. And now look: Nowhere on the whole earth sphere will you find a revelation of the secret that is being entrusted to us here and now! Remember this firmly: this secret will not spread by itself until gmar tikun. THERE IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE ANOTHER DISCLOSURE! Of course, more and more will come to understand what we are now attracting into our world about Yeshua, the Supreme Keter. For once it has descended into this world, this revelation will become easier understood by others that will engage in this. And what I am here drawing down, is given, in the first place, for the Jews, for Israel. The fact that they do not hear, nor desire to hear, this means nothing in light of this fact. For the light is stronger than the kli. The light that is attracted through us, through the revelation from above: that Yeshua – the true keter, the five stages of Mashiach and so on…this will begin to work and capture the minds and hearts here, in this world…And it is impossible for it not to do its’ job – directly or indirectly – even on the nation of Israel…whether they like it or not. Against the will of their earthly kelim, against their conservatism, against their spiritual blindness…the light comes and handles their stubborn kelim, builds in them similarity of form with the higher. And how, do tell me, will they be able to resist him? For the light breaks ANY KIND of resistance, ANY protest! And then, they will certainly accept Yeshua, and through him the Creator’s fatherly love. ובפרט במ"ש לעיל כי הכלים של נה"י הראשונים דתבונה נעשו בשר מבשרו וגופו ממש דת"ת דז"א 'אמנם הכתר שלו אין לו שייכות עמו לא באורות ולא בכלים כי כולם הם בחי' התבונה לבד ואין בו בחי דז"א כלל זולתי שהוא מתחבר עמו ושורה עליו כעין כתר כמ"ש ולכן אינו נחשב במספר י"ס דז"א וזכור כלל זה And in particular, as is written above, that the kelim of the first NeH”Y of tvuna actually became his zeir anpin’s “flesh of flesh” and body – tiferet of zeir anpin. So Adam said of Chava (Eve) when HaShem brough her to him. However, his keter is not related to him to zeir anpin not by the lights or by the kelim. For they are all only aspects of tvuna and he keter does not have absolutely anything of the aspect of zeir anpin…accept that he connects to him to zeir anpin and rests above him, like a crown. Because of this Yeshua is called the eternal king of the nation of Israel and before his 75 crucification a “crown” was made for him and put on his head. Therefore, he keter does not belong to the number of the 10 sfirot of zeir anpin. And remember this supreme principle this law. This is remarkable! Even just this one segment is enough for me…it gives me enough heavenly manna to squash all attacks of the klipot today, to push them away completely and to build myself up accordingly. And tomorrow, be-ezrat HaShem, I will have even more strength than today – I know this with complete certainty – because nothing disappears in the spiritual…and I will be able to work on even deeper and more powerful layers of the sitra achra, inevitably defeating them and so on – until total gmar tikun. And for now, in essence, I will already live in the NOW, like the winner. Do you see now? We are studying about Yeshua through Ari. Ari helps me to understand the strength of Yeshua, draws me towards him. How else could I study, to know about Yeshua, about my Redeemer, other than through his Etz Chaim – Tree of Life... /Page 239, line 4/: We are in the middle of a remarkable fragment, very special paragraph about the keter of zeir anpin – the prototype of the strength of Yeshua. And how stunningly clearly does he reveal this to us! I am receiving everything into my mouth with such astounding fluidity, without “stuttering” of any king – and this is the special feeling that I always trust. Impossible for me to describe with words…it is simply an inner sensation and it is always to the very point, always brings me to the truth. וגם בזה תבין למה נקרא כתר כי הוא לשון כותרת וסובבת כמו העטרה המקפת ומסבבת ומלבשת ראש האדם והוא דבר זולתו כנראה בחוש הראות שהעטרה דבר הנבדל מן גוף האדם גם מזה תבין הפרש ויתרון מעלת הכתר על המוחין כי המוחין היו האורות בחי' ז"א עצמו ובחי' הכלים שלהם בלבד היו מן התבונה אבל הכתר שלו כולו כלי ואור הוא מן התבונה לבדה ופשוט הוא היתרון והמעלה שיש בין תבונה לז"א שאין קץ וקצבה אליו And in the same way you will understand why he is called keter, for keter implies koteret, “crowns” and surrounds, like a crown, fitting over, surrounding and clothing the head of a person. And this crown is a separate thing of the actual person, as it seen by the eye that crown is a thing separated from the person’s body. From this you will understand the separation and the superiority of keter over mochin. For in mochin – their lights were aspects of zeir anpin, and only their, mochin’s aspect of kelim are from tvuna Do you still remember? The NeH”Y of tvuna that transport mochin into zeir anpin’s head that is in these kelim of tvuna are found to be mochin for zeir anpin. And at the birth of zeir anpin, the lights of tvuna herself ascended up to her tiferet, freeing these first kelim NeH”Y for zeir anpin’s needs. And so these first NeH”Y of tvuna now became zeir anpin’s kelim and received together mochin together with them. Therefore his kelim are from tvuna. But his whole keter: both his kli and light – they are only from tvuna. And it is quite clear that there is no end and limit to tvuna’s advantage and superiority of over zeir anpin. Both aspects of zeir anpin’s keter are from tvuna. Yeshua is immeasurably higher than the people of Israel, and that is why he, Yeshua, is placed over them, like a crown, as the eternal king…Pharisees and Sadducees asked him: “And who appointed 76 you to this?” Now we know who gave to Yeshua these supernal qualities. As both his kelim and his lights are from tvuna, from Ima, mother. And Aba –father, to whom Yeshua is always referring - is located in Ima. “I do not do anything apart of my Father in heaven…” Father – this is Aba – masculine part of Aba-ve-Ima. And He, Father, Aba – “in heaven”, that, as we know, means zeir anpin, called shamaim – heaven(s). That is, Father, Aba dresses in zeir anpin’s keter. This is what he is now teaching us. A great secret is given to us from above to “try”. Namely…only to “try”, as is given to try to taste the special, rare, exquisite dish…for there is no end to the disclosure of the Creator’s powers. ומה גם כי אפילו בחינת הכלים יש יתרון לכלי הכתר מכלים של מוחין לב' סיבות א' כי הכלים של מוחין הם כלים של נה"י ראשונים לבד אבל כלי הכתר הם מהנה"י החדשים וגם מחצי ת"ת התחתון ונודע כי חצי ת"ת גדול מכל הנה"י כולה כמבואר אצלינו בהקדמה הידועה And furthermore, kli keter also has an advantage in the aspect of kelim over kelim mochin for two reasons. Because kelim mochin – this is kelim of only the first NeH”Y, but kli keter are from new new NeH”Y and from the bottom half of tiferet. And it is known, that the bottom half of tiferet is bigger than all NeH”Y, as is explained in our known introduction. I take this as the meeting with Yeshua. Here we continue to study the roots of the Supreme keter, and this is Yeshua. This is my meeting with Yeshua face to face. This I deepens my connection to Yeshua. There is no other salvation, other through this thin thread, which connects me to Yeshua. And in such a way also you will build your individual connection to Yeshua inside of your own kelim, and not through a story. Also with knowledge…of course, we go above the intellect, for we study the force of Yeshua, and not his image. Not the way he is represented…bearded and with a bowed head as it is so beautifully portrayed of him by artists, of course, each one in their own way. I very much love to enjoy fine arts…but, I ask of you, do not make an image of Yeshua, do not imagine him within yourself as a person of flesh and blood! What business do you have with the mantle, which he wore, with the material of the crown that was laid on his head? All that is spoken of is purely internal, spiritual! For Yeshua is the internal force of liberation! The most important thing for us is that, thanks to this inner power, the spiritual strength of Yeshua, each one of us receives “a body” – a spiritual partsuf of Yeshua. Because only then you can perceive here on earth the eternal life. Not in the past, not in the afterlife, not in the future! Not only to think of Yeshua in the head or in some naïve emotions, as is taught by religion! – Yeshua’s body can be and must be felt only “here and now”! Through the Teaching of Liberation, given to humanity through Lurianic Kabbalah you can be awarded the organic connection with Yeshua and by deepening it you allow yourself to be transformed and reorganized so that your body begins to live in the eternity of the now. You thus receive eternal existence, and death simply leaves you. For both holiness and impurity cannot “live under the one roof”. If you study Kabbalah lishma – for the sake of the Creator – then there certainly will come a day, when suddenly exclaim aloud: “I am not afraid of death!” This does not mean that from that very moment it will leave you and let you rest. Because death day comes every day as product of sin, inside and outside of you… Its’ daily appearance is necessary…But by then you 77 already firmly know that the following day and whenever this happens, starting from that day, you will overcome it…above reason! As Moshe went together with HaShem, with the four-letter name of The Creator to pharaoh and defeated him, so it also happen with you… For Moshe was firmly connected to Yeshua, is that not so? …Remember his meeting with the burning bush… “and so, the bush burns and is not consumed by the fire”! And only after this was revealed to him The Creator…yes, through “the incombustible bush”, through the vision of the force of Yeshua! And this is the whole purpose of our studies, so that one (indeed!) wonderful day, with complete inner certainty could say (just as I said): “I am no longer afraid of death!” It, like an old lady, will come, when it comes, but this must not interest you. Death is a product of sin that is committed until now. Not only by you, but the whole sin that took even before your appearance in this world… that you, we could say, “inherited” together with your soul, with your being. And you are obliged to internally defeat it! And then you will be able to say (as I said): “I sought and found!” – Sought the source of eternal life and found him! And the daily appearance of all possible temptations is going to continue in your perception of reality, but now you are already going to know within yourself the Creator’s strength, that together with Him and His Mashiach you will surly defeat your pharaoh: your desire to only receive – the sole instigator of death! ונודע כי חצי ת"ת גדול מכל הנה"י כולה כמבואר אצלינו בהקדמה הידועה And it is known that the bottom half of tiferet is greater than all NeH”Y, as is explained in our famous introduction. Remarkable! Look at how deeply Ari knew about Mashiach, how he got imbued with this and revealed to us Yeshua! Without Ari we would still not know any of this, I would not be able to perceive Yeshua… I would have accepted him only spontaneously, only instinctually, as it happened to me 15 years ago, when I read through the testament of the submersion in water as it was in its’ time, in the waters of the Jordan with Yeshua. But this was a connection with Yeshua without knowledge about him! The time came and now it is with knowledge, with learning from the very depths of my being. In building the Tree of Life in myself, I learn about Yeshua deeper and deeper still. Thanks to this, my vital forces with each day gain strength in such a way that I feel within myself eternal life for constantly lengthening periods of time. This beneficially affects my body. Look carefully. Ari gives to us a principle here, why the bottom half of tiferet is greater than all NeH”Y… Of course, she is greater than all sefirot that are under her. כי הבחינה הקטנה שבכל ספירה העליונה היא גדולה מכל מה שלמטה ממנה והרי ראית כמה יתרון יש אל הכתר על המוחין ופשוט הוא כי הכתר גדול מכל הט"ס כולם של הז"א לגמרי ואמנם עכ"ז נקרא כתר של ז"א עם היות שאין לו שייכות עמו Because the lowest aspect in each higher sefira is greater than everything that is below it; And so, you saw, what advantage the keter has over mochin. And of course, that keter is greater than all 9 sefirot of zeir anpin from chochma till malchut. But, in spite of this, he is called keter of zeir anpin, despite the fact that he keter is not related (in properties) to him zeir anpin. 78 Despite the fact that keter is not qualitatively related to zeir anpin, he, nevertheless, is called keter of zeir anpin. Depsite the fact, that the nation of Israel stubbornly think that Yeshua doesn’t have any relation to them, Yeshua nonetheless remains eternally their crown, the king of Israel. /Page 239, line 17/: At the end of the previous lesson Ari revealed to us, that keter of zeir anpin is greater than all 9 sefirot of zeir anpin put together, and that he is nevertheless called zeir anpin’s keter, despite the fact that he is not qualitatively related to zeir anpin. Keter is not related to zeir anpin in properties, but he is still called the keter of zeir anpin. Just as Yeshua – the keter, crown, king of the chosen nation of Israel. He came from, as it were, the nation of Israel, but at the same time – see, what Ari is telling us – Yeshua does not belong to this people. This is what Yeshua said to us: “Foxes have holes, but The Son of Man has no place to rest his head”. Now you will better understand that, which Yeshua often says, when he heals the sick: “Go to your priests and make a sacrifice, as your tradition commands you”. Namely “to your priests” – they are not the priests of Yeshua. And yet at the same time, Yeshua asserts: “ I came for the Creator’s flock, for the lost/confused/bewildered people of Israel (and not for other nations!). After all, according to the Creator’s plan, first the nation of Israel must accept Yeshua, and then also the rest of the nations of the world. First kelim Ga”R receive light, and then Za”T. Do you remember, how Yeshua emphasized this, when he sent out his shlichim, disciples? He ordered them to only go to the cities and habitations of Israel. Hear, my friend, what I am saying! The fact that they very soon went to other nations was because the chosen people did not receive his good news about the approaching malchut shamayim, the Kingdom of heaven. But Yeshua himself sent them exclusively to the places inhabited by Jews, for he was extremely well versed in the structure of the Tree of life – zeir anpin, clothed by keter. Moreover, he strictly directed them not to go to gentiles…and who were the gentiles? The rest of the world are others than the people of Israel. One more time: Why did his 12 disciples have to go to the cities and villages of Israel? – First Israel had to – by way of tshuva – the act of returning to the Creator (everywhere incorrectly translated as “repentance”) – to come to the reception of the Holy Spirit through the High/Supreme keter. And only then the whole Israel could shine to the rest of the nations of the world as well. And since Israel did not accept Yeshua, then the shlichim were forced to go to other flocks…not those chosen by the Creator. “The chosen people” – this is the head of humanity: chochma-bina-daat. And instead they went into the body of humanity: into ChaGa”T until chase – outside of the people of Israel. See, what we are learning…this is absolutely uniquely connected Yeshua’s spirit…namely here you will find him. Here, through the Ari, I am able to feel him…to get a taste! This for me is no longer a story of empty words…imitation of Yeshua on the cross…necessary weekly readings from the book of the Jewish Testament not in the language of Yeshua himself, but in a translation into some language of the nations of the world…. And so, they attempt with their heads, which essentially belong to the level of the body of the humanity’s partsuf, to understand something that is absolutely impossible without learning Kabbalah. After all they worship Yeshua, no? Then why be followers and not grab onto the study of Kabbalah – the teaching of Yeshua himself – first and last of all kabbalists in world history able to bring 79 Creation of HaShem to salvation and perfection?! But…how, do tell me, can they, the nations of the world, their teaching, priests, come to this most great knowledge of Kabbalah – and together with it to the knowledge of Yeshua – if…the chosen nation of Israel themselves do not receive neither Kabbalah nor Yeshua – The Supreme/High keter. It is so silly when they stubbornly argue that Kabbalah is a holy teaching, but Yeshua is a heathen and a traitor of the people of Israel. What can you then expect from, say, a catholic priest or a Russian batyushka and other religious teachings? After all, if the head does not desire, then how can the body do anything? Until the head will want, a person can’t even move a finger! And even if he will move it, this is going to be “self-initiated” …only vague assumptions inspired by faith below knowledge…without the head of the body. Line 17: והטעם הוא לפי שכאשר אמא שהיא התבונה רוצה להעטיר ולהכתיר את בנה ז"א בסוד בעטרה שעטרה לו אמו הנה היא יורדת ומשפלת גופה למטה עד שיעור חצי ת"ת שלה כנ"ל ומקפת ומסבבת ראשו של ז"א ונעשית לו בחי' כתר ועטרה ואז נחשב כאלו הוא מבחי' ז"א עצמו לסיבת התחברותו והתדבקותו עמו And the meaning of this is in that when Ima, this is tvuna, desires to give the crown to her son zeir anpin as is written in holy writings “crown, which mother made for him”. And so, she lowers and decreases her own body down to the measure of the bottom half of her tiferet, as is written above. And so, she surrounds the head of zeir anpin and becomes for him the aspect of keter and crown. And then it is considered, as though he keter is from the aspect of zeir anpin himself, in view of his connectivity and adjacency to her. I remember, that in the previous lesson, while reading the last sentence – we read, to be precise, only one sentence, line 17 from period to period – I said, that I was impressed by what I am reading. That I do not have the words…and this is not figuratively speaking. This was exclamation…how to put this…spiritual delight. And this happens not once, but not in every lesson you hear from me words of rapture/elation, for not in every lesson the impact is so strong, that it is accompanied by a special revelation. Such delight comes not only from what I feel and attract, it also comes…I can’t say that this is a rule, but frequently in these moments of delight are also accompanied by a revelation. And such a revelation is like a flash. And this is what happened in the previous lesson. As soon as I read this sentence, immediately at that very moment I received a revelation… And this is like a flash, when my question, which I, to be precise, never put into words, but which, obviously, was already in my subconscious, in my depths, suddenly unexpectedly appeared…arose. Within me, obviously, somewhere settled such a question, to which I just couldn’t receive an answer: I couldn’t map it with Torah or with what we are learning here in Kabbalah. And so from this sentence I received within myself a huge discharge of energy: question and answer came to me at the same moment, as one flash from a single Source. And this happened, when I said: “I am made speechless by what I just read!” This is not only my answer, after all my answer could have been, in reality, also your question? And I, possibly, received indirect your MAN? Because we are 80 learning one common Source, true? Only I learn – through my kelim, and you – through your kelim, but, essentially, I repeat, this could actually have been your question also. Therefore, with my poor language I want to touch upon what happened at that moment. I will try to express it with words. For this I will have to once again read and translate the last sentence. Look carefully; it is rare for me to operate in this way. But whatever happens, happens… He tells us, that when Ima, that this is tvuna, desires to give the crown to her son zeir anpin, she lowers and reduces her body down to the measure of the bottom half of her tiferet and then surrounds zeir anpin’s head and becomes the aspect of keter and crown makes for him keter and crown. Then zeir anpin receives a tenth sefira – keter. Do you still remember? ZA receives keter, which are not from him, and at the same time, he, keter, adjoins zeir anpin. And then it is considered as though this crown – keter of zeir anpin, in view of his adherence to zeir anpin. At that very moment when I read this…and so…a flash of light – as I already told you: question and immediately, practically at the same time, the answer. This is regarding the episode with Moshe, who in the desert met a burning bush…when he also saw the angel of HAVAYA. For it is written in the Torah, that this was namely “angel of HAVAYA, but not HAVAYA Himself! And HAVAYA Himself descended to mount Sinai and gave into Moshe’s hands the Torah…Moshe received stone tablets directly from HaShem, directly from HAVAYA. But how is this possible? – We know, that Moshe went up “to the mountain” – to sefira daat of zeir anpin. How can Moshe receive the Torah other than through keter, Yeshua, after all above him, above Yeshua – is the place of keter?! How could Moshe receive the Torah in any other way than through Yeshua?! This is a very very thin/subtle and deep question… And this is also the answer that each of the people of Israel must pose for themselves. But they can’t engage with this question…after all they do not learn Kabbalah. And if they do learn, then they do it childishly so, with a religious-cultural tinge (“for themselves”), rather than proceeding from the Holy Spirit (“for the sake of giving”). We are already learning Kabbalah lishma, and therefore we know that keter – this is Yeshua! And this is the picture I received in one moment and understood – that is, accepted as truth, and not with logical fabrications, as the hapless chosen nation of Israel are feeding themselves with this (logical fabrications). Because they only learn with their heads! I, however, received the answer in one moment and this is light, illuminating the dark, as anthracite to darkness, of the inner world. This is the effect of that which I heard and saw simultaneously. Not that someone was talking to me, but the point of this revelation I received through-the-forces directly. What does it mean, that Yeshua…It is said that Moshe was not the same kind of prophet as all the others. They saw haShem through their prophecies, through experiencing ecstasy, in dreams, etc. – that is, indirectly. But Moshe spoke to haShem panim-be-panim, face to face. What does “face to face” mean? HAVAYA (in this quality of His name) appeared for the first time to Moshe, being that the forefathers did not perceive Him in this Eternal name. He revealed himself as Shadai, Omnipotent, as Elohim etc., but only to Moshe He showed Himself in the quality of HAVAYA, because the strength of Moshe’s comprehension - sefira daat of zeir anpin – higher than all the levels of the forefathers. Sefira daat includes within itself, to be precise, all nice lower sefirot of zeir anpin. And this is because daat stands between chochma and bina, absorbing/incorporating into itself their properties by the middle line. The essence of ChaBa”D is in the sefira daat, because daat conducts the luminescence via the middle line down into the body, the 7 bottom sefirot. Moreover, daat is the 81 representative of the lower seven in the head, and they are therefore included in daat. Now look very carefully what I am trying to say with words. Moshe has the whole partsuf of zeir anpin, except for his sefira keter. And so this sefira keter was necessary for him to receive the Torah. And he received the Torah, as we know, directly from HAVAYA. How are we to understand this? This means that he ascended the mountain Sinai and saw HAVAYA. How? Give your complete attention, for you will not find this anywhere! Sefira daat has only nine sefirot of zeir anpin: ChaBa”D, ChaGa”T NeH”Y (plus ateret yesod in-the-quality-of/as malchut), and this is still not the complete name of HAVAYA. Why is it not complete, after all at face value there all 4 letters of His name: yud – chochma, upper hay – bina, vav – zeir anpin, and lower hay – malchut. And where is the tenth sefira in HAVAYA? – This is the tip of the letter yud, emerging out on the top of yud. Moshe needed her, this tip, for the reception of the Torah. And this is the meaning of Moshe’s ascent to the top of mount Sinai that he acquired “the tip of yud” and with that same attainment/comprehension the whole name HAVAYA of zeir anpin of the world Atsilut – and this is the Torah! And this is the Torah’s strength Moshe, and we know her in clothing, in the written form, etc. But this is the Torah. Moshe in no way would have been able to receive Torah without the tip of the letter yud! How did he acquire this tip of yud? This we are learning here in line 19: …when Ima, that this is tvuna, desires to give the crown to her son zeir anpin, she lowers and decreases/reduces her body down to the measure of the bottom half of her tiferet and then surrounds the head of zeir anpin and becomes the aspect of keter and crown makes for him keter and crown. The same thing happens with Moshe during the reception of the Torah. We know that when Moshe rose high on the mountain, the clouds covered his head. And this means the same: ChaBa”D – this is in the head, being that Moshe was there the representative of Za”T, that as we know do not have their own head. And this is the meaning of the reception of Torah, that Ima, or as he says, tvuna, descended and surrounded the head of zeir anpin and added to her the luminescence of the aspect of keter and crown. In other words, she lowered to Moshe the strength of the tip of yud of the name HAVAYA (YHVH). Therefore, this keter is considered, in some sense, to be as zeir anpin himself. And from here, Moshe, having ascended to zeir anpin’s keter, attained the comprehension of the whole name HAVAYA. After all the letter yud can not be revealed if not through the very tip of the yud, without which there is no attainment of the full letter yud – chochma, wisdom! And this tip of yud becomes zeir anpin’s keter by reason of his unification with zeir anpin. This is what Moshe was the first to attain, comprehend and reveal to the world… He drew the Torah down, and thereby drew also the strength of Keter, which he received through Ima. Namely because of this, this reception of Torah is called “the gifting of the Torah”: she descended from above like a gift. Ima gave keter, strength of Yeshua, to zeir anpin as a gift. And zeir anpin – this is the strength of Yeshua! And for this reason, when Moshe was descending from mount Sinai with the Torah in his hands, it was then impossible to look at him. His face glowed and sparkled with the incredible power of luminescence…from keter! He, Moshe, was unrecognizable, because the luminescence of keter covered his whole face. And this is the inner connection between Moshe and Yeshua. And without Yeshua he would not have been able to receive the Torah for the nation of Israel. This is a little bit of what I tried to convey with my poor tongue about that stunning flash of comprehension. This flash of light…this spiritual perception, all of this having come to me all in one moment…and it will never disappear! 82 So you see, without any logical speculations, without: “if this is so, then it must be…” – only with the head, intelligence, you get nowhere in the spiritual. Rather you have to go above the head and then on you will descend flashes of comprehension of the upper laws of the universe. Study this method. On the one hand, we engage in the marginal accuracy of what he, Ari, reveals to us, not leaning to the left or the right…but on the other hand – we are opening ourselves up to spiritual views, conducting connections with the Torah, Yeshua, with everything that we are learning in Lurianic Kabbalah: in The Teaching of Liberation, in TaNaCh, in Talmud, in Brit Chadasha… - in this lies the essence of your individual work on yourself. /page 239, line 21/: וז"ס מ"ש בתיקונים הכתר הוא אמא על ברא גם אמרו בתקונים כי כל הכתר הוא אהי"ה And this is the essence of that, which is written in Tikunim in Tikunei Zohar: keter – this is Ima above the son. It is also said in Tikunim, that each keter – this is the EhYE. We already know that in ever state we have keter. Keter – within us, but to be more precise – above us, and it is necessary to receive him. There is a level “keter” – determined by the highest light that is in a partsuf. And there is a state, where there is only kli keter, for we always begin our correction from the smallest – from kli keter. (Look carefully: constantly pay attention to the inverse relationship between lights and kelim. Without a clear view of this inverse relationship, there’s no point in talking about any kind of understanding of the teaching of Kabbalah, about any kind of communication with the higher step! It is like a multiplication table, because then you don’t have to think about what three times five? In an approximately the same way you have to know about the principle, the law of the inverse relationship between lights and kelim. And until you are thoroughly fluent in this, and in practice, as though playing with these concepts, there is no point in reading or listening to my lessons! Nothing will help! How to work with this? There are five lights… one above the other. Draw them with names (if not in your power to imagine them internally), and under them five kelim with their names. And thus, say to yourself: “in the very beginning of correction, when I correct my kli keter of a given state, which I am correcting, then into him arrives the very first, the most coarse rough light nefesh and so on, until I come to the very lowest kli malchut, into which the light nefesh descends at the end of the filing rest of the kelim with all the lights, and into kli keter descends the highest light – light yechida”). First comes the level malchut, where partsuf has only one kli – kli keter. And the level keter comes as the very last, and in him there are all five kelim. By the way – this is already going to be called communication with the higher, because this way you are internally going through process also in inner strengths. Understood? We make correction from up down, from kli keter, the most transparent, afterwards we correct kli chochma and with this we allow the 2’nd light to enter – still deeper from the light kelim to the heavier, from light desires to the heavier, in the language of the Kabbalah: to more avim, “thick”. And here we mean namely the level of keter. This is what he tells us: because each keter – this is the name o EhYE. 83 והענין הוא כי מבחי' אמא הנקרא אהי"ה כנודע נעשית כתר דז"א כנודע כפי מה שבארנו ודע כי לא ז"א לבד אלא ע"ד הנ"ל הם כל בחי' של הכתרים של שאר הפרצפים כמו א"א או"א נוקבא דז"א כי כולם כתריהם נעשה מן ת"ת העליון שעליו עד"ז שבארנו בכתר דז"א And the matter is that from the aspect of Ima, which, as is known, is called EhYE (in the holy tongue meaning “I will be”), is made keter of zeir anpin, as is known, corresponding to what we have explained. And know, that not only zeir anpin, but as is said above, any aspect of keter that is in the rest of the partsufim, as for example: AA, AvI, Nukva of seir anpin – all of their keters are made from higher tiferet of the higher stage that is above him, as it was explained above about the keter of zeir anpin made of tiferet of Ima that is above him. That is, all of the aspects of keter, including each keter of every condition in our process of correction – they come from the higher degree. והנה גם כן יתבאר לך כי הרי מבשרי אחזה אלוה והרי אין אנו רואים שהאדם התחתון שבעה"ז יש בו כתר עם המוחין בתוכו למעלה מן המוחין שלו And so, this way it will be understood for you, that indeed by the principle from my flesh I will see the divine: we do not see, so that the lower person, who is in this world, that he would had keter crown with mochin in her that is higher than his mochin. Application of this principle means looking on some aspect of a person in our world and to correlate it with a similar aspect of the higher step. That is, from the lower to recognize the higher and vice versa. For one comes from the other: the lower from the higher, and therefore also from the lower it is possible to conclude what is in the higher. Thus, Ari tells us: from this principle we do not see that the lower has the same aspect as the higher, and that also in the higher we do not see, that the lower person that is in this world, that he has keter crown with mochin that is higher than his own mochin. And how is this possible? אך זה יובן במ"ש כי הנה כמו שהכתר אינו מכלל גופו דז"א רק בחי' מקפת עליו זולתו כך הוא באדם התחתון שהכתר שלו הוא אור רוחני מקיף עליו ואינו נגלה וניכר לעין כל אמנם החיצוניות שלו המתפשט למטה הוא הנגלה והוא הגולגלת המקיף את המוחין של אדם עצמו And how does he explain this to us? That we have… we do not see keter, being that: But this will be understood through that which is said, that indeed, as keter is not related to the body of zeir anpin, but only surrounds him, likewise in the lower person, that his keter – this is the spiritual light above him, but is not revealed and not visible to the eye. And only his outer/external part, which spreads down – is revealed. And this – skull, surrounding the mochin brains of the person. CONCLUSION: Fiftieth gates – the Gates of Yeshua 84 /page 259, line 39/: ולכן צריך שבחכמה יהיו נכללות כל ח' בחינות שתחתיה וגם כל א' מהם תהיה כלולה מכל ד' מוחין והנה ד"פ ח' הם ל"ב נתיבות חכמה ועד"ז הרי שגם במוח הב' הנקרא בינה יוכללו בו כל הז' שתחתיה וכל א' מהז' כלולה מהג' מוחין התחתונים כי כבר נכללו במוח הראשון בחכמה כנ"ל Therefore it is necessary for chochma to include/incorporate within itself all eight aspects that are under her. And that each one of them also consisted of all four mochin. And so, four times eight – thirty two pathways of chochma; And in the same way it turns out, that likewise in the second moach, called bina, are going to be included/incorporated all seven that are under her. And each of the seven consists of three lower mochin, as they are already included/incorporated in the first moach – in chochma, as said above. והנה ז"פ ג' הם כ"א כמנין אהי"ה ולכן אהי"ה בבינה ולהיות להם ב' בחי' כנ"ל שהם בחי' גולגלתא ובחי' ט"ס דז"א כולו לכן נכפלו ויהיה ב' שמות אהי"ה גימ' מ"ב ויש בהם ח' אותיות הרי ן' שערי בינה And so: seven times three – twenty one, like the numerical value of the name EhYE. And therefore – EhYE – in bina. And there like in them there are two aspects, as is said above, that this aspect golgalta and aspect of all nine sefirot of zeir anpin, that therefore they doubled and became two names EhYE – gematria 42. And there are 8 letters in them – altogether: 50 gates of bina. /page 260, line 1/: Simply remarkable! The last thing that we were just learning – the 50 gates of bina. There are comprehensions, which are enclosed in 49 gates of bina and we can study them and get to know them in the course of 6000 years. All of this is from bina… After all what chochma do we receive in the course of the period of correction of creation, before gmar tikun? This is, to be precise, the chochma of bina. True chochma, GAR of chochama, we will receive only in gmar tikun. And before this we receive correction from bina: in each correction she ascends into the head of AA and there receives chochma – chochma of bina! And altogether there are 50 gates. And so, to Moshe was given to reach 49 gates, and the last gates, the fiftieth – it was not given to him from above. Note, that here, in the book Etz Chaim, there are…all 50 gates! Look at the end of the book. How many gates are there? Look at the digital file of the book Etz Chaim that we are working with: there you will see on the page 586, the beginning of 50th gates. What we are learning is grandiose! Indeed in the Talmud the sages of the Torah declare to us, that to Moshe was given from above 49 gates – These, he, the greatest of all prophets, was able to comprehend. But the 50th – to hi were not given! But Etz Chaim gives to us the comprehension of all 50 gates! Because to Ari, for the first time in the history of humanity, was given permission from above to reveal to us the essence of the 50th gates! But how is this possible? Why into the 50th gates, of which Moshe undoubtedly knew, he did not merit entering in? He himself couldn’t draw them down…then how does Etz Chaim manage to do this?! But tell me, please, who stands above Moshe? – Kli keter, as 85 we learned about this. The Supreme High Keter of zeir anpin on the scale of souls – this is the soul of Yeshua. So, what kind of comprehension brings with itself the 50th gates? What kind of gates are they? – These are gates of the comprehension of Yeshua, comprehension of the whole Kingdom of Heaven. 50th gates bring the creation perfection, completeness. About this Moshe himself said to the nation of Israel: “After me will come a Prophet…Listen to him!”…Because through him you will receive access to the 50th gates. And the Torah itself gives us a hidden indication, HaShem himself suggests this. We know, that He refused Moshe the entrance into the Promised Land. Moshe was allowed to see it only from a distance, but entrance - that was not given. And who else then was able to lead people into the land of The Creator? - Moshe's successor: In the Torah he is called Yehushua bin Nun - temporary liberator of Am Israel, the nation of Israel. Let us consider his names. The name Yehoshua consists of two parts: letters of the name Yeshua + letter hay. And this name represents the sensory image, fleshly image, invisibly indicating about the future liberator of Israel, who will lead him once and for all into the Promised Land. And so the name Yehoshua - this is already the same name Yeshua as the Mashiach's, but in the first there is added the letter hay ...And now look at the beginning letters of the name Yehoshua. These are the first three letters yud-hay-vav of the name HAVAYA. But the last letter hay of the holy name it is lacking! And this is because Yehoshua did not have the level of purity of Yeshua, Supreme Keter. And as we learned: wherever the klipot are mixed in - even minutely - there, if you add, it will decrease. (As is said in the Zohar: add the letter ain to "shtei esrei" - 12, turns into "eshtei esrei" - 11). The second element "bin" is invisibly indicatory of the future name Bo"N the complete strengths of malchut, which she will receive with the arrival of Yeshua the Mashiach. He, Yeshua, will complement first three letters of the holy name HAVAYA with the lacking lower letter hay. And the "Nun" in the name of Yehoshua - this is the concealed indication in the Torah of the 50th gates (because "nun" - this is the letter, the numerical value of which is 50!), which will be revealed with Yeshua's arrival. And with them comes the Creator's planned complete, ultimate liberation and perfection of His creation. We see with our own eyes, that the aspect of the Supreme keter is unequivocally clearly connected with the 50th gates. 'גם הטעם כי הנה הז' הכלולים במוח בינה כאשר מתפשטים למטה בז"ת דז"א כנ"ל צריך שכל א' מהז יהיה כלול מז' עצמן הרי מ"ט שערים כי שער הנ' נשאר למעלה בגולגלתא Likewise the point is that the seven included in the moach of bina, when they spread down to zeir anpin's seven lower, as is said above, then it is necessary for each of these seven itself to consist of seven. And this is 49 gates, because the 50th gates remained above in golgalta in keter. אך בחי' התפשטותן למטה אינם רק מ"ט לא נ' כמו למעלה וזהו ההפרש שיש בבחינותן למעלה בגלגלתא שהם נ' לבחי' למטה שאינה רק מ"ט כי שער הנ' נשאר למעלה But the aspect of their spreading down - this is only 49, but not 50, as is above. And this is the difference that exists above in golgalta that this is 50 and only 49 are below. Being that the 50th gates - above. 86 What w great revelation! I am amazed by what I am hearing! What a grand confirmation gives to us Ari about Yeshua! And this is what I constantly confirm to you about the liberating force, which comes from studying Etz Chaim! Listen and you will hear, what he is saying... This is truly the first time that I perceive this in this way. Of course, I have studied this book...but as I am passing it to you...It's one thing when you learn by yourself, but if I have to pass it to another, then this study receives a completely different, additional... marvelous dimension. Because I make myself especially receptive to what I hear from Ari...in order to pass it on to you. This is already not the comedy of studying for the sake of studying, to understand something, to comprehend, but that which we are lacking: the work of giving. And namely due to this all of this is given to me! Is it clear what I am talking about? This is written in Pirkei avot, in the "Teachings of the fathers": " I learned a lot from my teacher, a lot from my friends...but more than anywhere else I learned from my students". And I can say the same thing, that I have learned a lot and do still learn a lot from my students...from you, since namely thanks to the fact that I have to pass on to you what I am learning, I am awarded such great realizations. However, this is now happening for the first time in the history of humanity - I can say this with certainty, since I absolutely do not take myself into account. I make myself transparent to what I hear from Ari. "Transparent" - means, that my malchut I connect with bina, with the second point, with the side of "good" on the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. And so, in this state I am awarded the reception from above and transmission...to you. Listen to what he tells us, that aspect of their spreading down - only 49, and not 50, as it is above, in keter. And only above, in keter - aspect of the 50th gates. And below, in the 9 lower sefirot of zeir anpin - there is only the aspect of 49 gates. Because the 50th gates remain above... What power! So through which gates did the soul of Yeshua descend to us, clothed in the body of this world? - Yes, through the 50th, because they, 50th gates, are the gates of keter. And if it is so, then you, Vladimir, now give an answer yourself to your own request to me... For you asked me, "jumping ahead, reveal the secret of the Resurrection of the Savior", no? If the Liberator/Savior descended into our world through the 50th gates, what should be His Resurrection, His return into the day of the Jewish festival Pesach where-from he came, through which gates?! And what are these 50th gates? What kind of properties do they possess, what are their patterns? - And this is what we are learning, rising step by step, on Etz Chaim, gradually passing through the lower gates to the higher... until, finally, we'll pass through, be'ezrat hashem...to the gates of Yeshua. The Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven 1. The Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven is Kabbalah Teaching of 87 the level kli Keter In this section we will consider the statements of Yeshua - His Teachings of Malchut Shamayim (the "Kingdom of Heaven") through the lens of Kabbalah teachings teachings about the proper receipt in order to give. After all, teachings of Yeshua directed only to disclosure of the weakest light of the Creator - the light nefesh of the level kli Keter. In other words, the Teachings of “Kingdom of Heaven” explains to us how to get this light nefesh, that is, in fact, the Kabbalah teaching of the LEVEL KLI KETER - the most origins of Kabbalah! Our goal is to express it so, that it will help, so you can use it and apply in practice, in order to learn to live with the laws of the "Kingdom of Heaven" while being still in this world. This is exactly my intention. Know, that the commandments of Yeshua ( )ישועare not something other than the laws of the Torah. Hashem descended the soul of Yeshua down to the earth in order to completely fulfill the Torah. The Torah is the living power of Zeir Anpin. The whole idea is to let "the nation of Israel" first live by the Torah covenant ‘in-meat’, correcting itself, until the time comes of manifestation here on earth of the highest force of the total internal liberation. This power frees man from the bondage of self-love - and that is inherent in the phenomenon named ישוע- Yeshua - Salvation! Completion and full implementation of the Torah was given in the name Yeshua. Whereas the laws of the Torah, as it was received by Moshe for the second time, do not lead people to the fluency, integrity and perception of the merger with Hashem. This level of the Torah perception deals only with dairy - meat, kosher - not kosher, permitted – not-permitted, pure impure, sin - virtue. This duality was required, according to the Higher plan, to be later subsequently removed, allowing a rise ‘above knowledge’, thereby realizing the absolute unity with Hashem. And this is possible only through the force of the name Yeshua. By each subject of the study of Lurianic Kabbalah we can potentially achieve this unity, but inherent to each subject of the study level. It's like climbing up and pulling the unity down in our hearts. Our task is to work out the laws passed by Yeshua, rather than learning the stories of some ignoramus writers of the so-called "New Testament". (The fact that they were all, without exception, spiritually ignoramuses, testifies to us Yeshua himself in their own stories!). Why then do I need their evidences (and, in general, evidence of whomever else!). After all, "evidences" needs only an unbeliever, isn’t it? The "witness" of Yeshua himself comes from the miracle-working Keter – from the Teachings of Kabbalah Lishma! It is known, that the properties of each Keter are identical and immutable. This kind of TESTIMONY I certainly accept with whole my heart and soul! For He himself testifies about the Creator! And without evidence of Yeshua no one would ever have felt and understand who is in fact this Hashem - His Father! The whole point is that you study the words of Yeshua - as they 'heard' in the holy language - as it was spoken by Yeshua. Of course, Yeshua had not spoken in Greek, but only in the holy language and Aramaic. At that time, few of common people in Israel spoke the holy language and were able to read and understand the Holy Scripture. In Galil (Galilee), where mainly taught Yeshua, they had spoken Aramaic. But Yeshua 88 studied the Holy Scriptures and also participated in discussions with the elders within the Temple. Those sages of the Torah knew the holy language very well and used it in practice. And so we will study here only the holy words of Yeshua based on the language, which he had spoken in reality... N.B.: I want to warn you to return again and again to already elaborated by you messages of this column. After all, it is not a book that has a frozen form, but I constantly adjust these posts, delete what no longer applies and adding new disclosures in old ones. 2. THE MIRACULOUS CONCEPTION OF YESHUA 89 רםr rובט s ףu יוסs ה לwרשw ֹמאs הw תs יwאמו הz םwריs מz {שיחz wשוע{ ה{ מu ת יrדrדב{ ר •הלs הr זsו ש׃r רוח{ ה{ קֹ דuרה מw w את הuמצs z נwיהr לuיב ֹא אw And this is the birth of ישוע- Yeshua, the Savior. Miriam, His mother, was betrothed to Joseph, and before he (Joseph) came to her had the physical intimacy she had become pregnant by Ruach haKodesh, the Holy Spirit. Here I will gradually give an explanation, which you will not find anywhere else in any of the Jewish (and what to say about all the other) sources! Of course, from our earthly understanding, it all seems very strange. You can believe it "below the reason" as do religious people, but when you are under your reason, how to combine it all? When you study the Kabbalah, you comprehend, how the higher level descends to the lower one. You know that the soul cannot descend into our world without the intrusion into physical matter. So how can ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit, make a woman of flesh and blood pregnant? First, we have to go beyond our earthly understanding (by connecting the point of Malchut to the Binah, in order to arrive at a conscious understanding , and at the same time using all that we have available. What do I mean? - Try to justify, and only when you have no other choice - you cannot make clear to yourself - just then you may say, "for Hashem nothing is impossible." This technique you are to use, but only when you notice something impossible within (or outside) your understanding. Then we have the answer that the ruach hakodesh made Miriam pregnant. In the Kabbalah, in the Zohar we learn... always see exactly what is the topic of conversation... what is at stake. We have two parents: a father and a mother of flesh and blood. But in the heaven, in the spirituality, the eternity, we have a father and a mother, that are called Z”A and nukvah. Ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit descends from Z”A, so it should come from Z”A down to Miriam; that is the power that gave birth Yeshua. Now the question is that, within her flesh are to be a male and a female aspects. A man is covered by his physical organs and has everything to make a baby in flesh. We also learned that for the birth of a child a troika (trio) is necessary: father, mother and the Creator - Ruach hakodesh, Z”A. This is the fact. A father gives what is called loven, white, a mother gives what is called odem, red and ruach hakodesh gives the soul. Why? Pay attention. It's not easy to find the right words: here there are many different layers of different kinds of information. Here we have the "incomprehensible" mystery "incomprehensible" for the world outside the Kabbalah. Be attentive and throw away the ideas and the findings of "Christians"... I'm not saying it's wrong – for every thing there is a level - there are things, which for religious people are always incomprehensible. The “Christians” did not have the Kabbalah, it had not yet been disclosed (and Yeshua disclosed it to the Jews). Thus, one thing should be clear to you, you must accept the principle: the spiritual has no any relation to the material substances. Know that spiritual forces have absolutely nothing to do (and have no connection whatsoever) with the material substances. The physical comes from the system of unclean forces, which also exists. That is why the unclean force is so stubborn within our limits, and that is what you have to overcome. 90 The body is completely filthy – don’t forget this!. You have to penetrate many layers to understand and comprehend this secret. Is there another way to get pregnant? Here, in this material world, we need a man and a woman. After all is said: ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit came down into her, and not the Creator Himself! The Holy Spirit is lower and the coarser - it is a garment of the Creator. Now it can be better understood. This is possible only through deep reflections and getting a feel of the spirituality through the method of the spiritual attainment through the Kabbalah! The Holy Spirit came down to Miriam - He (the Holy Spirit) made himself coarsening. The force that pulled the ruach hakodesh is a seed in the spiritual. A soul of baby lowered, and the ruach hakodesh must somehow coarsen itself to come here in the material world, in the form of seed. Is not it? This is not something that can be discussed of, for we have a lot of physical associations, and our faith is still below our understanding, so it will come later... and individually. Know that faith below the reason cannot help. Only faith above reason helps - removes from the bondage of material. Of course, you should do some research, but then you have to go up and above your reason instead of insisting that you cannot do that. The paths of the Creator we investigate in general, and then we go in the particular aspect, above our reason. Do not let the subject of your research and comprehension to be finite, but contribute, being a part of, for the understanding of a particular phenomenon in its eternal cycle. This is what we do. According to our research, with all the best of our luggage regarding the spiritual world, ruach hakodesh entered Miriam. The Physical, bodily, the masculine origin in Yeshua was thus gradually "improved" through the atonement of His predecessors. We already know his male line... patriarch Avraham... forefather Joseph... forefather David... and, finally, his father Joseph. His fathers were already purified as a result of many generations, so that each of them made a contribution - in the growing extent – of his purity to the emergence of Yeshua here on earth "in the body". It is clear that Joseph himself was not the direct physical father of Yeshua, but he had already the required level of cleanliness. And we do not know a single word about the genealogy of his wife Miriam – the mother of Yeshua. She was, of course, also a descendent of Judah. In those days they got married only inside their own family and within their particular tribe of Israel. That's why his wife was a descendant of Judah from which the Mashiach was supposed to appear. That's all for the moment that we can say about Miriam’s pregnancy from ruach hakodesh up till now. Thus, for our investigation so far is not important HOW the Holy Spirit came down without the physical seed of a father in Miriam. It is now not our task, we do not get better or worse from knowing it or not. It is important for us what Yeshua says about himself and about the Kingdom of Heaven. His words will help us. In this place we can only say, as can be seen from the Kabbalah, that ruach hakodesh transformed by itself into a form that entered the womb of Miriam. Just as the rain falling down, so ruach hakodesh can transform itself - in a particular case 91 - in the form of seed and make a woman pregnant. And that's enough to start with. No "innovative" conclusions - all kinds of Christians’ brain research - are in view of our interest. The principle you have to firmly know is, that when there is something you do not understand, say to yourself, I do not know it yet, do not understand, do not grasp... and investigate, explore it going above reason – and just what you can at the moment and no more! And be happy about this, because everything has its time and place. 3. AND HE WILL FREE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS יושיע• א} ת־ע•מו מ~ ח• ט •את~ יה} ם׃ † ת־שמו י~שוע• כ† י הוא Š } ק‹ ‹ראת‹ אŠ ה† יא י• ל}ד} ת ב~ ן וŠו 92 And she will bear a son, and you shall call Him Yeshua ישוע, liberation, because He will free His people from their sins: Is it not a Jewish document? The angel of G’d said this himself: ישועYeshua will free His people from their sins. Not all people at once, as that will take place later, as Ga”R, the head Partzuf of humanity, has to be liberated first. The correction of lighter Kelim, has to happen firs, starting with the kli Kether. The people of Israel, the GA"R: Chochmah, Binah and Daat, which are the head of Partzuf of all mankind. Kli Keter: on the one hand He relates to the head that means to the people of Israel, as He is closer to the people of Israel. On the other hand He is higher than Chochmah-Binah-Daat, being Keter of the entire Partzuf of humanity; He is the crown, the King to the rest of mankind. Chochmah is Kohanim, the priests when they are in Gadlut. Binah is the Levites, as they used to help the priests in their state of Gadlut, in the service of the temple, because they are Binah. Daat is the people of Israel that receive the light of liberation along the midline from the other two: right and left - Chochmah and Binah. The light is transmitted from Daat into Za’T, the seven lower sefirot, and this is for the people of the world. Everything is made up of tens, so you see; there are seventy nations, from whom all the other nations come. Who should be the one to be cleaned (liberated) first? Of course, the lighter Kelim! First kli Keter, then kli Chochmah and so on down to the last which is Malchut. This is why the angel of G’d said that He, Yeshua, will save His people from their sins. Of course, other nations will follow the people of Israel, but the Jewish people have to be saved first, because the head receives first, and then it should go down from the head on down. Now do you understand what I mean when I say that the Jews are the buffer between the light and the people of the world, if they are not attracting the Supreme Light of Yeshua , the Keter. And in Keter of Zeir Anpin of the world Atzilut is included the Father. If the Jews only had Yeshua then they could connect themselves to Keter, and then from Keter the Father would shine... first of all to them and through them to all mankind! When the people of Israel will accept Yeshua, we will finally be able to transmit the highest light to all other nations of the world in general aspect. This is the main point of the plan of the Creator, and this is the reason why He brought down... sent His son ישועYeshua. As long as the Jewish people do not accept Yeshua what happens? Jews are stucked, stucked in Chaba’d - in Chochma, Binah, Daat. They do not accept Yeshua and thus, as already mentioned above, they are locked (blocked) and nothing comes to them or from them. At the top we have Sfira Keter, Chaba’d - the Jews, and below seventy nations who cannot get any light that is enclosed in Yeshua due to failure of the Jews to accept the messenger of the Creator. Of course, you can say: ‘well, what about the Christians who believe in Yeshua, can they get the highest light while avoiding people of Israel? And they also cannot get the highest light of liberation of Yehua without the Jews as they only get a faint taste of the light of liberation from the light nefesh. Chaba’d, the Jews, are the 93 intermediate steps. Because the Jews did not accept Yeshua, then the seven lower sefirot including all Christians - can receive only a faint glow of light from the Nefesh, because the light that is enclosed in Yeshua is obscured and attenuated through the layer, the barrier of Jews - regarding to all mankind as Kelim Chaba’d. But when the Jewish People will open Yeshua inside of themselves, they will not be Christians, G’d forbid, but only accept Him as the Mashiach (Messias), and accept the kli of Supreme Keter - immediately, instantly, their Kelim ChaBa’D will be cleared and the Jewish people shall be exalted " to heaven " Then, the light will shine and go on to the seven lower sefirot (each of ten). This is the point. The Creator made it that way. All that what we need - is the ten Sfirot, and this is the only way that you can see everything. This is why the angel of G’d say that Yeshua will liberate His people from their sins. Look at the language used by the Jewish people, even in the modern Hebrew. After all, they call Him Yeshu. Be careful, because in here there is hidden the deepest mystery. Read this very carefully and only than you will get the light of salvation and of purification. Each of us needs the absolute cleansing to be saved. Salvation means that all blessings come to you, and through you to your family, to your relatives. Purify yourself and the miracles happen in you! Once again carefully look at the name ישועYeshua. What did the Jews with it? They removed the letter ayin עand now His name is ישוYeshu, that is, they wrote His name without the letter AYIN! Therefore, they cannot perceive it. "Ayin" means the eyes, and the eyes are Chochmah, wisdom. They cannot see the wisdom of Hashem, hidden in Yeshua ישוע. Ayin also has the numerical value of seventy; of course, seven times ten - the seventy nations. All the light of the Creator has to come through the kli of Yeshua. We see their error, but they cannot see inside themselves the name Yeshua, because without the letter ayin there is no liberation in the name Yeshua. Behold as this is the first time... this secret has been revealed here. Of course, do not project or bring it to others, as all of this is only in the particular aspect that is inside of you, and you must find it and see it only WITHIN YOURSELF! I'm going to add here something special. Of course, this is what Yeshua foresaw when He foretold in advance that He would be given over to the Jewish authorities and that He, at last, will be crucified - "crucified"... Because the people of Israel did not accept Yeshua, their Liberation. We see that as they removed the letter Ayin from the name of Yeshua, thus "killing" their path to salvation. According the principle: what is done below, has similar effects above, the same thing happened with the body of Yeshua. How was He crucified? Two hands nailed separately, apart in hand and both feet together: the letter Ayin ע. 4. WHEN YESHUA WAS BORN, JERUSALEM SHUDDERED 94 םz ל{יw רושsל־יw כsרד הוא וƒ{ יחr ם {וrריהu בs ת־ד z rך אr לrהורדוס ה{ מ s {שמֹ עs zהי כz sו{י מו׃zע It happened, when the king Hordos heard their words, he shuddered and whole Jerusalem together with him. Hordos (Herod) was appointed to be the head of Judea. In these two names: ישועand – הורדוסYeshua and Hordos, we see a fight scene between kedusha and klipot, between holiness and impurity. Externally, we see that the king Hordos, the king of klipot shuddered from the news of the birth of the first real holiness that emerged in the world – kli of the Supreme Keter, which after all, will overthrow Hordos from his throne. In the name of הורדוס- Hordos we see the Greek word ending "s". If we omit this last letter (that does not define the essence of the name) - the end letter samech, then remains the word hordo, meaning "bring him down" - the basis of the word hordo which means " to lower, belittle." But even the end letter סsamech is meaningful, being the first letter of sitra achra - "the impure side" and the first letter of the masculine part of it. Therefore, הורדוס- hordos means that the only wish of the sitra achra is to bring down the holiness in order to get illicit use of it. On the other hand, it refers to Yeshua who brought the sitra achra 'down' and therefore conquered the death. Of course, it is clear that he, Hordos, shuddered when he heard that king of the Jews was born. After all the event of birth of Yeshua hurts the interests of the governor of Rome in Judea and of those of Hordos personally as it threatened his position. But why did all of Jerusalem shudder with it? Why didn’t Jerusalem rejoice because of their upcoming salvation? All of Jerusalem was crushed by Rome, that is, the power of "this world " - the desire to receive for oneself. If all of Jerusalem - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - heard that the king of Jews was born, is it not appropriate to be full of joy and hope for deliverance from the bondage of klipot? During the last 2000 years and up to the present day the Jewish people "shudder" every time they hear the name of Yeshua. This name Yeshua makes "shudder" the pervasive force within each person, in a place that does not belong "to this world". This is - your real, true center of existence. The great strength is in this name and every time that you say it out loud from within, it pushes all your force vectors in the direction of truth. In it lies the hidden force, that permeates all the alledged truths of your being that are so obvious to your mind, and this, of course brings pain, that makes you shudder – as it is extremely painful to face the truth. Aim yourself to the truth - it feels awesome... it seems even to be “destructive”, because then you will see... here in this area, which is below the belt, your real, real shortfalls. But 95 at the same time there is a very thin thread of salvation. Carefully look at what Yeshua felt before he was handed over to the Jewish authorities: He felt the TERROR, because He was there in the flesh and blood. What kind of terror He was exposed to? On one hand, His relationship with the Creator was so strong that He saw the Creator, and He had no doubts, of course. His soul was put in the material world, through which He saw that He must fulfill His task to bring redemption to the world. He could not say no. This is something that YOU have to do at each stage of your personal inner spiritual work - RECTIFICATION of any and all of your situations and states. If you want to accept the truth, going deeper and deeper to your own perfection, than you must agree to terrible experience and also wonderful events inside of yourself and to sense the constructive "shudders"... because only in these awe-inspiring perceptions a thin thread of redemption is hidden, it will lead you to your salvation. 5. THERE IS NO LIGHT WITHOUT KLI 96 {ברוחs םrתכs rטבֹ ל אs z הוא יsיו וw לw עs ת נuשאs מz תיz s טֹ נw ר קr י א‹ שz נrממz קw זw א א{ ח {‹רי חw ה{ בs ה וw{תשובs ם לzם ב{ מ{ יrתכs r ל אu י טובz נֹ כwא ש׃u אw ש ובrה{ קֹ ד So I sprinkle you with water for teshuvah (to return to the Creator). But the one, who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I am too small even to carry his shoes, and He will sprinkle you with Ruach hakodesh, with the Holy Spirit and fire: What tells us Yochanan ha-matbil ( Yochanan the-Sprinkler)? He says: "I sprinkle you with water." We see that Yochanan prepares the arrival of Yeshua, in order to lead the people to return to the Creator - that is, in such a way that everyone can develop for himself an individual kli. We need kli, in order to get light. There is no light without kli. Then will come Yeshua, and everyone will be prepared, I mean, will have his own kelim to take in His light of salvation. "I sprinkle you with water “- what does that mean? “Sprinkling“ takes place during the period of preparation, the period of creation of kli within a man. After all, at first in spiritual work they go to the right and there get the light of chasadim, mercy, graciousness, mayim/water. And then he turns to the ‘pharisees’ ( prushim - those who are separated from the individual work for giving!) : “You - breed of serpents ", etc., that is, inside of you there only receiving for yourself. Purify your channel of perception... purify yourself, purify the paths to Hashem. In other words, produce individual spiritual work on yourself: to the right, to the left and get the middle line - the connection with your Father in heaven! Work horizontally and vertically. Then he continues: "go and do teshuvah" – in a sense of "go to the right". The meaning of "right" should combine two positions, two points: the point of your malchut, of your din and bring her to binah . When I say ‘from left to right’, I am talking about bringing gvurot, din to chasadim. When I say ‘from the bottom up’: it is from the darkness of ACha"P to the light of chochmah. He says to go from left to right or from bottom to top, in a sense of ‘rise up from malchut to Binah’. As there is a partucular Binah in each sfirah and the overall Binah of the entire partzuf. To connect yourself with Binah means "to sprinkle with water", to do teshuvah, return to the Creator'. Let's look closely at this keyword in Hebrew - תשובה: teshuvah consists of two words: teshuv and hey – bring back the letter hey to Binah - this is the meaning of your teshuvah. Not to get directly for yourself, but to thinning your Aviyut, to lead it to Binah. Binah is called water, and water cleanses the desire to receive for yourself. First raise your malchut, your din to Binah (bear in mind: Binah exists in each sfirah and when you purify yourself up until keter, that also means that you rise to binah of keter!). In other words, first you come into the state katnut. Here is the sequence, that you must follow: first come into katnut, and then into gadlut. What is gadlut? When Yeshua comes, comes ruach hakodesh, the holy Spirit. At first you have to make katnut, get kli and then gadlut. In katnut there are several phases. The smallest katnut is when you go into binah of kli keter. This gives only a very small part of kli keter - this is the smallest correction that exists. Then you can gradually correct the 97 whole kli keter. The next step is to fix kli chochmah and so on. But to go up into your smallest kli keter, you need a corresponding kli and that is made by “sprinkling” teshuvah, the intention of the heart to return to the Creator. Now there is more of katnut, for with two kelim (keter and chochmah) two lights can be obtained. Thus, we can gradually come to gadlut. 'First, make katnut' - that was the meaning of his words, first purify yourselves, thin your aviyut by at the beginning coming to binah of sfirah keter, then to binah of chochmah, etc. This is the teshuvah, sprinkling with water, binah. What happens during this? A person is submerged into water, in a sense that he is completely under water, in other words, rises up into binah. As a consequence he ends up pure, that means he has the kelim, and then he can get the light of katnut. This is what he, Yochanan ha-matbil, did. Of course we are only talking about what is going on inside a person. If a person ‘is under the water’ without preparation, then of course, nothing good will happen! You have to know what you're doing, to believe, because faith is what you need, because otherwise you cannot connect your malchut - din - the lower hey - with binah. How can you convince a person to start to overcome his desire to receive only for himself? - Only through faith above reason - that is achieved through connection with binah! This is what he tells us. And yet we also see that Yochanan could not and did not want to immerse in water the pharisees and the sadducees, because he saw their crooked intentions. They came to him because they were afraid the coming ‘wrath of God’ and His judgment; not to do teshuvah, but only from a desire to obtain the Kingdom of heaven for themselves. 'He who comes after me is stronger than me‘. ‘Stronger’ because He will bring gadlut, and gadlut comes from the left, from where comes ruach ha-kodesh, the Holy Spirit. Chochmah comes from the left. During 6000 years of correction we get the glow of chochmah , not the chochmah of the direct light itself, but only chochmah of binah, returning in gadlut to the head of A"A and receiving the chochmah of binah! While the real chochmah will only come at Gmar Tikun. And they must be connected: inside chasadim should shine the glow of chochmah. Light of Chasadim is the condition… the spiritual dive - the condition for receiving the light of gadlut, the light of liberation of Yeshua. There is no other way because first you need to make the kelim and receive chasadim. 'Stronger than me' – means the one, from whom the glow of chochmah is received. 'The one, who will come after me' - glowing with the light of chochmah. "I'm too small, even to carry His shoes - ‘shoes’ are the lower end of a partzuf, malchut. He, in fact, is saying: 'I am smaller, lower than malchut'. While He (Yeshua) will sprinkle you with ruach hakodesh – with the Holy Spirit" Here you see that the Holy Spirit does not come from our earthly mind. The Holy Spirit is that which freely permeates through man and exits. This is not a product of the man, he just gets it as a result of his preparation. So Yochanan defines the property of gadlut ‘the supplier’ of the Holy Spirit, as a much more powerful than his own property of katnut. This is what Yeshua will do. This is why the people were so impressed... although it was not yet the force of Yeshua. Learning from portly rabbis: they got used to all sorts of their 98 cumbersome and convoluted reasonings... but the miracle inside the man just would not happen! Why the traditionalists do not draw power of ruach ha-kodesh, the Holy Spirit? After all, they study the Torah from the same sources as Yochanan and Yeshua did. The only reason is that they do not allow the ruach ha-kodesh to correct themselves, they cannot and do not want to get up to the kli keter, and for that exact reason they cannot receive the Holy Spirit. While all the conditions to receive it, exist within each person, including, of course, the pharisees and the sadducees! Just imagine a great strength… if they only allow to make themselves small in order to get power of katnut. If they only corrected themselves, and allowed themself to be not so much connected to their dead tradition... how amazingly healing it would be for all mankind, for the whole world! 'He sprinkle you with ruach ha-kodesh and fire’. ‘Fire’ from the left and ‘water’ from the right. How do we know this? Look closely at the Hebrew word ‘heaven’ - שמים ShaMaYiM: in it we see the word esh - ( )אש- fire and mayim ( )מיםwater. On the right we have mayim, water, and on the left we have esh, fire. “Yeshua will sprinkle you with ruach ha-kodesh, the Holy Spirit and with fire" Here we have all three of these lines: Yeshua will give you ruach ha-kodesh, which is the middle line, and the fire that is left line, and because as a result of sprinkling of Yochanan, from him they get water, the right line. Thus, you see that they have everything. This is what Yochanan ha-matbil says: "I sprinkle you only on the right line" , meaning "I will give you the small light of chasadim”, while Yeshua will shine His light of chochmah in the remaining parts of the kelim. 6. FIRST KATNUT AND THEN GADLUT 99 דוw ל ע{ ל־יu בwהטz sן לw נw ל־יוחrה אw נu{רדs יל ה{ יzלwמן־ה{ גz {שועuיב ֹא יw {ו And ישועYeshua came from the Galil to (the river) Jarden to Yochanan (hamatbil) to be dipped by his hand (by him personally). ל{י׃u א אw ה בw א{ תs ך וrדw ל ע{ ל־יu בwהטz sריך לz w י צz נֹ כwאמֹ ר אu ש{ ך אותו לwן חw נw יוחsו And Yochanan pulled him back, saying: I need to be dipped by You, and You come to me? ה {ו {ינ{ח לו׃w קwצדs {ל־הwא כu מ{ לsינו לuשנs zה לwא‹ וwן נu י כz י כz ה לw יחzיו ה{ נw לu ר אrשוע{ {וי ֹאמu{וי{ע{ ן י And Yeshua answered him, saying: Allow this to happen with me, because this befits us both, to fulfill all righteousness, and he (Yochanan) allowed this to happen. Yeshua explains to us that both are necessary. First, always has to be katnut. Yeshua was ready to assume upon Himself the Kingdom of Heaven, and to lower it down. He had to start over. It is always present in every process of correction. If someone wants to come in gadlut, it has to start with katnut of that level. What really Yeshua said to Yochanan: give me water, chasadim, katnut, which I will get on my level, on the level at which I will later get gadlut; although you Yochanan, yourself is in katnut, but of you I should get katnut, chasadim. 'As befits us both, so the justice is fulfilled‘. Why to both? Because there are two parts to the partzuf: above the chazeh we need chasadim and below the chazeh the glow of chochmah. Yochanan, by dipping in water you receive only chassadiem in the kelim of Hashem, above the chaze, but I will get from the Holy Spirit and get the glow of chochmah in the kelim of receiving, below the chazeh. And this is why, through me, a person will be illuminated into his kelim de kabbalah - his kelim of receiving. Only by the glow of chochmah into chasadim the correction is possible of the kelim below the chazeh. Without the glow of chochmah, the light comes only from the chazeh and above, but not below the chazeh. Corrected below the chazeh, that is the force of Yeshua! Therefore, Yeshua says: "So befits both of us, to fulfill all righteousness’. "Is it clear? And he did it, Yochanan dipped Yeshua. This means that Yeshua received from him Chasadim, because that was the power and the purpose of Yohanan. Inside Yeshua was the power of chochmah, power like fire. Already from the very beginning - before He began to preach - He was ready to get perfection, completeness, wholeness. Therefore, He had to first get Chasadim from Yochanan. The power of Yeshua is the fire of the Thora; only through these two it is possible to get ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit, and with it the completeness, wholeness and eternal life. הw יונs ת כrיורד r להים z ƒ ת־רוח{ אr{רא אs תחו־לו {ויs s פz ם נz מ{ יwה ה{ שuהנz s ם וz יwמן־ה{ מz ר {וי{ע{ לu מ{ הsשוע{ ו{יuטב{ ל יs z ר נrהי כ{א‹ שz sו{י יו׃wלwה עwחwנsו And it was, when Yeshua was dipped, and He rushed and He rose out of the water (rose from chasadim, rose to chochma. He had a small, short partzuf of katnut with chasadim and He rose from the waters, getting a whole partzuf with the glow of chochmah. And so the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the spirit of Elokim 100 (the holy spirit, the middle line, glow of chochmah in chasadim, that He recieved through those two: right – chasadim, and left - chochmah), descending like a dove and came to rest on him. יתי בו׃ z צz ר־ר w rידי א‹ ש z דz s י יzבנs הr ר זu ם אומz מ{ יwמן־ה{ שz ה קולuהנz sו And so the voice from heaven says: This is My son, My beloved, which I wanted is in Him. You already know that Yeshua is GaR of keter. There was never a soul on earth who would have the GaR of kli of Keter of Zeir anpin of the world Atzilut. We know from the Zohar, that the great soul of Benyahu ben Yehoyada, was from keter of atik. And we have learned there how Rabbi haMenuna Saba helped the two travelers on their way to haShem, to get the glow of GaR of atik of the world of Atzilut. HaSulam said that there had been a small number of souls with their root in atik of the world Atzilut, but they were only from the VaK of Keter or from the nine lower of Keter. While Yeshua is from GaR, the first three sfirot of keter of atik, and as you know, malchut de malchut is hidden specifically there. But the root of Yeshua is above malchut de malchut. Yeshua belongs to the place keter-chochmah-binah of keter of atik. We can say Keter, but in any case it is above malchut de-malchut, hidden in the head of atik from all the other subordinate partzufim. Therefore all the other souls are located under this malchut de malchut. All of them, without exception, are subject to earthly laws of gravity, including in itself the components from malchut. While the soul of Yeshua is above malchut de malchut, that is, in Him do not exist her inclusions - and that's the secret! Therefore, "heavens”, of ZA, opened and haShem said from the heavens, from the place above the heavens, from Abba and Ima, which is above Yeshua: ‘this is My son' because keter, which I brought down into this world comes from me. Keter of Zeir anpin of the world Atzilut is My son, the first kli, kli Keter. In the kli keter exists both light and power of desire. And this power is the only force that leads a person to redemption and salvation. And our study consists of uniting with this power, which penetrates your natural desire to only receive for yourself. Every time, that you do all that is within your power and go above the bounderies of your knowledge, then you can experience miracles. Your own desire dies and instead you are filled with a sense of eternal life. The desire to return to Yeshua fills you. 101 102 7. YOUR RECEIVE THE LIGHT OF CHOCHMAH ONLY… AFTER YOU ENDURE THE TEST ן׃w טw הו ה{ שu נ{סs מ{ ע{ ן יsרה לw wדבs מz {שוע{ הu ת־יr רוח{ אw א הwשw ז נwא Than the Spirit brought Yeshua to the desert, so He would be tested by the Satan. Thanks to dipping,Yeshua recieved Chasadim. And then the Spirit carried him. The Spirit, the one that descended on him, carried him to the left line to be tested. In the left line of holiness there is no satan, but he cleaves at the left line. If a man does not endure the test, than he – the unclean one - will grab there on him. Satan attracts the person from the left, tries to seduce him to attract the light of chochmah through the left line, and not through the middle. And then Satan will feed himself from this light. But only one line, only chasadim, mercy, is not perfection yet. And so, the Spirit descended from the top, brought Yeshua to the left, into the desert. Why is the "desert" on the left? Since the light there is not visible, is felt as if it does not exist. Chochma without chasadim is like a "desert", man can’t live there. ב׃wרעs zה ו{יw לsיw ים לz עwרבs { אs ים יום וz עwרבs {‹רי צומו אu הי א{ חz sו{י And it was after His fast of forty days and forty nights and He was hungry. What does it mean, forty days and nights of fasting? It is the rising of malchut through NeHIM, four sefirot - each with 10 - to a state above the chazeh. By fasting fourty days and fourthy nights she rises above the chazeh. Is it clear to you that there is absolutely no mention of an earthly fast, during these earthly days and nights? The Torah and the holy covenant do not mention a word about the earthly calendar, days and nights. 40 is the number of the sfirot. A clarification of days and night, because there is right and left. 'And He was hungry, hungry for the light of chochmah. ם׃rחw לsה לwינrהיs תz sה וr לu אw ים הz נwא‹ בw ר לu ה ד{ בwלהים א{ ת z ƒ אw ן־הrאם בz ה {וי ֹאמ{ רrמנ{סs {יו הw לu ג{ש אzו{י And the tempter approached Him and said: If you are the Son of Elohim, speak to these stones and they will become bread. Elohim is binah, and she is chasadim. In the name of Elohim, the Creator created the world. "Tell these stones to become bread”: the stones are detached from chasadim. Chasadim is bread, it will satiate hunger. What does it mean to climb out from under the parsa to the parsa itself ? I've told you once, when I had to give a lecture on Kabbalah or a lesson in real time, surrounded by the audience, inside myself I had to make an effort. And so it seemed from the outside as if I was sad. Then I look like I'm angry. But the fact is that before I rise inner, spiritual, I become heavy and therefore I seem from the outside moody. We will learn that a similar spiritual action Yeshua did within himself. This is the way to the parsa. When you transition the place of parsa, then you are in the intermediate state of neither death nor life. The place of the parsa is also the place of concentration of klipot. And when you have gone through the parsa, you feel yourself already as it were "in heaven". And then all of a sudden you feel inside, as if the heaviness left you. You feel hunger, interest, desire for life and boundless strength! But the very approach to the parsa 103 felt as if there is no strength, as if you are about to fall "in a swoon". Parsa is the dividing line between the higher and lower in each state. And here it is necessary to pass through it EVERY TIME, when you spiritually climb from the lower level to the corresponding higher. ה׃w הוs י־יz א פwל־מוצw י ע{ ל־כz ם כw דw אwה הrחיs z ב{ דו יs ם לrחrתוב ל ֹא ע{ ל־ה{ לw ן כu{וי{ע{ ן {וי ֹאמ{ ר ה And He (Yeshua) answered and said, it is written (in the Torah) not only for bread will man live, but for all that comes out of the mouth of HaWaYA’H. A man will not live on bread alone - what does it mean? Not only for chasadim from the right, not only mercy, because this is not enough. He needs chochmah, getting of the higher wisdom from the left line. From the mouth of HaWaYA’H comes chochmah. Both are needed. Satan wants the man to remain in shortage – so he does not work on himself individually in two lines. And so that's why he tried to seduce Yeshua in that way. But Yeshua refers to the saying of the Torah, for the Torah only leads a person to the midline: the shining of chochmah in chasadim: “not only for bread will live person, but all that comes out of the mouth of HaWaYA’H”. ש׃w דsמקz { ית הu נ{ת־ג{ג בz הו ע{ ל־פu‹מידz ש {ו {יעr יר ה{ קֹ דz ל־עr ן אw טw הו ה{ שu אw שzו{י And Satan carried him to the holy city (everybody immediately thinks, of course, it's the geographical location, the city of Jerusalem) and put him on the roof of the temple. What does this mean? Only through Kabbalah you can comprehend it. The strength of the Temple is the four upper sefirot of the world Briyah. "The Throne of Glory" Hashem is the place of four upper sfirot of the world of Briyah. "The roof" of the Temple, this is the upper limit of the highest sfirah of the world of Briyah. And at the same time, this is "the floor" of the adjacent higher step. In other words, Satan brought Yeshua up the spiritual ladder to the bottom edge of the world Atzilut, the roof of "The Holy Temple", and Yeshua's feet are on the place of malchut of the world Atzilut. This means that Yeshua himself elevated above that place. He has already survived the "easy" test, by not to go into the temptation of Satan "to make bread out of stones". In qualitative terms He will now have to stand more and more severe trials. Apply your efforts towardsYeshua to always see in the background the Tree of Life, not the story. Etz Chaim, the Tree of Life is ZA of the world of Atzilut. Who stands above ZA of the world of Atzilut? Of course, Keter, the crown of Zeir Anpin of the world of Atzilut! This is the power of Yeshua on a scale of the souls during His coming into this world. So who stands at the top of the Tree of Life? Yeshua. ן־תגֹ ף z r ך פs אונw שz ם יz ע{ ל־כ{פ{ יsך וwה־לr צ{ וsיו יw כw אs י מ{ לzתוב כw י כz ה כw טw מs פֹ ל לs ה נwלהים א{ ת z ƒ אw ן־הrאם בz יוw לu ר אr{וי ֹאמ ך׃rלsן ר{גrבrאwב And hij (satan) said unto Him, If you are the Son of Elohim, you fall down, as it is written: for He (Elohim) will command His angels in relation to you and they shall carry you on their hands (on their wings) so you do not hurt your feet on a rock. Look at what you perceive through the Kabbalah! Where now stands Yeshua? He stands on his feet on the floor of the world of Atzilut, meaning on malchut of the world of 104 Atzilut. He is completely in holiness, according to the forces, according to the comprehension. How Satan tempt Him now? Fall down, into the worlds BiYA, as there is the place of angels. And then the angels will carry you on their wings and will not let you fall. Nothing will happen with you. You will not hurt your feet. What in fact does Satan want from Yeshua? If Yeshua falls to the temptation, then He will draw through the left line the giant light of chochmah from the world Atzilut. This is called sin. After all, the legitimate attraction of the glow of chochmah is through the mid line! יך׃r להƒה אw הוs ת יu ה אrתנ{סs תוב ל ֹאw עוד כsשוע{ וuיו יw לu ר אr{וי ֹאמ And told him Yeshua: and moreover it is written, do not tempt HaWaYa”H, your Elohim. You can test man, but Hashem, the Creator? After all, it would mean to try to bribe Hashem that He will do what was not originally put into His desire. To wish that Hashem will do something what man desires, but contradicts the laws of the universe. As the one who says, "I prayed a lot for my ailing father, and he still died. This is why I do not believe in God anymore". Or the one who says: "I am willing to believe, but first let Him give me a million euros as a reward". This is whishful thinking, where a person projects his desires as reality. And in this way he, so to speak, tempts the Creator. Why is it prohibited to tempt HaShem? HaShem set up His creation so that the light chochmah should not and cannot easily enter into the worlds of Briyah, Yetzirah, Asiyah. That is not the plan of the Creator. That is why Yeshua answered Satan that he cannot do that. You need to do the same: try to look at reality with the same point of view that you study from the Higher system of control of the universe, and not wishful thinking, indulging in this way, in your own uncorrected desires. So do not believe that through the study of Kabbalah, you can get all sorts of material things of this world, that you wish to receive, by saying to yourself: Now, I will raise the MaN and whatever I desire will happen right away.” You don’t understand what you are saying! Maybe that which you want, is actually bad for you, but in your eyes it seems good to you. And this is why you do not get it, because you want to get your desires without trials, without work to bring yourself into compliance with the higher operational system of the Universe. All that we learn here, you must connect that with what you study in the teachings of the Kabbalah. Know that Yeshua, who is currently among us, is listening to every word uttered by me. I just open my mouth, nothing more. And then, out of my mouth jump out the words, sounds, as if I am present at the supper with Yeshua. And you do the same! Do not try to understand things with your mind, to make sense logically, with your intelligence. All this you have to absorb within yourself in the background of what you already know from the Kabbalah. You know that the purpose of Creation is to give enjoyment to the creation. How does this happen to you? Transform your desire to receive into the desire to give, and everything will come to you, without any problem. Trials will then be felt soft and pleasant, and gradually, you will begin to perceive them not as tests, but as the pain of love, that turns into a pleasure of love. It does not matter anymore whether you are in the right or the left line. The Creator wants you to be entered into relationship with Him, to experience Him. 105 8. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION בוד‹ ן׃Š כות ת~ ב~ ל וכŠמלŠ ••רא~ הו א} ת־כ‹ל מŠ מא• ד •ויŠ •ו•יוס} ף ה• ש‹ ט‹ ן ו•י† ש‹ א~ הו א} ל־ה• ר ג‹ב• ה And the Satan continued to test Him and raised him up unto a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms lower land (this world with all their attributes of strength and power) and their glory. What we are learning in the Teaching of the Higher Keter helps. On one hand because you are studying Kabbalah, and on the other hand because of the power coming as a result of this from the ruach hakodesh, from the Holy spirit. We have briefly touched upon the aspect of the miraculous birth of Yeshua. I have already said that I do not prepare for these lessons in advance - everything comes to me during a lesson. The meaning of this is that we all receive from the living HaVaYaH through Yeshua alive! Remember when He said to His disciples: "Do not worry beforehand about what to say when you will be oppressed." And we always, only talk about what happens within a single person. In other words, what Yeshua says: when klipot will harass you, the right words will on their own come to you from above and you will know what to say - what and how to answer the klipot. To reply according to the forces of course, as saying words by the lips to outside, do not affect klipot! This is why we went over the birth of Yeshua without any special explanations. According to Kabbalah, for the birth these three are required, three subjects: the father, mother and ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit. Hashem brings the soul into the child. Father is "the white" (part of the brain), and mother is red (meat). I previously said that it is impossible for man to understand, but for Hashem nothing is impossible. Not primitive, meaning that "Hashem can do anything". But at the very moment when you feel oppression from klipot or you do not understand, do not feel your study, then comes the moment to raise MaN, without expecting that an answer - in our case the explanation will come immediately. You need to have patience. Now I'll try to explain this spiritual phenomenon to you, so you will know how it takes place. Now it is revealed to me. For a long time I could not understand it and had often laughed at His birth from a "virgin." No one understands this, including each and every Christian. Do not try to reflect on this. The long-term study of the Kabbalah, for days and nights, brings of course the required training for adequate perception of the spiritual. However, such revelation should happen by itself! Not in a way that you strain your brain, by reasoning logically: this way and that… but it just happens. This critical moment comes by itself. Revelation of the greatness of the Creator, His higher intellect, the secrets of the creation - it always comes in simplicity and to the one who is "pover of mind!" One day I was sitting at the breakfast table with my wife, and she murmured something about Yeshua. It came from above and she got it first, because she is Nukvah. I did not hear it myself, but fixated it in me, and suddenly, in an instant, saw the striking picture of 106 the phenomenon, which for decades I could not comprehend. A few days later it happened to me again, I felt the vibration of the spirit and understood that I was now ready to tell this to my students. Until now, it was still too early, it was not yet time, and now, as they say, the time has come. You cannot force this, cannot cause this by your desire. You need a special setting. Does it not work today - well its fine, let's wait for the right time to come. So, now I can talk about the miraculous birth of Yeshua. How do we relate Him to sefirot? How to find Him a place among the sefirot on the Tree of Life? It's time to talk about it; I am now allowed to do so. In the verse which speaks of the birth of Yeshua our Liberator, it is told of Miriam, His mother: "And before her husband, Joseph, went into her, that is before he came into physical contact - she conceived by the Ruach hakodesh, the Holy Spirit". Now listen as a child, as if you never heard anything about it before and know absolutely nothing because this is the case in reality. Always pay attention to the purely spiritual meaning and relate it only to sefirot. Who in the spiritual are considered to be the parents of man, of his soul? Parents of the human soul are ZA and Nukvah. And their parents are Abba and Ima. For us, Abba and Ima are grandpa and grandma. We've learned that ZA and Nukvah cannot make a zivug in their place because of the proximity to klipot. In addition, to be born, a person needs to get the neshamah, the soul. Man is different from other creatures in that he has a neshamah, the divine soul. Who brings into him this divine soul? Abba and Ima. We also learned that when ZoN raise to the level of Abba ve Ima, ZA dresses Abba and Nukvah dresses Ima. In other words, through ZA comes the glow of Abba, and through Nukvah passes the glow Ima. At this level, they can make a zivug and give birth to a man's soul, but not on their own level. First they have to climb up and then go down to their own place. Let's examine this closely, more attentively to the kinds of types of rising. You can go up without any light - when you thin your aviyut, you decrease your desire. The desire of the fourth stage rises to Keter, the zero stage. The weakening of Aviyut to zero stage takes place. This is one way to rise up. You make yourself smaller, thinner and more transparent in order to come into compliance with the All High, and there at the top you get the light and bring it down. But when we talk about the rise of ZoN, it is called the rise of the level. In this case, when we say that ZoN rises to Abba and Ima, we do not mean that they are reducing themselves, but that they come up, get illuminated to the level of Abba and Ima and clothe into them. And this is in regards to the reception of light. Do not confuse these two types of rising! When ZoN rises to Abba ve Ima, they receive the light of neshamah. This is the first gadlut - do you still remember? And now they come into zivug and generate a soul of man. The next step, which includes the soul - is the place of ZoN of the world Atzilut. Then the soul descends into our world during the birth of a child. This is how normally the 107 childbirth takes place. There is an even higher rise, rather than only to Abba v’Ima and this happens, among other things, during Shavuot. In Zohar we have learned a lot about the spiritual condition of Shavuot. It is the celebration of receiving the Torah, and in the general aspect a state of gmar tikkun. The rise, obtaining higher levels, starts from Passover. From the second day of Passover we begin to count down the 49 steps from sfirah of malchut to chesed (each has their own private seven sefirot). On the fiftieth day, the eve of Shavuot, one receives GaR. From the second day of Passover begins Sefirat ha-omer, from that moment begins the countdown of 49 Sefirot. By Shavuot ZA rises to Abba-ve-Ima and gets nine sefirot. Take it as it is. Later, in the right place, I will explain the details. ZA gets nine sefirot without keter, and on the eve of Shavuot receives keter. How does this happen? I have already told you that ZA gets keter from binah. But from whom does keter descend onto ZA? Not from Binah herself, but from Arich Anpin, which is a step above. Of course, he (Keter) is passed through Abba v’Ima, because just above Zeir Anpin are Abba ve Ima. The structure of the Tree of Life does not change, regardless of how the rise takes place. Above ZA there is always Abba v’Ima. And above Abba v’Ima is Arich Anpin. The eve of Shavuot is the beginning of the fiftieth day from the second day of Passover. This evening ZA rises to Arich Anpin. This is his highest state in six thousand years of the creation. And, although he then falls, it is his ultimate, perfect condition when ZA comes to Arich Anpin. And the ultimate, perfect condition of nukvah is when she comes to Abba v’Ima. Arich Anpin becomes like the partzuf of A"B, Abba and Ima as Sa"G. On the eve of Shavuot, ZA rises in this way to Arich Anpin. And so, from the Arich Anpin he gets keter, the tenth sefirah. And with keter ZA receives such a huge mochin that they pass through the entire yesod of ZA. Mochin is light, but you can also call it the seed of the higher. ZA gets his keter, the power of Yeshua. And, together with kli keter ZA receives light of GaR and brings it down to his yesod. If you got up, then of course you can always come down. So ZA returns to his place and brings all mochin to his yesod. And where was Malchut? She dressed Abba ve Ima, and became like binah. In binah there is no sitra achra. When ZA goes down, malchut descends together with him, and this is why malchut brings down with her the quality of binah to the place of Malchut because there are no disappearances in the spiritual. This is the general background knowledge required clarify the issue of conception of Yeshua. We were taught that Miriam, the mother of Yeshua, conceived from the ruach ha-kodesh. Having keter, and with it mochin of gadlut, ZA returns to his place. While yesod ... now concentrate only on the principle, this is very important, and we will come back to this. The place of yesod of ZA is located... we need to see it in general terms; there is no other way. There is a well-known principle: mi-besari echeze eloka, from my flesh I shall see the Divine. Yesod Abba is longer than Yesod Ima because he is male. Yesod of Abba 108 stretches to yesod of ZA inclusively, that is under the chazeh of ZA. Yesod of Ima only reaches to the chazeh, but not below. ZA gains all the radiance of yesod of Abba - it is natural for him, since yesod of Abba shines in him. Due to the impact of the state of Shavuot, caused by itaruta de-lema - arousal from above - malchut came back from the place where she was located, namely from the level of Ima. And since, as you know, there is no disappearance in the spiritual, she took her the glow of Ima in the form of traces, reshimot. And now, on the eve of Shavuot, this is what happened to Miriam, the mother of Yeshua. It was during that evening that Yeshua was conceived. We count from Shavuot the first seven months and get the date of birth of Yeshua. Special, very distinguished souls, are born seven months later. Why? Just accept it as it is, and then you will learn about it later. Now we know for sure, the birthday of Yeshua. Not some kind of an arbitrary date of the main holiday of pagan Rome, which the Christian religious leaders then "baptized" - for convenience - into the celebration of the birth of Jesus! And what can we say about the different dates of birth of Jesus: december 25th, while the eastern orthodox Jesus was born on January 7th? Well and there is nothing to say about the Jews: as for them Yeshua is not yet in project to be born). What happened then in the higher worlds? I'm not talking about the material, about what happened here on earth. I'm talking about the higher, and when you find out what was going on in the higher, then you will see, you will understand how it was down here. After all, everything has to be in accordance with: as above, so is below. The people of Israel went out of Egypt - it happened above, in the spiritual and so below in the material. So, what happened on the eve of Shavuot, in the same year and in the evening when Yeshua was conceived? Yesod of Zeir Anpin of the world of Atzilut, which has now ten sefirot gave mochin, the seed to nukvah, or in other words: malchut of the world of Atzilut. Inside of Yesod is the glow of Abba, Father. In Nukvah exists that which she took with her from Ima. Malchut in its place, in the world of Atzilut, is contaminated. By what? As we learned in the book of Zohar, there are two points in her. The first is related to binah, and she is pure, because Binah is the pure desire to give. The second point is the point of malchut itself: malchut de malchut. So in her there was a limit, and therefore there is a shortage in her, and from this came all the filth. On this night nukva tied herself with the first point, with binah, with the level of Ima. Ima shines inside of her. And this is why on this night nukvah remains uncontaminated, unblemished. Non-contaminated, unblemished, meaning without the desire to receive for itself, not contaminated from malchut de malchut. Yesod of Zeir Anpin gives his seed into the malchut and this seed comes from ruach hakodesh, from the Holy Spirit. Ruach is translated as spirit, but in addition means the level of light ruach. From who does yesod of ZA receive ruach? Yesod receives it from Abba v’Ima. Level of Abba v’Ima is the light of neshamah. Why is it called Ruach? Because the place of Abba ve Ima is the place of the light of neshamah, but the place of 109 ZoN is the place of the light ruach. There is a principle: When the higher goes down to the lower, he becomes as the lower. That's why it is ruach, for the place to which he corresponds, is the place of ZA. And at the same time he is kodesh, Holy. We learned in Zohar that the level of holiness, it refers to Abba v’Ima. Therefore this ruach is called ruach hakodesh. This is the level of ZA, but it comes from Abba v’Ima, which are included in ZoN. Gradually, we will explore all of this, but for now it is enough. Yesod gives the seed of mochin into nukvah at the time when nukvah is not contaminated, immaculate. This is the Immaculate Conception. Blessed is Hashem! 110 9. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION AND THE BIRTH OF YESHUA (continuation) Malchut is subjected to the tzimtzum, restriction. Any restriction means lack. Any lack causes impurity. Let’s take this world, for example: when a woman is pregnant, there is no state of filth in her, even physically. Her periods stop: there is a rise – as in the case where ZoN are raised to Abba ve Ima, in order to make a zivug and conceive a "child" the next stage. So it is here: during the pregnancy, a woman makes a sort of a rise, and receives from Ima. So now nukvah has the qualities of Ima. And when we talk about a lack in Malchut , we imply that she is not pure. Purity - when there is no pollution - is the desire to give and this is Binah. In malchut there is a space for lack, the place of tzimtzum, and this is called pollution. When this is so, the sitra achra can attach herself to these places. But on the night of Shavuot, when Yeshua was conceived ... On this night, we should study the Torah all night, because during this night comes great zivug. Usually zivug does not happen in the evenings, but on this night there was a zivug by the conception of Yeshua. Therefore it is said: "Do not sleep , but remain awake that night." On this night zivug in the world of Atzilut takes place, and this great zivug can be compared with the state of gmar tikkun , when Zeir Anpin rises to the level of Arich Anpin, and the Nukvah rises to the level of Binah. And so then the ruach hakodesh shines to nukvah. It remains as nukvah, but on this special night of Shavuot, it is likened to binah. This is why in all the generations from the time when the Torah was given, they study all night long during this night... as a great Zivug is taking place in the world of Atzilut. All right? The conception of Yeshua happened exactly on that night, and since it happens in the world of Atzilut, it is called the "Imaculate conception. Nukvah became like binah and received from yesod. Her own property was concealed at that moment. Like a pregnant woman that does not have periods. This is why, as the same thing had to happen here, in our world. This is a special miracle. So was the will from above, to make it happen on the night of Shavuot. On this night the ruach hakodesh came down into yesod of the world Atzilut to malchut of the world Atzilut. The same must happen in our world, exactly same. Usually this happens between a man and a woman: as they connect physically to conceive. But here we are talking about a great condition, when binah... I told you about the radiation of binah before, but it was not just that. On the night when Yeshua was conceived, something incredibly larger than even the most amazing miracle took place. Binah, or AVI, went down into malchut completely. Not only in the form of a glow from a distance, as it happens every year on Shavuot, when malchut ascends to Binah and returns with the glow of binah. This is not the binah herself, but only the glow of binah from a distance. Listen carefully to what I say: binah never descends below the Chaze, but at that point yesod of binah passed through the parsa towards malchut. Now I will explain this briefly, as it is not the time to deepen into the subject. Just know that it is the greatest miracle. Because of this, the seed of ruach hakodesh entered into malchut, into nukvah in a her state of purity. When I say "seed", know that ruach hakodesh is not a seed in the usual 111 sense. As is the case in our world. Of course, by coming down to our world, ruach hakodesh, had to somehow thicken, so the conception could take place. The exact details, I am not interested in, because by knowing how it happened in the spiritual, on the Tree of Life, I just believe that it happened the same way in our world. I have no problem to accept it as a fact as ruled by haShem. If I know how it happened in the world of Atzilut on this special night, then this is enough for me. If you know very well the reason, the consequence will not be for you something unexpected, unknown. If you know what is happening in the spiritual root of the phenomenon, then you know what will happen from it in the branch in our world. Based on the similarity of the root and the branches it becomes clear that Miriam, both the upper Miriam and the lower Miriam, are divine. And when I say Miriam, I mean the power of malchut, which has a connection with the binah. Here on earth is the same thing. There is a Miriam of flesh and blood, but there is also "Miriam" who is spiritually connected with the properties of malchut, filled with the property of Binah. Miriam here on earth, had the same spiritual connection between the two nukvahs. With such a links you can get from both ZA and Abba. From Abba because he is in Ima. And this is the relationship between Yeshua and Miriam. Now you see that Miram is divine - the holy Miriam. Who than is kadosh, the holy? Holy is binah, inside of which is Chochma. When you hear the word "kadosh“, you should know that this is the level, where a person has a relationship with Abba ve Ima. Not only with the lower binah Israel Saba uTvuna, but also with the Abba ve Ima. Now you can see that without Kabbalah and spiritual revelation (revealed with the appropriate knowledge of Kabbalah - the Tree of Life), the miracle of the virgin birth cannot be understood. You are going somewhere and suddenly something comes from heaven ... you get the light of accomplishment. How it be put into words? In a split second I saw the whole picture. I did not need all these words. The words, I need, only to pass it on to those to whom I wish to pass it on. And then I need the words, so you could understand. Then I translate the appearance of this power into the words of our world. By studying Kabbalah, you will notice that the higher you go, the fewer words are needed. One word can be enough. In one word, all will become clear to you. I can only explain so you know how it happens. It does not come in a normal way: not because you apply the effort at a given the moment, not through itaruta de letata – arousal from below! After all, I made an effort much earlier in the course of thousands and thousands of days and nights. And then, at some point, all of the MaN for this previously undisclosed phenomena came together, and when it happened, I was ready to accept it. Application of force was no longer required! It is not that I have said, "I want to understand" - with force, by earthly mind – true attainment never comes this way, but only through humility, only through a sincere request. Let it happen to you! I was convinced in the past that it is possible, and I was sure that this would happen. Why does it say that three days before the holiday of Shavuot , before receiving the Torah, it is necessary to do something special, for example to wash your clothes, to abstain from sex, to avoid anointing yourself with oil, to do some fasting, to make certain corrections? You need to abstain yourself some things. Why ? The fact is, that 112 light cannot enter into you without preparation. A person must create kelim inside of himself. Why is it written "three days" and not, "three days and three nights?" Why does it say that haShem told Moshe that they must prepare for the giving of the Torah for three days? Why is a special preparation required before such an important event as the giving of the Torah? We have been taught that ZA is the day, and Nukvah is the night. Three days of preparation, and every day is with greater intensity. Three days before Shavuot were necessary, so ZA had the time to go up to Arich Anpin, to receive keter. On the first day ZA went up to Binah, to YisSuT, Yisrael Saba uTvunah. On the second day he went to Abba ve Ima. On the third day, on the eve of Shavuot, he rose up to Arich Anpin. It took him three days to reach the highest state – the level of Arich Anpin. And all of this is written in the Torah. Do you see? Look closely and you will see, that enclosed in Torah are both covenants. So the covenant of the spirit is given in the Torah, but only by hidden instructions. Pay attention to what I'm saying about ZA, the birth of Yeshua, it has never been revealed in human history, it's happening for the first time. But why was it not revealed before? First of all, the knowledge of the sefirot, the knowledge of the five partzufim by Ari, was hidden even from the Jews. And all because then the time has not come yet. The fast of Shavuot is directly related to receiving of the Torah. Precisely on the eve of Shavuot Yeshua was conceived. Torah was required as a remedy for the sitra achra. So here, on the night of Shavuot is the same power that manifests itself in the spirit of the liberation from sitra achra, unclean forces. In the Torah, there are already given hidden references to it. What does the holiday of Passover mean? What do the Jews do? They must eat matzah. And now, since there is no Temple, they are forbidden to eat the sacrificial lamb. Previously a lamb was sacrificed in the Temple. That which they do today on Passover, has in fact a relation only to the pleasures of the flesh. They eat meat to receive pleasure. After all, during the holiday’s they are told to eat meat and yes, for the sake of pleasure "to enjoy the holidays!" Some external change happens, but in fact it's all about the flesh. This of course is good, it's preparation for the true liberation that comes with Yeshua. Every year they repeat the same thing: "Mashiach will come... We came out of slavery in Egypt..." - came from one slavery to fall into another! As the whole point is to get out of the servitude of the flesh, to overcome the omnipotence of the flesh. But when it is done in this way... The whole holiday which they received from the Torah, they celebrate according to flesh, while the Torah is not only a covenant for flesh. What does the Torah say? "Fulfill her in the flesh, and from the flesh you will see Me." If you want to see the divine, than you must leave the flesh, and go beyond feeling only your flesh. And this is the covenant of Yeshua. On Shavuot we see how Yeshua was conceived. And when was Yeshua born? I mean on the universal calendar, not the Gregorian chronology. On which Jewish holiday does the birth of Yeshua fall? On Chanukah! But not on the historical festivities on the occasion of the victory of the 113 Hasmoneans, who defeated the Greeks and purified the Temple. The holiday of birth of Yeshua is a covenant not in the flesh, but in the spirit. Of course, everything was necessary, but there is a time for everything. What do the sages of the Torah say? On Gmar Tikun will remain only one holiday - Purim. All other holidays will be gone. They will not be in the flesh! Know that in every holiday, which is given in the Torah, Yeshua is secretly present as the Union by the spirit. The challenge is the need to move from one Covenant to another, where the first Covenant - by the meat, is of course not rejected! This is the route that you have to go through. The Jews have both Covenants. What is a Jew? A Jew is Yisrael in every person. Now you can see that there is a connection between the Jewish holidays and Yeshua. The first night of Chanukah is the night when Yeshua was born, and each subsequent night is the miracle of birth of Yeshua that grows exponentially. Each subsequent addition of a lighted candle symbolizes the addition of light and power. In fact, this renewal of the light is for the lower, renewal for their sake of the forces of creation. Jews found in the Temple only one pitcher in which there was enough oil only for one day. And it was enough for all eight days. But this is the interpretation of a miracle only by the flesh, in the material world as a symbol of the true, future, eternal liberation, and not temporary. After all, that happened after the Hasmoneans, after the victory of Yisrael. A little time passed, twenty or forty years... History does not interest me, as I do not practice it. The history of the Jews, how is it going to help me? Who did it ever help? Nobody! It took some time and Israel was conquered (by the flesh!) by other invaders . While the one who celebrates Chanukah with the right intention through the Covenant by the spirit, will gain the perception of eternal victory. What does he celebrate? He celebrates every victory over himself. How? On the first night you light a candle - it is the birth of Yeshua. Throughout the day, the power will grow. To the extent that kli keter, which is in you, gains power day by day, your liberation is felt more and more. Finally, on the eighth day he was circumcised. These are the eight days of Chanukah. His circumcision means that he has freed himself from the power of the unclean and came to the state of katnut - small state of a "child." On the eighth day he cut himself off by the powers from Satan. In a similar way, over the years the one who wants to obtain the power like of Yeshua, will go through these states and the Covenant by spirit. 114 10. AND EVERY DAY IT IS GOING TO BE HARDER FOR HIM TO SEDUCE ME. ן׃w בודs ל וכu בu כות תsמלs {ל מw ת־כr הו אu{ראs מאֹ ד {ויs {בֹ הw ל־ה{ ר גr הו אu אw שz ן ו{יw טw ף ה{ שrו{יוס And Satan has continued to add on tests and brought Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the lower land (the kingdom of this world with all their attributes of strength and power) and all their glory (their palaces and everything else). י׃zה לrשת{ ‹חוs תz sם־תקֹ ד ו z אz הwננr תs r ך אsל־ז ֹאת לwיו כw לu ר אr{וי ֹאמ And he said to Him: "All this I will give You if You will bow down and will fall in front of me." What does all of this mean? What did he actually show Him? He brought Him up on a very high mountain and showed all the kingdoms of the world, the desire to receive in its entirety. All kinds of desire to receive in their glory and honor. And then he said, "I will give You everything if You bow down in front of me" meaning to give half of yourself: under your chazeh. Then he added: “Fall in front of me " – that is, give me the whole partzuf, all that you have and all that you are. Why did he say that to Yeshua? Why did Satan say these words to Him, and not someone else - on a very high mountain? He says this only to Yeshua: “I will give you all these kingdoms, when You bow down and fall in front of me." Why does he offer this only to Yeshua and not someone else? What was so valuable to Satan in Yeshua, that he was ready to give Him all the kingdoms and all the glory, only for Him to bow down to him? The fact is, that the sitra achra lives only by that which it receives from a person. Do not think that s”a will ask this of a regular person - as the whole world works for him, for the unclean forces. The whole world worships filth and falls face down before the sitra archa. One bends over because he desires money, the other - because he wants power, while the third dreams of being a rabbi, a big rabbi , the greatest rabbi... or longs to be a "spiritual" leader. Did Yeshua want to be a spiritual leader? Did He call himself a spiritual leader ? Did He fund some school or brought some new, His Own system? No. He simply said: "What Hy Father does, I do, nothing else, nothing is mine." HaShem gave Satan full authority over this world. This is a great thing what He did! He thus provided feedback. Satan performs the duties of a servant of HaShem. Be careful! If you can understand this, all naive religious stories about Satan will evaporate. The Creator Himself gave Satan the authority to implement the feedback with Him. Satan has only one mission: to seduce a man - every person, without exception! If a person is tempted, he is no longer an interest of sitra achra. When a man cannot resist the temptation - it means that he kneels in front of Satan, falls 115 face down before the sitra achra. And while he obediently lies seduced by s”a she whispers to him: "Come on, chase after more money” and he will continue to do so, until he is finished - as she sucks out all the sparks of holiness - and he will no longer be of interest to sitra achra. While he will continue to plow for her to disfigure himself without end. Moreover he is of no interest to the Creator either because he is still under the authority of Satan. Know that HaShem does not need such people, He just does not see them! And only when a person overcomes the Sitra Achra , even if it's a small victory, in him wakes up the willpower to work for the sake of the Creator. Now this, the Creator sees. That which is located in the domain of the desire to receive for yourself - the Creator has nothing to do with it. The Creator created the creation, but creation itself is obliged to transform itself into the desire to give. Strong, creative person uses his skills in the material world - and this is nothing to be ashamed of. But he who is greedy and does everything to become richer and richer, causing himself and all others suffering; he cannot resist the temptation and bows to Satan, falls in front of him. Satan says this to Yeshua, because all the people living in this world, to a greater or lesser extent are bribed and corrupted by him. Some less, others more. One says: "For ten thousand euro I will not bow down to you, but for a hundred thousand - I will think about it." Everyone has a price. Ultimately, everyone submits to Satan. Such is our world. Show me one person who would not bow down to Satan. There are none, including, obviously, myself. Suppose someone comes to me and says, “Michael, for the mercy, for the sake of the Kabbalah for the sake of giving to the Creator, I will give you five million pounds, publish please all your books and translate them into all the languages of the world. I will buy you your own island and there, in complete serenity you will be able to delve into the mysteries of the universe and write great books. And if you want, I will add more and we will create a state of Kabbalah." And I, poor Michael, have still so many things to do, I need to work on myself very hard. Do I need to do other things? After all five million pounds... what would I tell him? Currently, to be honest, I do not know. This situation, is of course, hypothetical, imaginary. Because I know for sure: Satan will have a hard time bargaining with me. Harder than three months ago. Six months ago, he had a possibility to tempt me for less, it would be easier for him, but every day his stakes rise, higher and higher. The most important thing, is to say to yourself: "With each passing day it will become harder to seduce me." By who? By the sitra achra, who is inside of you. Do not think that Satan is somewhere outside of you. He is - in you, and you have to defeat him until you will be forever united with Yeshua. The power and strength of Yeshua are such that he is interesting to Satan like no other. What did Satan do? He offered Him the whole world: "For You I will fulfill the desires of the entire world. I will give You everything." Learn from Yeshua and say no to Satan, on your level. Every day, do everything that is in 116 your power to say "no" to the sitra achra, until you come to a state where all your desires to receive for yourself will be corrected. I was asked a question about marital infidelity and sexual perversions in many different forms: is it on the right line or on the left? Neither the right nor the left. There are only klipot… the powers of the Creator. What is the right line? It is the side where you reduce your desire to receive for yourself and lift your desire to Binah. You slim your desire and instead of attributing it to malchut, you attribute it to binah . Than you see in front of yourself only kelim of keter and chochmah, and the two corresponding lights: nefesh and ruach. This is the right line. Here the power of desire is slimed to lights of nefesh and ruach or the kelim of keter and chochmah. In the right line there is always a lack. As there are only two activated kelim, and not five. And where there is a shortage, there klipot always has an option to attach itself. So what does “on the left line” mean? Here we have chochmah without chasadim. In here there is darkness and klipot will suck from here as well. Where there is no chasadim, there is also a lack. On the right chochmah is missing, and there are only two kelim. This is why at the right side the klipot suck from the below: they seduce people towards fornications, adultery or various perversions to attract gadlut - to attract the light to klipot from the right line , pushing for sexual perversions in thoughts, desires and actions. I'm not talking that which person does with his body, arms and legs. Know something that even if such thoughts arise in you - it is also a sin. But when perverted thoughts come to your mind, do not torment yourself. The main thing - is not to let them control you. Because they come to you from the above. Why? To encourage you to correct yourself! There is not a person on earth to whom this would not be familiar. Anyone who says that this does not happen to him, is not yet mature enough to study in the school for adults. Let him go to the synagogue or a church. There people will cheer him up, that he's a good man and will promise to him that he can be even better. In the right line, as we know, there are only two active kelim - keter and chochmah, and therefore there is a shortage. And therefore, the klipot of Yishmael can attach to it. These klipot tried to seduce Israel as his neighbor’s the Moabites after the receiving of the Torah. What was the task of hired Bil'am? To curse the Jews thus to destroy! Bil'am advised moabites: give to them your girls and women, including your wives and daughters!. They will surrender to messing around and will become unable to serve HaShem. Please note: that man loses powers when he falls to the lure of klipot from the right and from the left. Otherwise a person would live forever, and would get everything he wants, and would have been happy not knowing suffering and disease. And this is the temptation from the right side. And this is consistent with what we have learned about klipot from the right side. What is it exactly? The male property of klipah, her ZA, persuades you to stay away from the right line. What does it say? "You are allowed, you are - Don Juan (or Don Juanina) and you can get any woman (or any man). This is the male klipah and she wants to hold you, mainly through the sexual sphere, hitting the place of your Yesod ... Theft - is also 117 from the klipah of the right side: the thoughts of adultery and theft belong to the same line. And this is why, one of the properties of Yishmael, is predisposition to theft. And to the left line can adjoin the klipah of Esav (Esau). He incites murder in various forms. Do not think that murder is committed only by the sword or other external weapons. This is - a condition where one person kills another by his thoughts and desires. Anger , hostility , threats , etc. - they all come from the left , ie , adjacent to the left line. These klipot induce the person to pull down the light of chochmah through the left line, from the place above chazeh – to the place under chazeh. For the giving kelim this is not a problem, but under the chazeh there is the place where klipot can attach themselves. Therefore, they entice us from below so a man could pull the light to underneath the chazeh through the left line, as low as possible. Light is located above the chazeh, and it is forbidden to attract chochmah under the chazeh without chasadim, because then everything goes to klipot. Chochmah can only be drawn through the midline. This is – chochmah without rosh, without GAR. But when chochmah is clothed in chasadim, you're allowed to pull her to yourself. As chasadim creates protection against klipot. Is this clear? And when there is chasadim, but there is no chochmah, there is also a shortage. On the right side under the chazeh, klipot can also adjoin. They want to seduce you to pull chasadim under chazeh for yourself. When a person is seduced, chasadim GaR of Binah reach sfirah hod. After all, the highest binah reaches to hod but no further, as her property is chasadim and she pushes chochmah away. While the place onder hod is opposite him in properties: there is chochmah but no chasadim. Therefore, by reaching the places below hod chasadim of binah immediately leave this place under chazeh - and these are very powerful chasadim. When they are drawn from binah underneath hod, they somewhat short circuit and evaporate. Meanwhile the klipot receive their instantaneous glow. Therefore, he who sins with sexual excess succumbs to the temptation of klipot adjacent to the right line. By furtively doing a zivug to get instant pleasure, comes the abominable feeling of disgust. 11. ONLY IN HERE AND NOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DEFEAT THE FILTHY 118 ONE At the end of the previous lesson, I said that I do not know what I would do when faced with strong temptation. And no one knows. Someone said that if a person is perfect, in the gmar tikun, he will know. But it is not so. Remember, there is only here and now, and do not think that tomorrow you can stand up to it. It is written: "The righteous must not rely on his righteousness at the time of suffering." Do not say that you have enough reserves of righteousness that you will have plenty when suffering comes along. Why? When suffering comes, the klipot attack you, and at that point you have to face them. Do not think: Yesterday I was able to resist - this is my merit, now I can fend for myself, according to yesterday. Each situation is a 50/50, and in every situation you must choose the side of good. G’d created us so that we always have to make choices. This is a great thing! Let every day throw you a challenge. Every day, every moment, you must choose. Every day the Sitra Achra tells you - even if you are an advanced Kabbalist that can endure a lot... she says: "No one can see you here: steal, rape!“ No one is exempt from this, neither the Pope nor the Chief Rabbi of Israel or the Patriarch of All Russia – nobody! And even in the state of their individual Gmar Tikun. The one who achieved his Gmar Tikun and corrected all of his evil, he can certainly handle it. After all, he makes every moment into a moment of perfection. We still have to fight. In every moment we have to choose between this and the other. When you approach your Gmar Tikun, you will not act any different. And when you reach it, you will learn that in every moment, even before that - before you Gmar Tikun – the love and connection with HaShem was present. But during Gmar Tikun you will feel love inside of yourself and the struggle as such will be gone, because you will have fully built and placed all masachim – the anti-sin defense system, and they are guarding you now. Your own evil will be corrected and you will see the unity and perfection of the world. Inside of yourself with your whole being you will feel this wholeness of the creation. And only a small fraction - 32 desires of the Stone Heart - will be corrected only during the overall Gmar Tikun. And they will hang at the bottom of man, in the compartment of Klipot under his spiritual partzuf, as the earthly ashes, because there remain these 32 sparks of holiness that he can’t correct himself – as that will happen in the general gmar tiekoen – and that is why this place will not bother him anymore! Now he will endure with love. No, endure is not the correct word. He now has the power not to sin. When he sees something in his eyes and feels attracted to it - of course, this desire does not lose its effect. A person can get seductive impulses even through his gaze. Alas here nothing can be done. In the Middle Ages, people poked their eyes out, naively believing that if they cannot see it with their eyes, than the temptation will leave them and then they can freely contemplate spiritual. But then the sitra achra creates for him even more vivid images of women or desired objects, even more so than for those that sees with his eyes. And so the one who reached his personal gmar tikun has the strength to endure it all with love. His inner strength is so great that there are no unbearable temptations for him. There are only traces of sensations from the temptations for him to remain vigilant, to know that perfection has no limits. When a man reaches his gmar tikkun, he can continue to live, to make corrections for others. He may be ill, weakened, he can feel bad ... But as soon as you start to think, to fix your attention on what the sitra achra offers to you, know that she has seduced you by her powers. And if you accept this thought, and bring into the body, and then into Yesod, then it already becomes a real sin. 119 We learned that Yeshua did not kneel before Satan. In the Torah it says that wanting something that the other has is already a sin - without even touching, but only through the unclean gaze. Desire is in the heart, and when you open your heart to temptation... when it is only in the head, in the zero phase, it is still in thin form of thought, you did not let it enter inside, the desire is not dressed in the body. But when it enters into your heart, as you did not pay attention to it, then you have to overcome it and that requires effort. Every time you let into your heart the desire, in which there is no need - just a desire to receive – you get on your knees in front of the sitra achra. It pollutes your heart. You already gave part of your life to the villain, to the old and foolish king, the eunuch, as he is called in the Zohar – as he in fact does not have his own powers. Do not think that Yeshua spoke to Satan aloud, as if Satan stood against him. All that occure with Yeshua, was only within Himself! He felt the nine lower sefirot of kli keter. He received nine lower sefirot of keter and connected them with his keter, with keter de keter. That was His temptation. Of course, the presence of Satan for Him was only potential. After all the nine lower sefirot of Yeshua are just an inclusion of the nine lower sefirot of the whole general partzuf of the sefirah keter. And as the nine lower sefirot remain the desire to give, as the whole Keter is the pure form of giving, Yeshua had to deal with these powers that wanted to tempt Him. In other words, Yeshua was tempted by a more subtle form of Satan, the top of the sitra achra. ב• דו ת• ע”ב• ד׃Š אותו לŠשת• ”חו}ה וŠ •וי •אמ} ר א~ ל‹יו י~שו •ע סור †ממ} נ† י ה• ש‹ ט‹ ן כ† י כ‹תוב ל•יהו‹ה ̃אלה} יך †ת And told to him Yeshua: Move away from me Satan, as it is written: only to HaVaYaH your Elokim bow down and only serve Him. Only for Him you must do spiritual work. What did Yeshua do- it is a hint to us: as soon as you feel tempted, raise MaN and look at HaShem. As it is written: "only for the sake of HaShem" – ein od milvado, there is no one else but Him. Only worship Him alone, no one else. Let this into your mind and into your feelings. ש‹ ר” תוהו׃Š א‹ כ† ים ו•יŠ שו א~ ל‹יו מ• לŠ ה† נ~ה נ† גŠו•י† }רף †ממ} נו ה• ש‹ ט‹ ן ו And Satan left Him, and so came close to Him angels and served Him. Every time you overcome Satan, you will feel, their gentle support. To your aid will come all the powers of the Universe. Do not forget that everything that we learn here, you must put into practice. Do not think that HaShem created the theory, science, God forbid. He created only practice - all that you learn, you must apply in practice. 12. THE TIME ABOVE AND THE TIME BELOW We may have a logical question: why Ari himself, and then Yehuda Ashlag, did not tell 120 us in plain language that Yeshua is the Liberator, Mashiach? Why was I the first to say it through Kabbalah, to pull this secret into this world? This is not a very simple question and it is not easy to give an answer. Of course, both Ari and Yehuda Ashlag were perfectly aware of this, and after them nobody knew. But why they did not disclose this in clear text? By the way, ‘my’ great comprehension of the phenomenon of Immaculate Conception , the entire mechanism and dynamics of the interaction of forces of the universe in a state of Shavuot I took, in general, from my great teacher Ari in his book Shaar haKavanot in the section on Shavuot. So it did not come out of the thin air to me. Anyone who wishes can find it there by himself! And I just tied the divine comprehension of Ari with the phenomenon of Yeshua. It turns out that Ari speaks of the Tree of Life in the structure of worlds, while I brought this on a scale of souls, which in principle are completely similar to one another. Now the time has come. We are told that Yeshua descended into this world with the Covenant by Spirit, but that does not mean that humanity was ready to accept it. “The table has been set, but there were no guests”, as Yeshua told us in his parable. The same thing was seen by Ari and Yehuda Ashlag. As Ari did not allow his special disciple Rabbi Chaim Vital to publish Etz Chaim… other things yes, but Etz Chaim was not permitted. Why not? Was Ari afraid of someone, or was Yehuda Ashlag? Of course not. But no one was ready for it yet, so it was kept hidden, and he was not allowed to disclose it. The same for Yehuda Ashlag, he hid this topic in a separate part of TES, and everyone skips it. Because there was no one who could disclose it, because it was not the time, other than that which is given through me. Not through Michael Portnaar, a man with that name, but through my soul. There is something in it, which is the reason why I was given this assignment. I have already said many times that Ari whispered to me in spirit to open the Kabbalah to this generation. "But how can you say” - you will object - "that the time to reveal the liberating force of Yeshua came only now and not earlier? After all, Yeshua came to our world 2000 years ago - so then had come the time of His coming and revelation to the world: to the people of Yisrael, and then through them to the rest of the humanity." The fact is that there are always two times: time from above and time from below. Allow me to explain: When the top believe that the time has come to reveal a secret to the world, the creation, then it goes down and is given to the mankind. And so, in this case, there are two possibilities: humanity is ready to receive this revelation or not. If not, than it is a revelation from above that is called a PRESENT (gift), because mankind cannot appreciate these higher comprehensions in order to use them accordingly. And therefore they receive such a gift and... strictly speaking, do not know what to do with it, how to handle it so it helps. It's like it was in the event of the Presenting of the Torah to the Jewish nation: from above it has already been given to the people of Israel, but from below they were not ready to receive it inside of themselves. Moreover, since then they are playing with the Torah, as a child does who is not aware of 121 the properties and the intended purpose of the toy that is given to him. It was the same with the coming of Yeshua in our world 2000 years ago: the Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven is a gift from above, because the Father has sent His Son to spiritually, once and for all, rescue His people from the prison of unclean forces. Instead, the people chosen by the Creator, made Him a laughingstock and gave Him to be killed into the hands of the unclean forces themselves, as they did not know the purpose of this Gift - as their time has not yet come. But we know that nothing comes from above, that was not requested from below. This is correct! But there are special structural disclosures to humanity from above, for which there is no request required from below. After all, the idea of creation is to bring it to full perfection. The Creator is perfect and His creations are perfect. And then, at such moments, the excitement, the awakening comes from above, to give a jolt to humanity to further progress towards its cherished goal. Such awakening from the above, was the appearance of Yeshua into our world: back then, 2000 years ago, as the TIME ABOVE HAS COME! And the fact that His people then (and after) did not accept Him, is related to the time of the lower. They were not yet mature in their awareness of what had come from above. (And the Jesus Christ, which was accepted by the Christians, is just a product of somewhat vague religious beliefs about Him, which does not mean that, for them, Christians, the time from below had come.) . As said the great prophet Isaiah (Yeshayahu 21:12) : שֻ בו א~ ת‹ יו, ע‹יוŠ ע‹יון בŠ ל‹ה; †אם †תבŠ ג•ם ל‹יŠ א‹ ת‹ ה ב• ק} ר ו,א‹ מ• ר ש• מ~ ר Guard (HaShem) responds: “Came the morning and (it was) still the night. If you earnestly ask, than request and come.” א‹ ת‹ ה ב• ק} רcame the morning: it was the time for spiritual awakening. ל‹הŠ ג•ם ל‹יŠ וand (it was) still the night: and below is still asleep. They still cannot wake up from the material representations of the commandments by hands and feet. In other words, the alarm clock rang, the sleeper hit it with his fist and continues to sleep. That's also the case with the disclosure phenomenon Yeshua to the people, to the person of our world, with his natural desire to receive only for himself. He continued to sleep until our time. And now came the time below to AWAKEN from the deep material sleep towards the, "morning”, towards the spiritual, towards the truth, to perfection. Of course, in every generation there were individuals for whom time to awaken from below, came earlier. There were those who immediately responded to signals from the above and for them the time from bellow coincided with the time from above... and so, they got up as they heard the alarm. A few others, after hearing the call, first shifted, snoozed, but then , after all, got up... 122 But why is the awakening towards to spiritual, stretching out so painfully for the vast majority of humanity? After all, what does it take for the Creator to immediately, in one fell swoop, give the person and all of the humanity a chance to understand that it is time to wake up? This is the greatness of the King of kings above all the kings and all sorts of petty potentates of our world. The last issue decrees, directives in the convenient for their (!) time, and their subjects below must execute them flawlessly. And the Creator, ‘melech malachey hamlachim’ King of kings (all) of the kings, He is called ‘rachamim’ Kind-hearted, ‘chanun’ Merciful, ‘erech apaim’ Long-patient… as in the spirituality there is no violence from above. 13. WHAT HEALS THE CONNECTION WITH YESHUA? 123 ריםz w בuי אu כsרח{ ונwu י יuדים ו •מכz uי שuאובים ו{א‹ חוז z s ים ומ{ כzל־ה{ חולw ת כuיו אw לuביאו אwz א {ויwסורי s רץr rל־אwבכs אwצwמעו יs שz sו ם׃u אwרפs zו{י And words about Him went through all the land of Surya, Syria. And they brought unto Him all the sick and in pains, and obsessed (literally: captured by evil spirits), and lunatics and the cripples. And He healed them. About which diseases does it say in here? Firstly, חל‹י† םœ כ‹לŠמעֻנ† ים בŠ • ה- tormented by all kinds of diseases. Secondly, אוב† יםŠ ומ• כ(tormented) by pains. Then, •וא”חוז~י ש~ †דים, possessed by evil spirits, mentally ill - it is the third category. • ו ֻמכ~י י ~‹רח- lunatics, is the fourth. And the fifth - כ~י א~ ב‹ †ריםŠונ, is paralyzed. •‹א~םŠו•י† ר, and He healed them. Five categories, no more. There are five kinds of diseases, since all diseases come from the spiritual, because of differences in the properties with light. All diseases originate only because of the mismatch between properties of the human and the light. Man - is the desire to receive that has five common types of diseases - the five stages of receiving. Yeshua fully coincided with light by the properties, this is why he could defeat all five kinds of ailments in the man. How? Only by reviving in them, “the sick" faith above reason. We see, how He healed. He simply asked, “Would you believe that I can do this? Would you believe that for the Son of man this is possible?” And when the needy man answered Him, “Yes, I do”, than right away he was healed. There are five forms of need, which lead a person to a disease. And this is reflected in the five categories of diseases. When a person believes in Yeshua, it means that he has faith, to raise MAN to Keter of his state, and then he gets from the Supreme Keter light through the individual Keter of his state. And it is well-known principle: the lower level always gets its abundance from the corresponding aspect of the higher level. That is, Keter of the lower receives from the Keter of the higher! Light comes and breaks certain resistance in a person, which is the root and the source of his particular disease caused only by the difference in the properties with the supreme desire of haShem - to give. He, Yeshua, knew the highest laws of the creation, and therefore knew how to correct a particular disease of a person. יו׃wמידz sיו ת{ לw לu שו אs גz ם ו{יw ב שrשuרה {ויw w הw ם {וי{ע{ ל הw עw ת־ה‹מון הrראותו אs zהי כz sו{י And it was when He saw the multitudes of the people, He went up the mountain and sat down there, and came to Him, His disciples. Word ה‹ ה‹ ‹רה, hahara points to two values: har - mountain and a verb with twofold root hirher - to ponder. And so you see in the Torah, that Abraham ascends the mountain: when you are in the contemplation of the spiritual, it feels as if you climb a mountain. Raising in contemplations on the scale of spiritual steps, feels like hiking up a mountain. This is indicated by the gematria of the word 216 ( ה‹ ה‹ ‹רהwith one general part): The name-number רי״וis 3x72 – rising into GaR in the three sfirot binah, chochmah and 124 keter. Moreover, twice the root of the word hirher (hrhr) also points us to the two phases of ascent: a place before chazeh and a place above chazeh. But it seems strange, why after seeing a crowd of people, Yeshua started to ascend up the mountain? After all, wouldn’t it be logical, to approach it by going down? It appear that no – as Yeshua started to rise. As it turns out that there is a crowd of people is below, and Yeshua doesn’t decent to it, but on the contrary He distances Himself from it, and in this case rises! People are the desire to receive for themselves - they only wish to receive from Yeshua, illumination without any individual work on themselves. And this is why Yeshua is distancing Himself away from it, climbs the mountain in thoughts, where He resides with His students. With them He has similarity in properties: since they left their neighbors, all their things, and relatives (read: the kelim of receipt), and followed Him, into the kelim of giving. Pay attention that Yeshua, as He climbed up the mountain, "sat down there. What does this tell us? He sat, He brought Himself into a small state of katnut, so His students could receive from Him. Indeed, the lower level cannot comprehend the head of the higher, and therefore the higher ‘sits down’ so the lower could receive from the body, the 7 lower of the higher. And only after that, His students came up to Him and were able to receive the illumination from His body. 14. FOR WHOM IS HAPPINESS PREPARED? 125 {יורם {וי ֹאמ{ ר׃ u יו וz ת־פr ת{ ח אs פzו{י And He opened His mouth and taught them and said Here begins his teaching - teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven, as the very first stage of the general teaching of liberation: teachings of Kabbalah of the level Kli de Keter. We were taught that Yeshua withstood all the temptations of Satan and everything that Yeshua says - it always happens within a single person. Through His words and deeds, Yeshua showed man in a simple way that he should work by himself, by doing his own individual inner spiritual work. And this fact should be considered constantly... no matter what He is talking about! And despite the fact that in the story everything happens outside of the person in the material world, the whole point is in his inner spiritual work on himself. And by the victories he achieves by his passionate desire for his individual liberation, he will be able to hear Him. ם׃z יw מw כות ה{ שs ם מ{ לrהw י לz רוח{ כwי הu יzרי ע‹נu שs {א Happy are the poor by spirit, as for them is the Kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom of heaven belongs only to those who are poor by spirit - those who make themselves poor from any and all spiritual religions, knowledge, philosophies and other group exercises. What does it mean to make yourself poor by the spirit? In the spiritual, there are five stages. To make yourself poor by the spirit, means to thin your desire to receive, for the sake of the highest, all the way up until the stage 0 – to defeat yourself. “To them belongs the Kingdom of Heaven" - meaning that only to them - to the poor by the spirit the salvation is given. Salvation is received in malchut shamayim that is embedded into Kli Keter of each state. A tzimtzumized malchut is called "poor" - because it has nothing of its own! מו׃w נ•חs ם יu י־הz ים כz לu א‹ בwרי הu שs {א Happy are the mourners, for they will be comforted. "To mourn" - means to empty your Kelim and to make them like a sponge that can then absorb by similarity with the higher. ה‹ ”אב~ ל† יםliterally means those who mourn dead, meaning to mourn the death of someone else. However, Yeshua speaks of those mourners who regret and mourn for their actions and repent. This is indicated by a certain article ‹ה: certain mourners: only those who mourn in order to be worthy of the higher. רץ׃r wירשו אs z ה יw מu י־הz ים כzוw ‹ענwרי הu שs {א Happy are the meek, for they shell inherit the earth (Теhillim 36:11). "Earth" - is Malchut, kingdom. "Meek" - is the one who by correcting his kelim towards giving, enters into his lowest kelim. And he thus allows the light to malchut of tzimtzum Bet, and therefore inherits the earth - malchut. Yeshua speaks only of the spiritual condition of how a person internally becomes happy. By becoming happy internally, he becomes automatically, happy externally! Word א‹ר}ץ, land - from the base of the root resh tzadi - meaning desire. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the desire to give! עו׃wשבs z ם יu י־הz ה כw קw{צדs אים לz uצמs { הsבים וz uרעs wרי הu שs {א Happy are the hungry and those craving righteousness, for they shall be satiated. 126 What could be more important than satiation? Look at the world around us, who is satiated? Someone may have millions, but always wants more. A person can truly become satiated - so Yeshua teaches us - only if he has hunger and thirst for righteousness. "Righteousness” - sense of the midline. Inside, such a person who seeks to match his qualities with the Creator, he will certainly be satiated! How is satiation reached? A person is always bustles, worries, he always hurries somewhere, wants to achieve something. How is it truly possible to achieve righteousness, and with it satiation? After all, satiation also means calmness and serenity. Lets look into the word satiation in the holy language: its base is sin-bet (sin-vet ) is the same as that of the word sheva , seven. As we know, the stem of the words in the holy language are build from consonants: from them the semantically meaningful concepts are built. Words with identical consonants are related. All that a person has to understand – is the 7 lower sefirot of the higher level - and then he shall be satiated! Everything in this language is spiritually informative in order to help the person in his individual work, to bring him in accordance with the higher. What we teach you here is also a part of the Torah. Words of Yeshua, His teaching are the origins of the secret Torah - the Kabbalah. מו׃w ר• חs ם יu י־הz ים כz נw {רח‹מwרי הu שs {א Happy are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Literally: for they shall be mercyfied). There is a principle: midah neged midah, property against property. If a person grows mercy inside of himself, in the same way he will be treated by the higher. Kli and light. Rachamim, the lights of mercy, the light of the mid line does not exist in the person, created as yesh mi ayin- existing from nothing. In the right line is chasadim, mercy. Left is Chochmah which does not shine towards the lower without Chasadim. And between these two is rachamim: the Chasadim inside of which there is a glow of chochmah – the radiance of Zohar. I often get messages with the question: Well, after all, what is charity? And how do you explain it to a man who never experienced it in practice? Midrash has a parable: A butcher decided to slaughter one of his cows. But when he took her to the slaughter house the cow resisted with all its powers. No matter how much they tried to get her to go – they pushed and lured her with food - it was all to no avail. Then an idea struck the butcher: he ran into the stall, and brought out a calf and led him to the slaughter house. The cow immediately followed him. להים׃ z ƒ אw ת־הrזו אƒיחr םu י־הz ב כwבuרי לu wרי בu שs {א Happy are the pure hearted, as they will see Elohim. Look at the word that we traditionally translate as heart, in the singular. But in fact, if this were so, then it should have been written with a single letter bet (vet). Why does this letter double with the meaning two hearts? Yeshua emphasizes that truly happy may only be the ones in whom both sides of the heart are clean, those who work on themselves in 127 two lines. In addition: two hearts are two origins of man: good and evil, and both needed to be cleaned. And only those who work the same in the two lines, on their good and evil, those will see Elohim because without working in the left line it is impossible to see anything in the spiritual, as it is impossible to draw the glow of chochmah! But why doesn’t Yeshua say that they will see HaVaYa’H? "Vision" – occurs only due to the glow of chochmah, and chochmah comes from the left line. Also, if you cleared, corrected yourself up to yesod, then you can raise or chozer up to chochmah of the straight light, which is called the ‘eyes’ and thus receive the glow of chochmah inside of yourself. But doesn’t chochmah mean the light of HaVaYa’H? The fact is that anyone with a pure heart, he cleared, corrected himself only up to tiferet, and not to yesod and has only Va”K Kelim – ChaBa”D ChaGa”T with the lights of nefesh and ruach. Because light cannot be obtained otherwise than through the head, ChaBa”D and through it, the light goes to ChaGa”T, where T – is Tiferet, the heart. I.e. the light in this case reaches only the heart and does not fall into the kelim NeHiY"M. And this small state is the state of katnut, state of vision of Elohim. Then he sees the Creator in His property of severity of the law. This the state that Yeshua describes in here. ם׃rהwרא לu w קzלהים י z ƒי אuי־בנ s z לום כw י שuדפs ֹרי רu שs {א Happy are those chasing after shalom, as they will be called the sons of Elohim. Shalom - is the yesod in the midline. Those who chase after it, strive towards it, are already, so to speak, on the way to it and are already able to raise Ma”N up to chochmah of the straight light, and thus obtain the glow of chochmah. And this is why Yeshua says that they will be called the sons of Elohim: i.e. a subsequent step, an offspring of the name Elohim. And these are kelim NeHiY”M, which can now receive the light of GaR, and with it the glow in the name of HaVaYa’H. 15. FOR WHOM IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN MEANT? 128 ם׃z יw מw כות ה{ שs ם מ{ לrהw י לz ה כw קwצדs { ל{ל הsבגz יםz פwרדs zרי ה{ נu שs {א Happy are those, who are persecuted for righteousness, as for them is the Kingdom of Heaven. ד‹ק‹הŠצ, righteousness - is Yesod in the midline ( ie, the property, which is perceived through the correction of yesod ) . And who are "those who are persecuted?" Everything that Yeshua speaks of is inside of one person. Who pursues the person inside of him? Sitra Achra, the unholy powers. Yeshua does not tell us about the people of the world, Romans, Greeks, good-natured and villains in different bodies. He never complained about the atrocities of the Romans (and even Pilates himself!), because the concepts of nation, group, and the other person (including the nearest and the dearest!) - all these things are outside of man and reflect the struggle within a person only indirectly – a derivative from what happens inside of ONE person. All the turmoil, all the troubles and persecutions - all of them are due to the internal uncorrected state of each SEPARATE individual. If the destruction, troubles come from the outside, you must know, that it is caused by the uncorrected state inside of a person. ד‹ק‹הŠצ, righteousness – comes from the word tzaddik and it is yesod, the letter tzadi, is 90 numerically. Beginning from the second Tzimtzum, there is no more perception of malchut, and Ateret Yesod is used instead, which is a female component of yesod. Persecuted for righteousness, means to be pursued by the unclean forces. And so "the righteous man" withstands the onslaught of temptation of klipot and thus raises MaN from Ateret Yesod to Keter. While the light of malchut shamaim, of the Kingdom of Heaven – malchut combined with the highest step - dresses into his keter. "Happy are those ..." who are attracted towards Me, who draw strength from Me”. This is how He addresses His disciples and us as well, as we are His disciples. Look at these things so: all of us are students of all stages of the Liberator. Students of the Highest Keter – Yeshua, disciples of Moshe, disciples of Shimon bar Yochai and disciples of Ari... as all these, are successive stages of "arrival" of Mashiach inside of you. But we can rightly say, that we have One teacher. As it indeed amounts to the same thing: lowering of the one and only Teaching of Deliverance from the top down. You can say that we have one teacher - Yeshua. For me personally it is the same: if I say that Yeshua is my teacher or, for example, Shimon Bar Yochai . The most potent, powerful effect manifests itself in my Kelim through the component of Mashiach Ari, but it is only the result of feeling of the lowest, the roughest kli of yesod. As this exact level is worked out through the books of Ari! And if I'm talking about keter, the teachings of Yeshua about the Kingdom of Heaven, then you work out the most subtle and weak kli of keter ... no more and no less, and the rest is, as it is remains, untapped. Of course, everything else is impacted by the correction of kli keter through the Teaching of Brit Chadashah, but only at the lowest level of Keter. As it does not matter what level of kelim I work through, for they all are connected. For example, during the study of Ari we go deeper than the rest (before the arrival of the Mashiach), as you attract the light of Yeshua deeper into your Kelim, until finally, the 129 glow of Yeshua comes into Yesod, passing through all the stages of your kelim. It is perceived differently, since the place of perception of one or another stage of the Teaching defines the feeling of it. And in Ari it is the deepest, granting the most powerful light. While, during the study of the Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven, you purify yourself up to Keter and stay there, and the remaining sections of your Kelim receive only the indirect glow of that level. So the whole point is not to be only in kli keter, but to pull the light down into your roughest kelim with the remaining sections of the Teaching of Deliverance. Got that? As by correcting the kli de keter you attract only light nefesh, in other words, liberation comes only in your weakest kli, keter! Nevertheless, the impact of the Teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven on the study and all other parts of the Teaching of Deliverance, is paramount! When you work through the Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven, you will see Zohar with different eyes! You will connect the power of Yeshua with the other forces and it will give the greatest form of synergy, fusing together all your powers. ‹בורי z רע ב{ עw - לw ר כr קrבשs םrיכuברו ‹עלs דz sם וrתכs rדפו אs רw s ר‹ פו וw חs י יzם כrריכu שs {א: Happy are you when they insult you and pursue you and will talk about you in lies all the bad because of Me! Here it is clear to us whom Yeshua meant by “those who insults, pursues, etc." An interesting fact is that while the person has not connected his life with the power of Yeshua , that in him there is no inner feeling that he is being internally "insulted, persecuted ..." etc. All these negative effects he only applies to the world around him. And only after a person make Yeshua his teacher, in him awaken all these internal "enemies." As Klipot feed on holiness (when a man allows them to seduce him!) And now it is "they" all the Klipot that are in you and they want to cut you off from your connection with Yeshua. When this connection is strong, then they have no power over you and cannot feed from the holiness that you attract. But as soon as you weaken your spirit and allow klipot to seduce you, then you breake off your liberating relationship with Yeshua. Got it? ... And not some childish, naive faith in Jesus Christ, when they ask this naive, simple, trusting and inexperienced person: do you believe in Jesus? And if that “know-nothing” answers "yes” than he gets a reply from the same professional, religious “know-nothing”: "Then all your sins are forgiven!" And it turns out to be the other way around, it is because of your faith in the power of Yeshua, that is in you, that "they", the un-clean forces will insult you, persecute you and speak about you (in your feelings!) falsely, ”all the bad “ ...”because of-Me”! And if you do that which the body (and the group!) loves, then you do not thin yourself up until keter and remain inside the klipot with all your kelim of receiving. And then klipot have no interest in you: for they have nothing to eat from you. Anyone who falls down before sitra achra, she does not despise, does not insult, does not 130 pursue, because he is already under control of the un-clean forces and sitra achra has nothing to take from him. One falls down before the money, the other before redundant bodily pleasures like sex, food, drinking, tobacco, drugs, etc. Yet another longs to be called Rabbi. All these are different manifestations of falling face down before the sitra achra. Why is this so kabbalistically speaking? Which sfirot can sitra achra affect? Only those kelim that relate to creation, i.e. having 4 stages of aviyut – these are the ones that sitra achra chases. Of course, the kli, that is higher and closer to the light, it is the most desirable for sitra achra. Kli keter, a place, where the light of the Creator is hidden, a place, into which dresses malchut shamayim, the Kingdom of Heaven of the highest level – since malchut of the higher level always dresses into the keter of the conjugate lower level – in there, always exists the light of the higher level ... And so sitra achra has a passionate desire to obtain some of that light for itself. You shouldn’t assume that the unclean powers can rise up this high by themselves. No, they always remain down below, but to illegally attract the light, they must use a person, as they try to seduce him by any means. And then the man himself - consciously or unconsciously - becomes a partner, yes ... and even works for the sitra achra. And she uses him, because she, the sitra achra, is always inside, at the bottom of the man, in his perception of the "bottom" within himself. She convinces a person by creating, in him, an idea, a feeling that she may be at the top, but it is only a mirage of the uncorrected state of the person himself. And the more intensively a person sins, the more and higher sitra achra can raise its power of influence over him, by taking away his illegally attracted light. And so, unlike the childish religious beliefs (with all their "saints", icons, crosses, relics and other utensils), in fact, it turns out that: the more spiritual a person becomes, the more delicate becomes the sitra achra in him. Imagine that a man that is intensively spiritually working on himself ... and suddenly stumbles upon temptation – and this will bring upon him a feeling of a giant fall. But what is this "fall"? Because the sages of Torah teach us that in holiness - in the product of individual spiritual work – there is only a rise? When we talk about the “fall” we do not mean how a person feels (as do in a childish way, naïve, dropouts in the teaching of Kabbalah!), but the "fall" – that is the uncontrolled descent of the light downwards, to the sitra achra, as a result of sin, attracting the light for yourself. At the same time, bear in mind there is a ban on such an attraction of light: a tzimtzum was made on it. I.e., in this case only the product of the point of contact between light and kelim goes down into the uncorrected Kelim of the person (and from it to the attaching klipot) and not the light of holiness itself! In other words, it can be compared to the contact with a source of the electrical current – during a short circuit. Electric current that comes in contact with, say, the pad of the index finger of the human hand , creates only in this place a voltage difference and does not pass further than this place. And the rest of its effect on the entire body – only comes from this momentary contact and the instantaneous current in the fingertip. 131 So during the pull of the light, as a consequence of the act of receiving for yourself, the light from above comes only into the point of contact with the appropriate kli, which is responsible for this act of receiving. But then, it right away elevates back to the source, leaving the man with absolutely no light! And in this instant the point glow comes from him to the klipot. It is this momentary "feeling” that sitra achra hunts for. After all, she knows that she could not get the light of holiness otherwise! And if he - a man of mass-group level of development of the soul - ie he does not work on himself individually, then he, certainly does not draw anything from holiness, no matter whether he sins or not (because even if he does not sin, it is only by accident or by the force of circumstance, such as because of sleep or from the calculation that will get more enjoyment for his own sake, if he does not sin). And so sitra achra does not need him. And for this reason, you can understand what was said: “The evil-doers are living carefree" - their "carefree life" comes from the fact that sitra achra does not hunt them, does not" bite" them as snakes do, does not seduce them... because they are already fully in her under her control ! And only from the moment when a person begins to individually work on himself, is when the sitra achra becomes interested in him. The attacks, as we know, may come from many different sides: either through flattery, abuse, persecution, etc. Remember this thoroughly and never forget it! And therefore, Yeshua tells us: “Happy are you when they will insult you and persecute you, and will talk about you falsely all the-bad, because of Me! “ And the interesting fact is that in this verse for the transmission of meaning of "when", the word is used, which has also has a meaning of "because"! We will now clarify and deepen the spiritual meaning of the incredible force of his verse. Consider now its seemingly straightforward meaning, as we translated it up above. 1) "Happy are you, when they will insult you and persecute you, and will talk about you falsely all the bad because of me! ". In your current state it will not happen to you - because sitra archa has nothing to take from you so far. And so she leaves you alone. 2) "Happy are you, because they will insult you and persecute you, and will talk about you falsely all the bad because of me! ". This in a state when the sitra achra will become interested in you, and that's when she will try to take you. And now we will become clear in respect to the ending of the verse, “because of Me! ... “You, by yourselves, are not the subject of interest of sitra achra, but "because of me” ... – the unclean power will begin to torment you because of Me, for the sake of the possible attraction of light to her from Me! 132 That is the additional warning of Yeshua: When you bind yourself to Me, to the Supreme keter and thin yourself in order to connect with Me ... By rising up to Me, you will take with you the reshimot from the other four lower Kelim. And then you will become the most desirable for sitra achra, because you will not be working to receive for yourself! Beware! Because then the sitra achra will not be able to have power over your 4- lower kelim, ie not be able to receive from them light. And, of course, she will get on all fours and chase you relentlessly! But if so, if "... they-will-insult you and persecute-you, and will talk about you falsely all the bad because of me! “then how can you be called " happy" ? Through Me you will get life ... and all these insults, all the chases that you experience and endure, in order to receive into yourself the true – eternal life. This is why: םrריכu שs { אhappy you are! 16. SO THEY WOULD SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS 133 שמחו וגילו כי שכרכם רב בשמים כי־כן רדפו את־הנביאים אשר היו לפניכם׃Rejoice and be rejoiced, as is great your reward in the Heavens, as also they harassed the prophets who were before you. Prophets and righteous men who, were before the disciples of Yeshua, were relentlessly persecuted by sitra achra and there was no escape from it! Prophets bring into the world only the hope for salvation emanating from the Teachings of Deliverance. One hope, shined to them from afar, as the ‘ohr makif’, but was still not felt inside the kelim themselves. And this is why Yeshua calls to his disciples (and to us!) to rejoice and be rejoiced, for all the persecution by the unclean forces now becomes surmountable. Thus, we see that the first condition for achieving liberation from klipot, is performing the individual work on yourselves. Thereby producing inside of yourself "insults, harassment" of sitra achra. And then, the whole task lies is that for every "insult", and each "persecution," not to succumb to the temptation of the unclean forces, and to withstand her onslaught by being joyful and rejoice: to win! ל כי אם־להשליך חוצה והיה%א־יצלח עוד לכ%אתם מלח הארץ ואם־המלח היה תפל במה ימלח הן ל מרמס לבני אדם׃You are the salt of earth, and if the salt will lose its power, how to make her salty, she already is not good for anything, only to throw away her out to be trampled by men. This is a very subtle dictum of Yeshua, and it is absolutely impossible to understand except through the holy language and Kabbalah, as Yeshua thought and spoke on it (and in Aramaic, as an integral part of the holy language). But what kind of salt is Yeshua talking about? How can we understand His words? Why is the salt - the main characteristic, quality and dignity of the earth? And why, if it loses power, than it becomes not good for anything, except to be thrown out, to be trampled by the people? The fact is that the Hebrew word מלח, that means "salt", has the same numerical value of (81), as the word כונה, kavannah, meaning "intention". Paraphrasing the words of Yeshua in their inner, concealed, semantic meaning, we get "Your strength and difference from all the other-(people) in this world, is that you have the right intention - kavannah" to give-back! "After all, this is the whole power "salt" to GIVE its "saltiness" to the rest of the food, ennobling the latter, making it suitable for acceptance (ingestion)! And if she, "the salt", loses its power - ie loses the intention to bestow! - Than she is already "useless" - that is, leaving only the senseless mechanical actions by "hands and feet" ... And then it turns into execution of some externally imposed "commandments" not "for the sake of the Creator," and "for your own sake." And then salt - "she becomes good for nothing, except only to be thrown out and trampled by men" ... because it will not be good for the person, but only for sitra achra! ר א תסת ׃%שבת על־ההר ל%אתם אורו של־עולם עיר י You are the light of the world. City, that is located on the mountain, will not be concealed. עולם, the world - is the creation, the four stages of creation – that are derived from the base root " 134 עלםELeM ", which means "hidden " Meaning that the light is hidden in the creation, in the world. And "you" are – the light of the world. How could the disciples of Yeshua be the "light of the world"?The one who is inextricably linked with the Supreme Keter, into which the Higher light dresses in, is connected through the keter of each of his states with the Supreme light. The Supreme keter - is the connecting link between the light and the creation. עיר, city – is the world Atzilut, which is called the "city", the spot that is illuminated, full of life, and from there the light descends to the lower worlds BiYA . Meanwhile BiYA – is the ההר, mountain, onto which you rise as a result of your spiritual work. And so Yeshua says:שבת על־ההר%עיר י, «the city located (literally: settled) on the mountain, will not be concealed" - not be darkened, in it there will always be light. So "you", who receive from Me the light that is in Me - get it from the "City", from the world of Atzilut. And this is why, "You are - the light of the world." ם אותו תחת האיפה כי אם־על־המנורה להאיר לכל־אשר בבית׃%גם אין מדליקים נר לשו Also do not light a candle, to put him under the bushel, but on the candlestick, so it shines to all who are in the house. "To shine to all, who are in the house?” And what is "house"? ‘House’ has four walls: the four stages. House - is malchut, that has 4 stages – and the glow of the candle has to be directed there ... namely of the candle, and not light! And this is that from which malchut receives its illumination from yesod, and in it itself there is no glow. "As no-one lights a candle to put it under a bushel, but - on a candlestick": Arousal from above only begins when there is a request from below. So only than the upper step gives from its light only the "glow", which by the brightness is comparable with a candle. Do not place "under a bushel" - in the dark place where there is no waking up towards the light ... there is no MaN towards the highest step. And they put it המנורה, “on a candlestick” - on the seventrunked -candelabrum - the seven lower Sfirot, which raise the MaN and recieve the glow "for all those, who are in the house." ים כן יאר אורכם לפני בני האדם למען יראו מעשיכם הטובים ושבחו את־אביכם שבשמ ׃ Also allow the glow of your light in front of people, so they will see your good deeds and praise your Father in the Heavens. יאר אורכםverbatim this means " will shine your light" בני האדם- people , word for word . "Sons, the children of Adam” - the souls of the worlds BiYA emanating from Malchut of Atzilut. And what makes these creatures "people”, ie individuals, interconnected by invisible threads of unity of the Creator? What property of the soul informs them of that name? (As the body is not defining!) . And we know that the names of individuals, entities are defined by their comprehension. What I understood, I named. Consider the concept “ – בני האדםpeople” rashei tevot, the first letters of these two words are concepts - ב"ה, “ba ", which means "in her"(i.e., in the soul) . Whole sofei tevot, are the final letters of the two words concepts - – י"מin the reverse 135 order indicate the name "mi" on the level of Binah. Combining them together, we get– “in her (in the soul) – binah”. I.e. in the soul of "people" exists illumination of binah, the quality of bestowal. “ – למען יראו מעשיכם הטוביםThat they see your good deeds". Disciples of Yeshua are the first to receive the light through Yeshua from His Father in Heaven. And then transmit this glow to the disciples of Yeshua in the worlds BiYA. And then the glow comes to all thoseבני האדם, who, by seeing "the good deeds" of the disciples of Yeshua, will praise their Father in Heaven. But the" Father in Heaven " – is He not the Father of Yeshua? After all, He dresses only in kli of the Supreme keter? Yes, it is true ... but through Yeshua He becomes the Father, through matching properties, and all the disciples of Yeshua, including each of us.And what are מעשיכם הטובים, your good deeds? It is an act of giving back through which the light is pulled inside of the person. And of course, the lower comprehends only seven lower sfirot of the higher level. This is indicated in the verse by the first word כן, having another meaning of 'so' and the affirmative "yes." And the numeric value of this word is: 70 7 - כןsefirot 10 each. And so now we can read the inner meaning of the phrase: 70 - - כםלפני בני האדם , ( כן יאר אורsfirot ) will shine your light to the people . And then: יראו מעשיכם הטובים- they will see your good deeds will receive the glow of chochmah into chasadim, from your act of giving back. And as a result of what they "see“, אביכם שבשמים- – ושבחו אתwill start to praise your Father in Heaven, because Chochmah (wisdom) illuminates the face of the man. And by receiving the glow from 136 17. I CAME TO FULFILL THE TORAH מ{ לאת׃sאם־לz יz ר כu פw הsאתי ל z wיאים ל ֹא ב z בz sרי ה{ נu בs ת־ד z rתורה או א w { ת־הr ר אu פw הsאתי ל z w י בzל־תד{ מו כ s {א Do not imagine to yourselves, that I came to violate the Torah or the words of the Prophets. I came not to violate, but to fulfill. And now He tells us about Himself... The entire Torah was given to the people of Israel, so they could scrupulously observe it, word for word ... up until the arrival of the Liberator, Yeshua. Starting with Abraham, they had to hold on to the laws of Torah, which were not given to them “openly”, but only through the forefathers. This - the covenant by the meat, and this is why they had to follow it, by the meat, respectively. But even before the arrival of Yeshua, we see that the people had to listen to the voice of the prophets of Israel, who reproached the people and their leaders, in the fact that they understood the Torah and its commandments, only in the literal sense and therefore observed it only by "hands and feet”! As they only saw in it the instructions for material existence! This is where all their strictly outer "sacrifices" come from: bakery products, meats and animal fat, incense etc. The people, along with their leaders, believed that this is what Creator desired from them, instead of the true sacrifice inside of oneself. And therefore, all the prayers of the people Israel and their service to the Creator, were, in fact, no more than the external manifestation of the external man, which is inside of man. "Give us health, give plenty. Protect us from disease and poverty ", etc. requests to fill the needs of the external man "give, give, give ..." - Give us this world and the next! And they had to fulfil the Torah "down to the last letter” only up until the arrival of Yeshua. The entire Torah speaks only of completion and perfection. And this completion and perfection had to grow up until the time for the perfect soul of Yeshua to appear has come. And so, He simply says: "I came to fulfill the Torah! After all, nothing disappears in the spiritual. All laws of the Torah - are the holy laws, they are the laws of the universe and they will not disappear with my arrival. My arrival only brings completion and fulfillment of the Torah." Without Yeshua there would not be the complete fulfillment of the entire Torah and no one would be able to come to the complete fusion with the Creator. As, in the "Torah of Moshe” everything is dual: kosher, non-kosher, meat dairy, a jew – a gentile, allowed – not-allowed, pure - impure, etc. Everything that is written in the Torah - is the path to perfection that points to Yeshua. He fulfilled the Torah, and then, through his self-sacrifice, he elevated the words of the 137 written Torah (which up until His arrival were fulfilled only physically) up into the spiritual. The Torah which was raised into the spiritual, led the human into union with his Creator. And this does not mean that now there is no need to study Torah and to fulfill its commandments. But the glow of the Torah is different now: instead of the duality of Torah in the worlds of BiYA, Yeshua raised the fulfilment of Torah into the world Atzilut and connected (in this way), the human with the Creator. And now it's already the case, that even those who are trying to observe Torah word for word, letter for letter , but without accepting Yeshua , they , of course, are not able to come into the state of unity with the Creator and thereby obtain his salvation . And so, you should know that the entire Torah speaks of Yeshua! All the people of Israel is in fact placed on the altar of self-sacrifice for the sake of one all prevailing plan of the Creator to bring His creation to His cherished goal. After all, the entire people of the Creator reached their apogee, the highest point, with the arrival of the power of the soul of Yeshua and His self-sacrifice. And this is why, He says that He came to fulfill the Torah. And each of the "people of Israel", who associate themselves with this fulfilment of Torah through Yeshua, fulfills the Torah himself! Take, for example, Jerusalem - there are many people there who intensively (and even professionally!) study Torah, but they do not associate themselves with Yeshua. By the meat they draw gigantic powers, by studying themes from the Torah, which give them nothing spiritually and do not bring them towards anything holy. While this is the time that the people of Israël are able to draw and pass on a gigantic light of salvation, by linking themselves with the power of Yeshua that is in them. Instead, they expect that due to their intellectual pursuits of Torah, the completion and perfection will finally come… But it already came into the world! What is simply required: is to open your eyes, accept mercy of the Creator, and not stubbornly hold on to the traditions, as otherwise the heart will remain the "stone", while we need to transform it into the "living". How? Do not give the opportunity to the religiously-intellectual to dominate you, but simply accept Yeshua above knowledge, above any intelligence ... because the whole Torah speaks not of “knowledge ", but of faith in the Creator above knowledge - that is, through Yeshua. When you connect yourself with Yeshua, then the study of Torah makes sense, then its every word comes alive. Conversely, by not accepting Yeshua, you can read the Torah thousands of times, and it will not open to you – it will not help. It's just a waste of time and this this why I feel pity for the wasted effort. This is what Yeshua is saying here ... how I feel it. רrתורה ע{ ד א‹ ש w {מן־הz דw חrרץ ל ֹא ת{ ע‹בֹ ר יוד א{ ח{ ת או־קוץ אr w אw הs ם וz מ{ יwברו ה{ שs { י־י{עzם ע{ ד כrלכw יz ר א‹ נu ן אֹ מu מw י אzכ ק• י{ם ה{ כֹ ל׃sי As truthful speak I to you, that up until will pass the heaven and the earth, not a single “Yud” or line will dissapear from the Torah, up untill everything is fulfilled! י- ( yud) - It is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet , and קוץa dash - is not even a letter. It would seem that Yeshua assures that not even a smallest bit will disappear from the Torah. But there is a deeper meaning to His statement. As it is known, the letters of 138 Torah – are the impressions of restrictions of light, kelim, that represent the blueprint of the Creation. They are applied onto a parchment scroll, i.e. against the background of light. All letters are constructed from these two most primary blocks of the universe, making up the body of the Torah. A קוץ א} ח‹ ד- one dash, the very first one, with which the Creator began to create His world – is called "kutzo shel Jud" - a dash, the tip of the letter Jud. And so this is keter - ה•ש‹מ•י†םheaven. And יוד א• ח• ת- the one smallest letter Jud - is Chochmah, flowing out of this keter, having all four stages of the Creation into itself. And this is - ה‹ א‹ }רץ, the land. Hence it becomes clear to us, that these which seem like the most insignificant, are thinnest kelim: keter and Chochmah, which in fact, are the highest, as this is where highest light will enter during gmar tikun. In addition, in each correction the glow from above comes firstly into the most subtle kelim: keter and chochmah. And that is why it is absolutely impossible without these kelim to reach a state of perfect fulfilment i.e. that the light enters all keliem up to malchoet. And there is the individual and the general aspect. קֻ י•ם ה• כ• לŠ ע•ד א”ש} ר י- until everything will be fulfilled! Look closely: what is ה• כ• ל, everything? ה• כ• לconsists of two components: • ה- indicates nukvah, malchut. While כ•ל- is yesod of zeir anpin, called "kol", numerically - 50 - five sefirot, five chasadim, 10 each. And so this combination – ה• כ• לthe male and female components of the Operational System of the Universe – will come into the state of gmar tikun – complete correction of the Creation. רא לוu w קz טון יwמוהו קw ם {לע‹שות כw דw אwי הuת־בנ s r ד אu יל{מzה וr לu אw ט{ נות הs ות ה{ קsמצz {מן־הz ר א{ ח{ תuפw ר יrאיש א‹ שz wן הuלכw ם׃z יw מw כות ה{ שsבמ{ לs ראu w קzדול יwה גrלזw ןw ד אותu יל{מz ה וr שw ר י{עr ם ו{א‹ שz יw מw כות ה{ שsבמ{ לs This is why the person who will violate one of these small commandments and will teach people to act as he, small he will be called in the Kingdom of Heaven, and the one who will fulfill and teach them, great he will be called in the Kingdom of Heaven. “This is why, the person, who will violate one of these small commandments” – corresponding to one of these thin kelim, which to Torah addresses, namely kelim keter and Chochmah- will be called the smallest, as the one who does not think himself, his aviyut up until kli Chochmah, and then up until kli keter, he will not be able to come into the perception of the Kingdom of Haven, and from His point of view he will be seen from above as the smallest, as a black dot. And the one, that will be able to thin himself up until the kli keter and to feel the Kingdom of Heaven םz יw מw כות ה{ שsבמ{ לs ראu w קzדול יw גgreat he will be called in the Kingdom of Heaven –will feel the highest light and the state of gadlut on himself. 139 18.

"Bigger, than" means also higher, up to the kli Keter. Now Yeshua gradually reveals the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, and relates them to the interpretation of the laws of the Torah, as it was given to Moshe, with the interpretation of the laws of Sofrim, the scribes and Prushim, the Pharisees. The Torah contains in itself all the laws of the universe, but their interpretation by man may be different. Moshe had to make concessions, seeing that the people Yisrael were not ready to accept the true, spiritual interpretation of laws. Not that he adapted the Torah to the people, but for the time being, that is until the arrival of Yeshua, he made some concessions by expressing Torah through the language of material actions "by hands and feet". Because you can legislate the laws, but if people will not accept them, what good can they bring? And with the arrival of Yeshua it became possible to contemplate the laws of the Creator, to feel and live them by the spirit. As the nature of these laws is eternal. And this is why they give the one who follows them, the eternal life. דין׃z יתu בsב הוא לwרצ{ ח ח{ יs z ר יr ח ו{א‹ שwרצs תz ים ל ֹאzראשֹ נwz מ{ ר לƒאr י נz ם כr תsשמ{ עs ‹הל ֹא Did you not hear what was said to the first ones: “Do not kill!” (Shmot 20:13: Dvarim 5:17) and who kills is subject to court of law "First ones" in the words of Yeshua are those to whom the Torah was given on Mount Sinai, where they received covenant by flesh. Here we see the fundamental difference between the laws of the kingdom of heaven (the laws of the spiritual world of Atzilut) and Torah laws applicable to the separated worlds BiYA in the traditional interpretation of the Jews. The root of the word kill is - רצח. And if you switch the last two letters, you will get ח•ץŠר, which means to wash yourself. Now we will clearly understand the deeper meaning of the act of Pontius Pilates, when he uttered: "I am washing my hands!" – I am washing the killing Yeshua off myself, the sin of bringing Him to death does not lie on me! This is, in general sense. 140 But in fact, Yeshua is talking about what happens in one person. When the thoughts and desires of the Sitra Achra, that are in you, will come to you, in order to kill the Spirit of G’d in you and your likeness to the Creator, then wash your hands, make a spiritual act in yourself to bring down the water, chasadim from binah and then the desire of Sitra Achra will be replaced by your desire to give and thereby you will escape the judgement, the feeling of dinim, of the severity of the law. ריןz דs r הs ס{ נsב הוא לw א ח{ יwרקu חיוz w ל־אr ר י ֹאמ{ ר אrדין ו{א‹ שz יתu בsב הוא לwחיו ח{ יz w צֹ ף ע{ ל־אs קz ר יrל־א‹ שwם כrלכw רu י אֹ מzו{א‹ נ יהנֹ ם׃u z ש גuמ •חי{ב אs רא " הואw s קz ל יwבw ר נrו{א‹ ש And I am telling you, that anyone, that gets mad at his brother, will be subject to court of law and the one who call his brother “raka” (useless and empty person), will be subject to Sanhedrin, and the one who will call him dumb, will be subject to the fire of Gehinom! In this verse, Yeshua gives us three successive (sorted by importance) stages of sin, that are in the person, which kill the Spirit of G’d in himself and everything else that is similar to the Creator. 1) חיוz w א- צֹ ף ע{ לs קz ר יr א‹ ש- לwכ, whosoever is angry with his brother. According to the interpretation of the laws of the Torah, given by Moshe, the man who gets angry at his brother inside of himself, does not violate the law of the Torah, as he did not insult his brother to his face and did not slap him. After all, the Torah clearly states: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" There must be a clear fact of bringing harm, to the material, for example objects, utensils or of a physical injury. And Yeshua reveals the law of the Kingdom of Heaven, where even the anger toward your brother is a crime . דיןz יתu בsב הוא לwח{ י, it is subject to (judgment and punishment) "from the court of law" - the local court considering violations of the laws at the level of a civil court: dealing with claim related and penal cases. However, they do not have an authority to deal with crimes which may lean towards the death penalty. In other words, Yeshua explains the power of sin within a man by comparing it with the three "instances of court", that are outside of the person . The first, the easiest stage of transgression, is Bet Din where a person is judged inside of his own dinim, by feeling the rigor of the law - a state where the perception of chasadim, mercy, evaporates from him. And this is a form of judgment passed over him. And this is why ח•י‹ב הוא, he is subjected ב~ית ד†יןŠל, by the house of law: that is, his home, 4 stages are filled with din, the severity of the law, and it feels like a terrible and painful state of punishment. 2) אwרקu חיוz w ל־אr ר י ֹאמ{ ר אrו{א‹ ש, and the one who calls his brother "raka" (“useless , empty man”) - ד †ריןŠ } הŠ ס• נŠח• י‹ב הוא ל, he shall be punished already by Sanhedrin - the highest court of the people Yisrael . Here he does not just get angry at his brother internally, but he realizes his anger outward, by calling his brother raka. This is already an insult, which according to the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven already, has the power to kill! "But how is this possible? The reader 141 will object as he did not kill him, he did not kill! He didn’t even lay a finger on him!”. By saying: "You are a useless man", he caused his brother to experience paleness of the face. Why did his face turn pale? Internally, his brother receive through this, as it were, a slap: as an insult hurts a person, touches a nerve, and therefore, on his face a blood clot appears. In other words, he loses, even if just a little, of his blood. And from the above, it relates to bloodshed. Through his insult he thus, in this way sheds his brother’s blood! But there are however, different levels of an insult. It is one thing to call your brother "useless” with a general meaning of empty, passive. Because it only reflects one aspect of the outer manifestations of your brother. Perhaps his brother, in his eyes, is not active enough in his environment, in the social sphere, etc. 3) ‹רא לוŠ •וא”ש} ר נ‹ב‹ ל י† ק, and who calls him a fool he is punishable not in the earthly way, but חֻי•ב א~ש ג~יה†נ•םŠמ,by the fire of Gehinom! It is an absolutely different case, when he calls him "naval" dumb. Here, he is judging his brother! And there is a commandment: do not judge and be not judged. When you judge your brother, you put on a mantle of the Supreme Judge and therefore get this judgment boomeranged back at you. Of course, no one judges a person from the above, because the higher only wants to give to the lower. But the one who judges his brother, neighbor, he condemns himself, for this way he turns his back to the Light. The fact is, the action that he causes, that he summons by judging his brother, is made on the left side and more precisely the adjacent to it ג~יה† נ• ם, Gehinom - hell! What is this hell ? Hell is the power of dinim, rigor of the law, which was established during the second day of the act of creation. During this day the contradiction between right and left, between chesed and gevurah, was created. This contradiction, of course was structural and necessary for the existence of the world and it is resolved on the third day of the Act of creation, through the creation of sfirah tiferet. But on the second day the complex of powers of din was created, which is called ג~יה†נ•ם, Gehinom, hell. But why, you will ask, the merciful Creator creates something like this, to ‘punish’ His creation? As it contradicts the known law that from above there is only desire to give?! The Creator made His world such, that it has to follow His laws of the universe. Its whims (read: perversion, a deviation from His laws) of one or another fool that does not know how the world actually operates or does not want to follow the laws… From the above there can never come down a fine, a punishment to the human even for the worst of sins. And it is only the person himself who jumps by his transgressions into some appropriate level of transgression compartment of hell. As Zohar says: everyone who strengthens the power of his left line, falls into a state of “hell." And so: any form of judgment of his brother pulls a person to the left from his left line, which is adjoined by the force dinim called hell. It turns out that the judging of your 142 brother brings you into a state of being in hell. And it does not require a person to die first, and then just get into hell for the sins he committed in the past, as it is naively believed by the religionists, who frighten the man by talking about incredible torments in hell in the afterlife . ("Do you want” says the priests “me to forgive your sins? Than all you have to do is pay me!”). Is the concept of “hell” clear in the overall sense? And this is the true law. It can be seen that Yeshua did not come here with the laws of the flesh, but with the laws of the spirit. Suppose a person is angry with someone, but does not show it. No one can see that he is angry. And the reason for his anger is not important. Then, according to the Laws as they are given in the Torah of Moshe, a person who is angry internally is not guilty because he did not do anything, he did not cause harm to another person, did not hit him. As it is written "eye for an eye", "tooth for a tooth" - and he did not do anything ! He was just angry inside of himself. Moshe knew how to deal with his people. The Jews received the covenant by flesh, because there was no further disclosure of the spiritual laws into the world. It was the first stage of this disclosure. Now we learn that the person who is angry at another person deserves the punishment by the hellfire. And it will not happen then, in the afterlife, but here on earth, inside of oneself... When you feel angry, you feel hell. Those who are constantly angry, develop an immunity to the hellfire, they become like an armored ship, they cannot experience it as something harmful, to them. How does this happen? If a person is angry, and not just once, but twice, thrice, or even more, it becomes a habit, which he indulges himself in whenever he wants. He is unable to see that it is sin. The meaning of hellfire is that when you become angry at another person, the holiness leaves you. What did Yeshua do? He's only brought back our inner freedom! Up until Yeshua, it was the process of establishing a group existence. But starting from Him, the process of creative individual consciousness started. And at this point a person has arrived into a phase of awareness of the individual divine Providence. Now no one can hide behind a crowd, behind religion, behind national identity, behind each and every group. Yeshua came here to announce that for a person, who created a social life with some kind of internal reality, the time has come to focus at and put himself under the individual divine Providence. Is there a higher feeling than a state of being an independent person? What is higher than the feeling of being interconnected with the true life? And this is what Yeshua teaches us! You do not need anything more that that. You just have to go beyond the limitations of your intellect, and that is at the time when the traditional interpretation of the Torah is only a product of the intellect. The Talmud is very intelligent: it unites the divine laws with the laws of reason (by the means of formal logic of Aristoteles). And I know what I'm talking about! Got that? They combine Greek logic of Aristoteles with the laws of the Torah. Of course, there are some good things there, but it is still the omnipotence of reason. But nowadays it has become some kind of jewish philosophy. 143 In fact Talmud is divine, but the way in which they learn it, cannot help them. Now, you do not need Christianity nor any guru or rabbi, and even no teacher of flesh and blood. This is exactly what we are learning here. Gradually, the study of my books will lead you to the brink of your full independence. It is the ultimate goal of our study which is conferred upon me! This is why I want you to become independent and stop searching for a teacher once and for all. We have Yeshua, He, is the founder of the Lurian Kabbalah, He told us about it and we can trust Him – as he is united together with the Creator. Is there anyone else who can say or do the same? It is written "You shall not kill". Yeshua taught us that if you offend someone, then, in a sense it is also a murder. What are the consequences of the act of someone being offended by you? He turns pale, the blood moves away from his face. He must restrain himself and uses up his blood, his life energy, in order to restrain himself. This is what happens to a man: first the blood departs, and he, so to speak, departs as if dying. It is written in the Torah, "Do not kill" while here, in the law of the Kingdom of Heaven, in the second covenant by the spirit, Yeshua explains that it is not allowed to shame another person by insulting him. After all, everything that is outside you is the Creator! And therefore you must know what you are doing! When you anger, you hurt yourself more than you hurt the other! This is what really happens to you! Inside of you there will be a state of hellfire, and not elsewhere, as the religion tells us. Religion cannot help you in any way. When you feel anger rising inside of you, think of the words of Yeshua , which He says in the here and now while staying in the here and now . Think, that the hell will be in you and that you will be separated from the Creator and will not be able to feel His mercy. It turns out that in fact by your anger you take your own blood from yourself. Well, is it not the most compelling reason not to hurt another person? Stay in the here and now and do not think about the future or the past. Of course, nothing disappears in the spiritual, but it is important that you stay in the here and now. When you exert (or just feel!) anger, you are not living in the here and now, then you are connected to the sitra achra, with the shadow, and not the reality. This is why malignant cells are formed in the human body! During moments of anger, when you are not in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, these cells grow in you. At such moments, all the sickness, suffering, G’d forbid, is drawn to us. Your anger is a nourishing environment for the formation of malignant tumors, multiple sclerosis, etc. Life leaves you and it is ONLY your fault! Understand this, and if the understanding has not come yet, keep working on it! Do you have an understanding of what Yeshua brought to us? He brought us an atonement for any situation that we may face in our life, to be in every moment in here and now to protect every creature from himself, from his selfish desire to receive for the sake of himself. Yeshua brought us the laws of His Father. If you live by these laws, then you will be saved. Then anger will leave you and you will come to a point where you will 144 not feel angry anymore. The consequence of all the effort you put into anger is hellfire. Where there is anger, there is a place of hell! In other words, the Sitra Achra enters into your perception and begins to control you. I already told you that the result of anything that you may do, will be felt in the future, because everything is interconnected, and nothing is lost in the spiritual, but it does not matter today. Today you are alive and today you have to make a choice, whether or not to make place in your life for anger. Learn from Yeshua and become receptive to His words. Regardless of what you may want to say, say: "I believe in the power of Yeshua that is in me, because I know that He is my Savior. He saves me in any situation." Of course, I have to be an active part of the process of Tikkun. When I become an active part in the process of my corrections by selecting that which corresponds to the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, then I will accept the hit, even though I do not consider it to be one. Salvation is not somewhere in heaven, but only in my perception of the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven. Keter of Zeir Anpin is the mercy from which the Kingdom of Heaven emanates. Malchut does not have anything from herself, but receives from ZA. ZA is the heaven that gives chasadim into the Kingdom. We are all part of His Kingdom, and we should attract heavens into the Kingdom, into Malchut. And this is what we are doing by following the laws, given to us by Yeshua, and not something else. Anyone who wants to be liberated, wants to live, to build himself internally and not to feel unclean, must follow the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven. 19. RECONCILE WITH YOUR BROTHER AND THAN BRING YOUR OFFERING ך׃w מzריב עz דב{ רs חיךz w אsש לu י־יz כwרתs ז {כw s ח וuבsמזz { ל־הr ך אs נwרבs wריב קz sאם־ת{ קz ןuלכw Therefore if you bring your offering on the altar and you will remember that your brother has something (a quarrel) with you. ך׃r נwרבs w ת־קrרב אu sן בוא ה{ קu‹רי כu א{ חsחיך וz wי אu נs ת־פr ר אuך כ{פu לs ח וuבsמזz {י הu נs פzך לr נwרבs w ת־קr ם אwה{ נ{ח ש Leave there your offering before the altar and go reconcile with your brother and then come and bring your offering. "Reconcile with your brother", this is as interpretation of the verse, but that which Yeshua actually says in the holy language is: “cover the face of your brother”. As the fact is that during the quarrel, the face of the offended person turns pale and you must give him an opportunity to once again renew himself by the spirit – to color his cheeks rosy. And all of this happens within the person. 145 Do not think that Yeshua says something about making a material sacrifice. Of course, you must understand that it is also important, but the bottom line lies in realization of self. Prior to the destruction of the Temple, a thought of sacrifice was enough to atone for the sin done by flesh. The value of the offering depended on how rich the person was. One sacrificed a cow, another a lamb while the poor could sacrifice a couple of pigeons. But if the sacrifice was done “by hands and feet” how could the mechanism of redemption work? When the sinner witnesses the death of his sacrificial lamb, it makes a lasting impression on him. Firstly, it belongs to him. Secondly, it awakens the awareness that this offering in itself is actually, replacing himself. In addition, he also feels compassion for the living being. That is the path that a person takes to reach the covenant with the All-high by flesh. By witnessing the death of the animal in flesh and blood (instead of his own death) which happens before his very own eyes, he comes to the covenant with the All-high through emotion! As it affects his innermost feelings. Please note that the Creator does not have any need for this. The Creator is the spiritual Light. Does the Light need animal meat? Does the Light need the smell of meat? No, the person needs it and he only needs it through the covenant by flesh. As all sacrifices that a man makes, he makes for himself. Korban in Hebrew translates as a sacrifice, but this is not the literal translation, but an interpretation. Korban comes from the root which translates: to come closer. Based on the sacred language, this means that the sacrifice is made in order to come closer to the Creator through the similarity of properties of Light. Therefore, when you make a sacrifice, it is not assumed that you are making a physical sacrifice made out of flesh and blood, but the intention to give from yourself, meaning that you must give something out of your desire to receive in exchange for forgiveness of sin. This means that you repent for the bad action that you committed. And this is designed to bring you in peace with yourself. Man reaches reconciliation through the act of giving. As in this way you save yourself from the bondage of evil. And this is the mechanism of reconciliation with yourself. As you reconcile with your brother, you feel relieved and can breathe easily. Know that the true act of giving is done through the individual faith, through your kelim. Giving without faith means to do so just because someone prescribed you to do so and then it makes no difference what you sacrifice! If there is no repentance, there is no point in executing any commandment concerning of bringing sacrifices. Yeshua says this for all the times. He says: "If you bring your offering to the altar..." But what does it mean to make a sacrifice in our day? It means your prayers, your MaN! Following the destruction of the Second Temple the prayer became your offering, and your heart became the altar! Why did it happen immediately after the destruction of the Second Temple? This occurred simultaneously with the coming of Yeshua. Worship and Temple were cancelled due to the great excess of sins of Yisrael and also because the 146 covenant by the spirit came to replace the covenant by flesh. And since then the salvation through the covenant by flesh ceased to exist and in place of the worship service came prayer. It became the intention to pray within yourself, to pray from the heart. Together with Yeshua came the aspect of individuality. Also with Yeshua came the individual connection with the Creator. Before Yeshua no one had any DIRECT contact with the Creator. For Avraham the Creator was somewhere on top of the mountain, somewhere very high up. He had to climb the mountain, as did Moshe, who climbed up on it to receive the Torah. Only to Moshe the Creator revealed Himself in His property called rachamim, the Merciful. But Moshe had to climb THE MOUNTAIN while the Creator in his perception was outside of him, when He revealed himself to Moshe. Yitzhak would find the Creator in the field, Ja’acov in the tent, in a house, in the family. But with the coming of Yeshua the Creator settled Himself in the heart of every living being. The Temple is now in your heart! Of course, the Temple was always there in the heart, but now is the time when it can manifest itself in your being. The Third Temple will in fact be… in the Zohar you can read that both Temples were manmade, by the man from the outside, as a symbol of the spiritual Temple. The Third Temple will be the first true timeless Temple! And in general aspect its epicenter will be in Jerusalem, but it will be intended for all the mankind. The third Temple will not be manmade, but will come down from above. What does this mean? Without the Zohar it is impossible to understand.‘With His feet’ Mashiach will stand on the Mount of Olives. This means that the light of Atzilut will descent into Assiyah, which will in turn give an opportunity to BiYA to rise to Atzilut. The correction of BiYA is accomplished when they will rise up into Atzilut, and then they go down in three times, up until Assiyah. In general this describes the coming of Third Temple. So now is the time to let your prayer flow from the spiritual heart, and not from the heart of flesh and blood, as the spiritual heart is the epicenter of your inner power, because it is your Temple. You pray with your lips, but they must be connected with your heart. Let your prayer become an offering, your MaN. During the service in the Temple, the MaN was the sacrifice of meat and other food. However, now it does not make sense to sacrifice meat or any other food. In India, for example, to this day there is a beautiful tradition: they offer a sacrifice of all that they can offer to their deities. They put it at the feet of the images of their gods, so those gods would have a good, supportive attitude towards these people because they RECEIVED their share from the person. But think! Does divine need really this, the divine that does not eat or drink? You have to raise MaN internally upward. And only when you bring yourself in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, it can happen. This is what we cognize here and there is no other way! How can you raise your MaN? Just remember what Yeshua said, and do the same. He said by powers: "Build a temple inside of 147 yourself!”. It is not easy, but those who have eyes, will see. When you call your neighbor a fool or a nothing, than you deserve the hellfire. "Leave there your offering before the altar and go reconcile with your brother and then come and bring your offering." So who is your brother whom Yeshua is talking about? And who brings the offerings? It is all inside of you of course. Inside of you is the good side, namely the desire to give, and on the other side anger, the desire to receive. And you need to know how to serve the Creator. Do not say: "I am good", as you require both parts of your being: the kelim of bestowal, the ones that are above the Chazeh and that is only half of you, and the kelim de kabbalah that are under chazeh, your other half, your evil origin. Your anger stems from there. And what did Yeshua say? When you make a sacrifice from your good side only, it is not considered an offering. Your kingdom is divided into two parts and you, of course, wish to bring the offering to the All High only from your good half. But Yeshua warns us that you must first reconcile with your evil origin and then they both will start working together to give. As work with your good origin that is in you, work through good intentions, is not the complete work as it is done without connecting the piece that lies beneath the chazeh. As all the zest is in this connection. It is quarrels and disputes. When Yeshua talks about them, He is always talking about one person, because there is good and evil in everyone. When Yeshua says: "Do this", He is speaking to your good half, as it always listens to Yeshua. While the evil origin is not willing to listen to Him because of their difference in qualities. So you have to work in the two halves of your Kelim, to work on their fusion. This requires your willpower. Of course, knowledge of the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven will help you, but on the condition that you will always remember that everything Yeshua says is in one person! Currently, when a person prays, how effective are his prayers? Is his prayer sacrifice? For example, before you begin to pray, do you remember that you did today? Do you remember calling your colleague stupid because he could not figure out something in the computer? You need to know that by calling him stupid, you did so according to your own kelim de kabbalah, the kelim of receiving, as your good origin would have never allowed you to do so. This is the reaction of your uncorrected evil origin, which emanates from under chazeh. It is the source of all suffering and your actions are only its projection into the outside world. And it is necessary to understand and accept this. As this is your half which hurt another person, and you must deal with this. Should you apologize to this person? You can do it, but most importantly you should seek reconciliation within yourself! And if you decide to go and apologize then you should be careful as you go to him: as maybe you wish only to soothe your conscience, to get rid of the emotional discomfort. The true work is located within yourself, as you have to work with your evil in there as the real reason lies within it. And you will receive the power to work with your evil origin, from your good origin. The effort has to come from your good origin while you must direct its mercy into place underneath chaze. This is the 148 only way that you will able to correct your kelim de kabbalah . At the moment of the internal reconciliation you will have one whole Partzuf: kelim above the chazeh working to give, and those that are under the chazeh are kelim of receiving, that now working together with the kelim of giving, in a way that they do not receive, but only give. That is your job: to connect that which is under your chazeh with the kelim of bestowal and then you will have all five kelim that are currently receiving chasadim. So, for now your five kelim have only the light of chasadim, the light of giving and it is enough for now. Your partzuf is currently filled with the light of chasadim. And from this state you pray to HaShem. And this is what Yeshua is talking about: first you must reconcile with your kelim of receiving, to use all five of your kelim to bring wholeness to your inner state. So in order to gain wholeness, you, must be intact yourself, but first you must reconcile with your kelim de kabbalah. And this is what you need to do. So if you called somebody a fool, it does not matter how you did it, whether you did so openly or only inside of your heart, the result is still the same! Thus you must combine the two brothers that are inside of you. In this way you create conditions to receive wholeness. This is what Yeshua is telling you, as everything is in one person, without any projection to the outside. Of course, you can simply come up to another person and apologize by saying "I’m sorry", but it will not reconcile the two brothers that are inside of you. Yeshua says: "Go to your brother", but it does not mean that it is enough to do so with your hands and feet, to go to your brother in flesh and blood. Remember, Yeshua speaks of the brother that is within you. Together with your brother you will become one and this is done in your kelim. Wholeness is within the limits of your Kelim. This is what He meant. Do you understand now? Now, do everything that you just read, implement it in your daily life. Yeshua wants you to do so for your own sake. Got that? Everything you read about Yeshua, you must know that it is not about Him. It is about you, as He said, "Let your light shine before men ... ". And He does not say this only to His students, but to all those who find the wholeness in Him. This is what you must follow. He says: "Show your light to the people so they can see your good deeds and then they shall praise your Father in Heaven." His Father is in Him and when you are connected with Yeshua… He is in all of us, but you must realize this. So let us give thanks and praise to the Father of Yeshua and may He become your Father as well! And only in this way you will reach wholeness, in the image of Yeshua. Father comes into your perception through Yeshua. Do as Yeshua, make His laws yours and put them into practice in your mind every day. Your work is individual and all of it is inside of you. As you become a part of Him and He becomes a part of you, you receive liberation in the here and now! 149 20. QUICKLY RECONCILE WITH THE ONE WHO FEUDS WITH YOU רuירך ל{שוטs z{סגs ט יu ה{ שֹ פs ט וu ל־ה{ שֹ פrיבך א s רz אישz ירךs z{סגs ן־יrאתו פz רךr rעודך ב{ ד s בs יבך s רz אישz s ה לuת {רצs הz רuמ{ ה א׃r לr ית ה{ כu ל־בr אw תsשל{כs w הsו “Quickly reconcile with the one who feuds with you, while you are still on the same path with him, so your warring does not give you to the judge, and the judge does not give you to the slave, and they would not cast you to prison.” What does this mean? Who is your warring? This is your evil, the one that is in you uncorrected kelim de kabbalah. He says: “while you are still on the same path with him" – on the path to your complete correction – you need to reconcile with him. Let him work together with the good half of your kelim, on giving. So your warring does not give you to the judge – so he does not to pull the light illegal from the place above the chaze, as then you bring upon yourself the judgment – dinim without chasadim. Judgment is dinim. And the judge does not give you to the slave - the feeling of dinim without chasadim giving yourself into the hands of the servant - Satan. And they would not cast you to prison – at that point Satan gets the permission to cast you into the prison – into the dominion of darkness and spiritual captivity. ה׃w א{ ח‹רונw ה הw רוטs ת־ה{ פr אw{מתs ם־של z אz ם ע{ דwמשz אu צuך ל ֹא תw י לz ר א‹ נu ן אֹ מu מwא The truth I am saying to you: you will not exit from there, until you give up to the last coin. “You will not exit from there, until you give up to the last coin.”- Until you finally begin to completely work towards giving! Under the -principle: Give everything and you shall get everything! ף׃w אsתנz ים ל ֹאzראשֹ נwz מ{ ר לƒאr י נz ם כr תsשמ{ עs You heard what was said to the firsts: do not commit adultery. בו׃zבלs הw פw אsאֹ ף נw ה נw{חמֹ ד אותs ה לwאשz בs לuסת{ כs מz {ל־הwם כrלכw רu י אֹ מzו{א‹ נ And I am telling you that everyone who looks at a woman to desire her, already adultery is in his heart. In the traditional Torah one of the commandments states: "You shall not covet ...” And they believe that the real sin happens when you touch other men’s woman, whether through engaging in sexual intercourse or simply by touching her; and this is why they don’t even touch women, upon meeting them. However, one of the most important laws of the kingdom of heaven states that everything is in your heart, and in it lies your true 150 essence. If a person commits a crime, but he is not caught, it does not mean that he is not a criminal ... If you want eternal life, you have to watch over your heart! Remember that the kingdom of heaven is perceived by your inner man. So when you bring yourself into the compliance with the internal, the kingdom of heaven descends into the feeling of your inner man. For this to happen you do not need to go anywhere, but only to ensure that every time you bring your heart into conformity with your inner. But how? When you are overwhelmed by heavy feelings and unsatisfied desires - this is the time when you can and must overcome all of this. Every moment of your life must be “in the here and now!" Only in the now, as Yeshua says, you can feel the connection with the Creator. Here and now, not in your plans for the future, or in the memory of the past. Life can only be complete in this moment. Here and now, this is the moment when you can feel your wholeness. Moment of "now" in the holy language is “achshav" - this is the moment when you merge with Yeshua! The Great sage of Torah, Hillel, said: אימתי, – ואם לא עכשיוve im lo achshav, eimatai – And if not now, then when? (!) And so the moment of the state of achshav –now – is… when you are not bothered by your environment, whether or not someone approves your actions or not… As they, your environment, can do bad upon you, BUT ONLY in your imagination! So, it turns out that you are afraid of yourself, and not of your opinionated surroundings! In addition, the sages said, "Anyone can become as Moshe rabeinu", as Moshe our teacher, so only after a person is put on the level of Chochmah , the level of Moshe rabeinu, the glow of Highest Keter, Yeshua, can descend upon him, making him a COMPLETE human-being. And therefore the state of perfection as Moshe rabeinu – is the perfection which is pulled from the Son of man. Only this form of perfection can (and should!) be achieved by the human of our world. However the level of Yeshua as the Son of the Creator never have and never will exist in the person! As up until the overall Gmar Tikkun the side darkened by the desire to receive, the tzimtzumed point of malchut will remain in every person, including Moshe, the rabeinu”. So you should not try to imitate Yeshua under any circumstances, as nothing will come out of this. No good will come from any form of imitation of Yeshua or any other person, even the one who believes in Yeshuah to death. You need to work through your own deeds, in every state to achieve the level of ‘as Moshe rabeinu’, and then you go lemala mihadaat, above reason. The Torah is the knowledge of the Creator. By giving your soul even higher to the overall Highest keter, Yeshua, and in this way coming into the union with the Creator… or to phrase it correctly (based on the holy language: union “in the Creator”. And this union is not possible without the preceding union with Yeshua… or to phrase it correctly the union in Yeshua, Which is in you! 151 So how is it that on the one hand it is necessary to live in the "now”, as only in the "now" you can receive the perfection without putting it off for tomorrow, and on the other hand, we say that the level of "Yeshua" (in the person) does exist and never will "? If we compare the two statements of the Sages of Torah (above), we may see that they, contradict one another. You must know that if you do not understand something out of my words, you must first justify them, to agree above reason. When you cannot understand something which I said in Kabbalah, then you always need to look closely at the key terms that is used in the phrase which you do not understand, and you must look at it in the HOLY LANGUAGE! In this case, we have two key terms: in the first message the word עכשיוnow and in the second message the word כישועas Yeshua. Let's carefully consider the word עכשיוnow. Which part immediately catches the eye? Of course, the fact that in this word the name of Yeshua is hidden: there is the first letter י Yod, the second letter shin ש, the third letter וVav and finally the fourth letter עAyin the only difference is that they are arranged in different order. There is also one more letter כfrom the word עכשיוnow. Now if we put letter כkaf first, followed by the rest 4 letters in the word עכשיו, we get a conceptual word כישועas Yeshua! Take a look at the great secret that is revealed to us! It turns out that the concept עכשיו, "NOW" - ie, the requirement for the state of perfection , which expressed by Hillel, the great sage of the Torah (and by us, when we emphasized the importance of living in the "now" ! ) Coincides by the letters – and transmits the power of concept כישוע, "as Yeshua" ! In other words, when you perform the individual internal spiritual work of bringing yourself into the spiritual state of "NOW", by going above knowledge ( = higher than the state "as Moses!" ) ,what do you achieve? – THE MERGER WITH YESHUA, by receiving eternal life you become... כישוע, AS YESHUA , who LIVES forever ... And this is in the state of life called עכשיו- " in the now" ! ל־r ך אsל־גופw ת כrרדr uריך מr w בu אu ד מw חr ר י ֹאב{ ד אr ך א‹ שs י טוב לzמך כs מz ךuשלs { הs ה וw ר אותu ך נ{קsמינz s ין יu ך עsשילz sאם ת{ כz sו יהנֹ ם׃u z ג If seduces you your right eye, pull it out and throw it away from you, as it is better for you that will get lost one of your organs than shall bring down your entire body to gehinom/hell. If you are seduced by your right eye, pull it out. He mentions only the right eye, why? - It means that you let yourself be seduced by Klipot that is in the right. These are very powerful klipot – the klipot of sexual perversion, adultery. And he speaks of the right eye, because these klipot are based on the right and really adjacent on the light of chasadim. These terrible klipot that are from the 152 right, they are the klipot of the eastern type. Every nation, every creature has its own peculiarity. Moavians - one of the seven nations which the Creator has obliged Israel to remove from the Promised Land, was the bearer of this type Klipot. Of course we're not talking about the nations of this world of flesh and blood, but in a person that experiences incredible difficulties in freeing himself from these klipot, which are adjacent to the right line. Klipot adjacent to the left, are also terrible, but they have a limit. However in the right klipot such limit does not exist! You can correct it and keep correcting it again and again, but it is all the same there, as a new klipah will be formed there. It's like the character of the Multi Headed Dragon, which gets his heads cut off by a brave warrior, but keep on growing back. This is one of the major reasons why I went to the West at one point of my life. The West is the place where I had to be, to work there in the left line. The Creator sends you exactly in the place where you can correct yourself in the most productive manner. I went to the West and not to Israel, because in Israel the forces of the right Eastern klipah are too powerful! Of course, there are also excellent climatic conditions, it is beautiful there and the life is comfortable, but there are a lot of things which cannot be perceived be one’s eyes, which have a lot in common with the right adjacent forces of klipot. This is why Yeshua talks about the right eye. These are very high klipot which impact the highest part of the partzuf in the right line, all the way up to the kli Chochmah. 153 21.

What power does our body have? Only the power from Klipot! The body comes from there, from the system of un-clean forces. Whoever thinks otherwise, he just does not understand. Even for Yeshua it was necessary to climb up, to move away from the masses (including His disciples!), in order to pray to the Father. All those powerful and subtle temptations that He endured, came from His body, which Christians consider holy and blissful! Everyone who has a physical body - and there are no people in this world (including Yeshua!), who do not have one - it is derived from the system of impure forces. It is important that you understand this. You must always remember that Yeshua brought us the salvation of the human soul. The soul need help, the soul needs healing, the soul must become one. And when the soul is saved, when the soul becomes one, when a person is healed from the inside, then a miracle happens to him. If he was a "blind" , then he could see. If he was "deaf" - he started to hear etc. through communication with Yeshua – The First Kabbalist from God! (After all, there are also the Kabbalists from man, flaunting themselves in front of the world, claiming to be able to attract the light without having a connection to Yeshua. This is where all the difference is!) Yeshua talks only about the kingdom of heaven, and not about our physical clothes. This piece of clothing, returns back, from where it was taken. Is there a difference between human flesh and the flesh of a chimpanzee? Chimpanzees, may have more hair. Yeshua says: "And if seduces you your right hand" - in other words, if the klipah that leans to the right, seduces you, “cut it off yourself”, because it means that you do not have the strength to confront it. What does it mean to "cut it off"? If you do not have enough strength not to use this kli for the sake of giving, than “cut” it off and do not work with it, and continue to work with the rest of your partzuf instead with those kelim, desires of which you can use in order to give, instead of continuing to attract the light of chasadim to the klipah of the right. †ריתות׃Š נ‹ת• ן ל‹ה ס~ פ}ר כŠשתו וŠ ת־א † } ש• ל•ח אŠ נ}̃אמ• ר †איש כ† י יŠו And it is said (in the laws of Torah:) a man who sends away his wife and he gives her the divorce letter. In the holy language it is: ר†יתותŠ“ – ס~פ}ר כthe book of cutting off”, meaning that he will 154 “cut” her off from himself. †אש‹ ה נ• א~ ףŠ רוש‹ ה לו לŠ ה• לק~ ח• א} ת־ה• גŠמב† יא‹ ה ל† יד~ י נ† ֻאפ† ים וŠ נותŠל־דב• ר ז Š †תי •עŠשתו ב† לŠ ת־א † }מש• ל~ח• אŠ •ו•א” נ† י א• מ~ ר ‹לכ}ם ה הוא׃ And I (The Upper Keter, into which dresses the Kingdom of Heaven) am telling you: the one who sends his wife for any other reason, than because of sin of adultery, brings her to adultery; and who will take for himself the divorced woman to marriage, he is committing adultery. It is really a great mystery. Do you know why? Because every woman who is divorced from her husband for a reason other than because of adultery, remains the forbidden fruit. And the one who marries a divorced woman commits spiritual adultery, because she is still connected with her husband, who separated from her. This is the case based on the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven , that is, by the laws of the spiritual, the highest laws of the universe. Such a true approach. The divorce as happening in our time is just a joke. But when a person wants to come to merge with the Almighty, and wants to cleanse himself from within, to build the eternal life, wants to be saved, than he is obliged to listen to these laws. One of the old friends of my wife once confessed to her that her first divorce was hard on her, and the next one, it was “easier." Sages say, you sin once, then a second time, and then it becomes a habit. “For the first time (or in one generation) they say: “Although it is forbidden, it’s ok to try anything once ... “even thou to sin for the first time is always a struggle . But for the second time (or in the next generation) it becomes easier, and for the third time – it becomes normal. “But who can live in strict accordance with that which Yeshua says? " – You must know, we are talking about one person. We recognize Yeshuah in the now, and not in the yesterday. Recognize yourself at the moment, when you read these lines, in order to protect yourself with these higher laws of the universe, at any time, because it's all one. Look at what He says: whoever sends away his wife without a valid reason such as adultery, pushes her towards the sin of adultery, and she becomes forbidden. And the one who takes her as his wife after the divorce – is committing adultery with her. And this is a very profound law. Go beyond the limits of his your understanding and do not think that He is speaking about people in different bodies. All this, is in one person. You, as an individual, must develop your nukvah - your wife - within yourself. We are talking here only about the inner man, and not about the relations that you have with the other people. The main thing is - your inner, which needs to be purified. The task is to create your own nukvah inside of you whole and HAPPY. We all have the right and the left line, and nukvah - is on the left. The left is the female, the receiving part. And Yeshua says: Do not let her go down into klipot. And what is so special about a hand that can do something forbidden? What can she do to seduce you so that your whole body goes down into the fiery gehinom? - There is a special property of the hands. They can remain in their place as chesed and gevurah respectively right and left hand – in the middle part of the partzuf. What can you do with your hands? You can raise them in blessing, thereby raising your chesed and gevurah. Kohanim - the priests in the Temple, raised their hands up as a sign of the rise in the 155 name of the Creator. But you can also lower the hands down. Then they fall below the knees, ie below the Tabur. This result, spiritually means that you are falling into the sin. By bringing your arms down, you can bring your entire body down into hell. Under the parsa below the tabur – is the place of klipot. Look at the great things He says. He makes us understand that a person should not banish his wife from himself. Because if he does it, and another one takes her, then the other one, is committing adultery. Why is it so important? What's the point of this? And at what point does a person commit a sin? In the yesod he breaks it! This is what Yeshua tells us. Yesod is the one who gives light to nukva and when this connection is interrupted, than Yesod is not able to give anymore, and then, instead of giving the abundance to nukva, the klipot receives it. This is the act of adultery in one person! The place named Yesod – the groin – is in many languages associated with the word which means cross. This is the initial value of this word. Now you will understand the meaning of the word cross. Cross – is the place of yesod! In English, also, the words Pope and priest, they are like the Russian word for ”groin". In Dutch the place of yesod is called kruis – cross, etc… it all has to do with this delicate place of yesod dat has to be ‘crusified’ to get to true eternal life. There are many expressions, that use the word cross for example "to bare your cross” and this does not mean, to put on your cross and to “wear it”. This does not help at all. What is the cross on the outside, ie in the literal sense of the word? It is only a piece of wood, two pieces of wood nailed together, or the jewelery product made out of gold, silver, etc. Reflect on this and forget that which religion turned it into. There is no other way to come to purification – no matter what you may know - without correcting your yesod. And now, to “carry your cross" means in your individual spiritual work "you wear" your yesod: raise MaN from it. Firstly from Ateret Yesod up to yesod itself, then up to 2/3 of tiferet under the parsa, then to 1/3 of tiferet which is above the parsa. Finally, up to daat in the head of the partzuf. And such a raise - "bearing" - requires the willpower to give! Someone came to our website, a married man, a Jew from America, a native of Russia. He sent me an email. And he had questions, the answers to which he very much wanted to know. He expressed his desire to work on his love of self and, as he wrote, to achieve that he was ready to do anything! When I get letters like this, how can I refuse? I sent him to our Russian Facebook page and he out set to work. He read the book "Kabbalah for complete life management," and then he sent me another message in which he said that he had read the book, but have not found an answer how to correct his yesod, although he was eager to do it. He realized that this contains a certain mystery - the solution from which resembles “to be or not to be." I advised him to read the book more than once, and at least five times. Reading it once is just a first look. This is not enough. You need to read it again and again, each time discovering something new. Moreover, not only to read, but also work to justify every word. In his next message he asked me something interesting: “What do I do with my wife ...?” He was talking about, not touching her during menstruation. 156 In other words, he tried to apply the laws taharat ha- mishpaha, of purity of family life, given in Torah, in order to correct his Yesod. He knew well that everything he does with his wife is lo lishma - not for the sake of the Name. He just performed his marital duties in accordance with the generally accepted standards of his brothers. (And Hashem has nothing to do with this! So there is no reason to blame Him!) After all, they are not correcting their yesod , as this can only be done, through the inner connection with Yeshua! "Bearing your yesod " consists of four phases, and that this is your job. And in order to purify your yesod, you must do an enormous hard work. Of course, he knew it and wanted to taste the eternal life, but not like that, not the way everyone else does it, those who see this act as getting fun with flesh. Everyone sees only the flesh, but no one can come to salvation. That which we are studying here from Yeshua, will also be the same in the future. Nowadays, divorce is not a problem even in the most conservative doctrines, because the opportunity is provided to them. Moses knew that his people could not accept the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven. Not that, G’d forbid, he did not know them or denied them, but he understood that they will be DEMANDED only after the Holy Spirit descends. Paraphrasing the words of the Torah, we can say, it says that a man can divorce his wife "at any moment", even because he did not like how she made his coffee, or whatever ideas pops into his hot head. What is allowed to a Jew living by the rules (I do not call it the law, God forbid!)… If we assume that his wife is sick, can he, in this case, go somewhere where he can fulfil his needs? Is it corrected? Can any of them say with pride that he is following the laws of Moshe? None of them live by these commandments, although they do learn them in the Torah. So said the sages that the truth is not in the study, but in the deeds – in the use. This is what we learn from the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven of Yeshua. You can extend your inner world from one end to the other end, but that does not mean a person can do whatever he wants to do and with whom he wants to do it, even if a person is living according to the laws of family purity, as described in the Torah as the way of family life. You need to work individually on your Yesod, otherwise you will not be able to come to a complete purification. The path of "bearing the cross” - yesod - consists of four phases, and you have to do an enormous work to "purify it". And it can be done only through the power of Yeshua that is in you. Without Yeshua – only the flesh is left, and it will not give you liberation. How do you work in here? Be careful, very careful with this place, even with your partner. You need a special approach to gradually learn to live in accordance with the laws, given to us by Yeshua and Zohar, because everyone has a connection with this place. This is - the entrance to paradise, because this place is where you raise or chozer to the incoming light chochmach . Only the shining light of chochma can nullify klipot, can remove it from your perception. There is no other way, than to raise or chozer from yesod . This is the only way to achieve a spiritual connection to a source of salvation! Yeshua 157 tells it to us in a very sublime way. Everything is in one person, and as a result of individual work in this place - and between people, with your partner…. but the correction is always inside of you. If you can do this within yourself, you can do it with your partner. Another person cannot know what is in your head, what you feel, he could never find out. Therefore it is very important to be sincere and honest - and this is spiritual purity. Please understand that there are no tricks! You can not wish to receive eternal life and do nothing good to achieve this. You should work on yourself, here and now - and you have no alternatives. Do not think that you will have the eternal life, if you did not worked on getting it here. And that which is explicitly or implicitly allowed within a particular religion, is terrible. Is this the way through which people can come to the realization of their goals? One after another, we perceive the laws of the kingdom of heaven. Make yourself receptive, study and implement them in your everyday life. This will expand your inner, and you will be able to switch in your active contemplation from one end of the world to another. 158 22. So let your words be yes yes, no no, and that which is above this, it is from the evil. יך׃rשב•עותs הwם ליהוu ש{ לs ר וr קw ב{ ע ל{שwתשz ים ל ֹאzראשֹ נwz מ{ ר לƒאr י נz ם כr תsשמ{ עs עוד Moreover you heard what is said to the first “do not vow deceitfully and give to HaVaYaH your vows. ה׃w מuלהים ה z ƒ א אu סz י־כz ם כz מ{ יw ה ל ֹא ב{ שwל־שבועw s בעו כs wתשz ם ל ֹאrלכw רu י אֹ מzו{א‹ נ רב׃w ךr לrרי{ת מs zי־היא ק z z ם כz ל{יwבירושz ל ֹאsהיא וz יוw לs י־ה‹דום {רגzרץ כr w אw ל ֹא בsו And I am telling you: do not vow at all, not by heaven, as it is the throne of ELOKIM, and not by the earth, because she is the pedestal of His feet, and not by Jerusalem, because this is the city of the great KING. What is He talking about? That a person is not allowed to swear by the name of the Heavens, because the Heavens - is the throne of ELOKIM. How does this look in the sfirot? ש‹ מ• י† ם, shamayim - Heavens - is ZA and it is the throne of Elokim - or Binah. ZA merkavah, the chariot, the carrier of Binah. Therefore, when one swears by the throne of the King, it entails that one also swears by the King himself. And “to swear by the King " is, in fact, to express the desire through the lips and the heart, aimed at forcing the higher to fulfil the desire of the lower . But there is no coercion in the spiritual - it is impossible to force one to give. And conversely: when you make a correction within yourself, then, you automatically receive into it the corresponding glow. Jerusalem - is Malchut. Yerushalayim which consists of the words ir /city (and the fact that in this word is missing the letter ayin, indicates that it is the city of the King and His chosen people of Israel in the general aspect. And Israel in the overall aspect, in other words, Israel that is inside of one person, rules here and there is no place for ayin – for the 70 “nations of the world” – for the desire to receive only for themselves.) and the word shalem which is in the name Yerushalayim, means wholeness and pacification, as during the gmar tikun Malchut will receive its full correction. רה׃w ֹשחs zה או לw נw בs לz‹רה א{ ח{ ת לw י־ל ֹא תוכ{ל {לה‹פֹ ך ש{ עz ע{ כu בwל־תש z {ֹאשך א s י רuבח{ יs א{ ף Also by the life of your head do not swear, because you will not be able to change a single hair to white or to black. A person receive his light from saarot dikna, the “beard of ZA” through nukvah, malchut. The light of Zeir Anpin is called the white light, and the light of malchut is called – the 159 black light. A person –exists from nothing and does not have his own light. Everything, that he receives – comes from ZoN. And when someone swears by anything which is above him, then, he is swearing by that which does not belong to him and is not in his dominion. “I swear by the Rolls Royce of my neighbour!” – is it really possible to say such a thing? רע הוא׃w wמן־הz הr לu ר ע{ ל אu ה{ יותs ן ל ֹא ל ֹא וu ן הuם הrרכs {דבs היz sא{ ך־י So let your words be “yes yes” “no no”, and that which is above this, it is from the evil. In this law, lies a very deep meaning for our day to day activates. Of course, you have to communicate at work, with family, etc. But open your mouth only when it is required. Pay attention to what you say and how you are saying it. You are not obliged to constantly keep silent, but, in order to achieve your goals and to be an effective communicator, you must say only that which you absolutely have say in a given moment. Yeshua advises you to select only that substance, which is necessary to facilitate the decision making. When you are discussing a problem, you should reduce it to the initial gist, which gives you your point of view, and then you can make a decision, by saying “yes” or “no”. The whole point is to not take into consideration too much information, which you are not able to clearly understand or process. For then, your speech can become infinitely complicated. And all such discussions – shall bear no fruit. Initially, you have to reduce the problem to a minimum, reduce it to a size where you can say "yes" or "no" and nothing more! Know, that Yeshua is saying, that everything else, which is more than this, comes from the evil and feeds on evil. Someone talks and talks and keeps talking without stopping, until he is suddenly left powerless. His strength is gone to klipot. What does a child do, when he is tired of playing and talking? He starts to scream and cry. The same thing happens with a person who keeps on exhaustively talking about a subject. He loses his strength. Therefore you must focus and bring yourself into a peaceful state, so that you can make the one right, unequivocal decision: "yes" or "no." "You must choose between “yes" and "no" in every moment of your existence. It works so that a person can make a simple decision: ‘yes” or “no” in any situation. This is the state of creation - a fifty-fifty: 50% "yes" and 50% "no." And then he has to decide yes or no! It is always "yes" or "no" and not more than that. The following situation is also a fifty-fifty. Again, it is necessary to reduce this situation, reduce its significance to a minimum. So, by knowing that you cannot digest the bigger piece, you must go back to “yes” or “no”. Learn it and practice it. Crush a larger problem into smaller pieces. Start with simple situations which are easier to solve and avoid any "global" situations, because analyzing them will not provide you with an adequate solution to your question. 160 What does Yesuah tell us? Did you hear of the covenants given to the “first ones” – in the first covenant by the meat? So, I have come to reveal to you the laws of the covenant by the spirit, and these laws are in accordance with the eternal laws of the Universe. Only this will give you redemption. What is redemption? It is wholeness which is achieved by connecting yourself with your own kli kether and as a result, you can connect yourself with the glow of the Highest Keter right away. It lets you feel the power of Yeshua inside of you. That is redemption. ן׃u ן ת{ ח{ ת שu ן שz ן ת{ ח{ ת ע{ יz מ{ ר ע{ יƒאr י נz ם כr תsשמ{ עs You heard what is said: “Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”. רת׃r r א{ חw ת־הr ה־לו ג{ם אu ית ה{ טz נw מsחי ה{ יz sאותך ע{ ל־ה{ ל s הr ה{ מ{ כs ע וwרשww תקומ‹מו לs ל־ת z {ם אrלכw רu י אֹ מzו{א‹ נ And I am telling you, do not resist the evil one and the one who hits you onto your right cheek, turn to him the other one. קומ‹מוsתz – א{ל־תliterally: do not stand up – meaning do not stand up onto the one, who acts outside of the Higher laws of the creation. And the one who hits you onto your right cheek, turn the other – the left. These words, which are spoken by Yeshua are very typical for kli Keter . And now, the Zohar shall reveal to us the secret of these words of Yeshua. You always have to come from the holy language, than you can really understand the meaning. What do these words of Yeshua mean, based on the sacred language? After all, without letters of the sacred language it is absolutely impossible to adequately understand anything from the spiritual, internal existence. The only thing which remains is chatter, elevated, moral… chatter. Discussions about the spiritual, are nothing but brainstorming which emanates from the philosophical and religious ideas, such as "do not resist evil” and similar interpretations of the terrestrial mind, which have no relation to the phenomena of the Higher Operating system. And what remains is whatever the brains and “feelings” manage to digest. And even though these views are very noble, they have no relation to the eternal order, which is established from the ABOVE onto all ages and generations, in order to bring a person to his only true and elevated purpose through the path which can be determined ONLY by the Creator! "And the one who hits you onto your right cheek, turn to him the other one(left) ": פניםPanim , the front side, the face – is a dual word in the holy language which means that the word is plural by default. For example שמיםsjamajiem, which literally means "heavens". The plural value can be seen through the ending: ים- "im" which is the reason why it is translated as heavens. This means, that the face in the holy language is in a plural form: פניםpanim . Sages of the Torah teach us that whenever a word in the Torah is given in the plural form and its specific number is not indicated than it should be read as 2 – ie. it is composed of 2 161 parts. In the sacred language of Kabbalah there exists but a single word פןpen, ie in the singular form of the word פנים. פןpen in its singular form means a side of the face, one half of the face , one cheek of the face. On one side of the face פןpen and the other side of the face is פןpen. Together they constitute פניםPanim . The word פן- pen is the word which is used by Yeshuah (although it was translated into modern Hebrew using a different word: as the translator might not have been aware of the higher laws of the universe). "When you get hit onto your right cheek, turn your left cheek." Yeshua speaks of פןpen in the holy language. "When you get hit onto your right cheek” - means "onto the right side of the face” – and in this lays the deep "mystical" meaning of his saying: "When you get hit onto your right cheek, turn your other cheek (left cheek)". When ס"א, sitra achra (literally: the other side), the evil spirit strikes you on the right cheek, on the right pen , turn the left cheek, left pe . What does this mean? פןword pen has the numeric value of 130 : פpeh - 80 and נNun - 50 = 130 together . And this is 5x יהוהHaVaYaH, as the right side of the face - is 5x חסדיםchasadim. 5x חסדים chasadim - 5x יהוהHaVaYaH = 5x26 = 130. So on the right we have 130 and on the left we have 130. As on the left side - the 5 GEVUROT is 5x x 26 = 130. When Sitra Achra strikes you on the right cheek, right pen, is the moment when the male counterpart of the ס"א, sitra achra strikes you. How? He “hits” you using flattery. The male counterpart of the s”a tells you internally: "You are doing great! You are so good! What a righteous man you are! They will never find someone like you! You are the best! " And once a person listens to the voice of the male counterpart of the s”a and receives, takes in this flattery and begins to believe it, then the male counterpart “takes” his soul and brings it over to his – נוקבאnukvah, female counterpart of s”a on a silver platter. And nukvah, she does not compliment and faltter the man, but deals with him, by destroying him and his soul, by spiritually striking him with a fatal blow. The female part of ס"א, s”a strikes the left side of his face, and the left side, pen, is 26x5 the 5 gevurot . And how does she achieves this? ... She seduces him with her leftist methods, from the left side: she kills a person by convincing him of the opposite: “Listen to me my friend, you are useless! You are a damn weakling. The spiritual work is not for idiots like you! You CANNOT change yourself". So the right counterpart of ס"א, s”a, which hits the right cheek, the right pen, does it through flattery – in a “nice” way, in order to “soften you” make it easy to seduce you. As you must possess ENORMOUS internal powers (and faith), in order not to be seduced by flattery! 162 And so Yeshua, knowing the nature of man and the serpent in all their manifestations, without exception, teaches you: “When the male counterpart of s”a hits you onto your right cheek, please do not focus on it, do not actively react to it, by internally “looking him straight into the eyes”. Which means, in Kabbalistic terms, do no raise או"חor chozer, as together with your or chozer (which react to “or yashar” the male counterpart of the serpent!), ס"א, s”a will enter into you and into your kelim! So what does Yeshua tell us to do? – Do not react to it! "But what can I do! As she, s”a is much stronger than me" – you should apply the antiegotistic power into 130 units of the right side, which means, you must GIVE 5x חסדים chasadim in a form of a COUNTERSTRIKE towards the unholy powers. Now this – is your protection, take it at your service, and use it to protect yourself from the attacks of the serpent instead of falling for his same old tricks again and again! And now imagine: the male counterpart of s”a tries to flatter you, and you do not react to it, you do not focus on his flattery. But that's not all: in addition, must simultaneously turn your left cheeck your left pen towards the strike. But why? We are people of flesh and blood, and it may happen that you do not react in time, you do not react fully or you react with some delay. This may enable, sitra achra to grab onto something, grab you, even if by a little bit. So what do you do when he strikes you onto your right cheek (as you have already been partially caught and he is now trying to reel you in!)? For this, Yeshua teaches us, LINE UP the 5х יהוהHaVaYaH, on your left side, 5 GEVUROT. As both of these powers are creative: 5 chasadim on the right and 5 gevurot on the left. This is done so, your “left cheek” is not caught by the pleads of the female counterpart of sitra achra. Look: you are now armed with holiness "from head to toe" - yes, literally, starting from the head - "the cheeks"! And the rest – are the weapons used to protect for the rest of your Partzuf: the covenant by your eyes, the covenant by your tongue, and the covenant by your reproductive organ. 163 23. A BLESSING AND A CURSE מע† יל׃Š • ת} ך ת~ ן־לו ג•ם א} ת־הŠ ל‹ק• ח• ת א} ת־כֻת‹ נŠמך וŠ † •• ץ ל †‹ריב עŠ•וא”ש} ר י•ח And the one who wants to quarrel with you and take your shirt, give him also the coat . What does this mean? Again – everything is in one person. Who is this person that wants to quarrel with you? Only your evil inclination wants to argue with you and to take “your shirt." Where is this "shirt" located? Of course, you're wearing it on your body, but not physically, you wear it on the body of the partzuf that is over chazeh. “Shirt " is emtzait the in-between clothing of the partzuf. Your evil inclination wants to take away your in-between clothing, and therefore you should, "give him also the coat” – as well. A “coat" is worn over the "shirt ." It is chitzonit - the outer garment of the partzuf. And so sitra achra wants to quarrel with you. What does it mean "to quarrel with you?" - She wants to invoke dinim in you. And indeed, as soon as you start to react to her actions, to fix your attention on her, your mochin evaporate immediately and you are left with Dinim. Dinim without chasadim are felt as nudity. This is why you should not fall for her tricks, but instead you should anticipate her plans and give that, which she wants to “quarrel” from you. After all, a person is obliged to give a small bit from himself to sitra achra, in order to support its existence, as it has – up until gmar tikun - the sparks of holiness that have yet to be pulled out of the klipot. Be merciful, even to her, because if she does not receive anything from you, she will being to accuse you in front of the All High! The most important component inside of you is the pnimit - your inner constituent – and you must treasure her at all times. We have already learned that the example of Ya’akov and Esav. Ya’akov had a daughter named Dinah - from the word din . Ya’akov is the personification of the good origin and he had a brother named Esav - from the evil origin. Ya’akov came from the holy side of the tree of life. And he did not want to give his daughter Dinah, the bearer of the holy property of the left line, to Esav. As Esav was adjoined to the left line from the side of klipot and he therefore had, the desire to pursue with Dinah. It is said in the Talmud: If Esav took Dinah as his wife, he would have befallen under her good influence, and would have gone in the right direction (to the right, from the left sided klipot), as Dinah came from the good origin of the left line. But Ya’akov refused and hid her from the eyes of Esav. This is why she was then raped by the son of one of the elders of the people among whom Ya’akov and his family lived. Nothing is lost in the 164 spiritual. This illustrates everything that we teach in here. Give your evil inclination an opportunity to serve the Creator. Our goal is to connect both good and evil origins to the light. All that comes from the head down to the waist - is your good origin, which strives to work towards giving, and from the waist down - is your evil inclination, that only wishes to receive. Got that? And both should be involved in the work to give, because both are the integral parts of your kelim. You must first bring your evil inclination to work ONLY on giving without any receipt. And then, it will also be able to receive, but only for the sake of giving - in order to please the higher level, which is in you. ם׃zיwשנs אתוz ךuמיל לz רךr r מו דzת עrלכr לw אותך s סu אֹ נw הsו And the one who convinces you to go with him the path of one mile, walk with him two. יו׃w נw ב פu שwמך א{ ל־תs מz ותs לz א לw ה{ בs ן־לו וuתך תs אz u ל מuה{ שא The one who asks from you, give and the one who comes to borrow from you do not reject him (litt: do not turn his face). ך׃r בs ת־אֹ יr אwאתu נw שsרע‹ך וu s לwבתs { הw אs מ{ ר וƒאr י נz ם כr תsשמ{ עs You heard what is said: “Love neighbour yours and hate enemy yours.” ם׃r יכuדפs ֹבע{ ד רs תפ{ ל‹לוs הz sם( וr יכu אs שנsיטיבו ל z uם הrיכu לsת־מק{ ל s r ר‹ כו אwם )בr יכu בs ת־אֹ יrבו אƒ הrם אrלכw רu י אֹ מzו{א‹ נ And I am saying to you: love your enemies (bless the ones who curse you, and do good to the ones who hate you) and pray for the ones haunting you. It is difficult, extremely difficult to understand and take to heart. After all, everyone projects this to the outside world, and of course, trying to do that which was spoken in this world, will turn into a fallacy, as it is impossible to do without the corresponding spiritual attainment. You have to individually work on the gradual establishment of the need, of the internal urge to have such an attitude towards your “enemy”. Everything that Yeshua is speaking of, is your internal. Who are your enemies? It is already clear, now? We are talking about the most powerful sides of your uncorrected desires, the desire to receive only for yourself. So what does Yeshua say? You have to start loving this desire! Why is it so hard to do for a person? Why does he hate his enemies, which are outside of him, and the enemies which are inside of him, he simply does not notice? Because he hates himself! He does not have any contact with his sitra achra and with his desires to receive. Sitra achra inside of you attaches itself to your uncorrected desires. But it does not conflict with the commandment of Torah : “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”. Yeshua says : If your right eye ( and your right hand ) will entice you ... he is talking about sitra achra approaching you. Notice: an aspect of uncorrected desires - desires to receive for yourself - and the aspect of sitra achra - are two different things. Sitra achra tries to seduce you, and you must be vigilant. Be careful not to be seduced. Exercise vigilance! 165 But here he is talking about “your enemies”. Who is “you”? – It is the desire to give inside of you. It is the part inside of you, which does not allow the desire to receive for the sake of receiving to be transformed into the desire to give – and this is your enemy. And so Yeshua says: "Love them!" Love is chasadim: give them something from chasadim and let them work for the sake of giving. The same thing can happen in our, material world. Earlier in Russia, and also here in the West, I saw situations where people would engage in conflict with one another. When you are next to someone and you feel love inside of yourself, chasadim, than his desire to have a conflict with you disappears, and his hostile temper fades. He will not fight with you, if you do not give him a reason. It is always so. Just look outside: if a drunk man is walking down the street at night and he deeply desires to provoke someone (no matter who it may be) to a conflict. He only desires the one, who reacts to his call. When football fans of a certain team are walking to see the game, then it makes sense for them, as the fans of another football team may have the same desire. But if the other side does not wish to fight, than it won’t happen. The same thing happens inside of a person. Sitra achra, which is inside of you, as like a prosecutor, which points you towards your enemies. Of course, when you wish to see a friend “in your enemy” in this world, than you can right away see his flaws. But when you are armed with the knowledge, that everything, which is outside of you – is the Creator, than nothing from the outside – enemies and such – cannot distract you from your individual work on yourself. This is what Yeshua taught. And what did they do with Him? They humiliated Him in all sorts of ways, but did not see even a bit of resistance from His side! The wholeness of the kingdom of heaven may only be obtained only from the inside. And I have not seen this anywhere else. I have traveled all over the world. I was looking for at least someone from the people of Israel, who was holy. (Of course the nations of the world, have the righteous, but there are no saints there, in the general aspect, there never were and there never will be. As holiness is attracted from Av’I of the world of Atzilut. And who among them can raise MaN to such a holy level?) I wanted to find a man who would have the spirituality from Yeshua, the same emanation of His power, but I have not found A-N-Y-O-N-E! In their vision of the world, all the members of all the groups, distinguish friends from enemies. Jews - our friends , and the rest - the enemies . Freedom fighters- friends, and terrorists - the enemies, etc. And you must always do the following self-analysis: “What about my enemies?” “Is there less of them inside of me?”, When you feel that there are less enemies inside of you, than you are moving forward. Bless those who curse you, do good to-those-who-hate you. Blessing – is always chasadim. And a curse always lies adjacent to the holy left side. About a curse: a person leans left too far, motivated by the desire to attract the light of chochmah below. Attracting the light of chomah underneath chazeh, means, that it will be 166 given to klipot. This is a curse, the power of the curse, lies inside of you. It is the desire to receive “for yourself” and in order to quench this desire. You need chasadim. So give chasadim to your desire. What is the opposite of a curse? - chasadim. When one commits abuse by attracting the light of chochmah, he must be given chasadim. As one is allowed to receive chasadim with the light of chochmah in it, because than it will not go to klipot. Blessing and a curse ... When Ya’akov met Esav, he said: “I have everything,” which means, this is enough for me and I am complete. And how did Esav reply: “I have a lot ", in other words: but I want more and more ... This is the difference between those who are blessed and those who are cursed. And this is why, Yeshua says, “Bless those who curse you." When you say to yourself: “I want more and more," then you must know, that this is a state of a “curse”, and you should give chasadim – the power of giving. 24. BE PERFECT AS YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT ג{םs ים וzדיקz {טיר ע{ ל־ה{ צz מs {{טובים ומ z לs ים וzרעww משו לs שz {ריחsz ר הוא מ{ זr ם א‹ שz יw מw ב{ שrם שrביכz ‹ ים ל{אz נwהיו בs תz מ{ ע{ ןsל ים׃zעwשsרwע{ל־ה So you would be sons for your Father who is in Heaven, as He let shine His sun to evil-ones and to good-ones and sends rain onto the righteous and the evil-doers. This is the law of the kingdom of heaven, given not for the religious reality, which draws a line to divide good-ones, and the other evil-ones, by presenting the desired as real. From the perspective of the Creator, the light shines exactly the same: to both the righteous and the evil-doers. So why doesn’t the light differentiate? Know that any differences come only from the kelim, as the light never changes! Kav of the light descends from Galgalta of Adam Kadmon to the malchut of the world of Asiyah - while throughout, from top to bottom, it is exactly the same and does not change. This means that the light builds kelim, coarsening itself firstly to the level of Keter and this is the world of Adam Kadmon - but inside of it flows the same, unchanging light of EinSof – and then is the coarsening of the keliem of the level of chochmah in the world of Atzilut. And then the world of Briyah – it has the level of binah, etc. Is it clear now? It is the same with kelim of a person: the light remains exactly the same and does not change. Light enters your kelim, and it causes limitations within you, but the light itself knows no limits. When light hits your kelim, you feel the limit of the light, but the penetrating light within you, has no restrictions. Any limitations of light that a person creates: whether he is righteous or an evil-doer - the difference in the taste of the light is felt only inside of the kelim of the receiver, while there are no changes which occur in the actual light. Therefore, Yeshua says, "your Father who is in Heaven, as He let shine His sun to evilones and to good-ones," where "the evil" and "the good" refer to the kelim, which may 167 relate through various angles with the Light. Let’s assume even the fact that it is constantly changing from the side of the kelim. Now, right at this moment it is in the state of evil, but at the next moment it may be good if it brings its kelim to receive the property of good from the above. When the kelim perceive the light as good - than they are good – they are corrected kelim. However when they perceive the Light as evil than this is a sign, that the kelim in their current state are not corrected yet. The whole point is that people should position themselves in relation to light, because the light of the All-high itself does not distinguish good from evil. Put it deep inside of your heart and do not think that you are kind. If you think you have reached the end of your correction, than it means that you do not feel a lack within yourself. Than from whom do you expect to receive the abundance of light, if in your perception you have no chisaron shortage? So rejoice, when you feel chirason, that no one else in the whole world has! As only than you will be able to advance very quickly. Understanding the irrefutable fact that "no one in the world has as many shortfalls as I do" will advance you forward very quickly. Say to yourself: '”I have the greatest shortfalls that no one in the world has”. And why is it so? -Only through your kelim you can realize your true state. Everything that is outside of you is the Creator. From the position of the Creator you are completely filled with light and you have no shortfalls. While the shortfalls should only be felt within your kelim. When you are looking OBJECTIVELY at anyone else outside of yourself, know, that every person is filled with the light of the Creator – and because of that he is perfect. But you see him from your point of view, from your uncorrected kelim, which see him differently, as you see everything only through your own shortfalls. In this way every person must work on himself and to understand, that, that which is outside of himself is the light itself. There exists only the awareness of your own kelim. And you should not project it onto anyone else. Do not say to another person that he is bad. As no one is in the state to enter the kelim of another person! Someone in your eyes maybe be an evildoer, but what do you know of his spiritual state, of his work and the path which he follows? You can only know that which is located inside of your own kelim. Look at it this way: me and the light, me and the wholeness. When I am inside of the light I feel wholeness, and when I feel chisaron than it comes from me and it belongs to only me! What did Yeshua say to a woman who came up to Him, and called Him good? He replied: "No, good is only the Father " - the One Who exists from the existence. Even the Highest Keter was created. Ya’akov said to Esav, “I have everything” - I am satisfied with what I have. “Everything that I have, I received from the good origin, even though I, Ya’akov, have my own shortfalls.” And only against the background of his evil origin he could see, that - that which he received from the good, was “everything” for him… at the given moment. And what will happen tomorrow – I will see, as I will be able to receive for the sake of giving. I worked for twenty years for two nukvas – Rachel and Leah - I built up my kelim, male and female components and this is enough for me. Ya’akov is in the mid line, and Esav from the left. 168 In the holy language Ya’akov said: yesh li hakol – I have everything (in the descriptive translation it’s “enough”). The word “kol” is composed form the letters kaf 20 and lamed 30, to the total of 50. This is yesod of Zeir Anpin with five chasadim 10 in each. While ha in front and connected with kol is malchut. And so the conjunction hakol is the state of zivug between yesod of Zeir Anpin and malchut. It is the perfect zivug, the unity between male and female counterparts of the Higher operational system of the creation. In this way, the meaning of the words of Ya’akov “I have everything” is “I brought yesod of ZA and malchut into unity”. The power of Ya’akov is tiferet of ZA. Now you can see, what it means, that HaShem is shining to everyone equally. And that babble spread by religious or “Kabbalistic” groups it does not matter which one, because every group says: “We will be liberated, while others will not be”. “We will receive the light and the others will not”. “If you do not come to the congress I will not give you any light!” But we are studying the highest laws of the creation, and not some earthly traditions and systems of some imbeciles and this is why you must know, that the light shines equally to everyone and does not discriminate against anyone! This knowledge and attainment will bring you tangible deliverance. Let the energy which you attract, come from the Source of all life, and not from its deviations from Him. We do not need to story of Yeshua – it never helped anybody! Impregnability of the laws of the universe is determined through the path, inscribed by Yeshua and this is the truth and nothing else. You can search the whole world, but you will not find anything like it. סים {יע‹שוֹ ־ז ֹאת׃z sם ‹הל ֹא ג{ם־ה{ מֹ כrרכs ה־ש {כ s {ם מr יכu ת־אֹ ה‹בr ה‹בו אuם־תא s אz יzכ Because if you will love those who you love, what is your reward as also the tax collectors will do so. Tax collectors means the one who receive only for himself. His quality is only to love those, who loves him – egotistical love. And so Yeshua warns us: Do not love only those, who love you. You can also project this onto our world. At work or at any other place, there will always be those, who you like, who are your kind of people. How do you determine that? You look at those, who are kind to you, they invoke good and happy feelings in you and then you “love” them, as they do not create in you the need for individual spiritual work on yourself. But you must be absolutely indifferent to the way that somebody treats you and what kind of impression he leaves on your feelings. And then you shall feel the heaviness, which is the evidence of effort on your part! In this case you shall advance in your spiritual work. “But how can you be next to person, who sees you as your enemy?” You “do not love” him, and this is why you feel uncomfortable, when you are present next to him… Is it possible to change my attitude towards this person? - This is indeed your field of work and for this you shall receive the eternal reward. A reward in a sense that you will correct your kelim, so they will start to work towards giving. Now do you see the practical side of what we are studying? You must go through trial and error every day and 169 then your efforts shall bear fruit. סיםz sם ‹הל ֹא ג{ם־ה{ מֹ כrב ‹חכs ה־ש z { ד מw בsבלz םr יכuשלום א‹ חs zשא‹ לו לs ם־ת z אz sו And if you welcome only your brothers, what is so special about that, also the tax collectors do. ם הוא׃u לw ם שz מ{ יw ב{ שrם שrביכz ‹ ר אrמים כ{א‹ שuz שלs יוƒן הuלכw So be perfect as your Father who is in the Heavens is perfect. In reality he is telling us of the similarity of qualities: to be whole, perfect as is your Father. How can we, I be perfect? How can I become whole? What path to realize our good origin did Zohar suggest to us? And what must we do to achieve it? We learned that malchut has two points and it is necessary to pull malchut over to binah. And when you pull malchut over to binah, she will begin to work towards giving, by obtaining the quality of binah itself. Of course, this is not the end of your spiritual work, because the idea is to recieve for the sake of giving. You must know, that the act of bringing malchut over to binah, takes place in every sfirah. When I say “over to binah”, I mean to first raise malchut over to the binah of keter, and recieve the shortest partzuf of the level of malchut. And than, when you receive more power to work towards giving, you bring malchut to the binah of chochmah and in this way you expand your partzuf. There as a connection between malchut and binah. In this way you make yourself whole and perfect. In this way you will make yourself perfect “as your Father, who is in Heavens.” Heavens is ZA and Father is Aba, which sits on the throne in ZA. In this way malchut will rise to binah and will become the throne of the Father. You must practice this. Learn the method of trial and error – in each state there a place for trial and error, as who falls, is able to get back up. Pay attention: when the lower point of malchut falls down from binah onto her place, than this is a “curse”, caused by the desire to bring down the light of chochmah from the left line down underneath parsa. When malchut unites with binah, than which quality manifests itself at this moment? Binah. There are no restrictions in Binah, so you can receive through her, is this clear? If you connect yourself to binah, than you have the right to receive the light, because you shall receive the light of chasadim with the glow of chochmah. This is the lawful method of receiving and this is what Yeshua is talking about in the phrase: “In this way you – that are inside of malchut – will be perfect as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect”. 170 25. AND YOUR FATHER WHO SEES IN THE HIDDEN, WILL REWARD YOU. ה~ ‹ראות ל‹ה} ם כ† י †אם־כ~ן א~ ין־ ‹לכ}ם ש‹ כ‹ר מ~ א~ ת ”אב† יכ}ם ש} ב• ש‹ מ‹ י† ם׃Š נ~י א‹ ד‹ ם לŠ נ~י בŠתכ}ם ל† פŠ •דקŠ †מרו ‹לכ}ם מ~ ע”שות צŠ ‹ה† ש Guard yourself from doing your tzedakah (charity) in front of people, to be seen by them, as if so there is no reward for you from your Father who is in Heaven. Please notice: that in the holy language tzedakah is ‘done’! It is literally done, as any deed requires the application of enormous effort, because giving something that belongs to us – is contrary to our nature. So if you are giving something and it is easily “given”, than it is not subject to spiritual action called tzedakah. Than you are doing comedy, and the recipient of your action is your own desire to receive! So what does it mean “if so, than there is no reward for you…”? If you give tzedakah and do it so your action will be noticed by other people, than the Creator will simply not see it. And this is because, your father, which is in Heaven, sees only the acts of giving, by the similarity of qualities. And the meaning of what was said is that not every act of giving tzedaka which is done by you – is a truly spiritual act. The true spirituality is in doing good, without expecting reaction or approval from other people. As one of the key reasons that people go to churches and synagogues, is the desire to be noticed. And, of course, they will be noticed in this world. Because each of them sits with such an important look on his face, lost in thoughts of this material world, meanwhile that this is the time when he should be praying! So what is this reward? It is the spiritual perfection, achieved as a consequence of the union by properties with the Father, which is in Heaven. He is Giver, so becoming similar to Him, through His qualities, you should also give. But when you are giving with the desire to be noticed by other, than it is truly an act of receiving for yourself! ה{ ל‹לוs מ{ ע{ ן יsרחֹ בות לs wסיות ובuz נs י כu תwבבs יםzפu ר {יע‹שוֹ ה{ ‹חנr ר כ{א‹ שwיך ב{ שופr נw פsריע{ לz w ה א{ ל־תw קw דs‹שותך צ s ן ב{ עuלכw רםw wשכs תrשאו אws ה נw מuם הrלכw יz ר א‹ נu ן אֹ מu מwשים אwz א‹ נw ם הwאות So, when you give tzedakah, do not blazon out in front of yourself, as will do the hypocrites in the synagogues and on the streets, so the people will praise them, truly I am telling you, they are already carrying their reward. They have received their reward from flesh and blood, and therefore do not need a reward from their Father, which is in Heaven. Their reward – is not in the spiritual, but only in the material. And they are satisfied, as their desire to receive for themselves, is rewarded by honor and glory given by those, who are as blind as they are. ך׃rמינz s ה יw ר עֹ שr ת א‹ שu ך אsשמ ֹאלs ד{ עu ה א{ ל־תw קw דs‹שותך צ s ה ב{ עw א{ תsו And you, when you do tzedakah, let your left side not know what you right side does. 171 How to understand the above? What do the left side and right side mean? Who is the giver? Right – is the line that gives, and left is the line that receives. He is saying, that the left line, which receives, should not know, what the right line does (gives). And as you already know, it is all in one person. You do not need to relate it to other people. Here He is giving the conditions to doing tzedakah: the one who gives, must not be known. In other words, even within yourself, your receiving line should not know who gives to it. Thus if you wish to be, your qualities, like the Creator than your modesty must come from within, from your spiritual and not be paraded to others. And this is the law of the Kingdom of Heaven! The word tzedakah is usually translated as charity or alms . Why does the Torah constantly mention, the importance of giving tzedakah to the poor? What does this mean? And why does Yeshua also emphasize the need to give tzedakah ? Do you remember the episode when a young man came to Yeshua and asked : "What can I do to gain eternal life ? " Yeshua said, “Fulfill the mitzvot , the commandments of the Torah ," that is , "Thou shalt love Hashem with all your heart and all your soul " and other key commandments. The young man replied, “All these I have kept from my youth; What do I still lack? " Yeshua looked at the young Jew and told him, “You lack one thing. Go home and sell their property and give the proceeds to the poor, and then come and follow me, and then you will gain the eternal life.” The young man was grieved because he was very rich, and walked away from Yeshua. A great mystery is hidden here. What does this mean? What will the young man acquire if he sells his external, material assets and distributes the proceeds to the poor? Will they receive any saturation from this? - Of course, they will simply waste and squander the money he gave them and go hungry again. What does the young man achieve if he performs the request of Yeshua with his "hands and feet"? Anyone who understands the words of Yeshua literally thinks he is required to perform some external action. But it does not help. So what Yeshua was referring to? We know that everything is made out of the four-letter name: יהוה. In every act of giving, in every execution of each commandment of the Torah lishma as well as in the study of Kabbalah, it is important to give the required kavanah from within yourself, which is called the tzedakah. How EXACTLY is it possible to determine the tzedakah-kavanah, when it is the giver that gives to the receiver? Tzedakah is the internal spiritual act, an act through which you connect the first two letters with the last two letters of the name יהוה. And thereby proclaim by the powers above and below the unity of the Kingdom of the Eternal One, on earth and in Heavens – in the spiritual worlds. And in this way you bring yourself in accordance with highest spiritual laws of the universe. This is the only thing that the Creator desires from us and for the sake of this we study Kabbalah! This act is what Yeshua is talking about. The study of Kabbalah only HELPS for the sake of this. 172 My great mentor Ari teaches that when someone gives you something - in the spiritual sense, by-the-powers and kavanah – the giver acts as יה, and receiver - as וה. If we consider this an act of tzdekah in general aspect, ie in two bodies, the first person is the giver, and he has an object which he gives – it is represented by the letter יfrom the name יהוה- the light, the pleasure. While his hand, onto which this object is placed, forms the letter ה. The receiver must internally give kvannah, so his stretched out upper part of his hand (the forearm) froms the letter ו, while, his palm, onto which he desires to receive the object which is being given to him, from the second, lower letter הof the name יהוה. So in this way, because of the combined action of BOTH – the giver and the receiver are both, together and glorify the unity of the name יהוהand their act of tzedakah is accepted with a blessing from the above! The same happens in one person: his male counterpart gives to his female counterpart: his “right side gives to his left side”. From this example it is clear that the commandment of tzedakah, giving tzedakah, cannot be performed alone by the giver without the receiver, or by receiver without the giver, but only through the combined action of execution of the commandment of tzedakah, BOTH of them glorify the Name of the GRACIOUS Creator, and bring his property of mercy into our world. When we talk about the two people of flesh and blood, who fulfill this commandment together - this is only in regards to the general aspect. But this is only a external image of what is going on inside of a person – because what we learn here is that everything that Kabbalah and the Torah talk about, takes place within a single person. Everything that we teach is happening in the inner world of one person. And when Ari talks about it, as if it is happening inside of two people, it is only done, so we can understand, while all of it happens – in the spiritual sense – inside of ONE person. The partzuf of a person consists of three parts: the head, the torso and the legs, or rosh, guf and reglaim. All three parts must perform this action, must fulfil the commandment of tzedakah, in order to give praise, honor and glory to the Name of the Creator, in order to allow His power of grace and mercy to enter into the person. At first it enters into his head. Chochmah and Binah in the head are the givers, and the form the letters “yud – hey” of the Name HaVaYaH, while Daat – is the receiver and it from the letters “vavhei” of the Name HaVaYaH. Chochmah, binah and daat together form the complete Name HaVaYaH in the head and in this way a person acquires the quality of HaVaYaH, the quality of mercy and eternal life, in his head. What is HaVaYaH? It is a short form of “hayah, hoveh, yihyeh” : “He was, He is, He will be”. So the person acquires the eternal life in his head, but this is not enough. It is necessary to go further, to obtain enough power and bring it down into his body – into the upper part of the body, into guf, which also consists of four “organs”, elements: chesed and gevurah – are “yud” and “hei” from the name of HaVaYaH and they are givers, and at the same time tiferet – is the receiver and consists of “vav” and “hei” of the Name of HaVaYaH. And the three sfirot together ChaGaT, obtain the full Name 173 HaVaYaH, “yud-hei-vav-hei”, and, therefore the quality of HaVaYaH, His eternal life: “hayah, hoveh, yihyeh: He was, He is, He will be” – in the body of the partzuf. But even this is not enough. A person must obtain one more extra power, because he needs to bring down the Name of HaVaYaH even lower down his mid line, to his legs, to the third, lower part of his partzuf. This part is also composed of four organs. Netzach and hod – are the givers, they form letters “jud” and “hey” of the Name HaVaYaH, while the yesod and ateret yesod, is male and female – and they form “vav” and hey” of the Name HaVaYaH. In this way HaVaYaH may enter into the lower part of partzuf of the person, and go down up until the stop partzuf. Than the eternal life goes down to her – and then the commandment of tzedakah if fulfilled in ONE person! The masses do not realize, what tzedakah, in fact, means and why do the holy books speak so strongly of the need to give tzedakah. And so, we now see that only through the joint action of the giver and the receiver we can draw down the Name HaVaYaH and receive the eternal life. But all of this – happens in one person! When we give alms to someone on the outside, what kavanah does the receiver have? He simply does not understand the meaning of your spiritual action. So when you perform this action in the material world, you must constantly produce the desired kavanah inside of yourself. Imagine that the person to whom you are giving is also you. You should be aware of both aspects, the giver and the receiver. When you give something to someone from the outside; you must understand the action made by the receiver – and that both of your “hands” – the left and the right – honor the Name HaVaYaH in such a way, that you complete the commandment of tzedakah in two different bodies of flesh and blood – and only than it will become a spiritual action, as it is the exact purpose of the Torah and Yeshua: the spiritual act, which person performs, by fulfilling the commandment of tzedakah. ך׃rמלs s גzרים הוא יz wסתs מz { ה בr רֹ אwביך הz w אs ר וr תwתך ב{ סs wדקs zה צrהיs תz מ{ ע{ ןsל So your tzedakah will be in hide and your Father who sees in the hidden will reward you. 174 26. NO PRAYER THAT IS OUTSIDE OF YOU WILL HELP םw דwי אuבנs zראו לuw מ{ ע{ ן יs ים לzקwשוs { נות הzובפ s סיותuz נs י כu תwבבs םwמדs wבעs לuתפ{ לs הz s‹בים לz אֹ הw ים הzפuהי {כ ‹חנz ל־ת s {ל אuתפ{ לs תz יz כsו רם׃w כw שs תrשאו אws ה נw מuם הrלכw יz ר א‹ נu ן אֹ מu מwא And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites who love to pray by standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the market squares in order to appear in front of the people, truly I am telling you that they are already carrying their reward. What does this mean “they are already carrying their reward”? Their reward is that someone out there from the outside looks at them and admires them. In Amsterdam , one of the leading rabbis always emphasized that when visiting a synagogue, a man must first come in front of others or surround himself with people, and only than he should begin his prayer. It is their desire and it is the same as it was 2000 years ago. Nothing changed in their level of spiritual development! They are still coming out on the streets, in their prayer shawls, so that others can see them. Their desire is still to receive honours, and to appear in front of the people, and not in front of the Creator. And they already “carry” their reward – as they receive their reward from to one who is as they are – dead. That is, from a man, who lives today, and as you may look tomorrow... and he is not there anymore! And this is what they receive instead of eternal life. But why does Yeshua use the word ‹שאוŠ נ, and not ‘receiving’? “To carry” – means to carry a sin! As their desire is directed towards the “reward”, honour, from that “which exists from nothing”, instead of turning to the Source of all life. And this is why, the sin of hypocrisy is disproportionately heavier than any other sin! As on the outside, a person is making it look like he is serving the Creator, meanwhile he is lying inside of himself, as opposed to any other sin where a person internally knows that he is doing evil, even though he might be justifying it to himself. Let’s take, for example a murderer: he intentionally commits his evil and he always knows what he is doing. Meanwhile a hypocrite displays himself to be different, than he actually is – and this is why his evil is much harder to detect. In our world, it is impossible to distinguish a righteous man from a villain. Only the Creator Himself sees and hears the individual heart of a man. While all kinds of groups – are a bunch of hypocrites. As their most prized desire is to be appreciated by their comrades. Now look at what Yeshua is saying! But nobody follows his teaching. The followers of 175 Christianity are doing everything except what Yeshua really taught. But the one who believes in Yeshua (and not in the church!) must unexceptionable follow everything that Yeshua teaches, and not loudly proclaim meaningless words and phrase like: “I believe in Jesus!”, and to regularly visit some church, in order to show to his neighbours and brothers in faith his dedication to their group. And there is no difference, whether the person goes to a church, synagogue or a bakery to grab a bag of cookies. As right after the service he is hungry again. So listen to the words of Yeshua. And they will help you, as to allow your Father (and not some group Father!), which is in the heaven to hear you, and not some other people, the other “black boxes’. In this you shall find the essence of prayer. רים הואz wסתs מz { ה בr רֹ אwביך הz w אs ר וr תw ר ב{ סrביך א‹ שz w ל־אrל אuתפ{ לs הz sדך וs {תך ב{ עws דלs וסגֹ ר s רךs דs rבחs ל בואuתפ{ לs תz יz ה כw א{ תsו ך׃rלsמsגzי And you when you will pray, enter into your room and close your door behind you and pray to your Father who is in the hidden, and your Father who sees in the hidden will give you. Into the perception of each person comes his own guardian. Guardian – is the light, which a person pulls to his central point, to the point where he must come back to. Each individual has his own light, together with the shared light. The truth is, that a person stands under protection and control of his own highest root and with this he can grow and develop. But there is no other prayer to your guardian angel, other than through your individual knowledge of the Operational System over all the aspects of your soul, and not through the search of some crumbled up prayer, created by one or another gang of religionists! The fact that you are looking for the way to connect to your guardian angel is commendable! “But how do I look for him” you will ask, “if not through a certain prayer – “the-formula-spell”? If you are looking for some formula/spell, to make you feel ‘good’, than you are like a person who is asking to give him a ‘feel good shot’, and then he is happy, he is ‘up in the sky, singing with the angels’, or he goes to a gathering of some group, no matter which one – it is the same effect. He is looking for a ‘feel good shot’ outside. Why does he need individually work on himself? Why does he need to suffer? Because he got separated from his guardian angel. No prayer will help, unless it comes up as MaN to the higher: to ZoN. And no matter how many prayers you memorize – it’s empty: as everything depends on your kavanah, and it must be ONLY lishma, for the sake of the Creator. The entire point, the kavanah of the prayer – is to bring ZoN of the world Atzilut to into zivug. And this is because, before galut, before the exile and the destruction of the temple ZoN was continuously located in a zivug, and after that, each and every one of us must bring them into zivug. 176 The true prayer is given only INDIVIDUALLY! The help from the Creator comes only based on the sincerity and power of the request, the prayer of the internal man. Pleads of the external person are like the screams and cries of a little child, to which no one pays any attention to. As there is no right intention and power in them, meanwhile the intention and power are the essence of the internal motion. Within a limited area of about 2 x 2 meters around a person, he can raise up to his root and into the higher realms. His root – is his guardian angel. And this personal angel reports to the light in a higher realm and so on until the Infinity. 2 x 2 m – is the measurement of the area, inside of which the person can and must make his corrections. His personal territory of 2 x 2 is like a pillar of radiance around a person, which raises up to his highest individual root. Can you tell me, out of all those who pray, who knows about it? Which worshipper has this one, correct kavanah? Only the one, who studies Kabbalah for the sake of giving, realizes what prayer truly is. The rest of the pleads are like a wild squeal of a child, which desires to receive ONLY for himself: “Give us daily our bread” (what does bread mean in the spiritual?). And what about all their prayers “for others”? Who are those others? Because each community or group prays only for their parishioners, for their Christians, for their Jews, for their Indians, or for their kabbalistic group, etc… the so called prayer for the world – what is the orld” to them? Do these religiously-nationalistic groups exist for the sake of the Creator? Of course not! ONLY the Creator hears the prayers, which come via the internal request, the true MaN, which come from the empty INDIVIDUAL heart which is exhausted by the desire to receive. How is it possible to even set such a goal, to search for some prayer OUTSIDE of YOURSELF, while there never were, and never will be two souls, in the entire creation, which would have one and the same guardian-angel! Only INTERNALLY and through YOURSELF you must find the interconnection. Of course, this connection is achieved through deep studies of the Highest Operational System! “But how can I feel this connection, even if only by a little bit NOW, and not when I will perfectly know all the spiritual laws of the Universe?” And here I want to give you, here and now, a little hint so you could start looking for your connection not in some prayer (of course Ari has special prayers, made exactly for this purpose, but they are too tough for us now, and this is why we will look for a shortcut, which will surely bring you to what you seek). There is a place “underneath you” this place – is the source of your sin. This is the lowest point, where the result of your sin rests, no matter whether or not it is your sin, or 177 something that you must correct in this incarnation, so to speak “for yourself and for that other guy”- from the previous incarnations. So your approach must be such: you must internally look UP, and at the same time feel the LOWEST point – that place, which you are capable to endure, in such a way that you ENDURE it and remain happy! Once again: internally you focus your vectors of power up, while the feeling of your kelim, in the opposite direction, you attach it to that lowest point “underneath you”, which you can feel as pain. The lowest point – is the place, where the result of your ROOT sin rests. And if you are looking up WITHOUT feeling the place “underneath you” – the place “of all evils and all good”, than you will never find your guardian angel! It is a very a subtle concept “underneath you”, and it is the secret of all secrets! No one talks about it, no one writes about it, no one discusses it. It is very scary to look into the place “underneath you”! The entire human race, including all the religionists and other groupies, is prepared to make any sacrifices, any yeshivat chaverim, as long as they don’t have to INDIVIUDALLY work on this place “underneath themselves”! And every time, that you decent even lower into the place “underneath you” – you come even closer to your guardian angel. But you are allowed to go down there only on one condition, that every time you go down there you must DEAFEAT the pain – which means that you are ready to endure, unimaginable pain. This is not a simple agreement you make with your lips by saying “Yes, I agree”, it must be felt and it must be a true agreement. Such an agreement becomes true. When it begins to hurt, and then it hurts more, and more, and every time you have more and more power to endure and finally that pain turns into pleasure! And than every time you come back to life and defeat death, you come closer to the feeling of eternal life! There is an old Russian folk tale – “The Tale of Kashchey the immortal” – It is a very interesting tale. So this “Kashchey” – is sitra archa, and his nickname is “immortal” – however his immortality is relative, because the idea of the tale is that he is actually mortal. But his death is hard to reach. “Over the mountains, over the dales, behind 39 lands, in high valley, etc… And so there, in this hard to reach place, a box is hidden, inside of that box is a needle. And so in the needle lies the death of the Kashchey (so in it lies to place of death Kashchey!) This place of “Kashchey” is the place “underneath you”, where the origin, the root and the consequence of your sin lie. The box with the needle, which determines that status of Kashchey: whether he is mortal or immortal is the place ‘underneath’. And in it lies the repository of these two attributes: life and death. You will reach it by bypassing all these internal pains (which are of course possible to overcome, and as time passes, those pains which you have already overcome will feel like mosquito bites, up until you reach a point where they will feel like pleasure!). 178 And so, by being adamant by overcoming this pain, you create a cover for that place “underneath”, you coax it, by correcting the sin of Adam within yourself. And now know, that the power to overcome all this pain, on the way to this place “underneath you”, you will receive INVISIBILY from your guardian-angel. And so the one who finally reaches, this place of “Kashchey” “underneath “and defeats his natural resistance every time – he will see his guardian-angel ABOVE (by the principle: mi-besari echaze eloka – from my flesh I will see the Divine). And then you will move up higher and higher, up until, the one, unchangeable state of IMMORTALITY! Because it is said in the works of Ari that it is required that you pray to the world of Infinity, and not to Atzmuto because Atzmuto has no connections with the created. As the connection of the Creator with the created starts from the world of Inifinity, where His Name is located, kli malchut – the root of creation. This Name – kli malchut in the world of Infinity, is called “migdal male kol tov” (the tower, full of all good). This is why we pray to His Name, in order to receive all that is in Him – as this is prepared for us. This is why keter is called the desire to please the creation. And keter is called “the infinity” and “the Creator”. While the abundance is called chochmah. But chochmah is not the creation, because it does not have the complete kli, but it is defined as light without kli. This is why chochmah is also defined as the Creator, because it is impossible to realize the light outside of kli. The entire difference of keter from chochmah lies in the fact that the root of creation is more deeply revealed in chochmah. Meanwhile in binah – it is revealed more than in chochmah, etc… And finally, in malchut the root of creation is revealed the most. This is why we need to study this, which we are studying in Lurian Kabbalah. As through the Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven we reveal the root of the creation, kli keter. While by studying the Torah lishma, we reach a great revelation of the root of creation – kli daat (including its components binah and chochmah). And through the Zohar – we reach a higher revelation of the root of creation - kli tiferet. And finally by studying the books of Ari (especially Etz Chaim) the biggest revelation of the root of creation is reached – namely kli yesod. And so, during the gmar tikun, the root of the fifth stage of the Mashiach will open up and then “each flesh shall see the Creator” – “Flesh” – is the malchut – the embodiment of the root of creation in all of its glory and fullness. 179 180
