Ten Sefirot Class 63

Repetition of Explanation of Circle and Linear

Says Rav Ashlag, the difference between the Circle and the Linear, based on curtain. Linear has one and Circle does not. New language.

Two types of Malchut- one that went under contraction and the other that did not. 10 sefirot of the circular sefirot are coming from Malchut that is being constricted, no massach. The linear sefirot has a massach. The sefirot do not come into existence without the Simsum/constriction, why? Because if we fully understand this, in the Ensof, before the Simsum, everything is one. when do you see the differences between the sefirot? When there is a Simsum. Then you see the 10 sefirot of circle and then you see ten sefirot of the line.

Why the light wants to go to the 4^th phase? Because the emanated is still asking for it. The returning light is going up by binding by striking. Because you create binding by striking. The light does not consider whether constriction or not, because nature of light doesn’t change, it goes down to give to the 4^th phase. The emanated is still drawing that type of light. The light is always at rest, no movement.

Why is the light always resting? Because it isn’t affected by good or bad, the emanated still has a desire. Who gave the emanated the desire? The light. Everything is the light.

Transition of life is to guide you to a place where you can have a connection to the divine in the best way you can. Main idea is to get away from selfish fulfillment, how can I get what I desire selfishly.

What is the purpose of the curtain? To prevent you from receiving OR to reflect the light back to the endless so the light of the endless can be revealed on everything above me. What are you doing when you say no? For example, with Pizza, is it your ego, are you revealing any light, don’t want others to receive it. Here Rav Ashlag teaches us, if the curtain/massach doesn’t reveal what’s above that, there is no sharing, I am still busy with not sharing. Spirituality is not about receiving nothing.

Your existence has to add to someone else. You can only like what you give to, this is the natural element of love. How do you reflect back to the light that is already there to be revealed. Don’t push it back because you want to be holy because not receiving. You are part of building a system. If its just about you then you are disconnecting from the creator because you are doing it for you, and we are here to do it for the divine.

Rav Ashlag is talking about this now because we can get confused that the light is now changing so the light wants to influence more, or the light wants to influence less and the light is now pushing down on the massach

of Pechina daled, 4^th phase. The light doesn’t change, the only change that happens is from the emanated, says don’t want to receive and creates a massach. In that second the emanated has a true desire to receive that upper light, then he sucks the upper light, says Rav Ashlag, like someone who lights from candle to candle, the first candle never misses anything. So, when the emanated wants light, its like he took from upper to lower . the endless light has not been spread more, or amazed or spread less, or going up or going down. Sometimes people have the disease and they think G-d has some issue with that when you do something wrong. You might think that G-d is not happy with you, that is the idol worshiping, worse than the wrongdoing. But the wrongdoing made you think that G-d is angry with you. The wrongdoing is not for the wrongdoing, the wrongdoing is for you to disconnect from G-d and think G-d doesn’t like. This is profound. Baal Shemtov- if you believe G-d never changes, you won. The filter that experience the light is the only thing that changes. We need to be careful when we think if we do extra the light will love me, its by me doing extra, I remove that filter I am sucking the light with that now I will see that everything is the same. It’s always the same. Be busy with what you want and the divine, the rest doesn’t exist.

The idea to understand the endless light  No Change. When we say the light is spread out, it doesn’t mean it spreads, it is always there and always will be there. G-d forbid if you are going through a tough time, you have to disconnect and view from above, it’s a big movie and you are not the director. From the divine POV, no such thing as a good or bad movie, there is a global community. We are going towards the clarity that it is all one, it will just be easier if we get it earlier.

Please remember there is no change at all. After the constriction, what is exactly the Simsum, the Malchut of ensof. What exactly happened? We have different Malchuts, we are talking about Malchut of ensof, starts drawing the upper light, the engine is still working and drawing the light but the Massach is not letting the light to come in. it is delaying the light not to go in, so the light not going in is going back to its roots. And for that reason, the light can only go to the 3 phases, and not to the 4^th because the 4^th has a Massach. That part that cannot go into 4^th phase did not disappear, it becomes greater light, it becomes the clothing of the 3 aspects (1,2,3^rd phase), it reveals what already exists, 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd. Because they cannot reveal themselves, they need some aspect of receiving. Where is the aspect of receiving come, only from the 4^th phase of the emanated. So the 4^th phase of the emanated is the only part that is actually receiving, by pushing it back he has dust of receiving and that fulfill 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd because they don’t have receiving. That Or Chozer/Returning Light, reflection, now becomes the Clee Kabbalah,/Vessel of Receiving, for the three phases of upper light instead of the 4^th phase. So now the way they receive light is going through a whole system, Or Chozer. We learn from that in our life, you can only receive things that you push. Because the things that you want are already here, you dint push them enough that is why you don’t see it.
