Why does the Light always exit in four stages when AK doesn’t always take in four levels of Light? For example, AB only takes in three levels of Light. SAG, only two.
In other words, if I can only afford to eat at the salad bar on the second floor, that means I’ve only gone up one floor. To leave I’d just have to go down one floor to the first floor where the peanut stand is, and then out the door.
There are always 5 phases, or 4 if we don’t count the level of Keter. Even though we don’t always mention them, there are always 5. Sometimes we speak of Rosh, Toc, Sof – like we can say a person consists of mind and heart. Sure, there’s more to him than that. It’s shorthand, to focus on what is important right now.
Hi Giannia,
The light movement is quite dynamic on AK’s partzuf, might need material world examples to corelate with the light, btw after we build tzimtzum Aleph, we need to adopt the partzuf of AK’s (Galgalta,Ab and Sag) into our filters in the mind? So its from right to left mindset, or we work with left to right? AYBA AK, trying to incorporate into material world, so i have a little understanding.
Hi Fou Lu,
This can’t be understood at all in the direction you’re thinking. We just need to try to understand the general picture of what’s going on here, and by that, to draw the Reforming Light. We don’t have these systems in our mind in some way, any more than a cat has advanced physics equations in his mind. We don’t grasp that our mind is a brute calculator, unable to fit any spiritual concept inside. Where do we come in, in this picture? Get to the end of these videos and you’ll see. But it’s not in AK – that’s before the point of our root, which is the Shattering, which you still need to get to in the next video. We have nothing of Ak in our minds, and nothing related to it in our world.
I am trying to cross t’s and dot all i’s, would you happen to know what these acronyms are?
AB
SAG
MA
BON
I am looking for why we call them this shortened version, if they are not acronyms what do the Cabalist get these terms from? Is there an original word/s?
Thank you
Hi Richard,
These are neither abbreviations nor acronyms. These are their names. A name comes from the way the letters (which are Kelim/vessels) are formed in order to match the Light that can fill that vessel.
Even without Tagin and Nekudot. Baal HaSulam translated many texts out of Aramaic and into Hebrew, without those. Aramaic is the opposite of Hebrew, representing the Kelim, while Hebrew represents the Light. They compliment each other. However, for our purposes we don’t need the Aramaic nor the Tagin and Otiot. In that there are more details, however we need to concern ourselves not with advanced details but with attaining the very first dot. Meaning the first spiritual Kli. Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA, BON, though, are important names that can’t be changed or translated. We have to get to know them as-is.
