      It says there are five partzufim, AA, AVI, and ZON. Why are Aba and Ima paired, as well as Zair Anpin and Nukva? Do I get it right, that this is „Father and Mother“ (AVI) and „son and daughter“ (ZON)? In how does this refer to their qualities? Is this about complementing each other?

      • #442935

        There is a complimentary relationship between these parts. But don’t get married to these definitions as they are flexible, based on the degree. For example, ZON can also be husband and wife. But the relationships from Above to below and from below to Above are relatively always the same. So, AVI are always the Upper of ZON, and ZA is always the Upper toward Nukva. Aba is always the Upper One toward IMA. This roots are eternal.

      Hi Gianni, I listened to the first part of the morning lesson, and we also read Shamati 34 in the ten.  And I felt it was both about „faith“. How can we combat the fear of loosing faith ( especially in the face of knowing that horrible things are happening in corporeality?) Itś not about questioning the creator in being the good that does good, but about the fear of not being strong enough to maintain this perception, or even get back to it. The fear of loosing faith and getting completely lost. In Shamati 34 it says itś „double torment“. And that is exactly how it feels to me. But what is the remedy?

        If you fear this, essentially anything close to spiritual, that’s already half the remedy, so much so that my corporeal fears are only so I’d transmute them into spiritual fear.

      Hi Gianni,

      When we recognize our evil inclination, or our disparity of form, what do we do with it? Besides asking the Creator to help us be like Him. Also, does that ever go away? Or would this fall under “do not believe yourself until the day you die”

       

      thanks !

      Are we supposed to be merging with other tens?  If we are not supposed to merge with them is it ok to have meetings with them?  We have had meetings with other tens and my ten is on fire about it but I fear it may not be time for this from what I understand.  So is it time?

      A couple months or so in the lesson the said to:   Connect to the morning lesson once a day, connect to the ten once a day, and do some dissemination once a day.  It got me thinking what is dissemination.  For instance I would like to learn Hebrew, if I learn Hebrew with the intention of translating for friends in the future is that dissemination?  Do we not already disseminate in the ten now?

        Dissemination is a job I’m directed to do, and I carry out. That way, it’s sure that the benefit takes place somewhere beyond my skin, according to a need that is not defined by me. It’s also typically not something that will only bear fruits years from now, but something quick and current.

      I’m reading in the article The Two Great Lights 2, it’s about this passage:

      In the beginning, the Nukva was inscribed above, in ZA, in the letters of the holy name HaVaYaH, in the fourth letter of the name, for the Nukva was the bottom Hey of HaVaYaH when she was on the same degree with ZA. Afterward, she diminished herself into being called by the name Elokim.

      I remember somewhere in the creation story, there was said “let us make…” – can you tell me please where I can find that text, in order not to guess? Were 3 Elokims who made the world? If yes, then it seems like the deception (also projection, and even concealment?) began earlier than the one of the serpent. Adam was made whole, and then there came the split by making Eve, for the reason Adam shouldn’t be “alone”, but he wasn’t, he was the created being the Creator wanted him to be in order to receive the His love He wanted to share. That split made Adam alone and actually separated him from the Creator and from receiving the love – what was actually the oposite of what God wanted. And then I had the thought that a light particle is both, light and matter, but it acts like matter trough… Were the Elokim – which are below the actual Creator – corrupted calling themselves Creator? Is THIS the deception of which we have to liberate us from?

      Because I don’t wanna pray to the top management, my prayers are for the CEO…

        This is discussed in this book https://www.amazon.com/Zohar-annotations-Ashlag-Commentary/dp/1085959058, a commentary on the Zohar based on conversations Rav had with Rabash. I don’t think it’s suitable to answer questions about different pieces of this text because it’s supposed to be studied only to draw the Reforming Light. The commentary itself is already all the answers that are possible. If you read this commentary it will sort out many things.
