Don’t worry, Katrina! You haven’t missed anything logistical. You’ll still be invited to the next round of Young Group when it starts.
Yeah some students are more inclined to the structure of the worlds than others. It’s a different language to discuss the same thing: connection. (This may tell you something about how much we understand Rabash, too). There is value is simply “putting it in your box” learning. Later, one can work with it. But generally, while studying the worlds, we want to try to feel it, as Baal HaSulam says in item 155 of The Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot.
One firmament is called Parsa. Another is Peh of Arich Anpin of Atzilut;Â another, Chazeh of Arich Anpin.
The waters are divided into below and above the firmament. In Katnut, Parsa separates; in Gadlut, reunites them.
The Parsa is a special system, a sophisticated membrane, which blocks the Light, according to precise rules. In Gadlut, the Light of AB SAG illuminates and cancels the Parsa, restoring the conditions of the First Restriction.
There are many more actions around this, some of which Kabbalists describe.
We’re below this system, trying to activate it. And we can move it like the baby’s cry, without the baby needing to think much, activates everyone above. We’re down below the entire system: we’re neither above nor below the Parsa. We’re below all of that. We’re not even in the Klipot, which stand opposite the worlds of BYA of Kedusha. We’re not in that either, but below it. Whatever you can imagine, it’s higher than us; than us, there is nothing lower, nowhere further to fall; only to rise.
It’s true, the worlds all follow the same format, but how that unfolds, and to be able to see that the format is the same, one needs very sophisticated eyes spiritually. For example, no scientist in our world is sophisticated enough to, for example, see that there is a lion, and then a lion flower, and something on the still level of lion qualities, and perhaps something on the human level, let alone something on the spiritual level. Later it will be very simple and clear, but for now, it’s beyond us.
The desires below the Tabur, it turns out, could even use bestowal for reception. So, even bestowal is somewhat restricted, and we have to rise to Equivalence with those kelim that only bestow in order to bestow. This is what’s necessitated by Tzimzum Bet.
About Reshimot there’s nothing more written or to know, not about the one you’re in. Only about spiritual degrees Kabbalists write. All you need to know is that sometimes there’s a spiritual Reshimo, that’s when one is inclined to spirituality, and to realize it maximally. That’s what’s in one’s hands to do.
