125 degrees takes into account all 5 worlds – AK, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya – with 25 Partzufim per world. My teacher wrote:
We go through 125 degrees of attainment, from the beginning to the end. Each degree consists of 25 individual Partzufim or states (see Baal HaSulam’s “Beit Shaar HaKavanot”). It turns out that each of the 125 degrees, called a “Sefira,” includes 25 of its own forms, and each of those also includes 25 of its own sub-forms, and so on, until Infinity.
This is impossible to calculate. There is no specific number that can designate them. Only on a higher level, where there are no letters or numbers, can we comprehend all of this diversity, because we will have new qualities and a new mind. Then, the number of forms will turn into a higher quality and we will perceive it naturally and simply.
Therefore, an infinite number of Partzufim, Sefirot, worlds or degrees of spiritual attainment, only seems infinite to our current mind. However, for a spiritual mind, everything is reduced to a simple desire for bestowal and love, where we feel adhesion with the Creator as one whole “I, where we, the Light, and the Creator are One!”
Hi Adelina,
The whole correction is in Atzilut, while Assiya, Yetzira, and Beria are along the way. And there are degrees after Gmar Tikkun, which we don’t discuss – because they’re irrelevant right now, and we haven’t attained those degrees. But here and there, there are hints about it. The Creator has something to do, planned for us after the final correction.
Hi Maria,

I’m sure there will be a role for you once you have completed the graduate program.
Glad to have you here!

Here, fear means fear of not reaching the property of the Creator, that I’m actively concerned about it.
There won’t be any end to it though. Because are endless connections that can be made since everything is interconnected with everything else. There are a few explanations we add because they are relevant to what one needs to do right now to become similar to the Creator, and thus feel the Upper World to the extent that he does so. That particular translation of Adam, to Domeh, is for us to understand that Adam was never a man. Adam means one – and I don’t know what “one” is either – but Adam is one who is Domeh – similar. There is a shared root, and that is mentioned so that I will understand that the man that Kabbalah talks about when it says Adam is not the man that I think I am. It isn’t talking about the advanced animal that we call man. For him, creation was not created and there’s nothing special about him, nor anything waiting for him. But if he becomes Adam – that is, Domeh, similar to the Creator (that is, opposite to what he is from birth – a receiver for his own benefit), that is, if he becomes a bestower like the Creator, through the Reforming Light that he draws through the correct study of Kabbalah, then he becomes the Adam that Creation was created for.
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.
