There’s no “little bit” in spirituality. It’s all or nothing. Regarding the Kashiut (hardness) of the Screen, it must be able to reject all the Lights to even begin working spiritually. But regarding the Aviut (coarseness) of the Screen, meaning which desires I can use, I could use these desires but not be able to use those desires. But I can’t use half a desire, 20% of a desire.
The place there are these percentages, which Rabash used just as an example, is in Tifferet of the 4 Phases of Direct Light. But that is a whole state. Circular. It is not divided up like Partzufim are later on. It’s just that it is composed of the Vessels from Phase 1 (Hochma) as well as Vessles of Phase 2 (Bina). So it is actually fulfilled if you want to know the truth. It’s fulfilled with Hochma a bit, but the majority is the fulfillment of Hassidim. Maybe forget thee percentages and think of it as a whole state that has this particular character of fulfillment primarily in Hassidim, with a bit of Hochma.
That model of how the Lights enter is general, how the Lights will enter in the process of correction. If we’re looking at the whole structure of Galgalta, it’s not receiving below Tabur, so the most important Kelim remain empty. Above Tabur there really aren’t vessels of reception.
According to the Ohr Yashar (direct light), meaning what is coming to the Kli (vessel) from the Creator, we have to be sure that we can reject all of it, forever. Like I won a billion dollars and I simply send it to some poor people in another country – and it’s gone without any chance of return. This finality is called Tzimzum (Restriction). But in truth, once I send it away with no hope of return, a new angle is revealed whereby – no, the money isn’t really gone. I couldn’t have imagined how, but now, in relation to what I measured in the Creator’s attitude (the “billion dollars”), I check to what extent I can return his attitude, by checking to what extent my wanting to bestow upon Him is equivalent to His attitude towards me. This is Ohr Hozer (Reflected Light). Maybe I can return 3/5 of his attitude, so I receive 3 of 5 Lights – Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama as (Ohr Pnimi), in the Kelim of Keter, Hochma, Bina. And so the Kelim of Zeir Anpin and Malchut remain empty, leaving the Lights of Haya and Yechida outside the Kli as Ohr Makif (surrounding light).
Hi Jeremy,
The Upper Force guarantees that the Plan will be carried out. Like unyielding parents that guarantee their son will graduate the first grade. If not this year, the next. The same activities and tests await him the next year, which he believed he could avoid. The players around him change a bit in each round, but the the inner changes he will have to make in order to pass the grade remain for him to make one way or another. And he has nowhere to go except that grade, there’s no other place suitable for him, since the grade is designed especially for him, the way he currently is, and the corrections he needs. Of course the easiest it will ever be for him to pass, is right now. Next time they will give him a harsher rulership because he is increasingly tardy in his correction. He’s too big for the place he’s in, and his environment too starts to demand his correction in increasingly harsh ways. He as-if wants each time to be as one of the regular first graders but they less and less accept him as just another one of them. This way a person gradually feels a harsher correction environment in life, and that’s why we should not even think about correcting ourselves at some other time, but only now, to realize the Final Correction while we’re still alive in this world.
No, there aren’t such discernments here. We don’t yet have the Inverse Relation of Lights and Vessels that you’re referring to, and the Light is just the Simple Upper Light that fills the whole reality. In Phase 1 it’s the Light of Hochma, according to the Desire of Hochma. In Bina it’s the Light of Bina, or Hassidim. In Zeir Anpin it’s a reawakening of that Desire of Hochma and accordingly it again receives the Hochma Light in 20% and the Light of Hassidim in 80%.
Re-reading your question I see you were not asking about the Four Phases of Direct Light, but after the Restriction. So there we do have the Inverse Relation of Lights and Vessels. What confused me was the 20%/80% part of the question because those discernments relate to Tifferet of the Four Phases. These were the numbers Rabash gave as an example, even though it’s not exactly 20%, but in reality it is much less of the Light of Hochma. The numbers aren’t as important as the concept that we’re using the Kelim of Phase 1 just a bit, and the rest effectively remains mostly empty.
