Hebrew translation:

Tikkun 69 – 60

From time to time I get emails asking for actual Zohar translation. So here is one.

Below is a literal translation of this Zohar section. The actual commentary follows. I gave it here just as examples of how it is almost impossible to translate the Zohar into something comprehensible in another language.

– Literal Zohar Translation
On that time, what was “I am sleeping” in Exile, and her pulse elevated, her completion. On that time it was said on the Shechinah “and my heart is awake”. For the awakening of the Redemption and on that time the Holy Spirit is blowing in her. At times that the Holy Spirit is not blowing then storm wind is blowing in the left ear of the heart and could confuse the world.
And that what is said “here is a stormy wind comes from the North”, that make the body of man in stormy condition. As it said “from the north, the opening of evil”.
On that time the world is in control of spirits, demons, evils and negativity that harm and corrupt the world. The are angels of terror. This is the pulse of the illness that risen in the fire of hell, which is spleen and heat-up the body of man, with it “and they made their life bitter”, as the limbs are Israel. “with hard work”, this is the liver that is heavy on the arteries of the blood. “With materials and bricks”, this is white mucus that is heavy on the man. From it come out bad sickness that is the “wicked water” that take over his limbs.
– End of literal translation

When we finish the global Tikkun, the ‘Pulse’ of light will be elevated and the Shechina that was in a ‘sleep’ state will be awakened for the Final Redemption.

The light will be revealed but the negative side will still be coming from the left and will try to confuse the world with false messages. They will ‘attack’ all people to take all light available for them to hold in existence for a longer time.

After Jacob and Joseph passed away, the Egyptians wanted to take over all the light of the Israelites.
Exodus 1:14
“ וַיְמָרְרוּ אֶת-חַיֵּיהֶם בַּעֲבֹדָה קָשָׁה, בְּחֹמֶר וּבִלְבֵנִים, וּבְכָל-עֲבֹדָה, בַּשָּׂדֶה–אֵת, כָּל-עֲבֹדָתָם, אֲשֶׁר-עָבְדוּ בָהֶם, בְּפָרֶךְ”
“And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.”

The forces of negativity will attempt to take over the physical levels to control the human body.

Like at the time of the First Redemption from Egypt, so it will be the Final one. The hardship and pain will be to cleanse us from the last negativity that is still attached to us.

Hebrew translation:

Tikkun 69 – 59

When the time comes, Moses will open the way for Mashiach to come down to the world. He will bring together the right and left columns into the central column.

Isaiah 63:12
“מוֹלִיךְ לִימִין מֹשֶׁה, זְרוֹעַ תִּפְאַרְתּוֹ; בּוֹקֵעַ מַיִם מִפְּנֵיהֶם, לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ שֵׁם עוֹלָם”
(I erased the totally misleading translation and replaced it with the kabbalistic meaning. Zion)
“Lead the Right to the arm of Tiferet. Create opening in the water in front of them to make for him everlasting name.”

Exodus 3:15
“יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵיכֶם אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב, שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם; זֶה-שְּׁמִי לְעֹלָם, וְזֶה זִכְרִי לְדֹר דֹּר”
“YHVH the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations”
This is the message God instructed Moses to bring to the Israelites.

Moses is telling them that YHVH controls the three channels of lights opened by Abraham (Right, Chessed), Isaac (Left, Gevurah) and Jacob (Central, Tiferet) and he, Moses, is the messenger of the Redemption.

YHVH is the name that represents the entire Creation and his memory, which is the aspect of connection to Malchut and The Shechina is for all generations. The word for generations that is used here is דר דר, with numerical value of 408, same as זאת, which is the aspect of the Shechina.

Genesis 29:27
“מַלֵּא, שְׁבֻעַ זֹאת; וְנִתְּנָה לְךָ גַּם-אֶת-זֹאת, בַּעֲבֹדָה אֲשֶׁר תַּעֲבֹד עִמָּדִי, עוֹד, שֶׁבַע-שָׁנִים אֲחֵרוֹת”
“Fulfil the week (Seven) of this (זאת) one, and we will give thee the other (זאת) also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.”

Rachel’s father, Lavan, tried to ‘trick’ Jacob, giving him Lea instead of Rachel so he can use him for another seven years. Lea came before Rachel and was supposed to be given to Esau. Lea was at the level of Binah and Rachel knew that. She supported the ‘plan’ of ‘tricking’ Jacob so he would have connection to Lea, Binah and upper H ה and later with her, Malchut and the lower letter Hה of the name.

Jacob as central column, Tiferet and the letter Vav ו of the name which now holds the key to the Final Redemption. Joseph as Yessod, ‘bridges’ ו Zeir Anpin and Malchut and above him is Moses as Daat with the key to release the light from the upper levels to the lower seven through the central column.

So the verse above reveals us Jacob’s Tikun process that is also the setting for the Final Redemption.

Moses was Jacob’s great great grandson and has merited having immortality, a blessing that continued from Jacob who as a chariot of the central column has control on life.

Rabbi Shimon’s work gave him similar control over life and could achieve immortality. He left the world only because he was asked to do so. He could’ve completed the Tikkun of the whole world but then we would have stayed with ‘bread of Shame’. He left so we can complete our own Tikkun leaving us with his life’s work and energy, the Zohar.

Hebrew translation:

Tikkun 69 – 57

Isaiah 10:2
“וְנָחָה עָלָיו, רוּחַ יְהוָה–רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה, רוּחַ עֵצָה וּגְבוּרָה, רוּחַ דַּעַת, וְיִרְאַת יְהוָה”
“And the spirit of YHVH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHVH”

The four ‘spirits’ are the aspects of the angels Michael, Gabriel, Nuriel and Raphael that ‘wrap’ us with protection from four directions.

The Zohar explains the spirit of Mashiach as it was prophesized by Isaiah.
Spirit of YHVH is the Keter from the world of Atzilut. Wisdom (Chokmah) and understanding (Binah) are the Sefirot that follow it.

The spirit of counsel (Chessed) and might (Gevurah) are right and left.
The spirit of knowledge (Daat) and of the fear of YHVH (Tiferet) and Malchut.

The wheels of the upper chariot has three levels, Seraphim that are for the Chessed (Right) and Gevurah (Left), Living Creatures for the torso (Tiferet) and penis (Yessod) as the central column. The Holy Wheels are for the right and left legs that drive the body to all directions.

When the spirit of Mashiach is revealed, the angels from all levels, will be coming with him to remove all negativity from the world. He will open the gates of all worlds above, letting the light flow down and give us new life.

Hebrew translation:

Tikkun 69 – 56

The purpose of Creation was to build a world for us where we can become like the Creator.
The name of it is Malchut and it means “Kingdom”.

To create this world, the Endless distanced its light from a middle point, equally to all directions to leave a sphere where there is a lack of light. A line of light from the Endless came down into the sphere to bring life and nourishment to everything that exists in it.

Through several steps the Tree of Life was established and it all comes from the name YHVH that was extended from the Endless, Bless be He.

The initial line/pipe from the Endless evolves into three lines (columns). On the right are Chokmah, Chessed and Netzach. On the left are Binah, Gevurah and Hod. In the center are, Keter, Da’at, Tiferet and Yessod. Just below Yessod is the great beneficiary of light and the purpose of Creation, Malchut.
