Pinchas 402-405

The ‘Faithful Shepherd’, Moses, calls Rabbi Shimon ‘Holy Light’ and praises him for his previous teaching. He adds that the brain is water, that is Chassadim and the aspect of Chokmah of the right. The heart is fire that is judgment and the secret of Chokmah of the left column of Binah. Together they bring mercy and judgment. The brain is the throne of Mercy and the heart is a throne of judgment. The Holy one Bless be He, is a king that stands on a throne of judgment that is the heart and sits on the throne of Mercy, that is the brain.

Esther 7:7
“וְהַמֶּלֶךְ קָם בַּחֲמָתוֹ, מִמִּשְׁתֵּה הַיַּיִן”
“And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine”

Our involvement with different kinds of negativity build up impurities in the body and the King that usually sits in his throne in peace, raises with anger. It is an automatic effect that is caused by our negativity. The wine in the verse above, is the aspect of the Torah. When the wings of the lungs blow, the anger is calmed.

Esther 7:10 “וַחֲמַת הַמֶּלֶךְ, שָׁכָכָה”
“Then the king’s anger subsided “

When the negativity is removed or sweetened with Chassadim, the aspect of judgment disappears and the King is back into peace. The words ‘subsided’ שָׁכָכָה has the numerical value of 345, same as the name מהש for healing. Kabbalistic gimatria brings the spelled name מהש as equal to the word חיים ,’Life’. (For those who understand it, Hebrew explanation below)

To remove illnesses and judgments from our soul and body , we need to draw light of Chassadim that will balance the blood and maintain healthy soul in a healthy body.

The deep study of the Torah that we do through the Zohar help us in achieving the necessary balance in our lives. Some souls have stings of judgments connected to them from previous lives. The continuous prayers and meditations, especially of the Shema Yisrael prayer will transform the judgment to positivity sooner or later.

Hebrew translation:

400. בֹּא וּרְאֵה, הַלֵּב הֲרֵי נֶאֱמַר, אֲבָל לֵב זֶה הוּא אֵשׁ שֶׁשּׂוֹרֵף, וְאִם לֹא שֶׁהִזְמִין אֵלָיו הַמֶּלֶךְ הָעֶלְיוֹן אֶת כַּנְפֵי הָרֵאָה, שֶׁמְּבִיאִים לְפָנָיו הָרוּחַ מֵרוּחַ שֶׁנּוֹשֶׁבֶת מִתּוֹךְ בְּשָׂמִים עֶלְיוֹנִים, הָיָה שׂוֹרֵף אֶת הָעוֹלָם בְּרֶגַע אֶחָד.
401. פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (בראשית יט) וַה’ הִמְטִיר עַל סְדֹם וְעַל עֲמֹרָה גָּפְרִית וָאֵשׁ. מַדּוּעַ שָׂרַף אוֹתָם? מִשּׁוּם שֶׁכַּנְפֵי רֵאָה לֹא נָשְׁבוּ בְּאוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה. וְהַסּוֹד שֶׁל כַּנְפֵי הָרֵאָה, זֶה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים סח) כַּנְפֵי יוֹנָה נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף. וְאֵלּוּ הֵם רְפָאֵל וְצַדְקִיאֵל. וַעֲלֵיהֶם נֶאֱמַר (תהלים קד) עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת, לְנַשֵּׁב תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ (הַלֵּב).

Pinchas 400,401

Rabbi Elazar tells his father, Rabbi Shimon, that he heard the explanation on the external organs of the body and asked him to reveal the secrets of the internal organs.
Rabbi Shimon replied and said that the internal organs carry secrets of the higher levels and begins the explanation.
The heart is a fire that burns everything and if God didn’t make that lungs that cool it with the air (winds) that blows in them, the world would have been consumed in one moment.
Genesis 19:24
“וַיהוָה, הִמְטִיר עַל-סְדֹם וְעַל-עֲמֹרָה–גָּפְרִית וָאֵשׁ: מֵאֵת יְהוָה, מִן-הַשָּׁמָיִם. ”
“Then YHVH caused to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHVH out of heaven ”
The Zohar asks why did God burned these cities and answer that because the wings of the lungs did not blow air on that time.

The heart is controlled by the left of Binah. The lungs is the aspect of the Right column, Chessed and without Chassadim

Psalms 68:14 “כַּנְפֵי יוֹנָה, נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף; ” “the wings of the dove are covered with silver ”

Psalms 104:4
“עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת; מְשָׁרְתָיו, אֵשׁ לֹהֵט. ”
“Who makes winds his messengers (Angels), the flaming fire his ministers.”

The wings = the lungs, the dove is the aspect of the soul that receives the life force trough the air that blows in the lungs, covered with silver is the secret of the angels Raphael רפאל and Tzadkiel צדקיאל that bring the light of Chassadim with healing and salvation through the right column (Silver).

The light from the left column is direct light and our soul is not able to hold on to it on the level of Malchut. It is considered darkness as we explained in DZ 1209. We must have protection in the form of Light of Chassadim that comes by forming a proper vessel. Light of Chokmah is similar like drug overdose. It can bring a great pleasure but the body cannot handle it and the soul leaves the body. Our lungs and breathing process provide the necessary restriction of receiving and returning to be able to absorb and sustain life in the physical level.

This Zohar section begins the “Internal Organ” article. It describes the light that is connected to the different inner organs. Studying it with pure consciousness connect our organs to the light that the Zohar revealed and influence purification of the body from negativity.

Pinchas 397-399

The five supporting leaves of the Lily hold the inner thirteen into one root. The Zohar tells us that the first five words of the Shema Yisrael “שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה” “Hear, O Israel: YHVH our God, YHVH” is the aspect of the five leaves and the five sefirot as we study earlier. The sixth word, “אֶחָד”, “is One”, is the root. Numerically 13 and it is the secret of the ‘ring’ of the King.

Rabbi Ashlag in his commentary explains that the five sefirot is testimony to the supernal unification of Zeir Anpin and Malchut. The five sefirot is the aspect of the vessel and the 13 attributes is the essence of the Light that fills the vessel.

Shema Yisrael “שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל” is Netzach and Hod, “יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה” is Chessed, Gevurah and Tiferet. “One”, “אֶחָד” is the aspect of the unification of Malchut and Zeir Anpin. Their unification reveals the 13 attributes of Mercy and that is why the numerical value of “One”, “אחד” is 13.

Malchut is called the “Ring of the King”
Ring טבעת has the root טבע, meaning ‘Nature’ also the process of ‘sinking’ in a shape into something else. A coin is called ‘מטבע’ that means a form is shaped onto the metal unit by external force to give it a specific shape and ‘value’.
The numerical value of the word “הטבע”,”The Nature” is equal to אלהים, ‘God’.

Another aspect of ring טבעת is a circular element that is the aspect of the Endless. The entire universe (Malchut) is operated in a circular aspect motion, energy, beginning with the atoms and ends with galaxies in the universe.

The King has a crown that is also circular above the head. The word for crown in Hebrew is כתר, ‘keter’ that means “Encirclement”. The light of the Endless is in the circle encircling the entire creation. Keter is also the aspect of every beginning where the energy/force that defines it is born and included within it. Simple example; The thought of writing a book or build a house or a city or a chocolate muffin is the aspect of Keter of the everything that follows it in the process of manifestation.

“One” is described as ‘the ring’ that is the force that activate and holds the unification of Malchut and Zeir Anpin with the Light of the Endless that is the ‘King’, Keter of Creation.

Song of Songs 5:2
” אֲנִי יְשֵׁנָה, וְלִבִּי עֵר; קוֹל דּוֹדִי דוֹפֵק, פִּתְחִי-לִי אֲחֹתִי רַעְיָתִי יוֹנָתִי תַמָּתִי–שֶׁרֹּאשִׁי נִמְלָא-טָל”
” I sleep, but my heart waketh; Hark! my beloved knocketh: ‘Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew”

We are in a sleep state but our hearts is awake. we are able to hear the Creator ‘knocking’ on our doors expecting us to open up our vessel (the five outer leaves of the Lily). When we do open up, the Light will connect us to the 13 attributes.

טל, ‘dew’ of the verse above has the numerical value of the spelled YHV letters יוד-הא-ואו. It is the force that will come down to Malchut and awaken the ‘dead’ in the process of the Resurrection.

When the Israelites in Malchut connect to the left column then they are in darkness but when they connect to the right column they create the central column and reveal the Light.

Song of Songs 2:2 ” כְּשׁוֹשַׁנָּה בֵּין הַחוֹחִים” ” As a lily among thorns”

The Israelites are like a Lily among the thorns that is the aspect of the other nations of the world. As long as the Lily is closed and its scent is not yet revealed, it is left alone. The Zohar is like the ‘Dew’ that awakens the ‘lilies’ that is scattered among the ‘thorns’. When the Lily opens up and reveal its beauty, the scent is spread out and it is picked out of the thorns.

With the power of the Zohar Israelites could open up their soul and hearts to the light. The ‘scent’ is spread up for the Light to connect us to him with the 13 attributes of Mercy.

If you are reading this then your ‘lily’ is probably open to a certain degree. There are more lilies out there waiting for us to share the ‘dew’ (Zohar) and resurrect their souls. The world will smell different.
The sages tells us that when Mashiach comes the air will be filled with a special scent.

Pinchas 394-396
Continue form previous DZ

While the students were studying, an eagle came to them with a lily, dropped it in front of them and left. They were in joy and Rabbi Pinchas said that this was a testimony to the Creation of the worlds.

This lily has five leaves on the outside and thirteen on the inside. They all have one and same root, which is Yessod of Zeir Anpin that channels the thirteen attributes of Mercy to Malchut.

The five base leaves of the Lily is the aspect of the fifty gates of Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach and Hod of Binah. Each of them includes 10 Sefirot and that brings the count of the Sefirot to five hundred. Each Sefira is also called a ‘Year’ שנה. This is the reason why the height of the Tree of Life is said to have a height of 500 years.

The Zohar reveals to us that the entire Creation is held by the 13 attributes of God’s mercy and the five Sefirot Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach and Hod. These five define the essence of the vessel and in the large picture, the entire creation.

The first three words of the Torah (Genesis 1:1) are “בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים” “In the Beginning God created.” The following 13 words are the aspect of the 13 attributes
“אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ” (The 13 words).
The English translation is insignificant in this study and are given here for verse reference only.
“the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit…”

We skip the word “אֱלֹהִים”, ‘God’ because it is the creator. The next five words until the next “אֱלֹהִים” are the aspect of the five Sefirot explained above.
“מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם וַיֹּאמֶר ”
“ hovered over the face of the waters”

We, again, skip the word “אֱלֹהִים” and we see “יְהִי אוֹר”, “Let there be Light” that is the root of the ‘Lily’ and all levels come from it.

When the eagle arrived to the great darkness he descended with King Solomon under his left wing. Then he stood on the chains that held Azah and Azael in their place. Solomon took a ring with a holy name and placed it in the eagle’s mouth. At that time the chained angels revealed to King everything he desired to know about the secrets of the spiritual system.

In Zohar Mishpatim we read the deeper explanation that was revealed in the Zohar by the ‘elder’;

In the English Zohar Mishpatim, Vol 10 you can read it beginning with paragraph 340. Unfortunately the English translation in most cases doesn’t bring the entire commentary of Rabbi Ashlag as it exists in the original Hebrew Zohar.

King Solomon was getting up early morning every day to make unifications and draw the light of Chokma. He did it when it was still dark because Chokmah controls the night. King Solomon unified the three columns while facing the East that is the Central Column. Then he saw a vision that was the action of drawing Chokmah through the aspect of eye sight (ראיה). Then he turned to the south that is right column and to the North that is Left column and the source of Chokmah.

The Eagle is the aspect of the central column that is the highway to the upper levels. The Tree of Life ‘height’ is measured as 500 Parsec פרסה, a word that when we rearrange the letters can be read as ספירה Sefirah. The 400 Parsec that the Eagle took from Solomon were the ascending process to the level of Chokmah.

Chokmah is considered as darkness because it is the source of light that can not be revealed without light of Chassadim. It is similar to the aspect of the rays of the sun traveling in space. Their energy is immense but only when we have a vessel that is a form of restriction and limitation, Chokmah can be revealed.

“ וַיִּבֶן שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-גָּזֶר, וְאֶת-בֵּית חֹרֹן תַּחְתּוֹן ”
“וְאֶת-בַּעֲלָת וְאֶת-תמר (תַּדְמֹר) בַּמִּדְבָּר, בָּאָרֶץ ”
“And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether ”
“and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land”

The Zohar tells us that when the bible says ‘built’, meaning the act of building, בניה, it is the expression of understanding. This word also spells ‘Binah’ בינה, that means ‘understanding’. Solomon was actually looking in his mind to understand the wisdom. The Great Eagle is the aspect of Binah that connects to Chokmah to carry its light to Malchut. The Wings are Right and Left of Binah and also called Pillar of Fire (left) and Pillar of cloud (right) that connect to Malchut.

King Solomon used a holy name when he was in the ascending process through the central column. He was ‘riding’ with Binah to the level of Chokmah that is darkness as explained above. The name he used was a shield to protect his soul from falling to the other side. It is similar to the protection of atmosphere and the ozone layer from direct contact with the deadly rays of the sun.

The two angels, Azah and Azael represent a bridge that binds Chokmah on the upper level and the Chokmah on the lower level.

The level of connection to Chokamh/wisdom of King Solomon brought peace on earth for many years. When we connect to the wisdom of the Zohar, we draw similar energy to our lives and the world around us. For most people it doesn’t look like much but the fact is that there could’ve been great terror and chaos in the world without the Zohar.
