Tikkun 21 – 119
Genesis 6:19 “ וּמִכָּל-הָחַי מִכָּל-בָּשָׂר שְׁנַיִם מִכֹּל, תָּבִיא אֶל-הַתֵּבָה–לְהַחֲיֹת אִתָּךְ: זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, יִהְיוּ”
“And of every living thing (חי) of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive (חי) with you; they shall be male and female.”
The Zohar explains to us that the count of the animal that came into the Ark is as two and two, seven and seven. These numbers add up to 18 (2+2+7+7), which are the cycle of 9 sefirot of direct light and 9 sefirot of returning light and this represents life as in חי.
Genesis 8: 4 “וַתָּנַח הַתֵּבָה בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי, בְּשִׁבְעָה-עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ, עַל, הָרֵי אֲרָרָט”
“And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”
Noah’s Ark rested on the mountain of Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month. This is the time after we go through the judgment process of Rosh Hashanah, on the first of the month, then after receiving the verdict on the 10th day, Yom Kippur.
The work of High Priest, the Kohen Gadol, on Yom Kippur drew down the Light of Chassadim to the world. In our time his work is replaced by our global connection on the same day.
On the 14th day, which is the Holiday of Sukkoth that we celebrate for seven days, we start collecting the light of chassadim. On this Holiday we do the action of “Nisuch Hamayim”, which is a connection to the light of chassadim through water. When this was done in the Holy Temple it created a great joy because it manifested the work of the Kohen on Yom Kippur.
The action of nisuch hamayim is done by transferring water from one vessel to another to manifest this special light in our lives. It connects the supernal waters, which is the energy source to the lower water, which is the physical water.

Tikkun 21 – 109
(Continue the subject from Daily Zohar 366,367)
When Jonah avoided the light and the guidance of his Ruach, he caused a disconnection between his soul level of Nefesh and the level of Ruach. It is described in Jonah 1:5 “וְיוֹנָה, יָרַד אֶל-יַרְכְּתֵי הַסְּפִינָה, וַיִּשְׁכַּב, וַיֵּרָדַם”
“Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep”
Jonah fell into darkness when his Ruach left his body. His candle נר, which are the Nefesh and Ruach levels as described previously, was broken and he was left without guidance. When the R ר for Ruach left, the N for Nefesh stayed. The N represents a falling state.
Many of us experience ‘falling’ of the body just before going into sleep. When the soul leaves the body for the night sleep and the body is not ready to let go of it, the separation of the body and soul creates a feeling of falling and a fear of death.
In the book of Lamentation that we read on the ninth of Av we find the same feeling that Jonah experienced when his Light, the Ruach, left him.
Lamentation 1:1 “אֵיכָה יָשְׁבָה בָדָד, הָעִיר רַבָּתִי עָם–הָיְתָה, כְּאַלְמָנָה; רַבָּתִי בַגּוֹיִם, שָׂרָתִי בַּמְּדִינוֹת–הָיְתָה, לָמַס”
“How does the city sit solitary that was full of people? How doeshe become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how does she become tributary!”
Before the destruction of the Holy Temple we enjoyed the guidance and protection of the Light. Without the Holy Temple, we fell into darkness and loneliness like a widow, which represents the vessel for us, left without the support of her husband, the light.

Tikkun 21 – 98
The 365 precepts of “You shall not do….” keep the Satan away from us.
Those precepts help us disconnect from the impure system and the desire for the self alone.
Genesis 27:4 “וַעֲשֵׂה-לִי מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתִּי, וְהָבִיאָה לִּי–וְאֹכֵלָה: בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֶכְךָ נַפְשִׁי, בְּטֶרֶם אָמוּת”
“and make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.”
When Isaac asked his son to prepare food that he loves, he wanted to connect to his positive side that comes from the heart. This is the side of the 248 precepts that are connections to YHVH.
When food gets into the blood system it manifests the energy in the heart. If the food has negativity in it, it could connect to the negative side that reside in the Liver and contaminate the spiritual being of the person.
The heart circulates the blood and with every heart beat it sends the spiritual energy that the food brought in. Isaac could channel his blessings.
When the son brought the food that he picked and prepared with the high energy of Rebecca, Isaac could channel his full blessings to Jacob.
The processes of the sacrifices in the Holy Temple have the exact same reason but in this case the blessings come from the upper levels.
Psalms 37:27 “ סוּר מֵרָע, וַעֲשֵׂה-טוֹב וּשְׁכֹן לְעוֹלָם.”
“Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore”
Depart from evil refers to the 365 precepts of “you shall not do…” and “Do good” is for 248 precepts of positive actions that connect us to YHVH.

Tikkun 21 – 83
Psalms 25:15 “ עֵינַי תָּמִיד, אֶל-יְהוָה: כִּי הוּא-יוֹצִיא מֵרֶשֶׁת רַגְלָי.”
“My eyes are ever toward YHVH; for He will bring forth my feet from falling into the negativity.”
The common saying “look into your heart” is not logical on a physical level because no one can actually look into their heart.
It is only through the heart we can connect to the truth. Truth is the energy that powers up existence.
Truth is the central column and the way to connect to the upper levels.
The Hebrew word for truth is אמת. It starts with the first letter of the Alef-Bet, ends with the last letter and in the center it has the middle letter. אמת holds the Tree of Life in its place.
With every meditation and action we should look into our heart and make sure that it is done with truth and pure consciousness. That is the way to connect and bring the light into our lives.
2 chronicles 7:16
“וְעַתָּה, בָּחַרְתִּי וְהִקְדַּשְׁתִּי אֶת-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה, לִהְיוֹת-שְׁמִי שָׁם, עַד-עוֹלָם; וְהָיוּ עֵינַי וְלִבִּי שָׁם, כָּל-הַיָּמִים”
“For now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that My name may be there for ever; and my eyes and My heart shall be there throughout all the days.”
The Holy Temple represents this truth and the Holy One Bless be He also states that he puts his eyes and heart in it. Any other way which is not truth connects us to the impure system and draws negativity.
A lie detector checks changes in the heart pulses. When a person lies it immediately affects his heart. It goes out of sync with the energy of life inside.
It is hard for a spiritually connected person to lie. He knows that lying is a form of spiritual death as it can disconnect him from the Tree of Life.
So look into your heart and act with truth.

Tikkun 21-72
The candle הנר, has the same letters as נהר, which is river. This is the river that comes out of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2: 10) to water the Garden.
The connection to the river is through the precepts, Mitzvoth, that are in the Torah and they feed and support the soul.
Proverb 11:6 “וּבַאֲבֹד רְשָׁעִים רִנָּה”
“…and when the wicked perish, there is joy.”
The word here for joy has same letters as נהר, river, and it is the element that removes the wickedness from the world. This is the “energy feed” for the world and everyone, to keep our candle lit. When the candle is lit, negativity can not have a strong hold on us.
Psalms 126:2 “ אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחוֹק, פִּינוּ וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה”
“Then our mouth will be filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy singing” (joy = רִנָּה= הנר)
This song in Psalms has the word רִנָּה in it three times. It talks about the time when the three rivers from the Garden of Eden will fill up our vessels and remove all negativity from the body.
In Proverb 31:18 we read “טָעֲמָה, כִּי-טוֹב סַחְרָהּ לֹא-יִכְבֶּה בליל (בַלַּיְלָה) נֵרָהּ”
“her candle נֵרָהּ will not go out by night because her trade is with the Torah”
The light will always be in Malchut because of the study of Torah. That will bring the final correction and the new Jerusalem with the Holy Temple will be built.

Tikkun 19-16
יוד-הא-ואו-הא is the name that represents Zeir Anpin. It has 10 letters as in 10 fingers that gives us the ability to work and manifest the thought into actions.
Each hand has 14 bone links, which is the same as the numerical value of the word Hand in Hebrew יד. Together it is 28, same as the number of letters in the first verse of the Torah . בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.
Same as the word for power or might in Hebrew, כח.
In the Song of Songs 5:14 we read “ יָדָיו גְּלִילֵי זָהָב”
Translates to “His hands are channels to reveal the light of Chokmah…” (gold is left column, Gimatria 14)
Zeir Anpin, מה, has the power כח of Chokmah חכמה. Same letters and numerical value of 73.
Our body reflects the spiritual system as it is ssaid in Ecclesiastes 7:14 “גַּם אֶת-זֶה לְעֻמַּת-זֶה, עָשָׂה הָאֱלֹהִים”
“God has made the one parallel to the other”
Genesis 9:6 “כִּי בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים, עָשָׂה אֶת-הָאָדָם.” “in the image of God man was made.”
Deuteronomy 20:19 “ כִּי הָאָדָם עֵץ הַשָּׂדֶה” “…man is the Tree of the field”
In the poetic description of Zeir Anpin, Song of Songs verse 11 describes the head, verse 12 describes the eyes, 13describes the cheeks and lips, 14 describes the hands and inner parts and 15 describes the legs.
My friend Jeff (Ezra) Meiliken, is a mathematician and an expert on Torah Gematria. He is also the author of “The Genesis Prayer” and wrote many articles on KabbalahSecrets.com.
He recently shared with me his findings about the connection between the body parts and the structure and measurements of the Holy Temple. Hopefully he will publish this amazing information soon.
Our body is Holy because it was built to channel the spiritual energy and allow us to experience the creative force from within. “Handle” everything like channeling the supernal energy. As a daily reader of the Zohar, you are connected to higher levels of energy and all your actions count. Be a creator, become like God because He wanted you and us to be like him. He even hid himself from us so we can feel the personal achievement in creating and doing for others.

Tikkun 19 – 4
The two aspects of the Torah, which are the Oral and the Written are represented by the 53 Torah portions that are read on Shabbat.
The inner courtyard of the Holy Temple represents the written Torah and the outer yard is the oral Torah. The gate between them is opened only on Shabbat.
The 53 comes from Song of Songs 4:12 “גַּן נָעוּל, אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה; גַּל נָעוּל, מַעְיָן חָתוּם” “A garden is shut up, my sister, my bride; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. “. Garden = גַּן= 53.
The gate to the Garden is locked during the six days and on Shabbat it is opened.
God created the world in a 6 day process and on the seventh day he opens the supernal gate to provide energy to his creation. The opening of the gate on the first Shabbat was supposed to stay open forever. Because of the Sin, the gate closed to separate between the Tree of Life that is inside the Garden (inner courtyard with the Holy of Holies) and the tree of Knowledge Good and Bad outside the gate (outer courtyard).
Genesis 3:24 “He drove out Adam…. and put the flaming sword to keep the way to the Tree of Life.”
Adam’s sin corrupted the balance in the Garden of Eden and created separation between the upper and lower.
This is the explanation to Song of Song 4:12 “a fountain is sealed”.
Since “the sin” we need to work to earn the Light. On Shabbat we receive the Light that we earned for the work we did during the past week. The light of Shabbat is given based on the individual spiritual vessel created that week. Our sages said “Whoever does the work before Shabbat, eats on Shabbat”. “מי שטרח בערב שבת, יאכל בשבת”
Shabbat is the resting day because it is all about receiving the light. Don’t close the gate to your light.

Tikkun 18 Continue
On Shabbat, Malchut is elevated to Binah and we have the opening to the upper three Sefirot.
All prayers and connections can reach to a higher level.
Ezekiel 46:1 “…The gate of the inner court that faces east will be close six working days but on Shabbat day it will be open and on the day of the new moon it will be opened”
The Holy Temple had represented all spiritual dimensions. The East side has the energy of Chessed and it is close to the Inner court, which is Chokmah Binah and the Holy of Holies connected to Keter.
Only on Shabbat there can be a flow from the upper three Sefirot to the lower seven.
Also on the first day of the moon when there is a renewal of the month then a new energy appears from the upper levels.
The connection requires connecting with the Hebrew letters and especially the Torah reading and reciting the Shema Yisrael prayer.

Tikkun #6 – continue
The male souls need to connect with matching female soul, which is like the nest for the holy. Rabbi Shimon explains that reincarnation process is like planting trees together to create a new and better tree.
There trees from the impure system and should not be connected with good tree.
This is the secret of why righteous suffers and wicked prosper. The righteous that was wicked in previous incarnation, suffers in this life time to correct actions from previous life. A wicked that prosper were good in previous life.
This is the secret of the three times Noah sent the dove to check is she could find rest. The soul goes throughout the correction of the three levels of the soul, Nefesh, Rouah and Neshama. When Noah sent the dove the last time she didn’t come back because the correction process was completed.
Our suffering in this world is the result of our actions that brought the distraction of the Holy Temple. The Holy One, Bless be He, wondered out of the Nest.
Our suffering will stop when we complete the correction. The third Temple is at the level of Neshama and is ready for us. The previous destruction just created the next level of the Holy Temple and the pain and suffering is the process of elevation to reach that level.
If you think that are righteous and still suffer then you should know now that you are paying for previous life actions and for the Third Temple to come down. Today, Amen.

Tikkun #6 – continue
The two times the Holy Temple destroyed is against Binah and Malchut and the Holy one Bless be He, is like a wondering man without a place to dwell. The verse in Proverb 27:8 is revealing this state “Like a bird wondering out of her nest, so is a man…”
God, the system, is merciful because he is not stopping us from doing negative actions; he doesn’t stop the killer from killing because he gave us the power to use as we wish. When we have great connection to the Light with the tool of the High Priest, Kohen Gadol, then we can enjoy the Holy Temple and peace on earth, when we give power to negativity, which is selfishness, and concentrating on materials, we bring destruction on ourselves and the whole world.
If you are connected to deep Torah study and Kabbalah you reveal great light that help remove negativity that was done by others. We should set our consciousness right in every action we do.
