Zohar Pinchas Vol. 20 (English)/Vol 15 (Hebrew)
Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -1136
Hebrew translation:

184. וְאַחַר כָּךְ שָׁאַל בִּשְׁבִיל הַכֹּהֲנִים, שֶׁתַּחֲזֹר עֲבוֹדָה לִמְקוֹמָהּ, וְנַעֲשָׂה עֶבֶד. לְאַחַר שֶׁנָּתַן לָהֶם תּוֹרָה מִצַּד הַחֶסֶד, לַעֲשׂוֹת גְּמוּל עִם דָּלֶ”ת מֵהַתּוֹרָה, וְלָכֵן נַעֲשָׂה חָסִיד. כָּךְ הִגִּיעַ לְשָׁלֹשׁ סְפִירוֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנוֹת. פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (שם קלא) ה’ לֹא גָבַהּ לִבִּי וְלֹא רָמוּ עֵינַי וְלֹא הִלַּכְתִּי בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי.
185. שְׁלֹמֹה אָמַר, הֲרֵי בִּינָה הִיא שֶׁל מֹשֶׁה, אֶשְׁאַל בְּחָכְמָה עֶלְיוֹנָה, שֶׁהִיא מֵעַל דַּרְגָּתוֹ. מַה כָּתוּב? (קהלת ז) אָמַרְתִּי אֶחְכָּמָה וְהִיא רְחוֹקָה מִמֶּנִּי. וַהֲרֵי כָּתוּב (מלכים-א ה) וַה’ נָתַן חָכְמָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה! חָכְמָה קְטַנָּה. וְרָצָה לְהַעֲלוֹתָהּ מִלְּמַטָּה לְמַעְלָה שֶׁהִתְרַחֲקָה מִמֶּנּוּ, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ לַבִּינָה אֵין אָדָם בָּעוֹלָם יָכוֹל לַעֲלוֹת פְּרָט לְמֹשֶׁה, כָּל שֶׁכֵּן לְמַעְלָה מִמֶּנָּה, שֶׁהִיא חָכְמָה עֶלְיוֹנָה, שֶׁמִּצִּדָּהּ חָכָם עָדִיף מִנָּבִיא. וְאַף עַל גַּב שֶׁפֵּרְשׁוּהָ בְּדֶרֶךְ דְּרָשׁ עַל פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה, שִׁבְעִים פָּנִים לַתּוֹרָה.
186. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, קוּם לְחַדֵּשׁ דְּבָרִים לִפְנֵי הַשְּׁכִינָה, שֶׁתִּהְיֶה עֵזֶר לְאָבִיךָ, שֶׁהַשֵּׁם גּוֹרֵם – עֵזֶר אֵל. אֵל מִיָּמִין, עֵזֶר מִשְּׂמֹאל. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (בראשת ב) אֶעֱשֶׂה לּוֹ עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ. בַּמֶּה? בְּזֶרַע יָפֶה, שֶׁהוּא הֵפֶךְ עֵזֶר.

 

Pinchas 184-186
Psalms 131:1
“יְהוָה, לֹא-גָבַהּ לִבִּי– וְלֹא-רָמוּ עֵינַי;
וְלֹא-הִלַּכְתִּי, בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי. ”
YHVH, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.”

King David was very humble in all his ways and especially when connecting to the Light. He did everything with humility. He was able to unite the right and the left columns and draw great light to Malchut. Because of that, he merited to be the aspect of Malchut in this world.

Malchut doesn’t have a light of its own like the Sefirot above it, but Malchut can reveal the light of ALL the Sefirot. (Relate to the secret of 10 and not 9, 10 and not 11 from the book of Formation “עשר ספירות בלימה עשר ולא תשע עשר ולא אחת עשר”. Thanks Lea.).
Keter is the single connection point of the Endless and the Sefira of Chokmah that is ‘coupled’ with Binah to generate flow of light to this world. Their unification forms the Sefira of Da’at that channels the light to the lower seven Sefirot. The light that ‘arrives’ at the level of Malchut includes the light of all upper Sefirot.

King Solomon was able to feel the presence of the Light of Chokmah in Malchut and he tried to reach the source of it at the Chokmah level.

Ecclesiastes 7:23
“כָּל-זֹה, נִסִּיתִי בַחָכְמָה; אָמַרְתִּי אֶחְכָּמָה, וְהִיא רְחוֹקָה מִמֶּנִּי”
“All this have I tried by wisdom (Chokmah); I said: ‘I will get wisdom’; but it was far from me. ”

Moses was able to connect to Binah and King Solomon wanted Chokmah that is above Binah, but he couldn’t reach it.

The Zohar tells us that except Moses, no one in this world can reach the level of Binah.

The Zohar is a product of Rabbi Shimon and his students and all 10 were spiritual giants that connected and studied from Moses and Elijah (Pinchas). They opened the gates of Binah and Chokmah to us and even if we can not reach Binah, we can definitely benefit from being close to it with the Zohar.

    Zion, grateful for today message,

    Blessings to you, your familly and neighbours and friends.

    Psalms 131:1
    “יְהוָה, לֹא-גָבַהּ לִבִּי– וְלֹא-רָמוּ עֵינַי;
    וְלֹא-הִלַּכְתִּי, בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי. ”
    “YHVH, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.”

    Is this what was told about the puching the Light away? What does this mean in daily Life?
    Giving up of searching the ways of blockages or failings, subconsiously self-blocking, Let it Go, no expectation, no desire for responsibility, no certainty ?

    What does it mean 9 and not 10, 10 and not 11 in following sentence?
    Relate to the secret of 9 and not 10, 10 and not 11 from the book of Formation

    • avatar Ivan says:

      Sorry,
      The sentence: Is this what was told about the puching the Light away?
      suppose to be: Is that what was told on DZ about pushing the Light away from
      the self.

  2. avatar Sarah says:

    Dear Zion
    Thank you
    So much
    For today’s Light
    Love

  3. avatar Ivan says:

    According to the verse

    Psalms 131:1
    “יְהוָה, לֹא-גָבַהּ לִבִּי– וְלֹא-רָמוּ עֵינַי;
    וְלֹא-הִלַּכְתִּי, בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי. ”
    “YHVH, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.”

    How to inject this verse in daily Life when in yearns or desires for knowledge , for being focused ( being dispersed and wide is burden that demands vessel that may not be merited but transformed to something that is nurture negativity )? But focusing is bringing the risk of haughtiness ?

    What about our posture to information or perceptions ( if illusion ) to massive event.
    For example there exist information about asteroid comming near to the earth. And predictions it won’t do any harm. Astrophysical science and sensoring devices are giving us some certain information. In the past this was solely or most of it spiritual level opportunity. Now it is strictly materialistic event calculated and prognosed and uncertainty measured with probability calculations. What impact has such event when we are certain in material scientific level and having no need to sense this as spiritual event. But not as some ghost stories but like for example as energy that flows while hurricane is born above west African coast and travelling to the east American continent coast. Like opportunity for concept of Mercy on community or globe level. What would that mean when we are confronting with higher amount of this events when our devices are more capable of percievements and counts. For example world global re-insurance companies are confronting with massive risks in civil engineering, energetic objects, agriculture. And amount of information is risen. So this way certainty and probability are calculated on much profounded level. But certainty brings risk of being uncertain ( guess here is where haughtiness starts ) like those motivative words that have positive charge but can hide uncertainty and haughtiness? Let’s not think on tomorrow now. Let us do now and invest all our efforts in …or scenariums of exclusion of each other on basis of inside information:
    Because I know something that my neighbour or collegue does not know and on that basis I drive my decisions and my behaviour or even afford violence or sponsoring comfort zone on behalf of someone else’s knowledge or connections?

    Should all this answer tikkun concept? Because being there as victim or in comfort zone there is always about the lesson and love from G-D to direct in highest benefit?

    Then we define also the concept of righteousness. Because some group of people are in suffering the rest of the world can exists. What are sufferings? Uncertainty, being condamned on numbness, always in questions, everything that is touched is not allowed to be completed, in yearning on something that will never be reached, addiction and never having fulfillments? Guess it is not suffering about hard working. But about not havining or not allowed or wasted opportunities for completion and constant uncertainty on that basis?

    • avatar Ivan says:

      Guess this could be relevant for effecting someone’s desired running path. It is not about to reach something, to get something, to receive, not to hard work or have influence or power. It is about desire to run certain path and not being distracted on that path-path for the self, not influence or command to someone else or change someone else. So when considering that verse guess the giving up or let it go is to be motivated. And no more ideas producing if not blessed with completion.
      Receive/Restriction/Receiving? Mute/Numb versus silent in peace and receiver of the Light that is immediately shared ( intermediate buffer -- vessel is zero length )?

  4. avatar Ivan says:

    >>>“YHVH, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in
    >>>things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.”

    Could negative interpretations of this verse be the source of negativities of excluding people, diminish and surpressing the will or overlook some individuals. Could this be related to the persons without the resources for the vision to implement or give blessing to each other. There was discussion few months ago about who is blessed to the knowledge and who not. As from the protection reasons , there were some angry words about spiritual suicide and who is blessed to the knowledge?
    How to confront with differentiating between selfishness and giving up to let the others to enjoy the knowledge. What to do when give up to the one, so the one enjoy his energy in peace and not using for Ego? How to find new space when idea is to diminish space between us but accepting negativities as first step?

  5. avatar Lea says:

    Shalom Zion,
    DailyZohar.com is a place where anyone who is interested can develop oneself and achieve more Light, thank you for that.

    All lessons with all the comments (yours and other’s) from the Tikunei Zohar and Pinchas Zohar up to all of the tools available for free to all, are so good and helpful.
    Regarding the various teachings as Weekly Parashot/Portions, for example;
    although you have developed rabbishimon.com, whoever wants to increase the scope can access the list of respectable rabbis (including links to their sites), finding affinity with their ways of teaching lessons from the Torah through the vision of the Zohar and Kabbalah, in Tube.DailyZohar.com

    It is clear that the task you took for yourself requires more and more all kind of effort on your part. I wish you and your family to receive all kinds of blessings on behalf of your altruism and unconditional Love.

    Love to all,

  6. avatar Judith says:

    Right you are Zion! Being close is a benefit absolutely! Yes, I do look forward to more of your dissertations up and coming on Moshe (Moses). I am not sure if you ever saw the movie ‘Moses’ with Ben Kingsley depicting Moses. It was very different to the movie with Charlton Heston in ‘The Ten Commandments.’ I was able to view Moses in a very different like when Ben Kingsley took on the role of Moses. I would watch it again as the movie drew me even closer to the real Moses. Yes, Moses is a good role model for me here on earth. Thank you again for your timely lessons in and on life.

    Respectfully yours,

    Judith

  7. avatar Chris says:

    Why couldn’t Solomon, who we are told was the wisest man that ever lived unable to reach Chokmah? Thank you.
