Hebrew translation:

קָם רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן וְאָמַר: אֶלְעָזָר בְּנִי, יֵשׁ מִי שֶׁיָּרֵא מֵהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּיחָיוּ אֶת בָּנָיו וְיִגְדַּל עָשְׁרוֹ בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, וְאִם חָסֵר מִזֶּה, אֵינוֹ יָרֵא מִמֶּנּוּ, זֶה לֹא שָׂם לוֹ אֶת יִרְאַת יהו”ה לָעִקָּר, אֲבָל מִי שֶׁיָּרֵא אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בֵּין בְּטוֹב בֵּין בְּצָרָה, זֶהוּ מִי שֶׁשָּׂם אֶת יִרְאַת יהו”ה בּוֹ לְעִקָּר, שֶׁשָּׁלֹשׁ דְּרָגוֹת הֵן שֶׁל יִרְאָה, יֵשׁ יִרְאָה בֵּין בְּטוֹב בֵּין בְּצָרָה, וְיֵשׁ יִרְאָה שֶׁיָּרֵא אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּטוֹב וְלֹא בְצָרָה, וְיֵשׁ יִרְאָה שֶׁלֹּא שָׂם אוֹתָהּ עָלָיו לְעִקָּר, בֵּין לְטוֹב בֵּין לְצָרָה. צַדִּיק גָּמוּר שָׂם אוֹתָהּ עָלָיו לְעִקָּר בֵּין לְטוֹב בֵּין לְדִין, הַבֵּינוֹנִי שָׂם אוֹתָהּ עָלָיו לְטוֹב וְלֹא לְדִין, הָרָשָׁע הַגָּמוּר לֹא שָׂם אוֹתָהּ עִקָּר, לֹא בְטוֹב וְלֹא בְדִין.

וְלָמָּה הַשְּׁכִינָה נִקְרֵאת יִרְאָה? שֶׁהֲרֵי הִיא נִטְּלָה מִצַּד הָעַמּוּד הָאֶמְצָעִי. אֶלָּא כְּמוֹ שֶׁהָעַמּוּד הָאֶמְצָעִי נוֹטֵל מֵרַחֲמִים וְדִין, שֶׁהֵם יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל, כָּךְ הִיא נוֹטֶלֶת מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם, מִצַּד הַשְּׂמֹאל זוֹ נִקְרֵאת יִרְאָה, פַּחַד יִצְחָק, שֶׁמִּצַּד הַיָּמִין נִקְרָא אַהֲבָ”ה, וְזוֹ הַמִּצְוָה הַשְּׁנִיָּה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהּ וְאַהֲבַת עוֹלָם אֲהַבְתִּיךְ עַל כֵּן מְשַׁכְתִּיךְ חָסֶד.

 

Tikkun 33 – 2

There are people with Awe and fear of God because they want support to have good children and grow their material wealth. If they don’t have the fear of losing that, then they have no Awe or fear of God.

The Zohar talks about three levels of Awe and Fear.

The evil one doesn’t recognize the ways of God in good or in bad.

The middle one has awe when he sees good and benefits but not when he experiences some judgment.

The righteous one understands that good and bad are different expressions of the forces of God to bring balance to life. They have awe of God at all times, regardless if the situation seems good or bad for them.

The awe of the righteous connects him to the Shechina. She’s revealed in the central column where there is unification of Chessed, which is Loving kindness and Gevurah, which is judgment. He sees the unification and knows that everything comes from YHVH and the system of good and bad.

Jeremiah 31:2
“מֵרָחוֹק, יְהוָה נִרְאָה לִי; וְאַהֲבַת עוֹלָם אֲהַבְתִּיךְ, עַל-כֵּן מְשַׁכְתִּיךְ חָסֶד “
“From afar YHVH appeared to me.’ ‘And, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I’ve drawn Chessed for you. ”

The true Awe brings the love (unification) of YHVH with the vessel (us) and brings Chessed to us.

Only unconditional love can bring balance and draws light of Chassadim. This light can manifest and benefit our tikkun process.

    Dear Zion;
    How does the Zohar define the words “judgement” and “punishment”?
    How does the spiritual judgement differ from corporeal judgement?
    How does the spiritual punishment differ from corporeal punishment?
    Ohr Chadash b’Havariem,
    virginiamary

    • avatar Zion Nefesh says:

      The Zohar explains that ‘Punishment’ is what we see as an effect that hurt us. Judgment is a connection to negativity, meaning that we lose light and let darkness replace it. All judgments and punishments are what we bring on ourselves directly or by being with negative people or environment.
      There’s no immediate punishment on judgment we attract during our tikkun process unless we are close to finish our tikkun. All judgments occurs first in the spiritual level and then through a process it manifest in this life or the following life. There is no cause and effect in the spiritual level. What so called punishment after death is a process of cleansing the soul from its negativity.

        can the source of our suffering or negativity be as a result of our wrong choices

        • avatar Zion Nefesh says:

          Yes. The simple and quick answer is;
          (from each person’s point of view)
          It’s because of me, my parents, my family, my friends, my community, my nation and the human race.
          I am writing a separate article on this issue.

  2. Traduccion al español:

    Tikun 33-2

    Hay gente con temor y el miedo de Di-s porque quieren el apoyo tener los niños buenos y desarrollar sus riqueza material. Si no tienen el temor de pérdida, entonces no tienen ningún temor o miedo de Di-s.

    El Zóhar habla sobre tres niveles de temor y miedo.

    El mal no reconoce los caminos de Di-s en bien o en mal.

    El promedio tiene temor cuando ve bien y beneficios, pero no cuando experimenta algún juicio.

    El justo (tzadik) entiende que el bien y mal son diferentes expresiones de las fuerzas de Di-s para traer el equilibrio a la vida. Tienen temor de Di-s en todo momento, sin importar si la situación parece ser buena o mala para ellos.

    El temor de los justos (tzadikim) los conecta con la Shejiná. Ella está revelada en la columna central donde hay unificación de Jesed, lo que es amar, la bondad, y Gevurá, que es el juicio. Él ve la unificación y sabe que todo viene de YHVH y del sistema del bien y del mal.

    Jeremías 31:2
    “מֵרָחוֹק, יְהוָה נִרְאָה לִי; אֲהַבְתִּיךְ וְאַהֲבַת עוֹלָם, עַל -- כֵּן מְשַׁכְתִּיךְ חָסֶד”
    “Desde lejos se me apareció YHVH”,”Y yo os he amado con un amor eterno;. por lo tanto he elaborado Jesed para ti. ”

    El verdadero temor trae el amor (unificación) de YHVH con el recipiente (nosotros) y nos trae Jesed (bondad).

    Sólo el amor incondicional pueden traer equilibrio y expande luz de JASADIM (Or jasadim). Esta luz puede manifestarse beneficiar de nuestro proceso de correccion (tikun).

    Dear Zion: you write,” The righteous one understands that good and bad are different expressions of the forces of God to bring balance to life.”

    Please explain God’s actions in the creation of concentration camps and the Holocaust.

    • avatar Zion Nefesh says:

      Dear Stephen, Since this is not a quick answer, I will write the answer as a separate article and post it here and as a separate page on the site in few days.
      BTW, There were other holocausts in the Jewish/Israelites History that should be related to this issue for proper answer.
