Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -943
Hebrew translation:

Sorry Hebrew translation is missing from my original files.

 

Tikkun 70 – 48

The three daily prayers have the aspects of
Morning – Chessed – South – Right column – White
Afternoon – Gevurah – North – Left column – Red
Evening – Tiferet – East – Central column – Blue (green in it)
The tree of life shows us that Binah is above Gevura and feeds it on the left column. The sages teach us that to be rich we should turn north. “הרוצה להעשיר יצפין” .
The true meaning of it is that in order to be rich one should connect to Binah through the left column,
A strong desire opens the north gate that connects us to Binah and allows its energy to flow into our lives.

Deuteronomy 10:15
“ רַק בַּאֲבֹתֶיךָ חָשַׁק יְהוָה, לְאַהֲבָה אוֹתָם”
“Only YHVH had a desire in your fathers to love them”

יְהֹוָה is the name of God with the Nikkud of חולם Cholam, שבא Sheva and קמץ Kamatz. The initials are חשק – ‘Desired’. The secret that Zohar reveals to us here is that the letters of his name were revealed to the patriarchs so they can channel the light for us.

Psalms 91:14
“ כִּי בִי חָשַׁק, וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ; אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ, כִּי-יָדַע שְׁמִי.”
“’Because he has desire upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.”

The Nikud of the YHVH name reveals different aspects of its light. The knowledge (connection) of the name elevates us as the verse above promises.
The first two words כִּי בִי, “because upon me”, has the numerical value of 42 to indicate connection to the force of Creation.

Proverb 9:11
“כִּי-בִי, יִרְבּוּ יָמֶיךָ; וְיוֹסִיפוּ לְּךָ, שְׁנוֹת חַיִּים.”
“For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.”

The first two words, כִּי-בִי, are the same as the one above and here the Zohar explains that the 42 letter name that we know as Ana B’Koach can help us connect to all the Sefirot (Days) and achieve greater spiritual elevation (years).
Aspect of time doesn’t exist in the spiritual system so the terms of days and years point to spiritual ‘distance’.

The fourth commandment of “Honor your father and mother: that your days may be long upon the land which YHVH your God given you” is not about length of life but better connection to the spiritual system and YHVH.

    Shavuah Tov and Boker tov mi Eretz HaKodesh

    Question: Have you previously laid out the explanation of all the nikud of the YHVH name reveals different aspects of its light? I am very interested in adding this to my daily kavanot. Can you direct me to the primary source? Sefer Etz Chaim? Sefer Shaar Hakavanot? Perek? etc?

    Also, it is interesting to note that during the Shakarit kavanot we meditate upon the Ana Bekoach after the karbanot. The sod of the 42 letter name of HKBH, lies in that the 42 letters are 42 of the 49 encampments after Am Yisrael left mitzrayim. This connection reveals to us the need for change. Why change? Because the 49 encampments were each connected to a level of impurity and served as a method of correction for the impurity (49 levels of impurity). Only during the period of the Omer do we connect to the 49 levels. So one of the purposes of the connection to the Ana Bekoach is to reveal within us the areas we need to change in order to affect our tikkun process.

    Thank you very much Zion, I love Psalm 91, I pray it every day and every time one of my family members are in danger and has always kept me safe, Glory to the Lord, and Thank you very much to Baruch Eliezer, for his comment, it is so (valioso)
    Shabbat Shalom to all my DZ family Bless be all
    Amen.

  3. avatar Baruch Eliezer says:

    Sephardim, during the morning Kidush on Shabbat, we pray “Im tashiv m’shabat regalechah, asot chafatzechah b’yom kadshi…”, If you would turn your feet due to Shabbat from doing your own thing on MY Holy Day… (Isaiah 58, 13-14). Here HKBH is telling Am Yisrael if you desire me, then you need to change. You need to change your ways to MY ways. If you do this, HKBH tells us that “…you will call the Shabbat a delight, cease from speaking (prohibited) speech, then you will delight in HKBH, and HKBH will cause you to ride over the high places of the world, and I shall feed (grant) you the inheritance of Yaakov Avinu…” How does this prayer connect to the 4th commandment of “Honor your father and mother: that your days may be long upon the land which YHVH your God given you” ? The parallel I want to draw is lengthening your days upon the land, and grant you the inheritance of Yaakov Avinu. In the Kidush prayer we talk about changing for the sake of being granted our inheritance. An inheritance that is stipulated upon a desire for connection to HKBH. If we truly desire HIM, then we will want to change, and when we change we will be granted our inheritance of Yaakov Avinu. So how does the first part of the 4th commandment relate to change. If we honor our father and mother relates to not only honoring are physical parents, but also our spiritual parents--the patriarchs and matriarchs. So the question now becomes, what does honor mean. Again, if we go back to the Kidush prayer we have a clue. If we do the things that Avraham and Sarah, Yitzhak and Rivkah, Yaakov and Leah and Rachel (our spiritual parents), but especiall Yaakov Avinu, we show them honor. But what are the things that they did? This is the most important question. To start with, abandon all forms of idolatry that your physical parents are involved in, just like Avraham Avinu did. This is enough for starters…more to come.

    • avatar Deborah G says:

      Thank you Baruch Eliezer, I couldn’t agree more with your comment:…’To start with, abandon all forms of idolatry that your physical parents are involved in, just like Avraham Avinu did. ‘. This is how it all it stated for me many years ago, and now today I am here as part of the DZ and living in the Omniscient one’s way and following his path and not mine, doing all things good in his name (as best as I can with all my strenght) with much thanks for the help from all DZ with their DZ comments and great insights and most of all from Zion for his love and help with my spiritual growth from his love and devotion to DZ. Thanks be to Adonai Echad for all things, unto my very breath.
      Sholom to all

  4. avatar Chris says:

    Zion everything in the world is governed by time, so why isn’t it important in the spiritual system? For example, mercy exists so that you have TIME to make amends before judgements start descending like a storm.

    Also, in God’s plan, everything has happened in sequence and in order, which is kind of like time as well. Thank you and have a gd weekend.

    • avatar Baruch Eliezer says:

      Chris,
      Time, as we know it, only exists in the “physical” realm. What we call time is actually part of “Space-time Continuum” and part of a much greater realm of reality.

      • avatar Chris says:

        Thanks Baruch. The ‘greater realm of reality’ is too great for my little mind to comprehend lol.

        We may be part of a ‘greater reality’ so to speak, but we in this physical world and therefore subject to its laws and conditions. We are not above them, but our lives are ruled by them. All we can do I guess is to adapt ourselves to the circumstances until we know more……

        • avatar Baruch Eliezer says:

          Zion may have talked about the 1% and the 99%; I’m not quite sure. But in any event, let’s review it. We live in the realm of the 1%. The physical world, but there is more to us than what “meets the eye.” We are also composed of a reality called the “99%”. This is where all time and space cease to exist. If you’re familiar with the movie the “Matrix”, the 99% is when we begin to realize that there is another part of us and we begin to disconnect from the “Matrix”. It is the Spiritual side of us. Here we can fly as “Neo” did. We can do most anything that we’re not able to do in the physical world, because as you say we are governed by a world of rules, but as “Morpheus” says, “some of the rules can be bent and some can even be broken. The closer we get to HKBH through our work, through affecting our Tikkun, the more we learn which rules can be bent and which can be broken. But for now, suffice it to say, this area is left to those who have been hard at work for a very long time. However, all is not lost. There is hope for us all. HKBH showed me a very important reality the other day. That is, to put it in the form of the question, even though this is not “Jeopardy”, Why is the Karbon Pesach the only Karbon that is not offered at the Beit HaMigdash? Why does each family offer their own karbon and in the event of lack of funds or having a small family, we’re allowed to join another family. To put it simply, redemption starts with us. Yes! That’s right. Our own redemption is a matter of “freeing the mind”. “Freeing the mind” of how we use to perceive ourselves, perceive the world, perceive everything around us. If you haven’t seen the Matrix Trilogy, buy it! It’s worth the investment. After all, your soul depends on it.

          • avatar Zion Nefesh says:

            The Kabbalah center teach about the 1% material world and 99% spiritual.
            I agree with the but I will add that the 1% material world is always in temporary state. We see humans everywhere but they are not the same as the ones from 120 years ago. They come and go. Even on the individual level we have a biological cycle of death and life. Our body cells and all or most of our internal organs renew themselves.
            The deep secret is that every 3.3 seconds there is a ‘pulse’ of life that sustain the entire creation.
            המחדש בטובו בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית.
            The entire ‘matter’ existence is part of the ‘thought’ of the creator and it is pure ‘anti matter’. It is only our perception at the level of ‘condensed’ light that brings the illusion of matter.
            If we become ‘tuned’ to the ‘pulse’ of life that is also the heart beat of matter (atoms, fields of energy). Then we can be like the great kabbalists that could bring people to life, change the weather, jump distances in few steps and ascend and descend in the spiritual levels.
            When we understand that the one percent is also part of the thought of the Creator then we can lose the fear of death and transform our desire to material things to desire to use them for the sake of revealing the light in the world.

          • avatar Chris says:

            Haha Baruch, I now have a great excuse to entertain myself with some heart-pumping action (oh and do something for my soul too).

            Thank you very much for your great comments and have a great weekend!

  5. avatar Maria Emilia Voss says:

    Zion, eu tenho uma dúvida. Orar em direção ao Norte ou ao Sul.
    No hemisfério Norte, a direção sul é a mais ensolarada. O sol, no seu percurso diário, ele vai de Leste para Oeste fazendo um circuito pelo Sul. As janelas voltadas para Sul, no hemisfério Norte,… são as que recebem mais incidência de Luz. No hemisfério Sul (Brasil), acontece o oposto. O sol passa pelo NORTE, as janelas voltadas p o Norte são as que recebem mais LUZ solar. Pergunto, se as orações são voltadas para Norte ou Sul, devido à incidência do sol, no caso de eu estar no hemisfério SUL, deveria orar na direção oposta?
    No testo, por exemplo, está traduzido: . Os sábios ensinam que para ser rico devemos vire para o norte. “הרוצה להעשיר יצפין”.
    O verdadeiro significado do que é que, a fim de ser rico é preciso conectar-se a Binah através da coluna da esquerda,
    Um forte desejo abre o portão norte, que nos conecta a Binah e permite a sua energia flua em nossas vidas……
    Estando eu no Brasil, não devo fazer minha orações então voltadas para SUL ou, obedecer o texto e faze-las voltada para Norte?

  6. avatar Chris says:

    Zion, could you please explain a bit more what you mean by condensed light giving us the illusion of matter?

    Also, you say that our physical eyes can only see 1% of everything that is present. How is it that animals which are a lower species, are more sensitive to things like natural disasters and ghosts etc? And, how is it that some blind people have the gift of the ‘third eye’? Do we subconsciously know or perceive things which our conscious minds don’t register because there’s something blocking the light or signals?

    Thanks again!

  7. avatar Sarah says:

    Shavouah tov
    Tonight is the 5 Tamuz
    Ezechiel had his vision
    of the Merkava
    may we see it
    over the materiel
    Bliss
    Sarah

    • avatar Deborah G says:

      yes, thank you Sarah for such an important reminder. May we be see so blessed to see even a speck of it!!
      Shalom, to all my Dz family

    Daily Zohar # 943 – If you desire him
    Tr: ENG => SVN

    Zoharjev dnevnik Št. 943 -- Če ga boš poželel

    Tikkun 70 – 48

    Tri dnevne molitve manifestirajo naslednje vidike:

    JUTRO -- Chessed -- JUG – DESNO DEBLO – BELA BARVA
    POPOLDAN -- Gevurah -- SEVER – Levo DEBLO – Rdeča BARVA
    ZVEČER -- TIFERET – VZHOD – Središčno DEBLO – MODRA BARVA ( v njej ZELENA)

    Drevo življenja nam prikazuje, da je BINAH nad GEVURAH in jo izpolnjuje na levem deblu. Modreci nas učijo, da če želimo biti bogati se moramo obrniti na sever. “הרוצה להעשיר יצפין” .
    Pravi pomen te misli je da za namen biti bogat pomeni navezati se na Binah preko levega debla.
    Močna želja odpira severna vrata, ki nas naveže na Binah in dovoli energiji Binah, da priteka v naša življenja.

    Peta Mojzesova knjiga 10:15

    “ רַק בַּאֲבֹתֶיךָ חָשַׁק יְהוָה, לְאַהֲבָה אוֹתָם”
    “Vendar je YHVH imel željo SAMO za tvoje očete in jih ljubil”

    יְהֹוָה je ime Boga z Nikkud ( samoglasniške oznake ) in sicer:
    חולם -- Cholam,
    שבא – Sheva,
    קמץ -- Kamatz.

    Začetne črke treh besed so חשק – ‘ZAŽELJEN’. Skrivnost, ki nam jo Zohar odkriva sporoča, da so črke imema Boga, bile razodete praočakom, da lahko usmerjajo svetlobo na nas.

    Knjiga Psalmov 91:14
    “ כִּי בִי חָשַׁק, וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ; אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ, כִּי-יָדַע שְׁמִי.”
    “Ker ima željo nad MENOJ, bom mu bom podelil, postavil ga bom visoko, ker je poznal MOJE ime.”

    Nikud ( samoglasniški znaki ) imena YHVH nam razodevajo različne vidike svetlobe. Znanje ( navezava na ) imena nas povzpne kot nam obljubljam verz.

    Prvi dve besedi כִּי בִי, “ker nad menoj ”, imajo številčno vrednostf 42, da nakažejo navezavo na sile Stvarjenja.

    Knjiga Pregovorov 9:11

    “כִּי-בִי, יִרְבּוּ יָמֶיךָ; וְיוֹסִיפוּ לְּךָ, שְׁנוֹת חַיִּים.”
    “Po meni se ti bodo pomnožili dnevi in leta tvojega življenja se ti bodo dodala.”

    Prvi dve besedi: כִּי-בִי sta enaki kot v verzu Psalma 91:14. Zohar tukaj pojasnjuje, da ime iz 42 črk znano kot Ana B’Koach nam lahko pomaga navezati se na vse Sefiroje ( Dnevi ) in doseči intenzivnejšo duhovno povzpetje( LETA ). Vidik časa ne obstaja v duhovnem sistemu zato so izrazi kot so DNEVNI , LETA točke do duhovne razdalje.

    Četrta zapoved: “Spoštuj očeta in mater, dokler so ti dani dnevi na zemlji, ki ti jo je YHVH dal”, ne gre za dolžino življenja ampak za povezavo na duhovni sistem in YHVH.
