Daily Zohar 4029
Hebrew translation:
419. כָּעֵת חָזַרְנוּ לַדָּבָר הָרִאשׁוֹן. אַחֲרֵי שֶׁהִפִּילָם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מִמְּקוֹמָם הַקָּדוֹשׁ, טָעוּ אַחַר נְשׁוֹת הָעוֹלָם וְהִטְעוּ אֶת הָעוֹלָם. כָּאן יֵשׁ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל, וַהֲרֵי כָּתוּב (תהלים קד) עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת וְגוֹ’. וַהֲרֵי מַלְאָכִים אֵלּוּ הָיוּ, אֵיךְ יָכְלוּ לְהִתְקַיֵּם בָּאָרֶץ? אֶלָּא בֹּא וּרְאֵה, כָּל אוֹתָם (מְלָכִים) שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה לֹא עוֹמְדִים וְלֹא יְכוֹלִים לַעֲמֹד, רַק בְּאוֹר עֶלְיוֹן שֶׁמֵּאִיר לָהֶם וּמְקַיֵּם אוֹתָם. וְאִם פּוֹסֵק מֵהֶם אוֹתוֹ הָאוֹר, לֹא יְכוֹלִים לַעֲמֹד. כָּל שֶׁכֵּן אוֹתָם שֶׁהִפִּילָם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא וְהִפְסִיק מֵהֶם אוֹתוֹ הָאוֹר שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה שֶׁהִשְׁתַּנָּה זִיוָם. וּכְשֶׁיָּרְדוּ וְשָׁלַט בָּהֶם אֲוִיר הָעוֹלָם, הִשְׁתַּנּוּ בְדַרְגָּה אַחֶרֶת.

Zohar Balak
Continued from previous DZ
#418
Rabbi Shimon said, “I will now return to your difficult matter, which Balaam said, “falls and is open-eyed” (Numbers 24:16). If we say that it was not so, but only praise that Balaam would praise himself, how can the Holy One Blessed be He write a false thing in the Torah. And if it is true, how can an evil person praise him on a higher level above all the prophets of faith? Furthermore, the holiness from above would be only in a proper place and not in this impure man.
#419
Now I will return to the first point after the Holy One, Blessed be He dropped down Uza and Azael from their holy place, they went astray after the women of the world, and the world went astray. It is written;
Psalm 104:4
“עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵט.”
“Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.”
These angels can not exist on earth, only under the supernal Light that illuminates and sustains them. If that Light ceases from them, they become disabled.
The Holy One Blessed be He stopped the supernal Light from illuminating the angels Uza and Azael, that he dropped down to earth, and when they came under the rule of the air of this world, their level changed.
Lesson;
The air of this world has a ‘physical’/material aspect, and it represents the Light of the Ten sefirot that is revealed in the corporeal world. The word for ‘air’ is ‘אויר’, which has the word for ‘light’ ‘אור’ and the letter י Yod that is numerically 10 and represents the supernal light as manifested in this world.
