Hebrew translation:

אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי: שָׁמַעְתִּי שֶׁשְּׁלֹשֶׁת הָרִבּוּיִים הַלָּלוּ הֵם שְׁלֹשׁ הַטִּפּוֹת שֶׁנִּזְרְקוּ מֵהַמֹּחַ הַנִּסְתָּר שֶׁל כָּל הַנִּסְתָּרִים, וְאֵלּוּ הֵם שְׁלֹשָׁה גִלְגּוּלִים, וְאֵלּוּ שְׁלֹשׁ הַטִּפּוֹת, שָׁמַעְתִּי שֶׁהֵן כְּנֶגֶד שָׁלֹשׁ נָשִׁים שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהֶן חַכְמוֹת נָשִׁים בָּנְתָה בֵיתָהּ, שֶׁאַחַת אוֹפָה, וְאַחַת עוֹרֶכֶת, וְאַחַת מְקַטֶּפֶת, אֶל אוֹתָהּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהּ רֵאשִׁית עֲרִיסֹתֵיכֶם חַלָּה, וְזוֹ חַלָּה שֶׁל פֶּסַח שֶׁהִיא סֶגוֹלְתָּ”א, הִיא טִפָּה רִאשׁוֹנָה, וּמִמֶּנָּה נִזְרְקוּ שָׁלֹשׁ טִפּוֹת, וְהֵם שְׁלֹשָׁה יוֹדִין י’ י’ י’ שֶׁהֵם סֶגוֹלְתָּ”א וַדַּאי, וְהֵם י’ יְבָרֶכְךָ, י’ יָאֵר, י’ יִשָּׂא, וּבְאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם נִזְרְקוּ? בִּשְׁלֹשֶׁת הָאָבוֹת, שֶׁלְּשָׁם יָרַד אָדָם בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה גִלְגּוּלִים, וּמֵאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם נִזְרְקוּ? מֵאוֹתוֹ שֶׁיָּרַד בָּהֶם (זֶה יה”ו) מִצַּד הַחָכְמָה הָעֶלְיוֹנָה.

וּכְנֶגֶד שְׁלֹשׁ הַטִּפּוֹת הַלָּלוּ תִּקְּנוּ שָׁלֹשׁ מַצּוֹת בְּפֶסַח, אַחַת הַמַּצָּה שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה לְבָרֵךְ בָּהּ הַמּוֹצִיא, הַשְּׁנִיָּה לֶחֶם מִשְׁנֶה, הַשְּׁלִישִׁית לֶחֶם עֹנִי בְּלִי מֶלַח, שֶׁהֲרֵי נֶאֱמַר עַל קָרְבָּנְךָ תַּקְרִיב מֶלַח, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהִיא מַצָּה פְרוּסָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁפּוֹרֵס פְּרִיסַת מַלְכוּתְךָ, עַד שֶׁתִּהְיֶה שְׁלֵמָה לֹא צָרִיךְ לְהַקְרִיב עָלֶיהָ מֶלַח, שֶׁהוּא חֹלֵ”ם, וּמַה הוּא חֹלֵ”ם? שֶׁהוּא אֶמְצָעִי (שֶׁל כָּל הַשָּׁלֹשׁ). שְׁלֹשׁ הַטִּפּוֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנוֹת הֵן סֶגוֹלְתָּ”א, שֶׁתְּלוּיוֹת מֵהַמֹּחַ הַנִּסְתָּר הָעַתִּיק שֶׁל הָעַתִּיקִים.

Tikkun 69 – 76

The three drops from the supernal level has the name “סֶגוֹלְתָּ”א” “Segolta”. Brought out three Yods ייי. They went into the three major incarnation of Adam in the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are revealed in the Torah with the blessing of the priests to the children of Israel in the three verses that of each begins with the letter Yod י.

Numbers 6:24-27
“יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ”,”YHVH bless thee, and keep thee ”
“יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ”, “YHVH make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee ”
“יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם”, “YHVH lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace”

Tree of Life #3

The Endless light included all the worlds and possibilities of Creations. The Tzimtzum צמצום revealed the worlds so they could act using their own abilities.

Before the Tzimtzum the lights inside the endless were like candles under the light of the sun but after the sun went away, the candles were able to reveal their own individual light. (A reminder for the reader: Please avoid imagining physical images in your brain and try to think and understand the spiritual aspect)

After the Tzimtzum and the disappearance of the light, the sphere was left with what is called “רשימו”, “Reshimu”. The literal meaning is “impression”. It can be explained as what is left over after emptying a barrel of wine or oil. The walls of the vessel had the same attributes of the original substance that was there before.

Another aspect of Reshimu is like the effect left over after having a good taste of something, for example chocolate. Even after the mouth is clear of any left over chocolate, we still have the ‘memory’ of it. Similar ‘memory’ can be experienced with non material events, like an exciting sports game, people etc.

Another meaning of the term “Reshimu” is ‘diagram’, ‘written plan’,”recipe”.

The Reshimu allowed the worlds to be revealed inside the sphere. It had all the details of the Creator’s plan for the created worlds and its occupants. All were in a state of pure force, energy, power. The Hebrew word for this is “כח”, pronouned ‘Koach’ (Numerically 28).

Everything was included within the Endless light.

Notes: The light of the Endless, “אור אין סוף”, revealed the Creator’s plan for our spiritual system and physical system. The Endless “אין סוף” is the essence of the Creator that we have no knowledge of and will never be able to know anything about him. We may understand a specific architecture to the little details but we can not know or understand the capabilities of the architect.

The Reshimu included all that would be created and it has the aspect of what the Kabbalists call “סוף מעשה במחשבה תחילה” “The end result of an action starts with a thought”.

This term is used in the song ‘Lecha Dodi’ that we sing before Shabbat. A song written by the Kabbalist Shlomo Elkabetz and in it he concealed many secrets related to the Creation, the process and the Redemption. His burial place is next the the Holy Ari in Tzefat, Israel. There are many melodies to this song. Here is a link to one of my favorites Lecha Dodi song https://dailyzohar.com/?page_id=6190

We should engrave this rule in our mind.

There is NOTHING in the worlds below that doesn’t have a spiritual origin and cause. The force, כח that drives everything below has roots in the spiritual system.

When we are conscious to it, we know that our thoughts precede our actions. Our unconscious actions have a thought and a cause that is beyond our understanding when using simple logic of the material world.

Everything that is ‘measurable’ is inside the sphere, spiritual and physical. If it has a name or definition, then it is inside the sphere. All the spiritual worlds from Adam Kadmon down to the world of Action, where the middle point marks the center of the Sphere, are inside the sphere. Surrounding it is the endless light that comes from the Endless.

The YHVH name that brings the life force to the Sphere is completely inside the sphere except for the tip of the tip of the top of the Yod of the name. We will learn and discuss this issue in future lessons.

Rule: Every light that disappears from the vessel leaves a “Reshimu”.

The Zohar is one aspect of the “Reshimu” of Rabbi Shimon and that means that we can connect to the light that Rabbi Shimon revealed in the world.

I will make a short break in delivering the study of the Tree of Life with the Daily Zohar, allowing you to repeat the study of the first few lessons. It is very important that you read the lessons again and again to understand the important principals discussed here. Without proper understanding of the Tzimtzum and the Reshimu it will be hard to understand the study of the Line and the creation of the worlds that follows.

The study of the Tree of Life will be moved to separate pages that will allow you to submit comments and related questions. It will allow new comers to start from the beginning of the study and progress according to their understanding.
