When Behina Dalet received the Light of Ein Sof she felt that the Light came from the Giver.  The sensation of the Giver awakened in her such shame and torment that she decided never to receive again.  A decision in the Upper One becomes a binding law for all the following situations.  Hence, even if some part of Malchut wants to receive for itself, it is unable to because Malchut controls all her parts.  Any new decision is a result of the weakness of the degree; therefore it operates only on the lower degrees.

From the aforesaid, their words are understood with utter simplicity: we have seen that all the words and utterances our lips pronounce cannot help us convey even a single word from the spiritual, Godly matters, above the imaginary time and space. Instead, there is a special language for these matters, being the Language of the Branches, indicating their relation to their Upper Roots.

 

The creature, Behina Dalet of Dalet, corrects its will to receive in order to be able to bestow.  The correction is not of the desire itself, but in the way it is used–it must be done with the intention to give.  That correction, the setting up of the intention to bestow, is done with small bits of the desire of the creature, from the smallest to the greatest, but not on all of the desires at once.

 

 

Any reasonable person will understand that when dealing with spiritual matters, much less with Godliness, we have no words or letters with which to contemplate.  This is because our whole vocabulary is but combinations of the letters of our senses and imagination.  Yet, how can they be of assistance where there are neither imagination nor senses.

 

The spiritual world is an abstract, “virtual” place.  There are only forces and emotions there, no bodies.  The spiritual terms must constantly be renewed because we cannot understand a word of what the Kabbalistic books speak of before we have an emotional connection with spirituality.

 

The Creator wants a Creation that can retain its independence even when it feels the Creator, seemingly producing a “dual Creator”–the first being the Creator Himself, and the second, Creation, operating precisely like the Creator.

 

We should also know that the will to receive is what we perceive as the “body” of the emanated, meaning its primary essence, being the vessel to receive His goodness.  The second is the Essence of the good that is received, which is His Light, which is eternally extended to the emanation.

 

And this is why we gather here–to establish a society where each of us follows the spirit of bestowing upon the Creator.  And to achieve bestowal upon the Creator, we must begin with bestowal upon man, which is called “love of others.”
