This episode of Kabbalah Media explores a deep passage from Baal HaSulam's 'Study of the Ten Sefirot,' Volume 2, Part 5, focusing on the spiritual mechanics of the turning of the interior in the vessel of Chokhmah. The discussion centers on how the light of Chokhmah, after undergoing refinement from phase 3 to phase 2, turns its anterior inward to bestow Hasadim (mercy) to Bina through a process called 'Vak.' This inversion creates a division between Gal (anterior) and Vak (posterior), enabling the emergence of the lower sefirot. The lecture examines the paradox of Chokhmah retaining its essence while bestowing light in a transformed state, and how this process is foundational to the birth of the Sabbath and the structure of spiritual worlds like Atzilut. The episode also delves into the dynamic between Zon (male) and the vessels of Chokhmah and Bina, emphasizing how the reversal of the interior allows for the correction and elevation of Chesed, ultimately leading to the reintegration of light into Tiferet and the restoration of unity in the spiritual system. The complex interplay of refinement, inversion, and bestowal reveals the hidden architecture of divine emanation.
The 'turning of the interior' in Chokhmah is a spiritual inversion that enables bestowal of Hasadim to Bina, creating the Vak state necessary for lower sefirot to emerge.
Phase 2 of Chokhmah remains unrefined and still contains Chokhmah, but its anterior turns backward to give light without Gal (anterior), enabling the birth of the lower worlds.
The division into Gal and Vak is not merely structural—it's a dynamic process that allows for the correction and refinement of Chesed, leading to the emergence of Gadlut (greatness) in Zeranpin.
The return of the interior to its original state after refinement signifies spiritual restoration, where light expands in Chokhmah, Bina, and Tiferet, reestablishing unity.
The Sabbath in Atzilut is rooted in this process, symbolizing the completion of the spiritual cycle of bestowal and correction.
Introduction to the Study of the 10 Sefirot, Vol. 2, Part 5
The session begins with a reading from Baal HaSulam's Inner Light, item 40, on page 326, focusing on the spiritual dynamics of Chokhmah and Bina after the inversion of the vessel of Chokhmah. The foundational concept of the 'turning of the interior' is introduced as a key mechanism for bestowal.
The Turning of the Interior and the Birth of Vak
“The vessel of Chokhmah turned its interior backwards, giving light a vak without gal. Although it has Chokhmah since phase two has not yet been defined, it nevertheless bestows chassadin for the sake of Bina, desires chassadin.”
The Role of Vak in the Emergence of the Lower Sefirot
“This is because it is impossible for the vessel of Chokhmah to bestow the lay of chesed, which is the phase of vak without gal, if not through the posterior of Chokhmah.”
Restoration of Unity: The Return of the Interior
“When there is no Gah in the degree, the Vak rises innate. Since the interior of Chesed returned to its place, the posterior that was in Gvoa was canceled and was incorporated once more in the interior of the light of Chesed.”
Conclusion: The Sabbath and the Root of Spiritual Correction
The episode closes by connecting the entire process to the root of Israel's Sabbath in Atzilut, emphasizing that the turning and returning of the interior are not just metaphysical concepts but the foundation of spiritual time and correction.
“When there is no Gah in the degree, the Vak rises innate. Since the interior of Chesed returned to its place, the posterior that was in Gvoa was canceled and was incorporated once more in the interior of the light of Chesed.”
“The vessel of Chokhmah turned its interior backwards, giving light a vak without gal. Although it has Chokhmah since phase two has not yet been defined, it nevertheless bestows chassadin for the sake of Bina, desires chassadin.”
“This is because it is impossible for the vessel of Chokhmah to bestow the lay of chesed, which is the phase of vak without gal, if not through the posterior of Chokhmah.”
