The three colors in the flame

Synopsis

This section deals with the three colors that can be distinguished inside a flame. One rises up, while another seems to dip down. The other one is usually visible, but appears to be concealed when the sun shines. There is one color that ascends above and emerges, and that color is whiter than white.

Through this analogy, we learn how our prayers cause the white light to ascend to the crown, and how all the Sfirot join to each other with light above and below, and then join with all the candles. Only then are all combined with the righteous one, who is called 'good.' Whosoever causes the wicked to return to the right path is now worthy, we are told. This recognition is then witnessed by the angels who supervise the world. Next, the overseer appears, bringing with him the image of that person; and, we read, there is no righteous person in this world who does not have his image thus engraved above. The King then blesses the image of that righteous one, and four camps of supernal angels take it and depart. Where they go, however, we are not told.

The Zohar next talks of the seventy keys belonging to treasures owned by the overseer's Master, and then of seventy concealed worlds. After this, we learn that those who help the poor merit much good in return, as well as many supernal treasures, but these rewards are nothing like those merited by someone who redeems the wicked.

Now we learn when the children of Yisrael reach the Kedushah in the prayer, the third color in the flame emerges and shines. We are next told that the sanctification we recite is the same as the praise we give to the supernal angels, and we give this praise both so that we may be sanctified ourselves and so that we may earn their friendship. Sanctification in the Holy Language may only be recited when ten men are present, because the Shechinah joins the sanctification. Prayer, we are told, has great strength and is often able to break the power of the Other Side. Concluding the discourse, Rabbi Shimon blesses the other rabbis.

Relevance

Just as the seven colors of the rainbow emerge from a single beam of white sunlight, our reading unites all the spiritual forces into their original state, a ray of pure Light emanating from the Creator.

This union produces a luminescence that brightens our entire existence. We steer this Light towards the wicked, the evil who dwell among us, as well as the wicked tendencies in ourselves, thus purging immoral impulses and subjugating the Other Side, the Satan, which is the root of personal and global negativity. This Light also emancipates the poor, annulling the force of poverty so all may now partake of God's goodness.

Chambers Chassadim Colors Flame Nukva South Sun Zeir Anpin

42. In the upper chamber, WHICH IS MALCHUT, there are three colors, WHICH ARE NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD, that glitter inside one flame, and that flame emerges from the south side which is right. These colors separate to three sides. One ascends above, SHINING FROM BELOW UP, AND IT IS NETZACH, one descends below, SHINING FROM ABOVE DOWN, AND IT IS HOD, and one is visible, but is concealed when the sun shines. IT IS THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH IN CHASSADIM THAT IS PRODUCED BY YESOD THAT SHINES ONLY AT NIGHT, WHICH IS THE DOMINION OF NUKVA, BUT NOT BY DAY, WHICH IS THE DOMINION OF ZEIR ANPIN.

42. בְּאִדָּרָא עִלָּאָה, קַיְימִין תְּלַת גַּוְונִין. וְאִינּוּן לָהֲטִין גּוֹ שַׁלְהוֹבָא חֲדָא, וְהַהוּא שַׁלְהוֹבָא נָפְקָא מִסִּטְרָא דְּדָרוֹם דְּאִיהוּ יְמִינָא. וְאִינּוּן גַּוְונִין מִתְפָּרְשָׁן לִתְלַת סִטְרִין. חַד סָלִיק לְעֵילָּא. וְחַד נָחִית לְתַתָּא. וְחַד דְּאִתְחָזֵי, וְגָנִיז בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּשִׁמְשָׁא נָהִיר.

Amidah (Standing Prayer) Chambers Colors Crowns Flame Judgment Prayer Redemption and Salvation Standing Prayer (Amidah) White

43. There is one color that ascends above, WHICH IS NETZACH, and emerges, and that color is white, much whiter than any other kind of white. It enters that flame and becomes slightly colored, FOR IT INCLUDES SOME JUDGMENTS OF THE FLAME, yet does not become colored, MEANING THAT NO COLOR IS NOTICEABLE IN IT, WHICH IS JUDGMENT. That color is situated above on the top of that chamber, NAMELY ON TOP OF MALCHUT, when the children of Yisrael come to the synagogue and pray their prayers, when they reach: 'Who redeemed Yisrael' and bring redemption and Amidah prayer close together, BY NOT INTERRUPTING IN BETWEEN. THROUGH THIS, THEY CAUSE YESOD, WHICH IS CALLED 'REDEMPTION,' TO GET CLOSE TO MALCHUT, WHICH IS CALLED 'PRAYER.' Then that white color, WHICH IS NETZACH, ascends to the top of the chamber, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and becomes its crown.

43. גַּוְונָא חֲדָא הַהוּא דְּסָלִיק לְעֵילָּא, נָפְקָא, וְהַהוּא גַּוְונָא אִיהוּ גָּוֶון חִוָּור, יַתִּיר מֵחִוָּורוּ אַחֲרָא. וְעָאל בְּהַהוּא שַׁלְהוֹבָא וְאִצְטְבַע זְעֵיר, וְלָא אִצְטְבַע, וְקַיְּימָא הַהוּא גָּוֶון לְעֵילָּא עַל רֵישָׁא דְּהַהוּא אִדְרָא. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל עָאלִין לְבֵי כְּנִשְׁתָּא וּמְצָלִן צְלוֹתְהוֹן, כַּד מָטָאן לְגָאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְסַמְכִין גְּאוּלָה לִתְּפִלָּה, כְּדֵין הַאי גָּוֶון חִוָּור, אִסְתַּלָּק עַל רֵישָׁא דְּאִדָּרָא, וְאִתְעָבֵיד לֵיהּ כִּתְרָא.

Candles Chambers Colors Eyes Grades Kisses Love Prayer Redemption and Salvation Righteous Unity Zeir Anpin

44. A proclamation is made, Blessed are you the holy nation that do good, MEANING THAT THEY CAUSE THE UNITY OF YESOD THAT IS CALLED 'GOOD' before the Holy One, blessed be He. This is the secret of, "And have done that which is good in your eyes" (Yeshayah 38:3), WHICH MEANS that he brought redemption close to prayer. When they reach 'Praises to the supernal El,' that color, NETZACH, ascends upon the top of the chamber, and the righteous one is aroused, WHICH IS YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, to unite where it should with love and affection and with joy and desire. All the limbs, NAMELY ALL THE SFIROT, join each other with the same desire, those of above with those of below, and all the candles, NAMELY ALL THE LEVELS, shine and glitter. They are all combined with the righteous one who is called 'good,' as it is written, "Say of the righteous that it shall be well (also: 'good') with him" (Yeshayah 3:10). It joins them all in one union and all is silent above and below with the kisses of desire. It is all found in the union of the chamber, NAMELY THE SECRET OF THE EMBRACE.

Amidah (Standing Prayer) Blessing Chambers Colors Eden Face Peace Prayer Rivers Soul, The Standing Prayer (Amidah)

45. As soon as 'Give peace' is reached, WHICH IS THE LAST BLESSING OF THE AMIDAH AND THE ATTRIBUTE OF YESOD, the river that emerges from Eden, WHICH IS YESOD, cohabits with this chamber, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and all must leave the presence of the King. No person needs to be present there, nor make their requests, but it is just necessary to fall on the face, THAT IS TO SAY THE PRAYER OF FALLING ON THEIR FACES. What is the reason? That is the time of cohabitation, and everyone must be embarrassed before his Master and cover his face with great embarrassment to include himself in that cohabitation of the souls, for this chamber is included from above and from below with souls and spirits. Then another color that descends below, NAMELY HOD, gets up and attaches itself to the end of this room.

47. Then appear two witnesses of the eyes of Hashem that roam the entire world, NAMELY THE ANGELS WHO SUPERVISE THE WORLD, who stand behind the curtain, and bear this testimony, saying, 'We witnessed that so-and-so, son of so-and-so, acquired souls below, souls of the wicked who were on the Other Side.' Then the Holy One, blessed be He, is glorified with complete joy. Blessed is his portion, for his father is also mentioned for good because of him, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TESTIFIED ABOUT SO-AND-SO, SON OF SO-AND-SO.

48. At that moment, there appears an overseer who is the treasurer of the images of the righteous in the secret of cohabitation of the letters, MEANING THE PAIRING OF THE LETTERS OF THE NAME, called 'Yehodiam,' WHICH IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS YUD-HEI-VAV OF THE NAME. IT IS IN THE SECRET OF the crown of the pairing OF THE LETTERS YUD AND HEI of the Holy Name, WHICH IS DA'AT. And the Holy One, blessed be He, gestures to that minister, and brings the image of that person who made over the souls of the wicked to stand before the King and Queen.

Abraham Blessing Earth Hands Heavens Key Righteous Seven Seventy Soul, The Wicked Wickedness

49. RABBI SHIMON SAID, I bring witness upon me the heavens and the earth that at that moment they give to Him the image OF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, because there is no righteous person in this world that does not have his image engraved above unless under the jurisdiction of this overseer. And seventy keys of all the treasures of his Master, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE SEVEN LOWER SFIROT OF CHOCHMAH, are given over into the hand OF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. The King then blesses the image OF THAT RIGHTEOUS ONE with all the blessings that He blessed Abraham when he made over the souls of the wicked, AS IN THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "THE SOULS THEY HAD ACQUIRED IN CHARAN" (BERESHEET 12:5).

49. וַאֲנָא אַסְהַדְנָא עָלַי שְׁמַיָּא וְאַרְעָא דִּבְהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא מַסְרִין לֵיהּ הַהוּא דִּיּוּקְנָא. דְּהָא לֵית לָךְ כָּל צַדִּיקָא בְּהַאי עָלְמָא, דְּלָא חָקִיק דִּיּוּקְנֵיהּ לְעֵילָּא, תְּחוֹת יְדָא דְּהַהוּא מְמָנָא. וּמַסְרִין בִּידֵיהּ ע' מַפְתְּחָן דְּכָל גִּנְזְיָא דְּמָארֵיהּ בְּהוּ. כְּדֵין מַלְכָּא בָּרִיךְ לְהַהוּא דִּיּוּקְנָא, בְּכָל בִּרְכָּאן דְּבָרִיךְ לְאַבְרָהָם, כַּד עָבֵד נַפְשָׁאן דְּחַיָּיבַיָּא.

Merit Other Side Repentance Soul, The Throne Wicked Wickedness

51. A poor person causes people to merit much good and many supernal treasures, but not like one who bring merit to the wicked. What is the difference between them? Simply, he who works for and does charity with the poor enlivens his soul, enables him to live and merits because he has done much good in this world. But he who endeavors after the wicked, TO RETURN THEM TO REPENT, accomplishes even more, because he causes the other Elohim of the Other Side to become subdued and removes him from his dominion. He causes the Holy One, blessed be He, to become elevated upon His Throne of Glory and makes a new soul for that wicked one. Happy is his share.

Angels Colors Prayer Sanctification Sun Zion

52. The other color, NAMELY THE THIRD COLOR, is visible yet not visible WHEN THE SUN SHINES. When the children of Yisrael reach the Kedushah (lit. 'sanctification') in the prayer, NAMELY THE SANCTIFICATION IN THE PRAYER, "BUT TO ZION A REDEEMER SHALL COME" (YESHAYAH 59:20), that THIRD color which was concealed emerges, because this sanctification is sanctified by the children of Yisrael even more than the supernal angels who are comrades with them. That color shines and is seen at the time that the children of Yisrael say this sanctification until they finish it, so that the supernal angels should not notice and punish them above and should not accuse them.

52. גַּוְונָא אַחֲרָא, דְּאִתְחָזֵי וְלָא אִתְחָזֵי, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּמָטָאן יִשְׂרָאֵל לִקְדוּשָׁה דְּסִידְרָא, כְּדֵין הַאי גַּוְונָא דְּגָנִיז, וְנָפִיק, בְּגִין דְּהַאי אִיהוּ קְדוּשָׁתָא דְּקָא מְקַדְּשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל יַתִּיר עַל מַלְאֲכֵי עִלָּאֵי, דְּאִינּוּן חֲבֵרִים בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ. וְהַאי גַּוְונָא נָהִיר וְאִתְחָזֵי בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מְקַדְּשֵׁי קְדוּשָׁתָא דָּא, עַד דִּמְסַיְּימֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּגִין דְּלָא יִשְׁגְּחוּן מַלְאָכִים עִלָּאִין, וְיָעְנִישׁוּ לוֹן לְעֵילָּא, וְלָא יְקַטְרְגוּן עָלַיְיהוּ.

Amidah (Standing Prayer) Angels Gates Love Praise Sanctification Standing Prayer (Amidah)

54. We must be guarded and conceal this sanctification among us in order that we become holy with sanctification in the beginning and in the end, more than with these sanctifications that the supernal angels say with us. The sanctification that we recite IN THE AMIDAH IS the praise that we praise the supernal angels, who permit us to enter the supernal gates for this praise. Therefore, we recite this sanctification in the Holy Language, WHICH IS THE LANGUAGE THAT THE MINISTERING ANGELS USE, and they leave us to come with love into the gates of above because we praise them in their system. NAMELY, WE SAY, 'AND ONE CRIED TO ANOTHER, AND SAID,' so we receive a great sanctification and enter into the highest gates.

Angels Heart Holiness (Kedushah) Kedushah (Holiness) Praise Sanctification

55. And if you say that WHAT WE PRAISE THEM is deception, and THAT IT IS NOT WITH A WHOLE HEART BUT ONLY TO RECEIVE SANCTIFICATION, this is not so. The supernal angels are holier than us, and they receive more sanctification. If it were not for the fact that we take and draw upon ourselves these sanctifications THROUGH THE PRAISE WE GIVE THEM, we could not be friends with them. And the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, would not be complete above and below at one time, BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE SUPERNAL SANCTIFICATION. Therefore, we endeavor to be friends with them THROUGH THE PRAISE WE GIVE THEM, and the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, should rise above and below at the same time.

55. וְאִי תֵּימָא רַמָּאוּתָא הִיא. לָאו הָכִי. אֶלָּא מַלְאֲכֵי עִלָּאֵי אִינּוּן קַדִּישִׁין יַתִּיר מִינָן, וְאִינּוּן נַטְלֵי קְדוּשָׁתָא יַתִּיר, וְאִלְמָלֵא דְּאֲנָן נַטְלִין וּמַשְׁכִין עֲלָן קְדוּשָׁאן אִלֵּין, לָא נֵיכוּל לְמֶהֱוֵי חֲבֵרִים בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ, וִיקָרָא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לָא יִשְׁתְּלִים עֵילָּא וְתַתָּא בְּזִמְנָא חֲדָא. וְעַל דָּא אֲנָן מִשְׁתַּדְּלִין לְמֶהֱוֵי עִמְּהוֹן חֲבֵרִים, וִיסְתַּלָּק יְקָרָא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא עֵילָּא וְתַתָּא בְּזִמְנָא חֲדָא.

Sanctification Shechinah Ten Zion

56. The sanctification which is at the end, IN "AND A REDEEMER SHALL COME TO ZION," is translated, as we have established. Even a solitary man may say this SINCE they are words of translation, but the sanctification that is in the Holy Language may be recited only when ten are present, because the Shechinah joins the sanctification. When the Shechinah is present, any sanctification is only recited by ten, as it is written, "But I will be hallowed among the children of Yisrael" (Vayikra 22:32). The children of Yisrael certainly speak in the Holy Language, unlike the other nations that speak a different language.

56. קְדוּשָׁה דִּי בְּסוֹפָא, אִיהִי תַּרְגּוּם, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא. וְדָא אֲפִילּוּ יָחִיד יָכִיל לוֹמַר לָהּ, אִינּוּן מִלֵּי דְּתַרְגּוּם. אֲבָל מִלִּין דְּלָשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ דִּקְדוּשָּׂה, לָאו אִינּוּן אֶלָּא בַּעֲשָׂרָה, בְּגִין דְּלָשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ שְׁכִינְתָּא מִתְחַבְּרָא בַּהֲדֵיהּ. וּבְכָל קְדוּשָׁה דִּשְׁכִינְתָּא אַתְיָא, לָאו אִיהוּ אֶלָּא בַּעֲשָׂרָה. דִּכְתִּיב, וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְגוֹ', בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִינּוּן לָשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַדַּאי, וְלָא שְׁאָר עַמִּין דְּאִית לוֹן לִישָׁן אַחֲרָא.

57. And if you ask, Why isn't the sanctification of Kaddish, which is in Aramaic, recited alone? HE ANSWERS, Come and see, this sanctification, MEANING KADDISH, is not like the other kinds of sanctification which are tripled, but this sanctification is in all the sides, above and below and in all sides of the Faith. It breaks even locks and rings of iron and evil Klipot, so that the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, shall ascend above all. We must say it in the language of the Other Side, and answer, 'Amen. May His Great Name be blessed' with great strength, in order to break the power of the Other Side. Then, the Holy One, blessed be He, should ascend in His glory over all. When power of the Other Side is broken with this sanctification, the Holy One, blessed be He, becomes elevated in His glory, and He remembers His children and His name. Because the Holy One, blessed be He, ascends in His glory through this sanctification, it can be recited only among ten.
