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.

44. וְכָרוֹזָא נָפִיק וְאָמַר, זַכָּאִין אַתּוּן עַמָּא קַדִּישָׁא, דְּעַבְדֵי טוֹב קָמֵיהּ דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, וְרָזָא דָּא, וְהַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי, דְּסָמִיךְ גְּאוּלָה לַתְּפִלָּה. בְּגִין דְּהָא בְּהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא דְּמָטוּ לִתְהִלּוֹת לָאֵל עֶלְיוֹן, דְּסָלִיק הַאי גָּוֶון עַל רֵישָׁא דְּהַהוּא אִדָּרָא, אִתְּעַר הַאי צַדִּיק, לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בַּאֲתָר דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ, בִּרְחִימוּ בַּחֲבִיבוּ בְּחֶדְוָה בִּרְעוּתָא. וְכָל שַׁיְיפִין כֻּלְּהוּ, מִתְחַבְּרָן בְּתִיאוּבְתָּא חֲדָא אִלֵּין בְּאִלֵּין, עִלָּאִין בְּתַתָּאִין, וּבוּצִינִין כֻּלְּהוּ נַהֲרִין וּמִתְלַהֲטִין, וְכֻלְהוֹן קַיְימָא בְּחִבּוּרָא חֲדָא בְּהַאי צַדִּיק דְּאִקְרֵי טוֹב, כד"א אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי טוֹב, וְדָא מְחַבֵּר לְכֻלְּהוּ בְּחִבּוּרָא חֲדָא. כְּדֵין כֹּלָּא בִּלְחִישׁוּ עֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, בִּנְשִׁיקִין דִּרְעוּתָא, וְקַיְּימָא מִלָּה בְּחִבּוּרָא דִּבֵי אִדְּרָא.

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.

45. כֵּיוָן דְּמָטוּ לְשִׂים שָׁלוֹם, כְּדֵין עָבִיד שִׁמּוּשָׁא הַהוּא נָהָר דְּנָפִיק מֵעֵדֶן בְּאִדָּרָא דָּא, וּכְדֵין בַּעְיָין כֹּלָּא לְנָפְקָא מִקָּמֵי מַלְכָּא, וְלָא אִצְטְרִיךְ בַּר נָשׁ, וְלָא אַחֲרָא, לְאִשְׁתַּכְּחָא תַּמָּן, וְלָא לְמִשְׁאַל שְׁאֶלְתִּין, אֶלָּא אִצְטְרִיךְ לְמִנְפַּל עַל אַנְפִּין. מ"ט. בְּגִין דְּהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא שַׁעֲתָא דְּשִׁמּוּשָׁא הֲוֵי, וּבָעֵי כָּל בַּר נָשׁ לְמִכְסַף מִקָּמֵי מָארֵיהּ, וּלְחַפְיָא אַנְפּוֹי בְּכִסּוּפָא סַגִּי, וּלְאַכְלְלָא נַפְשֵׁיהּ בְּהַהוּא שִׁמּוּשָׁא דְּנַפְשִׁין, דְּאִתְכְּלִיל הַהוּא אִדָּרָא מֵעֵילָּא וּמִתַּתָּא בְּנַפְשִׁין וְרוּחִין. כְּדֵין גָּוֶון אַחֲרָא, דְּנָחִית לְתַתָּא, קָאֵים וְאָחִיד בְּשִׁפּוּלֵי דְּהַאי אִדָּרָא.

Crowns Head Soul, The Wicked Wickedness

46. Another proclamation is made, Those of above and those of below bear witness. Whoever creates souls and exonerates the wicked, MEANING HE WHO CAUSES THEM TO RETURN TO THE RIGHT PATH, is worthy to be adorned with the Crown of Royalty on his head. That is the one who is now worthy to come before the King and Queen, because the King and Queen are inquiring about him.

46. וְכָרוֹזָא נָפִיק וְקָארֵי וְאָמַר, עִלָּאִין וְתַתָּאִין אַסְהִידוּ סַהֲדוּתָא, מַאן אִיהוּ דְּעָבִיד נַפְשָׁאן וְזַכֵּי לְחַיָּיבַיָּא, הַהוּא דְּאִתְחָזֵי לְאַעְטְּרָא לֵיהּ, בְּעִטְרָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא עַל רֵישֵׁיהּ, הַהוּא דְּאִתְחָזֵי לְעָאָלָא הַשְׁתָּא קָמֵי מַלְכָּא וּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, דְּהָא מַלְכָּא וּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא שָׁאֲלֵי עָלֵיהּ.

Angels Curtain Eyes Other Side Soul, The Wicked Wickedness Witnesses

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.

47. כְּדֵין אִזְדָּמַן תְּרֵין סָהֲדִין, מֵאִינּוּן עֵינֵי יְיָ' דִּמְשַׁטְּטֵי בְּכָל עָלְמָא, וְקַיְימִין בָּתַר פַּרְגּוֹדָא, וְסָהֲדָן סַהֲדוּתָא דָּא, וְאַמְרֵי, הָא אֲנָן סַהֲדִין עַל פְּלַנְיָא בַּר פְּלַנְיָא. דָּא אִיהוּ עָבִיד נַפְשָׁן לְתַתָּא, נַפְשָׁאן דְּחַיָּיבַיָּא דַּהֲווֹ מִסִּטְרָא אַחֲרָא. כְּדֵין אִתְיָקָּר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בְּחֶדְוָה שְׁלֵימָתָא זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵיהּ, דְּהָא אֲבוֹי יִדְכַּר בְּגִינֵיהּ לְטָב.

Crowns Hebrew Letters Holy Name Righteous Soul, The Wicked Wickedness Yehodiam

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.

48. בֵּיהּ שַׁעֲתָא אִזְדָּמַן חַד מְמָנָא, דְּאִיהוּ גִּזְבָּרָא עַל דִּיּוּקְנִין דְּצַדִּיקַיָּא, בְּרָזָא דְּשִׁמּוּשָׁא דְּאַתְוָון, דְּאִתְקְרֵי בְּרָזָא יְהוֹדִי"עָם, בְּכִתְרָא דְּשִׁמּוּשָׁא דִּשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא. וְרָמִיז קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לְהַהוּא מְמָנָא, וְאַיְיתֵי דִּיּוּקְנֵיהּ דְּהַהוּא ב"נ דְּעָבִיד נַפְשָׁאן דְּחַיָּיבַיָּא וְקָאֵים לֵיהּ קָמֵי מַלְכָּא וּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא.

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.

Angels Camp Merit Repentance Seventy Soul, The Wicked Wickedness

50. The Holy One, blessed be He, gestures to four camps of supernal ANGELS, who take that image and go with it. He enters seventy concealed worlds that no other person EXCEPT HIM merited, because these worlds are concealed and are only for those who made over the souls of the wicked. If people knew how much benefit and merit they would acquire when they merit them WITH REPENTANCE, they would go after them and pursue them as one who pursues life.

50. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא רָמִיז לְד' מַשְׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין, וְנַטְלִין לְהַהוּא דִּיּוּקְנָא, וְאַזְלִין עִמֵּיהּ, וְאִיהוּ עָאל לְע' עָלְמִין גְּנִיזִין, דְּלָא זָכֵי בְּהוּ בַּר נָשׁ אַחֲרָא, בַּר אִינּוּן גְּנִיזִין לְאִינוּן דְּעַבְדֵי נַפְשֵׁיהוֹן דְּחַיָּיבַיָּא. וְאִלְמָלֵי הֲווֹ יַדְעֵי בְּנֵי נָשָׁא, כַּמָּה תּוֹעַלְתָּא וּזְכוּ וְזַכָּאן בְּגִינַיְיהוּ כַּד זָכוּ לְהוֹן. הֲווֹ אָזְלוּ אֲבַתְרַיְיהוּ, וְרַדְפֵי לוֹן כְּמַאן דְּרָדִיף בָּתַר חַיִּין.

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.
