I N T RO D U C T I O N T O T H E B O O K O F Z O H A R None of us will be able to gain individually what we can gain collectively. The growth of our group by just 10% shortens our path by many months. As we grow sufficiently and the members of the group learn to understand one another, even very different people will have much to discuss. We will know how to advance together to the Creator. In the process of reading “The Book of Zohar”, a person gains the sense of the upper world. In any case, reading this book creates internal prerequisites, Kelim, with whose assistance we begin to feel what we could not feel before, something that seemed non-existent to us, but now becomes real. Something that could not be felt in our senses suddenly comes into the field of their sensitivity, and the world starts opening up, slowly developing like a photograph, until we enter into this common whole world. “The Book of Zohar” should do this to us. “The Introduction to The Book of Zohar” helps us to understand what stages we should go through. The conception of a Partzuf occurs in such a way that there is an upper Partzuf, half of which is above the Parsa (so-called GE), and another half (AHP ) is below the Parsa. We, the broken souls, broken Kelim (Kelim Shevurim) exist below the Parsa. The little crosses on the picture mark all of us. This does not mean that I gave up on us, but quite the opposite; those who are marked here have a bright future. Now we can raise all the AHP. Where? To me. Your upper Partzuf is me. Raise all your desires with me and through me get up to the GE. From this picture you can clearly see how important it is for us to join together and cling to the AHP whose GE is above the Parsa, above the Machsom. This world below is where we exist and where the AHP of the lower Partzuf exists together with you, and I rather represent it for you. To- gether we can latch onto the GE, to the part above, and thus be able to ascend. The more we unite to include these desires into the AHP, the more I feel you, so that your desires go through me up to the Creator, the more 230
I N T RO D U C T I O N T O T H E B O O K O F Z O H A R effectively we will be able to act. This is the meaning of merging of all the groups in the world. We ought to create a huge, cumulative desire that will be equal to what we call MAN, a request to the upper Partzuf, which it cannot refuse. This is our goal. Broken Kelim From this we see that there is absolutely no point to be attached to the people whose GE is not in the upper world; hence, we see how much we all must participate in the same process of connecting all of our desires into the one and only desire to the Creator. We have said that man goes through a certain period in his spiritual development called “13 years”. This is a period when the aspiration to the Creator has not yet awakened in him. It is then followed by the period of conscious spiritual development, when a person begins to feel a point in the heart, an aspiration to the Creator, and starts developing it deliberately. Now we are developing our point in the heart; therefore, our state is called “13 years” or “coming of age”. Why 13 years? While studying the Partzufim of the world of Atzilut, we discover that there are 13 corrections of the beard (“Yud Gimel Tikunei Dikna”) of the upper Partzuf. There exists an upper Partzuf Arich Anpin 231
