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 Baal HaSulam says; if we are destined to make corrections, naturally we should do it on ourselves. What does it mean? It should be done by people living in today’s world; hence, each of us has his or her own mission, role, and a precise predestination. 66. Now you must know that everything has an inner aspect and an outer aspect. The Kelim HaBaD, HaGaT, and NHY are further divided from up downwards into the inner and outer parts. Let us see what the difference between them is. They consist of Ten Sefirot, or, alternatively, of Rosh, Toch, and Sof. Israel refers to the inner part of the world, whereas other nations are considered its outer part. Please do not misinterpret these names; they do not concern nationalities, but speak of spiritual conformity. If we take this particular Partzuf, the Kelim HaBaD and HaGaT will be called Israel, and the Kelim of NHY will be called the nations of the world. In this case, we see that without engaging the nations of the world in this work Israel will be utterly unable to receive the Upper light. The nations will be left without the light unless Israel passes them Kabbalah, the method of spiritual correction. That is, the combination of Israel and the nations of the world are similar to the combination of Galgalta Eynaim and AHP. Within Israel itself, there is an inner aspect that consists of those people who are committed to serve the Creator, and an outer aspect consisting of those who are not involved in spiritual work. Likewise, 288
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 amongst the nations of the world there is an inner part called the righteous of the world and an outer part, which consists of those who are destructive and coarse. In other words, there is a division into GE and AHP. Each of these parts has its own GE and AHP. GE and AHP in GE correspond to those who work for the Creator within Israel and those who are not. GE and AHP in the nations of the world are the righteous people and those who cause damage. Even amongst those of Israel who work for the Creator, there is an inner part and an outer part. The inner part is comprised of those who are privileged to achieve spiritual attainment, and to grasp the secrets of the creation through attaining the Upper light. The outer part consists of people who only perform actions without comprehending their inner meaning. Similarly every individual person has the inner part (GE, the point in heart) and the outer part referred to as the nations of the world, or the body. Both the nations of the world and Israel are also divided into these parts. What is the essence of this division? It began from the time of Abraham who received the very first point in the heart and developed it. When a man of Israel elevates his inner part over his outer part, meaning that he dedicates most of his time and effort to the enhancement of his innermost part as regards his outer part, the body, then by this he raises his spiritual aspect of the material one. But if the opposite occurs, and a man of Israel elevates his outer material part over the inner, spiritual one, the outer part (the coarse and harmful elements in the nations of the world) accordingly rises over the inner part (the righteous among the nations of the world) and calamities and wars befall the world. 289
