Here it must be said that calling upon Ha-Shem for the sake <strong>of</strong> selfish and petty desires, or for the sake<strong>of</strong> selfish ambition, is a breech <strong>of</strong> the Third Commandment: “Do not take the Name <strong>of</strong> the LORD yourGod in vain.”Always honor the Name <strong>of</strong> the LORD and you will be blessed; and you will be empowered to bring forthblessings for the sake <strong>of</strong> the people.The Blessing <strong>of</strong> Ruach Ha-KodeshIf you walk in the Way <strong>of</strong> Purification – the Way <strong>of</strong> Holiness, the blessings <strong>of</strong> Ruach Ha-Kodesh maypour out upon you, all as the Holy One wishes.The inmost and highest transmission <strong>of</strong> Ruach Ha-Kodesh is the spiritual transmission <strong>of</strong> your holy soul<strong>of</strong> the inmost and Highest Light, the Essence and Root from the inmost level <strong>of</strong> your soul within whichGod and Godhead dwell; it is the Power <strong>of</strong> Yechidah and the Soul <strong>of</strong> Messiah, the true influx <strong>of</strong> theSupernal Light, Supernal or Supramental Consciousness – the Perfect Thunder Intelligence, the Divine IAm.The second and next highest level <strong>of</strong> the transmission <strong>of</strong> Ruach Ha-Kodesh is the reception <strong>of</strong> an ivur(impregnation) <strong>of</strong> an aspect <strong>of</strong> the soul <strong>of</strong> a Holy Tzaddik, which serves to upgrade the soul <strong>of</strong> the onewho receives it – on occasion this may be an ivur from a living tzaddik, as for example may occur in thecase <strong>of</strong> an inmost disciple or in the case <strong>of</strong> a true consort, but more <strong>of</strong>ten than not it is an ivur from adisincarnate tzaddik, one who has already passed away. There are, in fact, many different levels <strong>of</strong> ivur– they may occur at the level <strong>of</strong> yechidah, hayyah, neshamah, ruach or nefesh, the most commonbeing at the levels <strong>of</strong> neshamah, ruach and nefesh; correspondingly, that person will receive something<strong>of</strong> the spiritual gifts and illumination <strong>of</strong> the Holy Tzaddik, a distinct empowerment and upgrading <strong>of</strong> thespiritual life.The third and next highest spiritual transmission comes to pass through the study and contemplation<strong>of</strong> the Holy Torah and Gospel, and living according to the Holy Gospel, the essence <strong>of</strong> the Holy Torah –this attainment is spoken by the masters <strong>of</strong> the tradition when that say, “When a person is faithful andlives according to the Gospel <strong>of</strong> Truth, that person receives the gift <strong>of</strong> a Holy Advocate (Angel).” This, intruth, is the generation <strong>of</strong> the Body <strong>of</strong> Light and awakening <strong>of</strong> the Fiery Intelligence created throughyour own actions, your good works. If you live consistently according to the Gospel <strong>of</strong> Truth, keepingyourself to the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Truth through kavvanah and devekut, then this holy angel will reveal itself toyou. This is the true meaning <strong>of</strong> a “holy guardian angel” and <strong>of</strong> those angels called Maggidim; it is aLight-presence and Light-power, an experience <strong>of</strong> Divine Illumination within the mental and vitalconsciousness, but not Supramental or Supernal.Of this angel we can say, save that a person abides in the Way <strong>of</strong> Holiness, rather than a true HolyGuardian Angel or Holy Maggid, their “angel” will be an unclean spirit or angel <strong>of</strong> the demiurge, anadmixture <strong>of</strong> light and darkness, truth and falsehood, or worse, it will be no angel at all, but rather will44
