FOUNDATION COURSE KABBALAH

Binah, was food as it were. It is written: “From the garden of Eden till here you may eat”
because to eat means to receive, means life. Separation means dead, waste, something that is
for the impure strengths. Where do all the flies and scavengers go to? To dead animals and
waste and not to living animals. Would a scavenger go to a lion? No, they fear everything that
lives. Except maybe small mice or so. But they prefer carcasses. Because that is food to them.
In Torah food means zivug, interaction. Interaction with the higher means food. Torah never
speaks of food. So everything got shaken or mixed and that is called the breaking of kelim. It
was a provision from above that all the sfirot got mingled with each other. So every piece had
everything in itself. Therefore we also have all souls in ourselves. Every soul, every one of us
has within itself all souls of the world. All the strengths within itself as it were. Not all souls,
but all the strengths in the world we have in ourselves. This means that I also have the
strengths of the souls of Arabs, Papua, Jews or whoever. But the main or the overarching one
for example is Jew. Someone else also has Jew in himself but it‟s not the main course for him.
To me it is but everybody has everything in themselves. That is because at a certain moment
in the process of creation, everything got mingled with each other as it were. The Big Bang,
something like that. So at a certain moment everything got shaken and after that, out of that
mixture, everything was rebuilt. We call that a new spiritual construction and that is the world
Atzilut. There Kether, Chochmah and Binah were built up, not all the way till the end because
everything is connected to each other. You can‟t correct a part completely, till the end, when
the lower part, the other part is not corrected yet. Let‟s say your heart works perfectly, your
kidneys work perfect, everything works well but suddenly you get an infection in your finger
and then your whole body hurts, feels pain. The same is here. You can‟t correct Kether till the
end. Of course we say, by way of speaking, you can correct Kether first than the following
and then the following. But in principle we eventually can only have corrected everything
completely when everything is corrected. When the smallest part of the Creation or of me in
myself is corrected completely. Then everything is corrected, when the smallest part of me in
Malchut is corrected then a small delta, let‟s say delta one or a small difference will have its
effect in Z”A. Everywhere it will have its effect because absolutely everything is connected to
each other. Therefore we also are absolutely connected to each other. The whole of humanity
is connected to each other. When there is misery somewhere you should see it as your own
misery. Absolutely true. That we don‟t see it is because we shut our eyes. If a disaster occurs
or whatever then it is up to us to correct it.
So mainly Kether, Chochmah, Binah and a piece of Z”A, the half of Z”A were corrected. The
second half of Z”A and the Malchut remain not completely corrected and are hanging
thereunder. Below all these 5 sfirot, these 5 worlds are man and man has to do prescriptions
every day. Every day. Every day is different, every day I am different. I have made new
developments. Exactly the same prescription but I do it in a different manner because I am
different. I received added value yesterday. Then I can experience the same prescription in a
different manner. We do the prescription in a different manner and we learn and that goes to
Malchut and further upwards to Einsof. Of course I receive food from Malchut. We receive
food from the one that is directly above me. Not from father or mother. Where does Malchut
receive from? From my wish and all that I do. It goes up a step to Einsof. Einsof gives back
the light in accordance with my prayer, the good that I did while I was carrying out the
mitzvah. I carried out the mitzvah and through this it comes down and everybody receives a
piece of light. Kether receives from my prayer, the mitzvah I carried out, his part and he gives
the waste to Chochmah. Chochmah receives from my carrying out of a prescription, it doesn‟t
matter which one, a huge portion of strength and light and he gives the waste to Binah. Binah
gives to Z”A and here it‟s important that Z”A gets filled up. Because the others, higher ones
