250514.Emor ver88 #levels of holiness #different faces of godEmor: Verse 88HE EXPLAINS HIS WORDS: holy is the highest aspect found at the beginning of all grades, NAMELY ABA AND IMA, WHICH ARE CHOCHMAH, THE TOP OF THE GRADES. IT IS THE SECRET OF YUD OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, AND THOUGH IT IS A HIDDEN ASPECT THAT IS CALLED 'HOLINESS,' WHICH IS NOT DRAWN DOWN, AS YUD HAS NO LEG, THAT IS, EXPANSION, NEVERTHELESS an expansion emerges, shining through a thin hidden path, YESOD OF ABA AND IMA to the middle GRADE, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN. Once it shone upon the middle GRADE, a certain Vav is imprinted WITH THE BOUNTY OF HOLINESS, which shines into the holiness IT RECEIVED, and it is considered holy WITH VAV. From this light an expansion flows down TO MALCHUT, which is the last of the grades, NAMELY THE LAST HEI OF YUD HEI VAV HEI. Once it shone upon the end, a certain Hei OF MALCHUT is imprinted within the light, which is called sanctity WITH AN ADDITIONAL HEI. This has already been explained. THUS, WHEN THE BOUNTY OF SANCTITY ORIGINATES IN SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA, IT IS CALLED HOLINESS (HEB. KODESH). WHEN IT FLOWS TO ZEIR ANPIN, A VAV IS ADDED AND IT IS CALLED HOLY (HEB. KADOSH) WITH VAV. WHEN IT FLOWS TO MALCHUT A HEI IS ADDED AND IT IS CALLED SANCTITY (HEB. KEDUSHAH) WITH HEI.Emor: Verse 89That which is called 'Holy, holy, holy' should have said 'holiness' AT FIRST, because the secret OF THE FIRST 'HOLY' MEANS THE BEGINNING of everything, NAMELY SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA, WHICH ARE CALLED 'HOLINESS,' since HOLINESS comes from there, AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH THAT HOLINESS IS THE ROOT OF SANCTITY. In that case, why is it called holy above, if there is no Vav there, WHICH INDICATES EXPANSION, AND ONLY YUD THAT DOES NOT EXPAND?Emor: Verse 90HE ANSWERS, The meaning is as follows: assuredly Yisrael sanctify below, as the celestial angels do above, of whom it is written, "And one cried to another, and said, Holy" (Yeshayah 6:3). When Yisrael sanctify, they raise from below upwards the supernal glory, ZEIR ANPIN, until Vav, the secret of the highest heavens, rises up TO SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA. When the heavens rise up, that holiness shines on them, WHICH IS SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA. Then ZEIR ANPIN THAT ROSE up is called holy. THUS THE FIRST 'HOLY' REFERS TO ZEIR ANPIN, OR SPECIFICALLY, TO ZEIR ANPIN THAT ROSE TO SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA. Later that supernal light shines FROM SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA to the throne that is CALLED heavens, which is the heavens, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN, that returned to their place, THAT IS, AFTER THE HEAVENS, ZEIR ANPIN, DESCENDED FROM SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA WITH THE SANCTITY THEY RECEIVED AND CAME TO THEIR PLACE BELOW, WHICH TURNED INTO A THRONE TO ABA AND IMA. They are settled in that light, and it is then called holy, NAMELY THE SECOND 'HOLY.' The light then descends WITHIN ZEIR ANPIN until a certain celestial Righteous one receives all, who is a precious grade that sanctifies everything below. THIS IS YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN THAT POURS BOUNTY DOWN TO MALCHUT. Once it receives everything it is called holy. This is the overall meaning. THUS, THE FIRST 'HOLY' IS ZEIR ANPIN THAT ABIDES IN THE PLACE OF ABA AND IMA AND RECEIVES FROM THEM. THE SECOND 'HOLY' IS ALSO ZEIR ANPIN, AFTER DESCENDING FROM ABA AND IMA INTO HIS PLACE. THE THIRD 'HOLY' IS YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN THAT POURS UPON MALCHUT.
