The Kabbalah of Time: Revelation of Hidden Light Through the Jewish Calendar

The first place was the Torah, and the second place was in the Messiah. It should be of no surprise but important to note that Jewish tradition clearly makes this connection. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it… That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it.

The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. Hanukkah reminds us that Yeshua is the light of the World!

A third place that it is believed that God hid His light is in the menorah. There is also a deeper connection between the divine light and Hanukkah. However, the Baal HaSulam continues:. But these Kelim were not fully developed because the Ari did not have enough time to complete all the necessary corrections. We shall later discuss why the Ari failed. Naturally, it so happened because there were objective, profound reasons and not because he suddenly fell sick and died.

Rather, he fell sick and died because there had been certain prerequisites in the development of these Kelim. But these Kelim were not fully developed because the Ari, as we know, passed away in according to the Jewish calendar. His legacy, forbidden to be disclosed to the world, was used only by a chosen few. In one of his letters, the Baal HaSulam tells this story. The Ari lived only 36 years.

He never wrote any books by himself. During the last one and a half years of his life he had a disciple by the name of Haim Vital Marhu. Haim was 28 at the time, while the Ari was Think of how young these two men were! During the time he spend beside the Ari, Haim Vital learned everything that later allowed him to write more than 20 thick volumes. It seems incredible to us. Vital had learned from his great Teacher in only eighteen months, he described in a series of note-books, which were buried with him after his death.

In his will he insisted that they be put in his grave in Safed Tzefat, a town in North Galilee. The Ari and Haim Vital used to live in this ancient town in the north of Galilee. My students and I often come to this place, and immerse ourselves in the same spring where the Ari used to have his ablutions. Haim Vital was unwilling to publish his writings, believing that neither he nor his generation was sufficiently mature for this knowledge.

Some of them were revealed at the time of the Baal Shem Tov Besht. This great Kabbalist lived in the 17th Century in the Ukraine. Like the Ari, the Baal Shem Tov never penned anything by himself. A few books were written by some of his disciples. With the help of these two books, we can complete our correction, because during the time period between the Ari and the Baal HaSulam the Kelim of NHY completed their development and were filled with all principal lights.

As this greatest Kabbalist of our time had predicted, starting from the end of the last century the spiritual ascent towards the End of correction began.

With the help of his books all subsequent generations will follow our path. Now we can clearly see that the souls of the earlier generations were immeasurably higher than those of the later generations. The rule for all Partzufim, both pertaining to worlds and to souls, is that the purest vessels are corrected first. Thus, the Kelim of HaBaD of chaos both of the world and the souls were introduced first to our world. Therefore, the souls of the first two millennia are incomparably higher than those that came after them.

Man of that time needed very little. He was quite content with a shelter, a small amount of food, and security. His egoism did not push him towards any serious undertakings. Exalted souls are not necessarily those that have profound attainments. They can feel the spiritual worlds due to their purity. Despite their tremendous elevation, they could not receive the full amount of light due to the lack of their own lower components, the Kelim of HaGaT and NHYM.

During the middle period, when the vessels of the worlds and of the souls that emerged were of the Kelim of HaGaT, the souls were still extremely pure. We know that there are ten Sefirot: Hesed is similar to Keter , Gevura is like Tifferet. At the same time, the lights were still concealed in the worlds due to the lack of egoism in these Kelim. For the most part, egoism is in the Kelim of NHY. As soon as these vessels began developing, both the first and then the second Temples were destroyed. The spiritual collapse that took place as a result of a transition from Bina to the vessels of reception Kelim de Kabbalah through Tifferet echoed in our world as the physical destruction of the two Temples.

Hidden Light Revealed

Accordingly, in our generation, in which the lowest souls in all creation that could not be corrected until now, they still complement the Kelim-Partzufim of the common soul. The work can only be completed with their help. The Baal HaSulam says that although the Kelim of NHY are the worst and most egoistic, yet the completion of the work is impossible without them because they are exactly the vessels to be corrected. Their development starts after the destruction of the Temple, and then followed by the development of the lights in these Kelim.

Therefore, all that is left for us to do is to realize this method of correction, i. In our time this power is called Mashiach. Therefore, only with the completion of preparation of these lowest souls could the highest lights be revealed, and not prior to this. Only thanks to us will the light enter into this world. We will attract it with our most evil, awful egoism because by this we complete the structure of the Partzuf of the entire creation. This was a problem that pre-occupied the sages, and it was clear to them that the earlier generations were much more important than the later ones pertaining to their vessels, properties, and desires, which were considerably closer to the properties of the light.

Their vessels were very small, pure, and sublime in comparison with ours. They were much closer to the light, whereas we are completely opposite to it in our desires. But the wisdom of Torah all understanding, attainment and depth of sensations is manifested in the later generations a lot more, due to the increased general volume of the Kli. As is well known, the general volume of egoism is contained in the Sof of the Partzuf. So it turns out that the correction takes place with the help of the last generations.

This is because actions originate in the pure Kelim, whereas the secrets of Torah stem from the light of the Sefirot. The revelation of light occurs inside the soul, in our Kelim, inside our consciousness. Our generation is therefore able to draw tremendous light to this world. We are now in the Kelim of NHY , which approach their completion, but do not possess a screen. The Kelim that manifest now are empty.

That is why our time is so tough, egoistic, cruel and barbaric in its essence. We are now standing at a threshold of reception of light in the empty Kelim. If we acquire a screen, we shall instantly begin drawing the Upper light. It will pass through our souls to the rest of the world. We are now in a very critical state, when all the Kelim are ready, but devoid of light. In other words, our egoism, enormous and empty, is waiting to be filled with light. A fearful state of dismay, disorientation, and confusion is growing steadily each day.

Where is this world heading? Why does it exist? Why are we here? This is our condition today. We are left with only one choice: It is also called the light of Mashiach because this light of Bina corrects the properties of Malchut. All correction is based on this combination, merging of Bina and Malchut. By feeling the influence of the light of Bina and the light of Mashiach , the creation will bond with the Creator. This will mark the complete and final deliverance from egoism, and entrance into eternity and perfection.

By knowing the roots of our past, we can graphically depict the history of our world. This graph can show all possible nuances and minute details. We can see in it the birth and predestination of any historical personality; understand the causes of historic events, catastrophes, and wars. After that, the world will continue its existence as it did before the zero point. Previously, the bodies were developing, whereas by the end of the six-thousand-year period the souls will continue evolving, because the body will lose its significance. Our world, our universe, however, will not change in any way.

We can see many things on the axis of time.

Introduction to the Book of Zohar. Items 60-71

This is a part of the so-called historical Kabbalah or, rather, of the Kabbalistic history. We only need to receive from all this an answer to the age-old question about the meaning of our life. Why should I know how this complex system is functioning outside me? Of course it is interesting information, but then what next?

Kabbalah is based on one single question: Why do I exist? By searching for the answer to this question, man attains the universe. He is first given the vessels, then is allowed to acquire a screen, and finally is filled with the light. How does the correction take place beginning from and on according to what the Baal HaSulam predicted? We are now living in or, according to the spiritual chronology, in How should we proceed?

The Baal HaSulam says; if we are destined to make corrections, naturally we should do it on ourselves. What does it mean?

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.

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.

Ann Helen Wainer (Author of The Kabbalah of Time)

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, 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. 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.

These actions raise the outer part of the nations of the world, prevail over the inner part, and consequently the destructive elements within the nations of the world prevail over Israel. Thus, through suffering, everything facilitates the return to a state where Galgalta Eynaim , the souls of Israel, draw the Upper light to the world.

Do not be surprised by the fact that even an individual person, through his or her deeds, can cause an elevation or degradation of the whole world. This is an unalterable law that the whole and its parts are as identical as two drops of water. Everything that occurs in the whole occurs in its parts as well, and vice versa. Furthermore, whatever happens in the parts happens in the whole, because the whole is only revealed through the manifestation of its individual parts, according to both their measure and quality.

We are all dependent on one another. Until all of us have their vessels corrected, no one will be able to achieve full individual correction. The complete, truly absolute correction is when not only I am corrected through the world, but through me the whole world reaches the same state. We are all parts of one universe, one closed system, one soul called Adam, which emerged from the zero point. Kabbalah correlates the notion of the zero point with the creation of Adam. So certainly, the influence of every soul, i. A question may arise: How can it possibly help to redeem the nations of the world and Israel from their egoism?

From what we have read, it is clear that the Torah, like the world itself, has an inner and an outer aspect. There are two levels in the Torah. If man concentrates his efforts on the inner part of the Torah, namely on Kabbalah, in the same degree he elevates the inner part in the world. Then, consequently, a redistribution of forces takes place, when Israel and the nations of the world begin to realize the importance of spirituality, see the greatness of the Creator, and aspire for Him.

But if those of Israel who must study Kabbalah and then pass it on to the nations of the world diminish the importance of the inner part of the Torah in comparison with the mechanical observance of the precepts, the outer part of Israel, all opponents of Kabbalah, prevail over Kabbalists. As a result, the outer part of the nations, the destructive elements, rises above the righteous person, which leads the world to wars, catastrophes, hostilities, and suffering. Furthermore, this leads to strengthening of the outer part of the nations over their inner part, so that the worst and most destructive of them prevail over their inner part, the righteous ones.

This brings destruction and death, such as our generation has been a witness to. The opposite is true also. All the afflictions that have befallen Israel and the world are due to their neglecting the study of Kabbalah as compared to the external rituals and treating it as something superfluous. This way, we rise to the level of eternity and perfection.

Only Kabbalah can guide and correct us, whereas all other teachings and even the outer part of the Torah increases egoism. The nations with a higher level of egoism are greedy, resourceful, craving for pleasures of this world. Why is this so? It is because instead of elevating their soul, they focus more on the body. Naturally, since this is not what they are supposed to do, although successful in their undertakings, they push themselves and the whole world to a catastrophe.

It is said about this generation that the Upper spirit light disappears and never returns.
