This is the source of the desire motivating the search for spiritual growth in man. The certainly issues forth from "the earth" because it is from her that it comes out in this world. The word " aretz" is related to the word " ratzon", meaning "desire", and signifies the desire that Zeir Anpin has to unify with malchut. King David is saying that his body was designed and woven in a lowly place in the lower part of his mother, which is the physical manifestation of the yesod of malchut, which is also called "earth", in Hebrew " aretz". And what is "the earth"? This is as in the verse, " My essence was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and finely wrought in the depths of the earth." ( Psalms 139:15). 1:24) What does "in its type" mean? This is the spirit of that person that came into his soul mate who is of the same type as he is.
This is as is written, " And G‑d said, 'Let the earth bring forth a live soul in its type'." ( Gen. They join together as one unit in everything, in spirit and in body. If a person merits they join together as one unit. They join together as one unit in everything, in spirit and in body…. The souls also issue from the union of Zeir Anpin with Malchut, and these are also male and female counterparts in the spiritual world.Īnd when the souls issue forth, they emerge as male and female, and after each separates and goes its own way. Chesed is the male aspect and gevura is the female aspect. The seed of light that establishes the soul comes from chesed and gevura of daat. All souls that are in the world include both male and female. People don't understand…how exalted are the works of the Holy One….įrom the day that a woman becomes pregnant until the day she gives birth, people don't understand how wondrous and how exalted are the works of the Holy One Blessed be He, as is written, " O Lord, how numerous are your works! You have made them all in Your wisdom" ( Psalms 104:24).Ĭome and see. This is as is written, " For we are as yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow." ( Job 8:9)And we don't know how long we will be in this world because the days of our life depend on this shadow. If no mitzvah is performed on that day, the holy spark of that day is blemished, and if the person does not repent for having caused this blemish, then the soul has to be reincarnated again to fix those days. The mitzvot that are performed each day rectify that spark. The number of sparks of holiness that require rectification relate to the number of days of a person's life. The Arizal explains that the soul is divided into different aspects that each descend to this world to accomplish rectification. All the days of the life of a person are present in this shadow. This is as said: " Surely every man walks in his shadow" ( Psalms 39:7). When issues forth into the world this shadow is immediately present with it and participates with it, and they grow together. It is more that the spiritual effect of the pain of childbirth generates an effect that takes time to heal. Thus a woman who has given birth is not impure in the English sense of the word. Impurity is thus a spiritual concept explaining the effect of one's deeds on their spiritual shadow. It is interesting to note that in Hebrew the word for block, " atum", is connected with the word impure, " tamei". Sinning causes the darkening of the shadow of the soul in a person by blocking the holes in this sieve. The body grows in the shape of this shadow that acts like a sieve for the light of the Neshama to shine through to the person with each mitzvah that they do. The spiritual effect of the pain of childbirth … takes time to heal… At each place she witnesses the evidence, and this holy shadow stands over her until she issues forth in this world. Next, she goes to Gehinom to see the the wicked, who yell " Voi, voi!", and no mercy is shown to them. She sees the honor of the spirits of the righteous that stand, row upon row. At the hour when the soul descends to enter into this world she first descends to the Garden of Eden, which is this world. 12:2) The Zohar uses this verse as a starting point to expound on the mysteries of conception, of male and female and the shadow image that a person has in the spiritual dimension.Ĭome and see. The verse states: " A woman, who because she gives seed first, and gives birth to a male child then she shall be impure seven days." ( Lev. The exact wording, however, is not as straight forward. This second verse of this week's Torah reading deals with the offering a woman brings if she gives birth to a male child.
