Hi everyone,

The capitalist explained that one hour of study of the 10-Lumen Assimilation equivalent to any other study that can take 365 days.

So to make it easier for many of us,

Instead of studying for an entire hour in a week,

I would break it down into less than 10 minutes per session so more of us would be able to connect with the teachings on a daily basis.

So I would like to start with some of the introduction Rava Shlug gives while he speaks about the importance of the teachings of 10-Lumen Assimilation which is the teachings of the Tree of Life.

Rava Shlug writes,

Mashi katur shekol adam l'hu yavli asig yishol shen shmato Every person needs to understand the root of their soul.

Shetachlit anirzeb amekuvema anivvwa That the entire purpose of this journey of life,

The entire purpose of creation,

Yad v'kut bo idbarach k'mosh ekattuv uleduv k'abov is an idea that the Kabbalists use specifically Rava Shlug.

He's using very often known as v'kut which literally means cleaving,

Unifying our energy,

Our mind with the mind of the Creator.

Getting into a place,

Developing ourselves to remove the space that exists between our mind,

Our thoughts,

Our energy,

Our essence,

Our desires with the desire,

With the essence of the Creator.

Upyashu chazal,

And the Sages explained,

L'zeh ad v'kud bemidot habidbarach,

Unifying our essence with the essence of the Creator.

Obviously that does not speak about anything in the physical dimension,

But rather in the spiritual level,

Unifying our attributes with the attributes of God,

With the attributes of the light.

Yad v'kud bemidot habidbarach,

However,

When we speak about the attributes of the Creator,

In many of the teachings,

Other teachings than the Ten-Lomous Emanation,

We learn about attributes as mercy,

As love,

Which are very important to develop within ourselves.

But we know that the root of each one of those attributes is in the system of the Tree of Life.

In one of those emanations known as the Sfirot,

And this Radav Aschlag explains,

Ema sfirot agdoshot krei dure,

When we speak about cleaving to the Creator's essence,

Cleaving or connecting,

Unifying our attributes,

It means to cling to the spiritual emanations,

Those ten levels known as the Sfirot.

The entire study of Ten-Lomous Emanation is one of the most powerful tools that can help each one of us developing our system into a place that will be more unified with the essence of the Light of the Creator.

My teacher,

Dora,

Very often mentioned that the power within these teachings is to bring a spiritual oxygen to different parts of our essence,

Of our soul,

That maybe did not experience this Light,

This energy,

This oxygen for many lifetimes.

So,

What do we speak about when we speak about this process of unifying our energy,

Our essence,

With the essence of the Creator?

After all,

Radav Aschlag writes,

Lecholah aresi y'mud be'alman,

After all the Ten-Lomous Emanation,

It is kind of just another teachings.

Radav Aschlag would like to explain it through a story,

Through a parable.

Ashar bi cholp u'la'she ba'ulam,

Everything that is created in our world,

Middabe' v'nish'an gut'apu'u'la'u tosekra p'we'utah,

Everything that is created in our world is injected with the thought,

With the essence,

With the energy,

With the DNA of its Creator.

Qumon shebe' shukhan musag b'shinat sekhel shebanagal,

The same like if you would look at a table,

If you would be able to penetrate through the physicality of the table,

You would be able to feel what type of energy the one who created that table injected into it.

She v'hritsutob be'u manudzo imravu me'at,

One who is sensitive to energy,

And this is one of the things we want to develop,

Is our capability to connect,

To feel,

To read the energy behind all of this physical world and everything that exists within physical dimension.

Ki be'ek melachto,

Since while the artist who created,

Designed this table,

Al'akhotab e'khnatsichlo m'idatsichlo,

His entire being,

His entire essence was injected into its creation,

In this case the table.

V'amistakeba p'yulav o'khushal bas'echil atamunbar.

So when you're looking at the table,

As we're living in this world,

World of physicality,

And you look at anything that exists within this physical dimension,

Including individuals,

People,

Including inanimate objects,

Ag'ehu bishat mal'sef davug bas'echil ato elutam.

So as you look at anything that is in existence in this physical dimension,

But you make an effort to put your mind to penetrate through this physicality,

To be able to connect,

To be able to understand,

To be able to read the mind behind what is in front of you,

The energy that exists,

That is concealed within this physicality of this world,

Da'ayin ushumi t'akhadim mamash.

You are able to unify your mind with the mind of the Creator behind this physical reality,

And you are capable to unify your essence with the essence of the Creator.

So,

There are so much of teachings and wisdom that are being revealed within the Tenement Assimilation,

Within these teachings,

To help each one of us to develop our mind,

To develop ourselves,

To develop our sensitivity for the energy that exists in this life,

In this world.

And as you become more sensitive,

As you open up more that type of an ability inside of you,

Eventually it will affect the way you experience everything with this physical dimension,

And within this experience you will be able to tap to a new level of clarity that will provide you with better abilities to make,

Eventually,

More of the right choices in your life.

So,

I'm very excited about this opportunity to take these teachings,

To break it down into sessions that are less than ten minutes,

So each one of us will be able to find the time to be part of this wisdom and to benefit from it.

Thank you so much,

Everybody.

Where can I find this full teaching? This is what I've been looking for.

I like it but it was definitely more of a teaching than a meditation. Suggestion if you, produce a podcast or video for YouTube of the teaching and link each teaching to three lengths of meditation 10 min., 25 min., and 50 min. taking key aspects the most important pieces, to focus on, contemplate, even a mantra of scripture that connect the teaching anchors it in this reality for the practitioner.
