Ki Savou El HaAretz 5713, Class One. Introduction: Livushim, different types and advantages and disadvantages. What is unusual about THIS Ma’amar. This Ma’amar sees Livushim not only as tools of Tzimtzum, to reduce the divine light, to allow for worlds that are more and more real, but also as a “חיבור,” that allows and facilitates the lower world’s re-ascent upwards דוקא through Livushim. Without them you a have a נדב ואביהוא type tragedy. We learned the first and last Perek explaining that ארץ, which is מלכות and the lower worlds seeks connection, and won’t rest until it has it. This requires work (with the help and) through the Livushim. The work is שש שנים תזרע שדיך ושש שנים תזמור כרמיך ואספת את תבואתה The rest is ושבתה הארץ שבת להוי’ה.

Ki Savou El HaAretz 5713, Class Two. The Zohar speaks of a מלך who is served by a כהן. There are two (and specifically three) levels in this: 1) The מלך is מלכות דא”ק and the כהן is חכמה עילאה. 2) The מלך is בינה and the כהן are the מדות דז”א. 3) The מלך is מלכות דאצילות and the כהן is בי”ע. At first the כהן serves (משמש) the מלך but afterwards the כהן is rewarded אתעדל”ת אתעדל”ע. This is achieved by the פרסא that serves to hide the higher G-dliness from the lower levels; but this same פרסא also acts as a מחבר to allow what is below to ascend upwards without dying (like נדב ואביהו who were lacking clothing and they died).

Ki Savou El HaAretz 5713, Class Three. The three פרסאות are explored in detail: 1) From עשר ספירות הגנוזות to עשר ספירות הגלויות; the distance [like שמות and כחות עצמיים] [It works because 1) בידיעת עצמו בעצמותו יודע כל הנבראים and there the world (כהן) is present, 2) במי נמלך בנשמותיהם של צדיקים in Atzmus] 2) From מוחין (which is ביטול) to מדות (which is ישות) is also באין ערוך and through a פרסא. 3) From אצילות to בי”ע is also through a פרסא because of the enormous distance between them spiritually. [In the second and third levels the ideas that what is below matters to what is above is because of the (aforementioned) idea of במי נמלך בנשמותיהם של צדיקים]

Ki Savou El HaAretz 5713, Class Four. The Avoda of the three פרסאות: three loves: 1) רעותא דליבא above reason altogether 2) דחילו ורחימו שכליים (I believe that also includes אהוי”ר טבעית that is awakened by the mind). 3) קבלת עול מלכות שמים it is called אהבה ויראה because it is inspired (like תמים במעשיו) [this is a personal opinion]. The פרסאות serve to reverse the various צמצומים the פרסאות affected and they allow one to reconnect to Hashem דוקא due to these פרסאות!
