Ki Tavo [When You Come]
New Zohar, Ki Tavo [When You Come]
1) Rabbi Shimon escaped to the desert of Lod and hid in a cave, he and his son, Rabbi Elazar. A miracle happened to them and a carob tree came out, and a fountain of water. They ate of that carob and drank of those waters, and Elijah would come to them twice each day and teach them, and no one knew of them.
10) Come out and see, a king who loved his son, even though he cursed him and smote him, he loved him deeply. When he shows great anger, his mercy is over him. So is the Creator: although He cursed, His words are with love. On the surface, they seem as curses, but they are great good, because those curses were with love.
18-20) Since the day when the world was created the Creator did not disclose His might so it is seen in the world, nor a time of good will, except on the way to Egypt. “For whereas you have seen Egypt,” in that same way and same manner will it be done to you.
Once all the other sides from the nations of the world gather over Israel, Israel will think that at that time they will be lost, and that they will be sold to their enemies, as it is written, “And there you shall sell yourselves.” It does not write, “And you were sold,” but “And you shall sell yourselves,” meaning that you will think in your hearts that you have been sold. But it is not so, as it is written, “And no man shall buy,” as there is no one who can rule over you.
All that will be at the end of days, and it all depends on repentance. One who has a heart will look and know to return to his Master.
21-22) Rabbi Shimon told him, “In which place did the redemption of Israel appear in those curses?” Elijah told him, “Look and behold the place that is worse than all the curses, there is the revelation of the time of redemption.” He looked, beheld, and found.
37-39) “The fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden.” This is the place in which spirits of people are concealed, the place called “the treasury of the souls,” and it is with the Creator. He told them, “You will not exert to know how the spirits spread from My precious Zivug.” The souls are born from a Zivug of ZA and Malchut. For this reason, there are males and females in the souls. It is known that the male light is poured from above downward in GAR, and female light is poured only from below upward, in VAK. For this reason, Adam HaRishon was commanded not to look at the elicitation of the souls from Malchut, who is the tree in the midst of the garden, for perhaps he would cling to male souls and he, too, would extend illumination of Hochma from that Zivug from above downward in the male light, for extension of Hochma from above downward is left without right and causes separation of ZA, the middle line, from Malchut, so that Malchut remains in left without right.
We learned about it, “If a woman inseminates and delivers a male child” is written, and not, “Comprising male and female,” as in the souls, in which each soul consists of male and female. It is as is done in the world, where in this world the males and females do not conjoin as they came out above, in the souls that emerge from ZON, who come out in pairs—male and female together.
For this reason, pairs do not come out in this world, too, since Adam HaRishon and his Zivug sinned before the Creator. For this reason, when the souls come out from above and descend to this world, the males part from the females until the Creator desires to reunite them.
