Come and see: on Friday, when evening sets, a
shining star [of the kelipa] comes from the north [it is the
kelipa Storm Wind,1 from the side of gevura, north corresponding to the left2]
with seventy other stars [the power of the 70 ministers of the 70 nations];
the star smites [by illuminating] these [other] stars, which
become incorporated in that star and all seventy become one. That
star then expands and turns into a blazing flame [of strict judgments] on
all sides [these judgments being too strict to be rectified, they must be
stored away]. This flame is extended across a thousand [hinting to
chochma] mountains [the sefirot of netzach, hod and
yesod are in the secret of mountains when drawing down chochma],
and stands like a thread encircling them [i.e. this star encircles
these 3 sefirot, to be nurtured by them].
And this flaming mass draws to
itself other colors [from netzach, hod and yesod] that are
inside it. One color is green [related to the green shell, the inner peel, of
the walnut, the secret of the Storm Wind]. When this color is established,
that flame of fire jumps upon this green color and enters inside it; it
then throws the green color outward. The green color stays out, and the flame of
fire of that star is inside.
Afterwards it draws to
itself a second color, white [related to the hard shell of the walnut which
is white and relates to the Great Cloud]. This white color shone inside, but
after that color is established, the flame of fire of the star rose, expelling
the white color, and entering inside. The same procedure transpired with all the
other colors. It threw them out, went inside and approached the hidden point to
receive light [and flow].
BeRahamim LeHayyim: What does the above mean to you, and why is it
revealed to you now?
This is a selection from the "top secret" Shabbat
manual! It paints a wondrous picture of supernal celestial changes that
occur every Friday afternoon as the sun is setting. Just as Shabbat can be
considered the center of the week, with Sunday Monday Tuesday on one side, and
Wednesday Thursday Friday on the other, so too exists a spiritual Star related
to Shabbat which is at the center, and which subsumes all other elements from
the days of the week.
Make Shabbat your center, and She will make you Her center.
