Unedited Transcript OfMessage # 570 - Part 3

Gate Of ReincarnationsRabbi Chaim Vital

Chapter 1Tape 1

Praise the Lord, we are picking up today in section two ofchapter one, and that is page two of your notes, of section two chapterone of the Gates of Reincarnation. This message today is going to bemore difficult than parts one and two, we are getting more technical,you will have to draw upon the knowledge some of the knowledgethat you acquired in our study of the Tree of Life, to follow through,but the basic principles that are coming forth here are very interestingand I find them very enlightening, among other things, I see anexplanation of why some people soar ahead in their spiritual studiesand other people have much more difficulty and other people justcannot get ahead at all.

1

Apparently, everyone that incarnates, incarnates at a particularlevel, and aside from the power of Jesus Christ, you are pretty muchtrapped in that level, it is sort of the account of the beggar the richman, when the rich man said, well actually it was the poor man saidto the rich man, there is a great gulf between us now and you cannot,well the whole church says, well the gulf that cannot be spanned isthat the poor man believes in Jesus Christ and the rich man does not,but it is much involved than that, and I have, if you just stop and thinkabout it, I have preached over the years in the doctrine of Christ thateach human being is a timeline and that there are many time lines inthis physical world, that you could be standing next to a person whoexists in a completely different time line, because timelines aremanifestations of mind.

Even though we are all occupying the same planet and peopleall look alike, they have two legs, to arms, to eyes, to ears, dependingupon where the person's mind is, different groups of people are in,they for all intents and purposes may be in different planets, that iswhy some people, you give them an opportunity and they get ahead,not only spiritual studies, in the world.

Some people you just give them the opportunity to learnsomething and they go ahead and they become successful and theybecome millionaires, other people you give them opportunity afteropportunity and they cannot get ahead. Well, when we were indeliverance, you know we would say,"Well, that is because they havea curse on their life." Well, it is true that there is a curse on their life,but we are looking at it today, looking at that curse in a much higherdimension, how is the curse manifesting? Well, when you incarnated,you incarnated in to a particular spiritual location. I am not talkingabout the physical country that you are living in, but you incarnateinto a particular spiritual location, and you are trapped there. Now, Ibelieve in Christ, we can move out of the position that we incarnatein, but for most people you have to die and incarnate in the next level. The walls are so high that you just cannot get out, you cannot ascend.

I have ascended, I have gone through several levels so far inthis lifetime, but some people they just cannot, they are just stuck,they just cannot budge. Well, it is a curse yes, what form is the cursetaking? The curse is the position that you incarnated in, you are in

2

sand up to your neck, and you cannot move, but if you could just hearthe voice of the son of God, he will help you to get out, but it is justthe truth that the people who incarnate in this difficult place, it isgoing to be much harder for you than for somebody who incarnatedinto a freer place. The Lord is no respecter of persons, but we havebeen preaching here for years that everybody does not come into theworld with an equal inheritance, the people are not equal. Jesus isequal, the opportunity that Jesus gives everybody is equal, but thepeople are not equal. One person might have to fight a great dealharder than another person to achieve the same end. It depends onwhere you start from.

Let us go on and try to understand this a little more because itis really, this teaching is just really blessing me, and I believe thatwith all of the possibilities of subjects that we could be studying inKabbalah, the very fact that the Lord led me to this web site whereGate of Reincarnations is being translated and that he told me to startteaching it, is in direct response to my cry to understand some of thedifficulties of my life, and this message is really helping me. I justneed understanding, if I could just understand what I am goingthrough, and what it is all about, and what my future is, it makes itvery tolerable for me. I do hope that this teaching is as great ablessing to you. It is always a good thing to understand what positionyou are in spiritually, what position you are in, and what yourpossibilities are, and what you have to do to move on.

Let us take a look at this. Well let me just say one more thing,you know for years I would... that Scripture just mystified me whereJesus was walking and he met the first two men that he called hisdisciples, and they looked at him and they said, "Where do you dwellRabbi?" He said, "Come and see." The two potential disciples wentand spent some time or I think they spent the night with him, I am notexactly sure what the Scripture says, and they left Jesus' presence,telling everybody we have found the Messiah, and I used to say in mycarnality, I used to say, "Well, they slept over at Jesus' house, how dothey know that he is Messiah?" These two Hebrew men were spiritualenough to try the spirit on this man Jesus, they had listened to whathe had to say, and they were able to perceive that his spirit or his soulif you want to say came out of this very high place, which identified

3

him as Messiah. Jesus had a physical body just like any other man, helooked just like every other man. If you did not have spiritual eyes,you could not tell that he was different than any other man. The signwas what the man had to say, because what we say reveals thespiritual place where we dwell.

Whatever Jesus said to them, I do not know what he said tothem, whatever he said to them, it convinced these two young Hebrewmen that he was Messiah. Now remember, in those days, most of youknow Hebrew men were educated, from three years old they went toYeshiva, I do not know why Peter was not educated, he was afisherman, I really do not know how it worked there, but my under-standing is all Hebrew boys had to go to school, from three years oldthey have to prepare to be Bar Mitzvahed, so these two disciples, theyknew what they were looking for in Messiah, that Jesus was this,because of his mind, they judged his mind, that was where he was,that he dwelled in this high place, even higher than Moses. Praise theLord.

Let us follow along with our notes. However, even this Nefeshhas many levels, now we are talking about the five levels of soul,which just for review are, the lowest one is Nefesh, then comes theRuach, then comes the Neshamah, which is the mind of God. Well letme start again, the Nefesh is the personality of the flesh, it is thepersonality and attributes that flow in the blood that is in the veins ofthis physical body, the Ruach is the spiritual personality, the Nefeshis the animal personality, the Ruach is the spiritual personality, theNefesh is the mind of God that is added to you. The Chayyah, I do notreally have a clear understanding of what that Chayyah is, I believeit has to do with a higher morality. Somebody just told me that I saidNefesh instead of Neshamah, so I will start over again. The Nefesh is the animal soul, or the animal personality that flows inthe red blood of the veins of this physical body. The Ruach is thespiritual personality, which is the beginning of our ability to relate toGod, then comes the Neshamah which is the mind of God, which isadded to us.

The Chayyah has to do with a higher level of morality. I thinkwhat came forth in the previous message was political conscience, ahigher level of morality. Finally, Yechida which means oneness and

4

that is a place of closeness to God, those are the five levels of soul. Every man is born with a Nefesh, and some human beings never goany higher or never acquire any aspects of soul other than Nefesh. This is what we are reading about in our notes now. However, eventhis Nefesh is personality or soul that flows in the blood of thephysical body, has many levels, and this is because Asiyah itselfdivides into five Partzufim. Asiyah is the name of one of the fiveworlds. Can anybody tell us the names of the five worlds? Anybodywant to try that?

COMMENT: Asiyah, Yetzirah, Beriah, and Atzilut. PASTOR VITALE: You left one, you left one out did you

not? You said, Asiyah, Yetzirah, Beriah. Well, that is pretty good,there is one more, what is the last one?

COMMENT: Atzilut?PASTOR VITALE: Well, Atzilut is the highest for us, but

beyond that is the world of Adam Kadmon. That is the five worlds. Asiyah is the world of action, it is this present world, Yetzirah can belikened to the astral plane, it supposedly looks just like this exceptthat it is not solid. Beriah is the world of creation, and above that isthe world of Atzilut, which is the world of emanation, which is thebody of Adam Kadmon, the world of emanation is the body of AdamKadmon, and of course Adam Kadmon is the creator. Also thischapter talks about the Partzufim. Now we really, I have spoken toyou somewhat about the Partzufim in our studies of Tree of Life, butwe never really did get into a deep study of them.

However, I have on the board drawing number one, just toremind you that the Partzufim first of all means personality and eachPartzufim or the actual concept of Partzufim is a grouping of Sefirotto represent a personality for the specific purpose of the Sefirotinteracting with one another. That is the ultimate goal that the Sefirotshould be able to interact with one another to produce the nature ofGod. I have on the board the ten Sefirot, and we see that the Partzufassociated with the Keter is called Arik Anpin. In other words, welllet me go down this line for us. The Partzuf associated withChokhmah is Abba, the Partzuf associated with Binah is Imma, andAbba and Imma are the Hebrew words for father and mother. Then wehave six limbs what is called the six limbs, the six limbs of Ze'ir

5

Anpin or the son, the Sefirot, Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach,Hod, and Yesod, all comprise Ze'ir Anpin which is the son of Abbaand Imma. Then we have Malkhut, the tenth Sefirot and the Partzufassociated with Malkhut is Nukvah. Nukvah is the daughter of Abbaand Imma.

In other words, if the Keter wanted to interact with the Binahfor example, in that function of interacting with another Sefirot, theytake on the personality of the Partzufim. If the Keter wanted tointeract with Binah, Keter would approach Binah as Arik Anpin. IfBinah wanted to speak to her son Ze'ir Anpin, or if Binah wanted tospeak to her son, which is the six limbs below her, she would take ona garment or a covering or a personality of mother, and speak to thesix together as her son Ze'ir Anpin. Another way to put it is if therewas a natural family, let us say I had a natural family, let us say I hadten children, I am a preacher, I work full time, I have a ministry, butI am also a mother, and I wanted to approach my family, I hadsomething to say to my family.

I would not approach my family as a preacher or a teacher, Iwould approach my family as mother, I would say, I am your mother,and I would like to talk to you. You who are a doctor, please come tomy house, I want to talk to you, this son, you are a lawyer, come tomy house, that son, you are a school teacher, come to my house, allof these men and women who would have lives and wives and careersof their own. I would approach them as mother and say, as my sonplease come to my house, I want to talk to you. This is the conceptof the partzufim, it is the garment or the face that is either a single ora group of Sefirot take on for the purpose of communicating withother Sefirot. I think that is the best explanation of the Partzufim Ihave given you to date, because as you know, I am studying andlearning as I go along myself. Are there any questions on the Sefirot? I know at one point, somebody was asking me the difference betweenMalkhut and Nukvah, and I really did not know the answer. Today Ihave just given you the answer.

Malkhut is one of the ten Sefirot, but if Malkhut wants to havea relationship with Yesod, she takes on the garment of Nukvah andshe speaks to Ze'ir Anpin, because Yesod is just one aspect of the son,who is her betrothed. Is everybody all right with that? Any questions

6

on that? Let us go on, however even this Nefesh, that is the lowestworld has many levels, and this is because Asiyah itself divides intofive Partzufim, and their names are Arik Anpin, Abba, Imma, Ze'irAnpin and Nukva de'Zer Anpin, in other words the Nukvah of the onethat is betrothed to Ze'ir Anpin. The world Partzuf and the plural isPartzufim literally means face. In the Kabbalah it also refers to theentire human shape. Each Partzufim theoretically has a shape, justlike us, it has a human shape, each Partzufim has arms and legs anda head, a nose, mouth, ears, for the purposes of understanding them.

In general, there are ten Sefirot, the Keter, the Chokhmah, theBinah, Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malkhut.However each one is a localized version of the entire system, eachSefirot has within it another ten Sefirot, and each of those ten haswithin it another ten Sefirot, at infinitum. These Sefirot can be likenedto the cells, like we have trillions of cells in the human body, theSefirot can be likened to spiritual cells. In other words it is possibleto discern within each Sefirot, or within each one of the ten Sefirot,I am sorry, I am reading now. In other words it is possible to discernwithin each one of them, within each Sefirot ten subjective Sefirot,and within each one of those ten others, etc. This may be likened toa photograph taken with a hologram where any detail may be blownup to reveal all the basic information that is contained in the wholephotograph. All the basic information of the whole is contained in thedetail and the detail contains all the basic information found in thewhole. When we see a number of Sefirot joined together workingtogether and functioning together as a system, they are called aPartzuf. You might say to yourself, well Pastor Vitale, the Keter isonly one, that is not a system, Chokhamah, that is only one, Binahand Malkhut, they are only one, that is not a system, what are youtalking about?

According to the Kabbalistic teachings there are I believe fourPartzuf in each of these, in each of Arik Anpin, Abba and Imma, I amnot sure about Nukvah, but there is four each in Keter, in the Keter,in Arik Anpin which is Keter, Abba which is Chokhmah and Immawhich is Binah. Now what I am going to do as we approach sectioneight of this message, I am going to go to another teaching which I amprobably going to put under a different name and different number

7

and just reference it in this series, we are going to go into a full studyof the Partzufim and I will reveal to you the different Partzufim or thefour Partzufim within each of Arik Anpin, Abba, and Imma, and wewill go into those details as we approach, just before we start section8 here. When we finish section 7, because section 8 deals in moredepth with the Partzufim, so I want to prepare you for that with thisother message, and I do not know what we will call it yet, probablyjust the Partzuf, the Partzufim. Is everybody all right? Let us go onwith this message today.

Each Partzuf has a unique name, and these correspond to thenames of the Sefirot, the names of the soul and the names of theworlds, as discussed previously. Now if you look at drawing numbertwo which is a chart, what we are really being told is that, if you lookat the second line for example, Chayyah, Atzilut, Chokhmah, andAbba, they can all be used interchangeably, Chayyah, life force,Atzilut emanation, Chokhmah wisdom, Abba father. All of thosenames can be used interchangeably, and I know that when I wasteaching the Tree Of Life and Kabbalah study, I would go back andforth with these names and I could not explain to you why I use theminterchangeably, it was just what was coming out of my mouth, as theLord moved upon me to teach. Here we see a witness that all of thesenames can be used interchangeably. What this chart is showing us isthe name of the world, which is, let us take the top row, well I amtaking the second row down because on the top row, one square is notfilled in, let us start with the Chayyah.

The Chayyah is the level of soul, and we are told the Englishof Chayyah is life force. We are told that the Chayyah is the life forceof the levels of soul below it, that is the Neshamah, the Ruach, and theNefesh. The Chayyah is associated with the world called Atzilut, andthe English of Atzilut is emanation, the world of emanation. Nowboth the Chayyah the life force and Atzilut the world of emanation areassociated with and actually on the same level with Chokhamah,which is wisdom, and all of the previous three, the Chayyah, the lifeforce, Atzilut, the world of emanation, the Chokhmah which iswisdom, they are all associated with and are actually the same as thePartzuf called Abba, the English of which is father. Is anybody havinga problem with this? No.

8

The Neshamah is a level of soul which in English meansbreath, although we teach here that it is the mind of God, theKabbalists call it the breath of God, I call it, the doctrine of Christcalls it the mind of God, or Christ centered Kabbalah calls it the mindof God that is associated with the world of Beriah, which is creation,and both the Neshamah, Neshamah the breath, and Beriah the worldof creation are associated with Binah, the Sefirah Binah, which meansunderstanding, and all three of the Neshamah which means breath, theworld of Beriah which is the world of creation and Binah whichmeans understanding, they are all associated with and are actually thesame thing as the Partzuf called Imma, the English of which ismother. Then we have the Ruach which is a level of soul, the Englishof which means wind, and the Ruach is associated with the worldcalled Yetzirah, the English of which is formation. Then we have theRuach which is wind, that is associated with Yetzirah which is theworld of formation is on the same level with and actually is the samething as the six Sefirot of Chesed through Yesod, which are associ-ated with the Partzuf called Ze'ir Anpin.

The English for Ze'ir Anpin is, the short face, and thesignificance of the short face is that, Ze'ir Anpin is short on mercy,judgement falls much more swiftly from the short face than from thelong face, and the long face of course is Arik Anpin, for some reasonI did not read the top line of this chart to you, so let me jump up therenow. The level of soul called Yechida which means singular hasaccording to this chart has no world associated with it, but we havebeen taught that Yechida is associated with the world of AdamKadmon. Try to understand that there are different Kabbalisticschools that they all basically teach the same thing, most of the time,not all of the time, but they may have different variations in theirteachings, the book of the Tree of Life which we studied from, namesa fifth world, and that world is named Adam Kadmon. The man whois translating this work is a chasid and perhaps they do not believe innaming the world of Adam Kadmon. I do not know why he has itblank here. The Yechida which is singular is on the same plane as thefifth world which is called Adam Kadmon, and both the Yechida andAdam Kadmon are on the same level, and actually the same as theSefirot called the Keter, which means crownlets. The reason Keter,

9

the reason that level is called Keter crownlets is because it is thehighest Sefirot and it crowns, it is on top of all of the rest.

The Partzuf that is associated with Yechida, the level of soulwhich is singular and the Sefirot called Keter which is crownlets, thenin of the Partzuf is Arik Anpin which is called the long face, and thelong face means there is great mercy coming from this high level,great long suffering mercy, much more so than the mercy that comesfrom Ze'ir Anpin. Now we know today that the glorified Jesus Christis manifesting Arik Anpin to the world, the whole world is forgiven,and Ze'ir Anpin who also has mercy, but on a much shorter string isthe son of the Lord Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus in the individual.Remember all judgment is given over to the son. The correctivejudgment that will restore the world to righteousness is not comingfrom the glorified Jesus Christ. It is coming from Christ Jesus in men.That judgment that is falling is in direct proportion to the level ofrighteousness that, that individual man has ascended to. Praise theLord, then the last level, the last row of this chart, we deal with a levelof soul called Nefesh which means rested, because that is the lowestlevel of soul and all the other levels of soul rest in it, that Nefesh isassociated with the world called Asiyah, the English of which isaction, that is this world. The Sefirot that is associated with theNefesh and the Asiyah is called Malkhut, the English of which iskingdom, and the reason Malkhut is called the kingdom is because theearth or the land is here in Malkhut. You cannot have a kingdom ifyou do not have any land. The very word kingdom implies thisphysical place, or at least this visible place that can be ruled over, akingdom is something that can be ruled over, you have to be able tosee it. The Partzuf associated with Malkhut is Nukvah de'Zer Anpin,meaning the feminine, and Nukvah is the name of the daughter, thisparticular writer says Nukvah de'Zer Anpin meaning the Nukvah orthe wife of Ze'ir Anpin, which is the son. Everybody all right withthat, that should have been a review for you. Oh I see there is more onthe next page. Nukvah de'Zer Anpin is the feminine, is the feminineconsort of Ze'ir Anpin the short or the near face. Are there anyquestions on that? It should be noted that the Sefirot according to thenames of the Partzufim resemble a family tree of three generations,grandfather, parent, child and his bride. Before a person can merit to

10

attain his Ruach from the world of Yetzirah, he must first be completein all of the five Partzufim of the Nefesh of Asiyah.

Now, first of all, let me remind you that we are weavingtogether this study, the Gate of Reincarnations, with the Christcentered Kabbalah which is based on the doctrine of Christ, theKabbalistic doctrine of Isaac Luria woven together with the doctrineof Christ is called Christ centered Kabbalah, because we believe thatthere is great and powerful good and very interesting and valuableinformation in Isaac Luria's teachings, but that the foundation, hisfoundational premise is error, we believe that it is error. We believethat it is not possible to be perfected by any physical or even mentalworks, that perfection can only come to pass through union with theone who is already perfected, and that immortality can only beattained through union with the only one in whom true immortalityrests. When we read here before a person can merit to attain hisRuach, we have to make sure that everyone reading this transcript orlistening to this tape understands that we do not agree, that anyonecan merit ascension of soul.

The principle here is that every human being is born with aNefesh, and that the other four levels of soul, or the other three levelsof soul, have to be acquired. According to Kabbalistic teaching, youhave to merit them, you have to do what is called the Mitzvot, certainactions, the Kabbalistic teaching makes it very clear that you canmerit additional aspects of soul by actions, by physical actions, bythings that you do, and by studying the Torah, and we do not believethat, that is true, and we certainly claim that this has not happened tothe Jew practicing this method, if anything the Jew over the genera-tions certainly over the last two thousand years has, or let me say itthis way, the spiritual heights of the Jew over the two thousand yearshas deteriorated.

Now, there still may be some Jews that have great minds, butthey are very few and far between, certainly much less than they weretwo thousand years ago, and two thousand years ago there were lessmen with great minds then, for the five hundred years prior to that,because at the time that Jesus was born, a prophet had not appearedin Israel for I believe four hundred, I believe it is four hundred years,at one point I thought it was five hundred years, but today, it seems

11

that it is four hundred years. There was no prophet in Israel. Eversince the prophets were removed from Israel, the mind of Israel atlarge, this great mind which is really the additional mind of God thatrested in Israel has been deteriorating for at least twenty four hundredor more years, the great mind of God that rested in Israel has beendeteriorating, getting less and less and less. Now my understandingof the Kabbalistic response to this would be, well this is becauseIsrael is not doing what they are supposed to be doing, they are notstudying the Torah, they are not keeping the Mitzvot, and at somepoint, and this is my words now, but this is I believe the substance ofwhat Kabbalah is teaching, at some point the period of grace will runout and Messiah will come despite the fact that the men of Israel arenot doing what they are supposed to be doing, and Messiah will comewith judgment, and millions of people are going to die. Now I do nothave any clear word on that from the Lord, but I would hope, I wouldlike to believe that the millions of people that are going to die will bepeople dying to their carnal mind. I certainly hope that, that will bethe case, but whatever must be, let it be, just let Messiah come and letthe powers and principalities that wage war continuously in thisphysical realm, be put under authority that we might acquire thepromises of the Scripture, and live in peace and contentment. Wecannot live in peace and contentment unless we are serving God, it isimpossible to live in peace and contentment without serving God.

This country and the Christendom in the condition that it is intoday, you cannot live in peace and contentment aborting the babiesthat you have conceived through fornication and adultery, and evenif you conceive the children in marriage, you cannot be living anexistence murdering babies, looking at pornography, and engaging inall forms of reprobate activity, as well as hating your brother, thehidden sins of the heart. You will never live in peace and contentmentas long as you are doing these things, therefore the correctivejudgment must come, the national judgment must come, these lawsthat permit this wicked behavior must be repealed and each individualmust have his own self revealed to him, his own wicked self. TheScripture says the heart of man is desperately wicked, that means you,it does not mean your brother, it means you, it means you and itmeans me, my heart is desperately wicked and so is yours. I do not

12

care if you have been in church every Sunday for your whole life,your heart is desperately wicked, and the issue at hand here is that theLord Jesus Christ has made a way to give us a new heart, he has madea way to graft righteousness to us.

If you love righteousness, if you hate the idea that your heartis desperately wicked, then you may gravitate into Christ, but you canonly do it following his rules. You cannot make up your own rules. The rules, the way that the Lord Jesus has laid out, is that you mustlook upon the heart within you that is desperately wicked, you mustlook upon it, you must see it, you must recognize it, and you mustreject it, not in general principle, you must see it operating in you, andsay, "No, I resist you." That is the way out, and you cannot change it,neither can you jump from square A to square Z, you must gothrough, you must look, and I remind you that Moses did not enterinto the promised land because he was afraid to look, that is what theScripture says. Moses, the great Moses was afraid to look.

Each of us, when we have Christ grafted to us, we are greaterthan Moses, we have the strength to look, you can do it, you can doit, you can do it, in Christ we can do all things, we can look at thewickedness of our heart and we can say as Paul said, it is no longer Ibut sin that dwelleth in me, but you must look. You will not goforward with denial, you must look, you will not go forward with ageneral repentance, you will not go forward convincing yourself thatwhat you have is a potential that you have not done this wickedness,you will not go forward, you will not. You must take the path that islaid out for you, you must look, and you must embrace the truth if youwant to get to the other side. Praise the Lord, and the other side isimmortality in Christ Jesus.

To get on with our study here, before a person can merit toattain his Ruach, what does that mean? The whole principle here ofreincarnation as I have mentioned in previous messages, is thatreincarnation is a road map for spiritual ascension. Reincarnation isa road map for spiritual ascension. You start out with your Nefesh,you get Lord willing a Ruach added to you, and then you get aNeshamah added to you, then you get a Chayyah added to you, andthen you get a Yechida added to you, and you ascend above sin. Ofcourse, it is not that simple, because we are told that each world is

13

subdivided into five Partzufim and that each Partzuf is divided intoanother five Partzufim. This gets very complicated, in other words,to get beyond Nefesh, we must migrate or ascend from the Nefesh ofthe Nefesh to the Nefesh of the Ruach to the Nefesh of the Neshamah,to the Nefesh of the Chayyah, to the Nefesh of the Yechida, and thenyou are just up to the Ruach of the Nefesh. I am going to put all thison the board for you, it is much more complicated than it appears tobe, but we are going to take a closer look at it. Let me read you thissentence again, before a person can merit to attain his Ruach, we areall born with a Nefesh, and we are all hoping to have a Ruach addedto us. Remember the Nefesh is the animal soul. Every human beinghas an animal soul.

Brethren we are animals, we are spiritual beings that havebeen woven together with an animal nature, not only an animal body,but an animal nature. Our foundational spirit, our mortal foundation,that which never dies, that worm that never dieth, that Jesus talksabout, that is woven together with an animal nature as well as ananimal body, and most people in this world live out of that animalnature. Very few ascend higher. Now, the way, the description of theascension, the way it is couched in Kabbalistic terms is your Ruachis added to you. You start out as an animalistic being and yourspiritual personality or your spirit soul is added to you. That is whatwe are saying here. Before a person can merit to attain his Ruach. Inother words, if you want to ascend beyond the condition that you werein when you were born, you were born with an animal nature and youwant that spiritual nature added to you, in order to merit to attain toit, and of course that Ruach comes from the world of Yetzirah, theNefesh, the animal nature comes from the world of Asiyah, and theRuach, the spiritual personality, or the spiritual nature comes from theworld of Yetzirah.

If you want to attain to the next world, what is another way tosay that, if you want to become spiritual, what you are really saying,or another way to say what you are saying is, you would like yourRuach added to you, or you can say you would like to ascend fromAsiyah to Yetzirah. We have some people here that have been hopingand praying for years to become spiritual, and they have made verylittle progress. Now we can take a look at this and see exactly what

14

the problem is, and hopefully find a solution to the problem. I workwith a word processing program called Word Perfect, and sometimesI am typing a document, and something is wrong, I cannot get it tochange from single to double space or I cannot get it to change from14 point font to a 12 point font, something is just really wrong, Icannot see what the problem is, and this Word Perfect program hassomething called reveal codes, you click on it and it opens up awindow where you see in the background all of the codes that you,see on your main screen all you see is the typewritten letters, butwhen the window opens and you see the codes, I can see what theproblem is.

Oh, that is why it will not, I cannot get the document fromdouble space to single space, because there is a code in there that isblocking it. This code that was invisible when I was just looking atthe typewritten script, I had to open this window and see the codes orhave the codes in the background revealed to me, and then I could seewhat the problem is. Sometimes we have a physical problem, thedoctor does not know what is wrong until he opens you up, he has toopen you up and take a look at what is going on inside of you.

Well if you have been doing everything that you could do foryears and you are still carnal, there has to be something operatingbehind the scenes in you that is stopping you from going forward.This teaching I believe is designed to reveal what that is, and once wecan see exactly what the problem is, I believe the Lord is going to doexploits for the people who have truly been seeking him for years, andhave not been able to go on, as they watch other people soar passthem. What is the problem? Jesus is not a respecter of persons, thereis something in your spiritual makeup that is blocking you. Let us getit revealed and then find out what the solution, well the solution isalways Christ, you know, and as you may know by now that when theLord does a teaching like this, just as he teaches it, as the reason whyyou are blocked comes forth, the deliverance comes forth in theteaching. The spirit that is bringing forth the teaching is bringing forththe deliverance. This ministry is under a miracle anointing right nowto deliver people who are blocked from going on to spirituality, thatis what is happening here right now. I exhort you all to keep yourhands clean, keep your mind clean, stay in obedience and get

15

everything that God has for you, it is just not worth rising up inrebellion or pride, it is just not worth it. Just humble yourself, humbleyourself, and receive this word that is going to set you free.

I am back on that same sentence, before a person can merit toattain to his Ruach, before you can deserve to become spiritual, causeyou are born carnal, before you can deserve to become spiritual,which means attaining to the world of Yetzirah, or another way to sayit is before you can begin to function in the astral plane or before youcan begin to function in the spirit, you must first be complete in all ofthe five Partzufim of the Nefesh of Asiyah. Now what this is saying,let me put this on the board for you. Drawing #3 is on the board, thisdiagram is of the complete world of Asiyah, and as you could seethere are twenty five elements of Asiyah. We start out with the fivelevels of soul, Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayyah, and Yechida, buteach one of these levels of soul has the five levels of soul within it.The Nefesh of Asiyah has within it a Nefesh, a Ruach, a Neshamah,a Chayyah, and a Yechida. Just like each Sefirot has another tenSefirot inside of it, everybody understands that here I believe, you justtake this column, this is the Nefesh of Asiyah, that is what we are allborn with, the Nefesh, the Nefesh of Asiyah has a Nefesh, Ruach,Neshamah, Chayyah and Yechida in it.

Now on a previous message it had to be part two, I think itwas part two, if not it was part one. I mentioned to you all, pardon menot Chayyah, I thought I was already beginning to manifest in Ruach,and I had in my mind that I had moved from the world of Asiyah tothe beginning of the world of Ruach, and now I find out that, that isnot true, probably where I moved from was the Nefesh of the Nefeshto the Ruach of the Nefesh. How do I come to that conclusion? Mylife is still very carnal. I still get sickness in my body, I still haveproblems in my emotions, I still have problems with my mind, I have,I struggle in every area, I have trouble with my weight, I have troublewith disciplining myself to exercise, I have all the problems of humanbeings, how could I possibly on the next level of soul which is Ruach,is very high, I did not understand this in part two. Does anybody notknow what I am talking about? Everyone is born with a Nefesh, andmost people come into the world down here, with the Nefesh of theNefesh, and then these other four levels of soul, Ruach, Neshamah,

16

Chayyah, and Yechida of the Nefesh are added to you as you mature,and as you become a spiritual person. Some people never go fromNefesh to Ruach, this is where humanity is, we are all down in thiscorner here, the Nefesh of the Nefesh, we are pretty low. We are outerdarkness, we are as far away from God as you could get in this world.Now I filled in all of these names because I want you to understandwhat I am saying here, but the truth is that we come into the worldwith a blank slate, except for this corner down here, Nefesh of Nefesh.Maybe I am going to do that, maybe we will make that anotherdrawing. I gave a number to the five levels of soul under Nefesh andto the five levels of soul under Ruach, just to make this point to you,and this is the kind of terminology you will hear as we go on with thisstudy. Number one is the Nefesh of the Nefesh of the world ofAsiyah, number two is the Ruach of the Nefesh of the world ofAsiyah. There is another whole world after this called Ruach. Nowthere is another whole world after that called Neshamah, this is justthe world of Asiyah, Number three is the Neshamah of the Nefesh ofthe world of Asiyah. Number four is the Chayyah of the Nefesh of theworld of Asiyah, and number five down here is the Yechida of theNefesh of the world of Asiyah, and after that you go back down to thebeginning, you now have the Nefesh of the Ruach of the world ofAsiyah.

These are all levels of soul that we are ascending through. Thisis the procedure, these rungs of the ladder as you climb up intospiritual greatness, the end of which is immortality. These are therungs of the ladder. Then you go to the Ruach of the Ruach of Asiyah,now according to what I read, to even get to the Nefesh of theNeshamah is very high, and that most people do not have it, but wehave a secret, those of us that truly have the mind of Christ, we aregrafted in a very high place, but it is not us, but I should not be tellingyou that now. I just want you to understand this principle right here.Aside from what we get when Christ acquires us. This is the man thatis born into this world, and the average man is in this corner of theworld of action. Does anybody have any questions or not understandthis at all? The average man is born, is that what you want me torepeat? Right here in this very low place, you have a Nefesh which isthe animal nature, the Nefesh of the Nefesh, the lowest aspect of the

17

animal nature that you could be born with that you could have, that iswhat the average man is born with. Does everybody understand whatis on the board? Yeah?

COMMENT: Then, it continues on for the Neshamah thesame way and the Chayyah and Yechida, it goes the same, you haveto go through each level from Nefesh to the Yechida on theNeshamah?

PASTOR VITALE: Right, and if you ever get here to theYechida of the Yechida, then the next jump is a quantum leap into theworld of the Ruach, at which point you would start all over again, theNefesh of the Nefesh of the world of the Ruach. Each of the worldshas five levels that we have to ascend to. If there are five worlds and,well there are twenty five levels in each world. There are five levelsof soul in each world, and each level of soul has another five withinit, so there is twenty five levels times five worlds to get to the top, atwhich point you are beyond genius you know. We are very, very lowdown, we have fallen pretty much as far as we could fall in this world.Yes?

COMMENT: Does that mean a hundred and twenty fiveworlds?

PASTOR VITALE: If your math is right yes, a hundred andtwenty five worlds, you are right. Yes.

COMMENT: I do not have a Scripture that comes to mindbut I am just getting an image of the mountains and valleys.

PASTOR VITALE: Is everybody all right? I am going to justalter this drawing here. Drawing #4, I have emptied out all of thesections except where we exist and you could see how very low downthe human beings of this world are. The human beings of this worldexist in outer darkness. Jesus called it outer darkness and it is actuallythe Nefesh of the Nefesh of the world of Asiyah. We live in the farcorner of the world, as far away from God as is possible. Now we aretold that some people are rooted, we are born when we incarnate, weare rooted in a particular level of soul, and that is why you are stuckwhere you are. Short of a miracle from Jesus Christ, you will neverbe spiritual in your lifetime, I believe you are going to get yourmiracle, but you have to understand why it is so much harder for youthan for other people, it has to do with where you are born, and what

18

is interesting is that we have seen this example throughout society forgenerations.

You were born in a particular social status and you could notget out of it, in other countries, you know if you were born as an, eventoday in India, if you are born as untouchable, it is like almostimpossible to rise out of it. Maybe if you came to the United Stateswhere nobody knows who you are, just socially speaking, you mightbe able to ascend out of it. In Europe up until World War II, up untilthat time, even Winston Churchill was the second son in those days,the first son inherited everything, all the money, all the power, all theauthority of the family, and it was up to his beneficiants to give it tohis brother or sisters, depending if he was a wicked man, the brothersor sisters got nothing, they were completely at his mercy. If you wereborn as the first son, you got it all. If you were born as the second sonor the third son, you had lower status in the family, in families thathave as many as six, eight, or ten children, if you were the tenth childyou have very low status. If you are born as a female, you have a verylow status, this is all just the social morés of this world, but in morerecent times in this country, all of those worlds, all of those walls arebreaking down, it does not matter if you are the first son or the sixthson, or the tenth son, you have equal opportunity as far as the worldis concerned to go out to make your living, to make money, eventoday, parents leave an inheritance for their children, they distributeit equally, that whole concept of giving everything to the older son,or only to the son and not to the daughter, that has all been done awaywith since World War II, and that I believe is the natural sign that thesame thing is happening in the spirit.

Everybody that is born is born in a spiritual place, your root,you appear in this world, but your root comes out of a spiritual place,the Nefesh of the Nefesh. You are either in the Nefesh of the Nefeshof the Nefesh or you are in the Ruach of the Nefesh of the Nefesh ofthe world of Asiyah. As far as I know there is only two places that thepeople that are in this world today come out of, but there could beothers I just do not know about it, people being born in a very highspiritual place. I am not aware of that, you know, but that does notmean it does not exist. Basically, people are born in two conditions,either they are born spiritual with some spiritual ability, or they are

19

born without that spiritual ability, that is how I see the masses ofpeople in this world. Some people are just naturally spiritual, andother people just, it just goes way over their head. Those are the twocategories that I see amongst the common people, the average man inthe world today. Either your root, your spiritual root is in the Nefeshof the Nefesh of the Nefesh of the world of Asiyah or your spiritualroot is in the Ruach of the Nefesh of the Nefesh of the world ofAsiyah.

Where you are determines how spiritual you are. Now, inJesus Christ, this is changed. When Jesus Christ comes into your life,well especially if you have the seed of Christ, even the Holy Spirit,the Holy Spirit given to you is your Ruach. When you receive theHoly Spirit, you receive the Ruach, the spiritual personality, whatdoes that mean? What is a spiritual personality? A spiritual personal-ity is a personality that is interested in spiritual things. If you areinterested in reading the Bible, you are interested in spiritual things,if you are interested in hearing what a preacher has to say or praisingthe Lord if your heart if your emotions are responding to the move ofthe spirit, you have something spiritual moving in you, and thatmeans most likely, you have your Ruach of the Nefesh of the Nefeshof the world of Asiyah. You receive that from the Lord in the form ofthe Holy Spirit, and in the same way, as you go on with God, whenyou receive the seed of Christ, you receive your Neshamah. You seethat we are not, those of us who receive the Holy Spirit and Neshamahfrom Jesus Christ, we are not going through the procedures outlinedin Kabbalistic reincarnation.

The procedures listed in Kabbalistic reincarnation says, youreally have to die you know to, you have to do the best you can, youhave to rectify your soul in this world, and then you die, and then youcome back again rooted in the higher level. Kabbalistic reincarnationsays you cannot change your root. Once you are born in to this worldand you are rooted in the Neshamah of the Neshamah of the world ofAsiyah, part of you can ascend, and we will get to the details of thatlater, part of you can ascend but your root will always be in theNefesh. It says, even if you get up to the Yechida of the Nefesh, yourroot will still be in the Nefesh of the Nefesh. That is just like insocietal circles where there is a lot of you know snobbery, they will

20

say, Well you, this is the whole concept behind the term nouveauriche if you have ever heard of it, nouveau riche is a term applied bywhat is called old money, families that have had a lot of money for along time, and also are in higher society. They call the people whomake a lot of money, like they come to this country and they make alot of money, but they never polish up socially, they do not have thesocial graces and they do not have the sophistication that the oldmoney has, they are called nouveau riche, that is a French term thatmeans new wealth, new wealth as opposed to old wealth. You mayhave the money but you do not have the class, and in a lot of placesno matter how rich you are, they do not want you if you do not haveany class.

That is what this is talking about, when you are born rooted inthe Nefesh of the Nefesh of the world of Asiyah, you may climb up,but you may have manifestations of spirituality, but you will alwaysbe rooted down where you came from. You have to die and comeback rooted in a higher place. Now in Jesus Christ this is changed, butit is not changing easily. This is not a free gift. What the free gift is,the free gift is your Ruach, your ability to ascend above your Nefesh,but then you have to work it, if you do not work it, it is not going towork. You have to work it to get the mind of Christ, and then onceyou get the mind of Christ, if you are not willing, if you are notwilling to turn against your own carnal mind, you will not go anyhigher, that is as far as Jesus is going to go. Praise the Lord. Doeseverybody understand this principle, I never understood that, eventhough, even though I have preached that there are people in differentworlds just standing next to each other on the street, and that theworld that you are in is manifested by the way you think. SomehowI never took that understanding this far, to understand that when wecome into the world, just as we come into the world depending onwho we are born to, and that is already affecting our entire future,who you are born to, the country that you are born in, the mother andthe father that you are born to has already set the stage for therestrictions on your life or the opportunities on your life, in the sameway, we come into this world, we flow out of a particular level ofsoul, and we bring that with us into this world, and we are rootedthere. That is why some people just go flying, when they just, look we

21

spend our whole life trying to find out what the call on our life is.When somebody finds it, whether you are called to be spiritual, oryou are called to be artist or you are called to be a lawyer, somepeople do not find themselves until they are really on in years, andwhen they really find what they are called to be, or when they reallyfind out who they really are, and this is my experience, they just takeoff. It took me a long time to find out who I was, but when I found myplace, nothing could have kept me from it and I am still chasing afterit, that is how I got to be where I am. I never wanted to be a teacher,I just wanted God, I want the truth, I want the truth, I love truth.

You have to find out who you are, and we come into thisworld rooted in particular place which rooting limits us, but Christbreaks all the limits, all the limits are broken through in Christ. Thiswhole concept of Kabbalistic reincarnation, it just does not work inthis incarnation, it does not work, I am sorry not in this incarnation,it does not work in this level of the third stage of the fall. Apparentlyit worked in the second stage of the fall, on the other side of the floodwhen man was still in an etheric body, you are able to ascend fromlevel to level, and I do not know whether, I do not know what you hadto do to ascend from level to level, because the Kabbalistic teaching,the way you ascend is by keeping the Mitzvot, and I do not believethere were any Mitzvot on the other side of the flood, because the lawwas not given until the Hebrew children came out of Mount Sinai. There had to be some mechanism on the other side of the flood thatmade it possible for the beings over there to ascend, and theKabbalists that have this revelation, they have a revelation of a truththat is applicable to another time, and it is also applicable today inChrist Jesus, but it is not applicable somehow, you know, I believethey did the same thing that is happening in the church today, thechurch, the people that are teaching in the church today, they cannotcomprehend how we are going to overcome death.

They do not have the teaching, they do not have the under-standing, so they make up the rapture, well that makes sense, you aregoing to be raptured or you are going to get it after you die, theycannot comprehend how we are going to ascend out of our presentfallen condition, so they say, Well you are going to get it after youdie. I think something similar happened with the Kabbalists, they got

22

this revelation of the way things were, actually the way things are, butthey got a true revelation of this whole concept of spiritual ascension,but they did not get a true understanding of how we ascend. Theycould not figure out how to do it, so there mind made up this conceptof keeping the Mitzvot and that is how you ascend, but none of themare doing it.

I would venture to say to you that every Kabbalist today thathas a great spiritual mind was born into this world rooted in a placewhich would give them this great spiritual mind. Does anybody notunderstand what I am talking about? Remember the Hebrews werelifted up to a very high spiritual place in Mount Sinai, and the Hebrewchildren manifested this greatness of mind for a couple of thousandyears, and even though there has not been a prophet in Israel fortwenty four hundred years at this time, there is still Hebrew children,there are still Jewish people that have very powerful minds thatunderstand levels of Kabbalah that I am probably not even capable ofat this time, but I am capable of it potentially in Jesus Christ, but Iwas not born into the root level where I would be a great Kabbalist. Everything I have, I have in Christ.

I am climbing, I am climbing up that ladder, and I am catchingup, but I do not believe that you see that happening in Israel, that youdo not see Jewish people being born into this world rooted in thelower planes that are climbing up to where the great Kabbalists are,I do not believe you see it happening, and I believe each year, and thisis a big problem in Jewry today, that many Jews are falling away, theyare falling away from their Judaism, they are becoming secularized orthey are becoming Christians in the false doctrine of Christianity. Ido not see as a nation the people of Israel climbing upwards where ineach generation there are more and more great Kabbalists, I do not seethat happening. On the contrary, it is the exact opposite. The greatKabbalists that we have today, they are like the remnants that stillexists from the glory that was poured out upon the Hebrew childrenin Mount Sinai. The nation as a whole are descending, the nation asa whole is descending. Praise the Lord, but of course they will begrafted back into their own tree when they recognize Jesus Christ asMessiah, which will only happen as a result of a supernatural miracle,as we all understand. Nobody with the kind of spiritual understanding

23

that the Kabbalists have are about to embrace the false doctrine in thechurch today, they are just not going to do it. We expect an outpour-ing, a miracle working outpouring from the sons of God to the Jewishpeople today, and I mean the Jewish people that know the word.

I do not know how it is going to come partially through thethought forms that are being preached, through the thought forms arebeing formed as Christ centered Kabbalah is being preached and atsome point, a barrier will be broken and we will have Kabbalistslistening to what we say. Right now nobody even wants to listen towhat we say, they are afraid of getting an unclean spirit, they cannotbelieve that it could possibly be God, and they will not even listen, soit has to be a supernatural move of the Lord Jesus Christ. Are thereany questions on drawing #4?

I would like to go on, I am back in our notes now, I am onpage three of section two of chapter one, In other words, though aperson begins life with a Nefesh, it too, that Nefesh also has higherlevels that must be attained through spiritual growth and rectification.Now if I did not make it clear, the higher levels of soul have to beadded to you. I did not mean to give you the intention that all theselevels of soul exists within us, and we have to climb up them. If Igave you that impression that is not correct. Each higher level of soulhas to be added to us, it has to be added to us.

Now, this is like a contradiction here because you know thereis a working towards the higher level of soul, there is some truth insaying we have to merit it, this whole, I have given you this principle,I have expounded on this principle before. I believe that there isnothing that any Jew or anyone else can do today to acquire higherlevels of soul outside of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our potential toattain higher levels of soul. When you receive the seed of Christ, ifyou are willing to make the effort, you have the potential to havethese higher levels of soul added to you, but you do have to meritthem, you have to merit them through hard work and prayer. If youcannot understand any of this deep teaching, if you continue to pressinto the kingdom, you will, and I will give you, put my testimonyagain on this tape, as the Lord directed me to Tree Of Life which wasliterally mind breaking for me, so hard I really could not, could barelyunderstand it. One day as I was just pressing in, something, I saw

24

something through the corner of my eye and it came at me veryquickly and entered into me, it really alarmed me and knew it was toolate, it was inside of me, and I just sat there and I prayed, I said, Lordif that was not you have mercy on me cause something spiritual justgot inside of me, and did not understand what it was until I came tothis level of teaching in Kabbalah. This is all documented that thesoul, according to Kabbalah, the rectified soul of some righteousperson will come and dwell with you to help you in your ascension,and the truth is that immediately after I had that experience, theunderstanding of the Tree of Life which was painfully difficult forme, my mind use to hurt me, my head use to hurt me, my understand-ing completely opened up. Now if that happened to me, that meansthat could happen to you, and I merited that, that righteous soul andI asked the Lord for more understanding as to who or what it wasbecause I thought that I had the seed of Christ, so once I had the seedof Christ, what righteous soul is it that came to dwell with me? Ireally do not understand at this time. I merited that because of myefforts, because I would not give up, once I got a hold of thatunderstanding that I did not have a choice and that the Lord haddirected me to this course of study, I submitted myself to that bookand to those works as painful as it was, I submitted myself, and I gota reward, and it was a reward for effort, it was not a free gift.

The free gift was my potential to receive the reward that Iworked for, does anybody not understand that? I hope I get somemore righteous souls coming to dwell with me, I do not know how itworks, I know ever since that righteous soul entered into me, I havebeen able to learn Kabbalah, but I am not happy with the speed withwhich I am learning. Now maybe that is being foolish or prideful, letthe Lord be my judge, no one that studies under me should be myjudge. I am telling you I am not happy with the speed with which Iam learning when I hear that Chayyim Vital learned the whole systemin eighteen months. Let the Lord be my judge and let him give memore help or not give me more help, you know, I am not happy, I amnot satisfied, I am happy of what I am learning, but I am not satisfiedwith how long it is taking me to learn it.

Ever since that Tzadik entered into me, I have been learningeasily, you know, I just have to put in a minimum of effort. My

25

normal study effort and I understand, you know, so there was a radicalchange in my life after that experience. Praise the Lord, so we arereading here, in other words although the person begins life with aNefesh, it too has higher levels that must be attained through spiritualgrowth, you attain to the higher levels through spiritual growth andrectification. Well the rectification means the doing of the Mitzvotand the studying of the Torah. How do we acquire spiritual growth?We have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and we study to showourselves approved and we are willing to look upon our sin nature,and to reject it. If you are having trouble dealing with the sins that areexposed in you, your condition is that you love yourself to the pointthat you will not separate from yourself, and this probably arises outof a lack of understanding that this sin nature is not anything youshould want to keep, and that rises out of the lack of understandingthat today you are Christ. If you really believe that Christ is graftedto you and that you are Christ, you would turn against this other sideof you. Maybe you need to pray to the Lord to ask him to help youto understand who you really are, because you must betray your oldnature, you must betray the husband of your old nature which isLeviathan, as long as you are defending Leviathan within yourself,you cannot be married to Jesus Christ, or at the very least, you are anadulteress.

If you are having a problem believing the sins that arerevealed in you, what I recommend you do, is ask the Lord why youwill not divorce your first husband. I do not know there has to besome kind of a bondage in your life, there has to be a key to get youfree, ask him why you love your first husband Leviathan so much thatyou will cleave to Leviathan rather than the truth, and Jesus is theSpirit of truth. Ask him, he will help you, he wants you to overcome. Then after you, well let me read this sentence again, When all thelevels of Nefesh are rectified and that, you know when I first read it,it sounds like such an easy thing until I look at my own experienceand see that I am struggling for years you know, to get from theNefesh of Nefesh to the Ruach of Nefesh, when all the levels ofNefesh are rectified, then a person is ready to ascend to a higherspiritual level that of the level of Ruach. Of course, we are talkingabout Ruach of the world of Asiyah. He then repeats the process of

26

growth on this higher spiritual plane from the level of Ruach, that ishe must first master the Nefesh of his Nefesh, then the Ruach of hisNefesh, then the Neshamah of his Nefesh, and so on.

Once he has acquired the Yechida of his Nefesh, then theentire level of Nefesh is said to be his, and he is ready to work onacquiring the levels of Ruach. Does everybody understand thisprinciple? Anybody have a question or comment on this principle? Now I want to encourage you and tell you that this is all changed inChrist Jesus. Jesus said we are with him in heavenly places. When themind of Christ is grafted to us or to you, that, we have an aspect ofour self that in Atzilut. We have jumped to Atzilut, but this is theproblem, this is very important that you understand this problem, inChrist we are sitting in heavenly places that is Atzilut, but ourpersonality is down here. You cannot remain in Atzilut unless yourpersonality comes up, and Jesus is literally dragging us up by the hairsof our head.

According to the teaching of the Gate of Reincarnations, youstart at the bottom and you work your way up, that was not myexperience. I was in very bad shape when the Lord grabbed a hold ofme and what he grabbed was my spirit, and after he grabbed my spirithe grabbed my mind, and he, I mean I am with the Lord twenty fiveyears, and the things that he has dealt with me on in the last few yearsare things that most people deal with when they first come to theLord, but I was so close to death, he grabbed me by my spirit and mymind first. Jesus is pulling us up from the top, according toKabbalistic reincarnation, you ascend from the bottom up, you got upeach step of the ladder, but not so with Jesus. What you need tounderstand is that he is latching on to your spirit and he is giving youthe mind of Christ like to magnets, they are sticking to you, and he ispulling you up. If your personality does not come and line up withwhat Jesus has given you, you will not be able to hold on to what hehas given you.

He has given you the Holy Spirit and if you are listening tothese messages, you must have the mind of Christ, that is all he isgoing to do for you as so far as giving you something, you need tounderstand that your personality must catch up to the mind that he hasgiven you, you need to understand that you have received a great

27

mind and a great spirit, that you did not deserve. You did not meritit. He gave it to you because he wants to see you restored to life, andnow your part is to work your program so that your personality, sothat your animal personality rises up to where your mind is. Youcannot stay divided like this, you cannot stay divided like this, youwill lose what you have. You cannot stay faithful to a reprobate mind,you cannot stay faithful to ungodly opinions and emotions, becausethe whole time that you do this, there is a tug of war going on, yourmind of Christ is up here and your ungodly thoughts and emotions aredown here, and they are pulling at one another, and I have been tellingyou for years brethren, this world is under the dominion of Satan, theprince of the power of the air, and the only way you are going to getout of here is to reject her and her principles which is Leviathan andCain. If you do not reject them, if you cleave unto the principles ofthis world, Christ will not be able to pull you to safety. You mustagree with him or that tug of war is going to, the tie is going to breakand you are going to go plummeting down and that has alreadyhappened to someone in this ministry, I will not put her name on thetape, that is what happened to her. She would not let go of the desiresand things of this world, and she broke that line that connected toChrist broke and she fell all the way down and she is still in a lot oftrouble. I do not know how to make it any plainer, or clearer to you,you must divorce your husband, you must, you must or you areplaying with fire, you are in danger. You must give up the thoughtsof Leviathan in your mind.

Please do not anybody think I want you to divorce yournatural husband, please do not anybody hearing this tape think that,Paul said in the book of Romans you must divorce your husband andlook to Jesus Christ as your spiritual husband. You can only be inadultery for so long, and you will revert, if you do not take the victoryand translate into your new husband which requires you to reject yourold husband, if you do not take the victory, all of you, your mind andyour spirit and your personality, everything will go plummeting backdown and you will belong wholly to Leviathan again. Praise the Lord.

Did I read this, yeah I read this, he must first master theNefesh of his Nefesh. We have finished section two of chapter one,let me give you this first paragraph, oh it is 3:15 already, let me just

28

read the first paragraph of section three, we will pick this up afterdinner tonight. This is chapter one, section three, and this section hasa name, it is called the path of rectification. Please remember thatrectification is talking about what we would say in the church is thejustification of the soul or the making of that aspect of the soulrighteous. Rectification means the correction of the soul untorighteousness. Section three is talking about the pathway, what youhave to do to restore the right standing of your soul. Reading now,even though as is known, there are people whose Nefesh is fromMalkhut of Asiyah, now remember Malkhut is Nefesh there, they areinterchangeable, there are people whose Nefesh is from Malkhut ofAsiyah and others who are from Yesod of Asiyah. That is justanother way of me saying, some people are born rooted in the Nefeshand some people are born rooted in the Ruach.

Chayyim Vital, he just changed his terminology from Nefeshto Malkhut, they are interchangeable, remember rather than saying theNefesh of the Nefesh, he is saying the Malkhut is from the Nefesh toavoid confusion. There are people whose Nefesh is from Malkhut ofAsiyah, and others who are from Yesod of Asiyah, and some peopleare born spiritual and some are born less spiritual or not spiritual atall. Still every person must rectify the entire spectrum of Asiyah, onlythen can a person receive his Ruach from Yetzirah, since Yetzirah isgreater than all of Asiyah. Well let us take that a little piece at a time.What he is saying is, before you, what he is saying is if you are bornrooted in the Nefesh of the Nefesh of Asiyah, the whole, let me makethis clear, this concept of being born rooted in a particular place, thereason you are born rooted in a particular place is because that aspectof your soul has sinned and needs to be rectified.

If you are born into this world and your spiritual root is in theNefesh of the Nefesh, that means that in some past life your Nefeshsinned and so it has come back into this world, the Nefesh of theNefesh has come back into this world so that you can rectify it, youcan restore it to right standing with God, that is what it means to berooted in a particular place.

It means that the aspect of soul that is incarnating has beenblemished and it is come into this world to correct that sin. Doesanybody have a question or not understand what I just said, do you

29

understand what I just said? What he is saying now is if you find outthat your soul is rooted in the Nefesh of the Nefesh, do not just thinkwell I have rectified the Nefesh of the Nefesh and now I can go righton to the Ruach of Asiyah because do not think that while, well Icame into this world to purify my Nefesh and my Ruach of the Nefeshmust be all right and my Chayyah of the Nefesh must be all right, soI could jump right from here from the Nefesh of the Nefesh and startworking on the Ruach of the Nefesh, he says do not think that. Hesays you have to rectify or you have to work on every aspect of theNefesh. Now according to the Gate of Reincarnations which is IsaacLuria's teaching, it is possible for you in past incarnations to haveperfected the Ruach of the Nefesh and the Chayyah of the Nefesh, andNeshama of the Nefesh and the Chayyah of the Nefesh, and then evenafter you got that high if you sinned in your Nefesh in this incarnationyou are down here in your Nefesh because you sinned in your Nefesh,but still your Ruach and your Neshamah are righteous.

Do you need me to say that again? Yeah, let me say it again,it is possible that in past lives your Ruach and your Neshamah andyour Nefesh were all made righteous and all rectified in past incarna-tions, but you sinned in your Nefesh, so your Nefesh had to comeback, but your Ruach and your Neshamah were still righteous, youjust messed up in your Nefesh. It is possible, the fact that your soulroot is in your Nefesh, do not assume that your Ruach and yourNeshamah are not rectified, that is what he is saying, can youunderstand that? Can you understand that? In that case, do notassume that if you are rooted in your Nefesh when you straighten outwhen you rectify your Nefesh, do not say, Well in a past incarnationmy Ruach was cleansed, and my Neshamah was cleansed, and myChayyah and my Yechida were cleansed, so I just had to fix up myNefesh which I just did, so now I am going to jump right over to startworking on the Nefesh of the Ruach. He says that does not work.Once you incarnate in this world in the Nefesh of the Nefesh, youhave to go through all levels of the Nefesh before you could start onthe Ruach.

Now I do not have any examples for you right now as to whatkind of correction comes from each level of soul, I asked the Lord forthat, because this is a very abstract teaching, and I would like to be

30

able to tell you, well a blemish in the Nefesh of the Nefesh, I wouldthink would most likely be a sexual blemish, what does that mean?You fornicated or you committed adultery or something like that, anda blemish in the spiritual personality, well, that would be that youfollowed after a spirit that was not God, maybe you were intoastrology or some kind of witchcraft, and then what would a blemishor a sin be in the Neshamah in the level of mind, you went after falsedoctrine. The level of Chayyah, that is a high spiritual level ofconsciousness including political conscience, well maybe you pursueda wrong political doctrine in a past life, that would, and up here in theYechida, I am not really sure. Well the Yechida means oneness, wellmaybe you were one with the wrong spirit.

Do you know that there are people in this world that have aoneness with a spirit that is not God, they never marry, they are highlyspiritual people, and they practice all kinds of pagan arts. That wouldbe an example of a blemish in a previous life that you are comingback to correct. Let me say this one more time. If by some chanceyou happen to have a knowledge that the Ruach of the Nefesh and theNeshamah and the Chayyah, and the Yechida of your Nefesh are allpurified, they are all rectified, they are all, all right, you just had tocome back with your Nefesh of your Nefesh because of sexual sin, donot think that you have no work in the areas of Nefesh, Neshamah,Chayyah, and Yechida, you still have to go through all of theprocedures. Let us follow what we just laid out. You came back andyou straightened out this problem of sexual sin, you are no longer afornicator in this life, or you are no longer an adulterer, or if you wereof pornography in this life, you still have to experience, you still haveto go, I am sorry, I am stumbling here, you still have to have experi-ences with a spiritual personality and follow Jesus, even though youdid that in the past life, you have to do it again...(End of Tape one)

31

Tape 2

You have to work on your whole Nefesh, and the sign thatthese other aspects of your Nefesh really were rectified in previouslives would be that you would go through these trials very quickly,like take me for example, from the first day I came into the church, Iwas able to discern false doctrine, from the first day, it is so strong inme, this ability to recognize false doctrine is so strong in me that Ihave no explanation for it other than what I am telling you here. Ihave seen Christian after Christian after Christian fall prey to falsedoctrine, and with me, it is almost instantaneous, I just know that it iswrong, I see it instantly, and that is why the major part of my ministryis exposing error in a Godly manner so that people can receive it. I donot seek to cast people down, I want them to know the truth so thatthey could choose the right way, and that is a large part of myministry, a very powerful part of my ministry. How did I get like this?This is the only explanation that I could think of, and that is inprevious life I had rectified the Neshamah at of the Nefesh, I do noteven understand you know what the Ruach of the Neshamah wouldbe like, I do not even have an understanding of it, unless it is higherlevels of the same. If the Nefesh of the Neshamah is the mind ofChrist, that means you can understand, you can locate and identifydoctrinal truth on a particular level, and then the Ruach of theNeshamah, you ought to be able to identify true doctrine andseparated from false doctrine on a higher level. If that is the case, thenthis ability that I have to identify not only identify false doctrine, butto explain it so that people could see it for what it is, I must, my soulon this level must come from a very high place. Maybe, well thismust be a part of what I have in Christ, I do not know that I was bornwith this, I know that I was born with a very logical mind.

Does anybody not understand what I am talking about? Thisis much more complicated then last week, but I think it is veryinteresting if you can grab hold of it. The one paragraph that I readto you is more involved than I thought that it was. Let me take anotherlook at it. Even though as is known there are some people whoseNefesh is from Malkhut of Asiyah, and others who are from Yesod of

32

Asiyah, still every person must rectify the entire spectrum of Asiyah.That means all twenty five, all twenty five elements of Asiyah. Onlythen can a person receive his Ruach from the next world, which isYetzirah, because the world of Yetzirah is greater than the wholeworld of Asiyah. We have to go through twenty five elements andrectify them according to Kabbalistic reincarnation. According toChrist centered reincarnation, we are granted this grace of beingtacked up in to Atzilut, but if we do not bring our personality, if wedo not bring our Nefesh up to Atzilut, the...word incomprehensible,of Kabbalah, the klipot, or the evil that is down in this world will dragus back down here. We have received a "leg up" from the Lord JesusChrist. Praise the Lord any questions or comments before we breakfrom dinner? Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord we are back from dinner, we are working onGate of Reincarnations chapter one, section three, called the Path ofRectification, and we commented on the first paragraph before wewent out to dinner. I am reading from the second paragraph now. Notall souls are rooted in the same level, however in spite of the level ofthe root of one's soul, a person is still responsible to rectify all stratawithin the level of world that to which he is attached. I guess thatEnglish is not too good. Well we talked about this earlier, we allunderstand what it means that your soul is rooted, that when youincarnate, your soul comes out of a particular level and you are rootedin the level, and I explained to you that if you are rooted in the Nefeshof the Nefesh or if you are rooted in the Neshamah of the Nefesh, youhave to rectify that whole Nefesh. In other words, I did not put it toyou this way earlier, let us say your soul is rooted in the Neshamah ofthe Nefesh, you have to rectify all of the levels of soul above you, andthe levels of soul beneath you. Exactly what that means for us, Icannot tell you, for the Kabbalist, what it means is that you have to docertain Mitzvot, it is all spelled out, you have to do certain Mitzvotand study the Torah, and they believe that you rectify your soul,except that I have a problem, it is working because I do not see anawful lot of Jews that I know about unless it is something I do notknow about who are going on, and ascending into immortalitybecause it cannot be done without Jesus Christ.

Now remember, we are dealing with a teaching here that has

33

a different philosophy than Christ centered Kabbalah, and thisphilosophy is that you can be saved or rectified or made righteousthrough works, now we do not believe that. We believe that you canonly be made righteous by being grafted into the tree of life which isthe glorified Jesus Christ today. You are going to hear me readingsome things that do not really apply to us. I think we are going to gothrough this chapter pretty quickly because I do not know how toapply it to us and it probably does not apply to us at all. Doesanybody not understand what I just said? When the teaching talksabout rectifying your soul, I do not really know what you have to do.In Christ Jesus I know that it is very simple in Christ Jesus, you just,you have to judge your sin nature, now please recognize that as far asI understand the Kabbalist does not recognize the need to judge theirsin nature, it is very clear from these teachings that they believe youcan be, your soul can be rectified by actions, by things that you do. This is the message that so many human beings, Christians and Jewsand otherwise believe, I speak to so many people, Catholics andPentecostals and Methodists, people from all forms of Christianityand Jews, telling me I am a good person, I do good works and I amgood to people and therefore I am all right.

They are basing their righteousness on behavior. Nowbehavior is important, you should be doing good things, you shouldnot have license to do evil, but you could keep every law of behavior,and you still will not descend out of hell and death because hell anddeath is in your mind. Hell and death is in your heart, hell and deathis Satan and Leviathan, the mortal foundation of fallen humanity. How can you ascend out of what you are? In order to ascend you mustascend into something else, there is no good thing in man. Accordingto the mind of mortal man we have good versus evil and some peopleare good as compared to serial killers and people who do evil, but thegoodness of fallen man is still in hell. To ascend above the pains ofhell, you, even the good people die, good by the criteria of this world,good people die, good people get sick, good people experiencetragedy, good people experience poverty, death, sickness, the loss ofchildren. What does that mean? It means that your goodness has nopower.

Your goodness has no power to keep you alive, to protect your

34

children, or to save you or your family from sickness and death, so itis a corruptible goodness, it is a mortal goodness. If you just stop tothink, you do not really need any more proof than that. The bestperson in the world will still die and will still experience somemeasure of tragedy in his family or some member of his family ormembers of his family will experience tragedy. Therefore we mustescape to another world, because this whole world is corrupt, thisworld is broken down into different levels and some levels are moreevil than other levels, but the very best level of this world that we arein, which is the Nefesh of the Nefesh, still has tragedy and death. You cannot escape from yourself, we must depart from our self andenter into another world and become a new creature in order to escapefrom tragedy and death.

This is the foundational error of the reincarnation of theKabbalist, the reincarnation of the Hindu, the reincarnation of theBuddhist. This is the error of their doctrine, you cannot escape fromyourself. I do not know how far the Kabbalistic reincarnation goesbecause I have not read anything about it except what we are studyingnow but I know Hinduism teaches that you come out of the body, andhas all kinds of information about reincarnation and ascension, out ofthe physical body. When you ascend, and I believe it is true, that youcan ascend out of the physical body in non-Christian reincarnation,but you are still in hell. Now I do not know what your experience islike, I honestly do not know, but I do know this, that anything andeverything or any and every element or possibility of reincarnationthat is offered to us as so long as we are in this world is still hell.

I admit that there are some places and some states of beingthat are less hell than others, obviously so, we sit here tonight in abeautiful well lit room, it is freezing out there, we are warm, we justate, we are filled with food, you know, this is not, we are not in hellin these elements of our life. There are people that live on the streets,people dying on the streets, people starving to death, they are in a realhell, a level of hell much more than the level that we are in. The very,very best that this world can offer is still hell. Therefore, we mustemigrate, we must migrate to another world which is called heaven.Heaven is another world, and it is the world that is beyond the Nefeshof the Nefesh. The world to come is Binah, and Binah is associated

35

with the, you got me here I have to figure it out, Binah, well let ussee, the Keter is associated with Atzilut and the Chokhmah isassociated with Beriah, well, Binah is associated with the world ofBeriah, so we have to ascend even beyond the Ruach, the world afterthe Neshamah which is where we are now, I am sorry the world afterthe Nefesh which is where we are now is the Ruach, and then we haveto ascend into the next world after that which is Beriah.

I guess I did not say that clearly, let me say that again. Rightnow we are in Asiyah, we have to ascend into Yetzirah which is theworld of the Ruach, and then we have to ascend into the next worldwhich is Beriah, that is the world to come, and in each of Asiyah, wehave twenty five levels in each world to get through. In Christ Jesus,there is an aspect of our self that is planted all the way up in Atzilut.He is our anchor, he is anchored in Atzilut and he has let down thislifeline to us down here in the Nefesh of the Nefesh, and we have toclimb the mountain. In Christ Jesus it is possible, apart from ChristJesus it is not possible, because no matter where you ascend to, youare still in hell, does anybody not understand what I just said? It is adeception, it is a deception to think that spiritual ascension apart fromChrist will deliver us from hellish conditions. Praise the Lord.

Moving on, not all souls are rooted in the same level, howeverin spite of the level of the root of one's soul, a person is responsibleto rectify all strata, that means all levels, within the level of world thathe or to which he is attached. This includes those levels within thesame world, but below his root as well as those above it. No individ-ual can begin to rectify the next level of soul applicable to the nextworld until he has rectified all the lower levels of the world in whichhe is rooted. Thus he can initiate work on Ruach form Yetzirah onlyafter his Nefesh from Asiyah is completely rectified. Now, bear inmind that what is being spoken about in this document is doingcertain Mitzvot, there is a list of certain things you must do to rectifyyour soul, and that as far as I know does not apply to us. I know thatmy whole, I talk about myself a lot because I am the example, a lot ofwhat I know, I know from the experiences that the Lord Jesus hasgiven me. A lot of what I recognize in Kabbalah comes not only fromthe doctrine of Christ, but from my own experiences in Christ Jesus,and I know that from the day the Lord received me, my life has been

36

one long effort to change to a better way, to ascend, to improvemyself, to recognize the source and the root of my own problems andto overcome them. This has been going on for twenty five years.

I have to the best of my knowledge, I have not performed anyMitzvot, I have not performed any ritualistic prayers, what I havedone is put myself before the Lord, an open book, willing to seeanything that he would show me, willing to ask him to crush me, andto do anything that needs to be done so that I should be blamelessbecause I do not want to be hurting anybody, I want to be a force forgood in the world, and that is my heart's desire. For twenty five yearsI have been in this program, I have changed, I have changed a lot, butI am still mortal and I still have a fallen soul, and if I would stop tothink about it, it could be discouraging, but I do not think about it,because they get better, and I have become a force for good in theworld, and I will just get as far as I could get. I have a hope that I willascend into immortality before my body gives out.

I told you all off of the tape earlier, the Lord revealed to meyesterday that this is what Paul was talking about when he talkedabout the race, when he said that you have to finish the race, you arerunning a race, the race that we are running is against death. Becauseeven though I believe that reincarnation of our immortal soul is areality, this personality that I am will die and never rise again. Thereis a seed inside of me, when you die there is a tenth of you thatsurvives, a tenth of us, that is the worm that dieth not that Jesusspeaks about, that reincarnates indefinitely until it is deliveredthrough union with Jesus Christ. I, Pastor Vitale, when I die, I willnever rise again, my source will rise again. Therefore, I have a race,if I want to survive, Pastor Vitale who I believe myself, who I knowmyself to be in this lifetime, if I want to enter into immortality, I haveto obtain to a certain level in Christ Jesus, I attained by the power ofChrist Jesus, I have to do it before death takes me, because I amracing against death.

Now I believe that I have the opportunity to attain, I believethat we are in the correct season, that it is the season for somebody forthe first person to stand up and there will be many after that, and thatwhen that one person stands up, when that first person stands up, thedoor to immortality will be open and it will be easier for everyone

37

coming thereafter. Jesus was the first one to enter into immortality,well that is not exactly accurate, Jesus was the first fallen man to enterinto immortality, Enoch did not have a human body, and Elijah wasnot born of a woman, in any event, I might not have these detailsright, there is a lot that I do not know, but Jesus Christ of Nazarethwas the first one who entered into immortality and the poured out ofhis spirit upon all flesh giving all of humanity an opportunity tofollow in his path.

There, I do believe that some of the Hebrew prophets enteredin to immortality, but they did not ascend to a form whereby theycould help others do the same. I am getting ahead of myself, as weget ahead in these messages, you will see that the Gate of Reincarna-tions teaches that these righteous souls which would be the prophetsthat get into immortality, they will come and dwell with people for aseason to help them with their walk. These are called tzadik,righteous souls will come and dwell with you and give you a leg up,they stay with you for a season and then they leave. They leave you,you are left right back in hell again, you are right back where youstarted from. You may be more spiritual, but you still do not have anyaccess to the kingdom of God which is the world to come unless youare joined to Jesus Christ.

What Jesus did that these other righteous souls have not done,is that Jesus is now in a spiritual form whereby he comes to dwellwith people to help them, and he literally weaves himself togetherwith that person and never leaves them, and never forsakes them, andtherefore in his righteousness raises that other person up. Did I makethat clear? Did I make that clear? According to reincarnation, thereare righteous souls that will come and help anybody who is trying toimprove himself, they stay for a season, they become your under-standing, they guide you in the right directions, and then they leaveyou, and then you are on your own again, but Jesus never leaves you,he weaves himself together with you and gives you the opportunity toenter in on the basis of his righteousness. Now no other Biblecharacter that I know of has ascended to that height, and the title ofJesus Christ of Nazareth is Savior of the world, he is the onlyascended soul that is in a form that can weave together with theindividual. The gate of reincarnations will tell you that the reason the

38

soul, the righteous soul that comes to stay with you, stays for a seasonand leaves, is because that righteous soul does not want to be taintedby the sin of the fallen person. Our sin cannot corrupt the glorifiedJesus Christ.

This is the miracle of Jesus Christ. He not only comes to livewith us, he joins himself to us, which the other righteous souls do not,they do not join themselves to us in that weaving together configura-tion. Jesus weaves together with us and he is not corrupted by our sin,but on the contrary imparts righteousness to our unrighteousness. Thatis the miracle of Jesus Christ. I do not even know how I got on that,what was my point here? I was telling you that, I forgot my wholepoint, but so I am looking at section two now, and it is talking aboutwhat you have to do to merit ascension I guess, I am sorry that Iforgot what I was talking about, but that was interesting what I toldyou anyway. Let us go on. We have to, oh I know what I was tellingyou, I was telling you that I do not know how this concept ofrectifying the whole Nefesh of the Nefesh, I do not know what thatmeans to you, because we do not do the Mitzvot, we do not say theseritualistic prayers, I was just telling you about my own experience,that from the day Jesus laid hold of me, I have been on a selfimprovement program that involves looking at all my flaws and myweaknesses and every thing that I do wrong, things that I say wrong,things that I think wrong, things that I feel wrong, every aspect ofevery relationship, if there is the slightest bit of conflict with anybody,I want to know what my part was in that conflict that does not glorifyGod.

This has been going on for twenty five years, so I am going toguess that this must be the spiritualization of the Mitzvot. BecauseJesus Christ is woven together with my soul, I can go all the way upand ascend out of this world, because Jesus Christ is rooted in Atzilut.He is my anchor, he is anchored in Atzilut and the part of him that iswoven together with me is the rope and I have to climb the mountain. It is the glorified Jesus Christ that is rooted in Atzilut and his son orhis seed Christ Jesus is in me, rooted to me and woven together withme. Jesus Christ glorified is at one end of the rope and Christ Jesushis son is at the other end of the rope. One end of the rope is downhere in hell and the other end of the rope is in Atzilut, the world

39

which is even higher than the world to come. Atzilut is actually anaspect of Adam Kadmon, the creator. This is the spiritualization ofthe Mitzvot, unless there is another aspect to this teaching that is notin print that Kabbalists would tell you or teach you, unless that is trueand I do not know about it, I have to go by what I see here.

We are being told that we can be perfected by saying theseprayers, and does not work, you cannot be perfected by prayers. Iknew after twenty five years with God, you can pray your head off, ifyou do not get up and do it, well let me say it this way, there is noanswer to your prayer other than you get up and do it. You pray andyou get the strength to do it. You have a problem, you pray about thatproblem, the Lord will give you the strength to do what you need todo to overcome that problem. This may be work out your ownsalvation, you were asking me that question off of the tape, I wouldsay that is what is work out your own salvation means, you must workit out, but you cannot work it out if you do not have the power ofChrist Jesus attached to you. It is a cleansing, this rectification, thereality of the rectification is a cleansing from the deepest level of yoursoul, from the unconscious part of your mind, all the way out to theconscious part of your mind, and this you know I am inclined to saythat the Kabbalists really do believe you can perfect your soul throughworks because Jesus said to them, you make the surface of the cupand platter clean, but inside you are dead men's bones. I believe theLord just spoke to us, there is no hidden side to this message, theKabbalists believe that you can purify yourself with verbal prayers,with religious works.

When Jesus came to Pharisees, he said to them, you have gotit all wrong, Jesus did not come with the next revelation, he camewith a correction, he said to them, you have got it all wrong, you thinkyou can purify yourself with these ritualistic works, but all you aredoing is washing the surface of the platter. You have got to look at thedepth of your heart and your mind, and once again we are told thateven Moses was afraid to look. The Lord is helping me to preach thismessage, let me just repeat what just came forth by revelation, thespiritualization of the Mitzvot, now remember the Kabbalists believethat you are rectified or that you are made righteous by doing theseritualistic prayers called the Mitzvot and good works which are called

40

the Mitzvot, the spiritualization of the Mitzvot is personal improve-ment from the depths of the unconscious part of mind all the way outto the conscious part of your mind. Purification of motive, thespiritualization of the Mitzvot is purification of motive and you willnever purify your motives, if you will not look at your motives, andyou will never look at your motives unless you are willing to give upyour pride.

Praise the Lord. Does everybody understand that we got that,the spiritualization of the Mitzvot is the inspection and interjection ofyour own motives, facing them, and purifying your motives, praisethe Lord, thank you Jesus. Again, once again, specifically what itmeans that you have to rectify the whole Nefesh of the Nefesh, unlessthis comes out by revelation, I do not know what to tell you, theKabbalists would say, if you want to rectify the Neshamah of yourNefesh, you say this prayer and you say that prayer, and you say thatprayer, and you are rectified. Unless this comes out now by revela-tion, I do not know exactly what you have to do to rectify yourNeshamah of your Nefesh. It is not even really clear to me how topinpoint exactly where you are.

We will just keep on going, it is just a general overhaul, ageneral exposure of motives confession of the sin of the motives, anda change, a rejection of the wicked motives, and a migration into therighteous motives of Jesus Christ. There may never be any delinea-tion, the Lord may never tell us, well when you reach this level ofpurifying your motives, you have reached the Neshamah of theNefesh, the Lord may never tell us that, because as far as I amconcerned, I do not need those little details, you know, I think at somepoint, I would like to have a general idea of where I am just so that Icould know, but the Lord may not even tell us that. I know that I havemade incredible progress in twenty five years, that I am a whole newperson, you know, and I know that I get better everyday, that I getstronger every day and I overcome everyday, maybe that is all I haveto know, you know.

I guess if the Lord wants to tell me more, he will tell me more,we should be focusing on our own program and not worrying aboutthese little details that really are just to desire a knowledge of them isa spirit of pride, and I confess that, you know, so I just put the whole

41

thing in the hands of the Lord. As long as you could see that you aremaking progress, you should be content with that and I should becontent with that. Once you rectify the whole Nefesh of the Nefesh,then you could go on to start dealing with the Ruach of the Nefesh.Now, I could see that, I could see the Nefesh as being, the wholeNefesh of the Nefesh as being your whole carnal life, you have torectify your whole carnal life. I do not know how to break down eachelement although I did it earlier on the tape. When you get to theRuach, you are dealing with your spiritual life, you are dealing withfive levels of your spiritual life, then when you get to the Neshamah,you are dealing with five levels of your mental life, becauseNeshamah is the mind of God, and I do not really know how to breakdown those levels. Personally when I look at my own experience, Iam inclined to believe that I am improving on all of these levels at thesame time.

That is my opinion, now this is not my opinion, this is myobservation when I look at myself, that the Lord is working with mein all five areas of Asiyah at the same time, I know that my Nefesh isnot completely rectified, I just have to much trouble with my weight,and too much trouble with disciplining myself to do exercises, I justhave too much trouble to say that my Nefesh is completely rectified,yet I am a highly spiritual person, I am a highly spiritual person inGod. I have a lot of spiritual knowledge, a lot of spiritual experiences. There has to some activity in the Ruach of Asiyah for me, as far as theNeshamah goes, I may be the highest intellect in the church at thistime, it will not always be that way, I do not know anyone else in thechurch that teaches on the level that I teach.

How could I be this high in my Neshamah, when I am havinga problem disciplining myself to walk on the treadmill? The answerhas to be that the Lord is improving me on all five levels at once. Heis working with me on all five levels. I would say, my opinion at thispoint is, that this is another benefit of being dragged up by the LordJesus Christ, he is above us, the whole principle of Isaac Luria, he issaying that it is not that he will not give you permission to go over tothe Ruach until you completely rectify your Nefesh, it is not aquestion of permission, it is that you do not have the power to getover to start working on your Ruach, until you have completely

42

rectified your Nefesh, you do not have the power to do it. You aredown under all of this sin and you cannot get up. In our case, JesusChrist our advocate is in Atzilut, he is above us, and he can beworking on all five areas of the world of Asiyah within us at once,because he is already above us, that is what it looks like to me.

Now, what it would be like to go from the world of Asiyah tothe world of Ruach or actually it would be the world of Yetzirah, Ihonestly do not know, I do not know. The way the Lord teaches meis that when that happens to me, then he will say to me, that is whatyou read about in the Gate of Reincarnations, you have now ascendedinto the world of Yetzirah. I do not believe that has happened to meyet. I believe I have some Yetziratic experience, I have spiritualexperiences, I see in the spirit, and I have a lot of knowledge, butthere is no way that I am fully conscious, maybe that is the sign, ifyou go into the world of Yetzirah, you become fully conscious. Ihave read several occult books where the authors claim that they arefully conscious in the astral plane, which is according to theKabbalists the Hebrew word is Yetzirah, the astral plane is the same.They claim they are fully conscious on the astral plane, that they walkthrough the earth doing their daily deeds and they see angels allaround them and they see the beings that exist in the astral plane, andthey literally dwell with them, well we dwell with them too, but weare not aware that they are here, that they visibly consciously dwellwith the beings that exist on the astral plane. This is what has justcome into my mind, perhaps that is what it means, our consciousnesshas to be fully active on each level of consciousness, just aware as weare here in this world, we could look out the window, we could walkout the door, we see other people, we know what is going on, we hearthe news, we hear what is going on across the world and in othercountries, we are fully conscious in this world, every area that oureyes can see, we can recognize. We know what a tree is, we knowwhat a truck is, we function in this world, we go out, we drive cars,we take planes, we buy clothes, we buy food, we are fully functioningon this level.

I am not fully functioning on the Yetziratic level. I have someYetziratic experiences, I have dreams, I see in the spirit, I amintuitive, I have knowledge, but I am pretty much blind, I am very

43

blind on the Yetziratic level. Brethren if you do not know it, I ampreaching this message largely by revelation. I did prepare for thismessage, I studied these notes, and I told the Lord when I studied, thatthere were areas that I could not relate to, I could read you thesenotes, but I could not really relate to it, I told the Lord that if hewanted me to have more information for you today, he was going tohave to help me, because I did not know how to apply what I amreading here to reality, to experience, I did not know how to do it, andthis is what is coming forth. I believe we just heard from the Lord.

The way we would understand that we had graduated to theYetziratic world or the world of Yetzirah which is on the level ofRuach which is the spiritual personality is that you become fullyconscious on that level. You receive the beings that dwell there, andyou would be able to interact with them, and so the same for theNeshamah, there are different species that dwell in each level of soul.Now remember the astral plane which is the world of Yetzirah is ahostile world. That is the world where evil entities and demons dwell.When we get to the Neshamah, the world of Neshamah, I am toldaccording to what I read, that it is a much safer place to be. So longas we are rooted in the Nefesh and the Ruach which is Asiyah andYetzirah, we are in danger of being preyed upon by what theKabbalists call the klipot. You want to call them demons, you can callthem demons.

There are entities that dwell in these worlds that seek for food,the energy of the human being. We are their food. They drink ourspiritual blood which is the energy that keeps us alive. The energythat flows in the blood of our veins. This is a dangerous place to be.See why I am having so much trouble walking on the treadmill?Because this world that I dwell in, I am rooted in Asiyah is so heavilyladen with the klipot, they work against me, everything that I try to doto ascend in God, they work against me. It is just like the gravity ofstarting a car or a spaceship taking off, you need the largest amountof fuel to get moving, once you get out of the atmosphere, a space-ship, or once the car is in cruising speed, it is much easier going, wehave got to get out of this realm, this world of Asiyah, we have got toget out of it, because it is working, everything we try to do, there areforces working against us, it will not always be this way. Life will not

44

always be this hard, we have to pierce through to the other side, andour existence will be much more peaceful and contented and pleasantthan it is here. This is a very hard war, I have been in this war fortwenty five years, and for years before that before I came to the Lord,Satan was trying to kill me, I have been in this war for all my life, Iam very tired. I do not know how much longer it will take for me topierce through, and I do not know so I have to keep on fighting, butit will not always be this way, it is just until we get past the gravityknown as Satan who keeps trying to pull us down every time weascend. We must fall out of agreement with her to overcome hermind. Any questions or comments before we go on, you have aquestion?

COMMENT: Looking at that graft, I kept thinking about thewoof and the warp when you say about the threads going this way andthat way, but right after that the Lord came to me, one of these peoplein Pennsylvania, they had these patches, they sit down and they havethese sewing circles and each one has a patch and they sew it together,and it made me think of all the worlds coming together and the beingsthat you speak of.

PASTOR VITALE: Well we are suppose to come togetheras one unity. All of the species of the world. Now remember each oneof us is a world. We are suppose to be unifying all of the specieswithin us. All of these species that dwell within us, all of these worldsand their inhabitants are within us, and they are running amuck, doingwhatever they want because we are not doing our job, and I do not saythat to condemn you, I am trying to raise your consciousness. Youneed to know that all of the worlds are unified in man. We areresponsible for pulling every world within us into order. If you needa natural example, this is what has happened in this ministry, when Ifirst started teaching in this ministry, everybody was out of order,everybody was in rebellion, everybody was trying to control thepastor, everybody wanted to do what they wanted to do, it is a miraclewhat has happened here, that you have all come into order to thedegree that you have, which is a pretty significant degree. It is amiracle, I never thought it would happen, I had days of hopelessness,but it is by the power of Jesus Christ that this ministry has shaped upand come into order. Well that is what you have to do with the worlds

45

within you. I have to do it with the worlds within me, you have to doit within the worlds within you.

We have to bring ourselves into right order, but you cannotbring the different elements of yourself into right order until you arewilling to look at them. You have got to look at the criminals within,and control them. You have to put them in jail, you say, I know thatyou are a part of me but you cannot manifest through me, I will notlet you. That is what we are all called to do. This is the rectificationof the soul, the real thing, not just saying prayers, it is the real thing,and by bringing these elements of our own self under the authority ofChrist Jesus within us, that is the rectification of the soul, we dealwith each element of ourselves that is sinning and say, you cannot sinanymore. We cannot get away from these elements. The first reactionthat people have when they move on in this program is that they justwant, they have any experience with old order deliverance, they say,I want it out, I think it is a demon, get it out of me, but this cannot becast out because it is you, it is a part of you that is unrighteous, andthe way you rectify it is by bringing this unrighteous aspect ofyourself under the authority of Jesus Christ, and redirecting it so thatit is now in a positive direction. We are getting more revelation here,everybody I hope you can hear this, this is the spiritual reality ofrectification. Christ Jesus within you must look at the unholy, ungodlyand spiritually criminal elements in your own mind, and you mustspeak to them, and tell them you will not think through me, I will notallow you to do it, but you will come under the authority of ChristJesus in me, and I will force you to do the associated work, whateveryour sin is, I am going to turn it around to the other side and use it forrighteousness sake. Whatever intelligence you are using for evil, I amgoing to take that level of intelligence and use it for the good of thekingdom, use it to apply it to study and understand every aspect ofyour soul that is being used to hurt other people. When you see envyin yourself, what good can you do with envy? Brethren, once yourecognize envy within yourself and war against it and prevail over it,you will see envy wherever it is manifesting in human beings and youwill be able to pray for those people, and if the Lord tells you it isappropriate, to even reveal it to them, but you will be able to pray forpeople and help people, because you will now recognize envy.

46

This is the true spiritualization of the rectification of the soul.When you are down in the Nefesh of the Nefesh, you are dealing withyour behavior, most of you here have been in the church all your lifeand your behavior is pretty rectified, then go down into the next level,the next layer underneath. I only know of the subconscious and theunconscious parts of the mind, I really do not know how to break itdown into five levels. I have the conscious, the subconscious and theunconscious. I will have to wait for the Lord to show me how to getfive levels out of that, I do not know where they are. You have to gointo the depth of your own being, look at the entities dwelling therewhich are really a part of you and by the force of your will in ChristJesus, cause them to turn from their evil ways and use that quality forthe kingdom of God. That is the true rectification. Praise the Lord.This is getting very interesting. On the level of Nefesh, we aredealing pretty much with surface issues on the level of Ruach, we aredealing maybe with the subconscious motives on the level ofNeshamah we are dealing with intellectual pursuits, doctrine. I guessI went through this earlier, the Lord keeps telling me this, I guess Ihave not really got it in my spirit yet. Then when you are rectifyingthe Chayyah of this world, you are dealing with a high level ofconscience, a political conscience, this is a conscience that is beyondyour own personal conscience, a societal conscience, a politicalconscience, a world view conscience, that conscience that you have,it has to line up with Jesus Christ.

Then Yechida, I am not really sure about that, except that Iknow that I am involved in that to some degree because Yechida hasno female, and I do not have any companion, there is nobody that Iknow that could be my companion, God is my companion. Asidefrom that, I do not know what to say about Yechida, but that you areseparated, you are separated from the intimacy of this world and youare joined to the Lord, maybe that is the whole thing. Once again Isee the Lord working with me on all five levels at once. Now that maynot be true of other people, but it is true of me. I am being dealt withon all five levels, unless this comes out by revelation, I have no ideahow my world would change when the Lord started dealing with meon the world of Yetzirah. The only thing I would say right now is thatevery aspect of soul, Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayyah, and

47

Yechida, that the Lord would be dealing with me on those levels in amuch more spiritual way, because Ruach is the world of Yetzirah,which is the spiritual world.

I know that I have asked the Lord if I will ever travel in thespirit, I have similar experiences to that, perhaps I have to ascend intothe world of Yetzirah to have those experiences, I do not know. Weshall see, whatever the Lord wants to give me is fine, I do not wantanything the Lord is not giving me. I do not want to go any faster thanhe takes me because I may not be able to cope with it, but I have aninsatiable desire for things of this spirit, and things of this life.Somebody was telling me that yesterday, somebody that knows mefor a long time, they know me for twenty four, twenty five years, andthey were telling me, Pastor Vitale, you have not changed in twentyfour years, you are insatiable for things of God. She said to me, youknow a lot of people, a lot of needy people came into the church andthey got what they needed, they got filled up and then they just wenton with their lives, and they stopped pursuing God in any radical way,because they got what they needed. She says, but you never filled up,and she is right, I have never filled up, and I hope that I never do.Praise the Lord.

I would guess that my soul is rooted in a pretty high place, ina place that pursues God. Well let us just keep going, we will getmore understanding as we go on, there is a lot that I do not know, butthere is a lot that the Lord has to tell us. Everybody understands thatthe principle is, you cannot, well the Kabbalistic principle is, youcannot start to work on Ruach until you have rectified Nefesh, but inChrist Jesus we are working on all five levels at once. Everybodyunderstand that? Let us go on, similarly in order to attain hisNeshamah from Beriah, a person needs to rectify every part of hisRuach in all of Yetzirah, after which he can then receive hisNeshamah from Beriah, but that is not true, you can get the mind ofChrist grafted to you by chasing and panting after Jesus Christ.

Now do not misunderstand me, once you get that Neshamah,once you get that mind of Christ grafted to you, you have to work onyour Nefesh, and you have to work on your carnality, you have towork on your social skills and your communication, and everythingthat we talked about here, you have to work on your Ruach, you have

48

to work on your spirituality, what does that mean? You have to bewilling to share your spiritual experiences with me, and you have torisk me telling you or some other member of the body of Christtelling you that, that dream that you had or that word of knowledgethat you had, that it was not from God. You have to be willing to takethat critic so that you can grow in Christ. Another thing I wanted totell you, this is a perfect example or a perfect way of understandingthe Scripture that says, we must grow up to the fullness of the statureof Jesus Christ.

A lot of people find it hard to believe that Christ could begrafted to you and he has to be trained up, but I have been teachingfor a long time that the Christ that is grafted to you has to be trainedup, that is what discipleship is all about. In order to enter into adiscipleship ministry, you have to have Christ grafted to you becauseit is Christ that is being disciple, your carnal mind is not beingdisciple. Well here it is right here, Christ is grafted to you on the levelof Neshamah of Asiyah and he has to be instructed and trained upbecause it is Christ in you that is ascending. Remember, your soulwhich is really your carnal mind has no power to get up beyond theNefesh of the Nefesh. It is Christ in you, he is the one that is ascend-ing.

Even though you have the Christ mind grafted to you at thelevel of Neshamah, you still have to go back and perfect yourbehavior, which is Nefesh, you have to perfect your communication,you have to perfect your social skills, that is all in Nefesh, we workon that a lot here.

Then you also have to perfect your Ruach, which is you haveto be trained to distinguish between the spirit of Christ and the spiritof Satan. You think everybody that first hears that, they say, well Icould tell the difference between Satan and Christ, oh really? Satan isgood and evil, can you tell the difference between Satan's goodnessand the righteousness of Christ, you cannot. That is the work on theRuach, that has to be perfected. The Neshamah is doctrine, you haveto be able to discern doctrinal error, you have to be able to distinguishbetween subtle nuances of doctrine, that has to be rectified.

As I told you the Chayyah is political conscience, world viewconscience beyond your own personal conscience. Yechida is when

49

you are separated from the intimacy of this world, and you could stillhave relationships with family, but you are not joined in the same waythat families are joined, you are separated from them, and you areconsecrated unto God. Well it sounds like I am sort of ready to moveon to the, because I can say amen to all of these aspects, I waspromoted to political conscience about a year and a half ago, and Iwas promoted to this whatever level of Yechida I am on, about twoyears ago, sounds like I am almost ready to start moving in the worldof Yetzirah, well that is exciting. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah.

The Lord will tell me when I am ready to move on. All of youlisten and all of you judge yourself, where are you? Judge yourselfwhere are you? I think most of you here are still in Nefesh of theNefesh, but that is not really true either, you have some spiritualityhere, you do, and you have some level of the mind of Christ if you areunderstanding this message, and to whatever degree you follow mewhen we have world conscience discussions, you are all, everyone inthis ministry is manifesting on four levels of soul. Can anybody notsee that? That you are all manifesting on some level in the first fourlevels of soul? You are all looking at me, can you see that, you cannotunderstand that? Can you understand that? Let us do it again, you areworking on your Nefesh, you are working on your communicationskills, right, you are working on your behavior. That is the Nefesh,Ruach is your spirituality. Everybody here at one time or another hasintuitive words of knowledge, the spirit moves upon you, right, right? All of you, you have to have some level of the Neshamah mind ofChrist, or you cannot possibly be sitting in these meetings and be inpeace. If you did not understand anything I was saying, you would bevery uncomfortable and squirming in your seats. You have to havesome level of the Neshamah soul, and you about a year and half ago,the Lord brought me into Chayyah the level of political conscious-ness, because I was never a political person, about three or four yearsago, he brought me into political consciousness, I started listening tothe interview programs and becoming interested in world events, andabout a year a half ago he brought me into political conscience, wherewe see the word of the Lord as to how he views things and his opinionof political events in the world. I know I have taken you up therewith me because we have such discussions.

50

When I take you up there with me, when I share with you whatthe Lord is showing me, for example, I will say to the Lord, Lord howdo you want me to pray about such and such an organization, what isyour intention for such and such an organization, for such and such aleader, a political leader, will you allow them to stay in office Lord? The Lord answers me, that is political conscience, that is an aware-ness of how Jesus Christ thinks, and what he intends to do concerningpolitical events, nations and leaders of nations. As I share that withyou, at those times you are up there with me and that means that eventhough you may not be doing on your own at this time, when we areup there as a group, and the Lord is giving us his mind set on politicalevents, that level of soul is touching you and is beginning to beformed in you. Everybody here is functioning in some level of thefirst four levels of soul. I believe I am the only one that is operatingin Yechida, you are all very involved with your families and I am notsaying that in any bad way, it is just a fact, you are all very involvedwith your families. I was removed from any human intimacy twoyears ago, I still have friends, I still have relationships, but I am notattached. The Scripture says, Jesus committed himself to no man,because he knew what was in men. I am not committed to any man,I am committed to Christ in you, but of course the English wordcommitted, I think that is probably a poor English translation, whatit means is that Jesus did not have a soul tie with any man. I do nothave a soul tie with anyone today. I have spirit ties with people, Ihave a relationship with Christ in you, you know, but any measure ofmy relationship with you that is soulish is ruled over by Christ.

You are all a lot further along than I thought you were. Whenwe first started this study I thought you were all in the Nefesh of theNefesh. That is good news, right? That is good news. Amen,Hallelujah, good news, but you all understand you are going to haveto rectify your Yechida before you can go on to the world of Yetzirah,and you cannot do that yourself, I am just telling you that if you keepon pursuing the Lord, at some point, he is going to break yourintimacy with all of your, whoever you intimate with. I do not knowhow he is going to do it, you know, I have lived alone for a long time,I do not know how he is going to do it when you are still in yourfamilies and you have husbands and wives and all that, but I am just

51

giving you the fact, before you can go on to the next world ofYetzirah and become a really spiritual person, you are going to haveto experience Yechida down here in Asiyah. Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah, anybody have anything to say? Glory to God, letus go on. I have just turned the page, we are on page two of sectionthree. I am reading everything that is here but he is pretty muchrepeating himself a lot, It is insufficient for him to rectify only theparticular place in which his soul root is grounded. As of this presenttime, I have no information from the Lord, as to how we coulddetermine or if he wants us to determine the place that our soul rootis rooted to. I do not know how to judge it. The whole point is wehave to rectify all twenty five cells of the world of Asiyah before wecan go on to the Nefesh of the world of Yetzirah, that you do not justrectify the place that you are rooted to, everybody understand that?Everybody understand that? That is the level in which the Nefesh isrooted. This is what, remember we are dealing with a translation anda commentary, so the translation of the next passage of the Gate ofReincarnations is, a person must rectify all of the aspects of eachlevel, excluding those that do not pertain to him at all, such as theMitzvot of the Cohen, even if he is a Yisrael, well there are differentkinds of Jews and the Cohen, they are a branch of the tribe of Levithat are anointed to minister in the altar with the services. Apparentlythere are certain kinds of prayers and rituals that you do if you are aCohen, or if you are a Yisrael, I think there is three kinds of Jews, andI do not remember what the third one is, Cohen, Yisrael, and a thirdone.

We are going to go past that because we are all potentially weare all equal in Christ Jesus because it is not really us that is ascend-ing, it is the Christ who has joined himself to us, that seed of Christthat has joined himself to us and woven himself together with us, thatis ascending, and Christ in me is the same as Christ in you, the Christin me maybe more mature than the Christ in you, but the Christ in youhas the same potential as the Christ in me, and the difference betweenyou and me is that the Christ in each of us, has to overcome the soulthat he is attached to, and we are not all equal in our soul, we are notall equal in the Nefesh, we are not all equal in the animal personalitythat we have. The Christ that is woven together your animal personal-

52

ity, he is equal, but he has a harder time with some of us than withothers, can you understand that? ...Rather, he must rectify all parts ofeach level as we have mentioned until he is fit to receive the Nefeshof all of Asiyah, and then he can attain his Ruach. Catch those words,until he is fit to receive, but Jesus Christ gives us aspects of soul thatwe are not fit to receive, but Christ in us is fit to receive, and Christis woven together with us, so whatever he gets, we get, if we do notkill him. We have to not kill Christ in you, because he is your hope,right?

Rather, he must rectify all parts of each level as we havementioned until he is fit to receive the Nefesh of all of Asiyah andthen he can attain his Ruach of Yetzirah, it is this way with all theworlds. The import of this above mentioned rectification, HebrewTikune is that one must be involved with the study of Torah and theperformance of Mitzvah or Mitzvot that correspond to all of Asiyah,not just those Mitzvot which correspond to the specific place to whichthe Nefesh is attached. Apparently, these Mitzvot, they are prayersand they are deeds that you have to do, there are specific deedsassociated with each aspect of the soul. I had a print out of them once,I think I, I know I gave it to you to read, I think we discarded it. Iprinted it off of the Internet, a whole list of these 235 I believe 235Mitzvot or good deeds that you are required to do, I would imaginethat each one of them symbolizes a particular aspect of purification ofour sin nature, but I do not have it anymore. Praise the Lord, thankGod we are delivered from this bondage right?

These 613 Mitzvot, now there are positive and negativeMitzvot, the 613 Mitzvot correspond to the various limbs and tendonsthat make up a human being whose shape represents the structure ofthe Sefirot in the spiritual realm. Remember the Sefirot, the structureof the Sefirot in the spiritual realm is called Partzuf, right, the Sefirotform Partzuf, or Partzufim, and these Partzufim in the spiritual reamlook like they have a humanoid body, but it is an etheric body, it isnot solid like this. They are saying that each and every one of theseMitzvot applies to a particular aspect of the human form. I guess ifyou have a sickness in a particular part of your body, you do theprayer or the Mitzvot that is associated with that part of the body.This may have worked before Jesus Christ came, maybe God honored

53

it, you know but today, I do not believe he is honoring that anymore,but of course if he is, that is his business, but we have a higher wayin Christ Jesus. In the sense that Partzuf refers to the entire humanform, each Partzuf consists of 613 limbs and tendons, thus theperformance of specific Mitzvot bring rectification to the correspond-ing parts of the human body and to the corresponding section of thePartzufim and Sefirot. That is what they are saying, the performanceof specific actions brings rectification to the corresponding parts ofthe human body and to the corresponding section of the Partzufim andSefirot.

I cannot tell you that it does not work, I cannot tell you that donot get healed, I do not think it would work for anyone that is inChrist, I cannot tell you that a Jew or a Kabbalist will not get healedif he prays the required Mitzvot because he has a disease or adeformity in some limb of his body, I do not know that, but I knowthat we have a better way in Christ. The Talmud has already taughtthat there are Mitzvot that have special significance for specificpeople, that is to say, one Mitzvah is important for a particular personand another Mitzvah is significant for a second person.

Nevertheless, in order to advance spiritually, each individualmust perform all the Mitzvot that he can, and not content himself withthe performance of only those Mitzvot that are significant to him. Youare suppose to keep all of these 613 behaviors, thank God we aredelivered from that, thank God, and not only are we delivered from it,but they do not work, you cannot be perfected by the keeping of theseMitzvot, you are in all this bondage, what are you in all this bondagefor? Jesus said to the Pharisees that even you yourself cannot bear thebondage and put all this bondage on the people, that says to me thatGod never ordained these rules and laws. These are rules and lawsthat a religious spirit got on the leaders of the Jewish people. Thisabove mentioned rectification is thus also applicable in the realm ofopposing Torah and Mitzvot. What does that mean? This abovementioned rectification is also applicable in the realm of upholdingTorah and Mitzvot. I do not know what that means, so let us go on.

Well, it is almost ten o'clock, we will start section four. Thisis chapter one, section four, entitled "Acquiring Levels Of Soul", solet me remind you that although I have this grid sketched on the

54

board, and although I have agreed that this must be Jacob's ladder, weare not climbing an existing ladder. We are having levels of soul, orrungs of the ladder added to us, the rungs of the ladder are beingadded to us according to the Gate of Reincarnations, as we merit it,but we know that Jesus Christ is our righteousness, so we have whatmay be perceived as a contradiction here, we merit all of these levelsof soul because Christ is woven together with our being, neverthelesson the other hand, we must work out our own salvation because, letme start that again, we would not be able to accomplish ascension ifChrist was not woven together with us, so we have to respond to theKabbalistic reincarnation and say we cannot agree with you, youcannot merit ascension, and your only way of ascension is throughChrist Jesus. Yet, once Christ Jesus is grafted to you, you have towork at it. What is given to you freely is the potential, but you mustwork that potential, and then as you work that potential, you get moreand more ability in Christ.

There really is a merit system here, does anyone not knowwhat I am talking about, there really is a merit system here, but themerit system is in Christ Jesus, you must understand that difference,that if you do not have Christ grafted to you, there is no merit systemthat can work for you. Also one must know that the Holy Spirit is notChrist. You cannot ascend in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is givenso that you can find Christ, the Holy Spirit is the precursor of Christbeing grafted to you. The Holy Spirit is the Malkhut of Atzilut, she isthe Shekinah, she is the Malkhut of Atzilut, and she is given to you todirect you to Ze'ir Anpin of Atzilut which is Christ Jesus the man.

COMMENT: What level do you think Jesus was born in?PASTOR VITALE: I do not know, I do not know, if the Lord

tells me I will be glad to tell you, obviously very high you know. Didyou have a question?

COMMENT: When you were on page two of section three,when you were reading about 613 Mitzvot corresponds...wordincomprehensible, well you know what word I got? It seems so funny,acupuncture.

PASTOR VITALE: Acupuncture? Well that is interesting. There is further in this study, I think it is chapter one, but it was, noit was in another book, I was looking at another book this morning,

55

because I told you that when we complete section seven of chapterone, I am going to give you a separate message and I will reference inthis series, but I will give you a separate message where we will gointo the study of the Partzufim and the Mochin and Ibur, youpregnancy and the different levels of pregnancy, because all thePartzufim and pregnancy, suckling and adulthood, they are mentionedvery briefly in this series, Gate of Reincarnations, but I want to fullyapprize you of all of that knowledge, which we will do I believe it isat the end of section seven, because section eight of chapter one startstalking about the Partzufim and pregnancy and all that. In thatmagazine that I was studying today for which I will be teaching thismessage, it shows you the image of a man and all of the nerves and allof the meridians just like you see in the, that they show you in thecharts of China's acupuncture, and this writer is a Rabbi who says,that the key that the Chinese talk about is the Nefesh, is the HebrewNefesh, and it is the energy of the body, and apparently the Chinesehave a lot of knowledge that this particular Rabbi that I study with,anyway agrees with, he himself is studying Kung Fu, I think he isabout to become a master. That is really interesting, I have heardMadame Lavatsky claims that the Chinese came over from the otherside of the flood, they seem to have a lot of spiritual knowledge andwisdom, and there are a lot Chinese that are converting to Christianitytoday, they are very spiritual people. It is very interesting to see thatconnection. Praise the Lord. Anybody else before we go on? PraiseGod.

We are in chapter one, section four, "Acquiring Levels OfSoul", the relationship of Tikune rectification, Tikune is the Hebrewword, rectification is the English word, the relationship of Tikunerectification to positive and negative Mitzvot, and what parts of eachworld must be rectified by a particular person in order that he mayadvance to the next level of soul. I guess that is what is going to bedealt with in this chapter. Part of the last paragraph of the previoussection has been repeated and the paragraphs of this section numberedin order to facilitate or make more easy for you, the explanation ofthis section. Going on with the translation now. It is not sufficient toonly rectify the particular spot to which his soul is connected. It is notsufficient and here is the commentary now, it not sufficient to only

56

rectify the particular spot to which his soul is connected, rather hemust rectify all aspects of each level as we have already mentioneduntil he marries all of Asiyah, at which time he can achieve his Ruachof Yetzirah, it is this way with all the worlds.

Now, what I am going to do here, as I have told you, I havegone ahead and read this whole chapter. Now what I just started toread you was referenced as number one and there are four paragraphshere, you will see on page one and two, there are four numberedparagraphs, and after we get past that, actually there is five para-graphs, there is a couple of more pages here, and after we get pastthat, in section four, if you go forward to section four, you see thatthere is a review of section three where it is explained in much moredetail. I think that I am not going to go out of my way to try to teachyou this, because I did not really understand it myself until I studiedsection four. We are just going to read through it, I will makewhatever little comments I feel led to make, but there is a deep studyassociated with this section in the following section. Is everybody allright? I do not know if we will go on to section five tonight, I willsee, I mean I will see how I feel, I am getting a little tired, I think ifI feel that I could still be productive, and if I feel that you arefollowing me, I may continue on, but if I am too tired and I feel thatI cannot give it everything that I am suppose to give it, we will putthis off until next week.

We are just going to continue to read through now in sectionfour. This one, paragraph one was really a repeat from the sectionbefore that, that you cannot just rectify the one particular spot, youhave to rectify the whole section. Now paragraph two, this means thatone must be involved with the study of Torah and the doing of herMitzvot. Now that is what we do here, we are involved with the studyof Torah.

You cannot just be doing this Kabbalistic work, you have toalso be having studies in the Bible which the Lord gives us studies inthe Bible too from time to time. You have to be involved in the studyof the Torah, and the doing of her Mitzvot, and we know that theMitzvot have spiritualized, that we are looking at our sins, and we areresisting our sins, we are recognizing them, and resisting them and weare rejecting them in preference of the comparable aspect of that

57

behavior which is in righteous Christ Jesus, that is the Mitzvot that wedo. We are not just making the surface of the platter clean, we arecleaning the inside. Likewise if a person sins and blemishes aparticular spot in Asiyah, even though it is not the place to which hisNefesh is attached, he must rectify it. We are told here that it ispossible to sin and blemish a spot in the world where your Nefesh isnot attached. Now I do not know what to tell you about that, I have to,if the Lord does not give me revelation on that, I honestly do notknow what to say, because I do not even know how to tell where mysoul is attached, and even if I knew how to tell where my soul orwhere your soul is attached, I do not know what it means to commit,well I do know, I guess the Lord is telling me I do know, in otherwords, if it is revealed that your soul that is attached to the Neshamahof the Nefesh which is the mind of Christ, and even though that iswhere you come from that place and you get involved in some kindof sexual sin which is a lower place, that would be the Nefesh of theNefesh, you still have to purify the Nefesh of the Nefesh even thoughyour soul is not rooted there, you have to make good, because whenyou sin, you blemish or you dirty the soul, that is what the wordblemish means.

There is a fruit of the sin that corrupts your soul, and you haveto make it right. I have no problem with that, you know, no matterhow high up you are, I mean I sin all the time, and wherever I am, Iam higher than anybody that I know, but wherever I am, I sit in otherareas all the time. The one thing I can think of is the Lord has told meto not watch mafia movies and I liked the Godfather, that may soundsilly to you, but the Lord told me that the people who love these mafiamovies, that what is manifesting in you and in me is an envy of evil. I could look at this movie as much as I enjoy it and I could tell youthat I admire power, but This is an evil power. What is drawing meto that movie, I like watching that movie. there is something in myheart that is drawing me to a manifestation of power that is not inChrist. Well Pastor Vitale what is the big deal about that? Everythingthat is not Christ is sin. I am just telling you this as a way of showingyou how even though you could be rooted in a high spiritual level,you can be tempted to partake of something that you should not bepartaking of, and we are told that, that blemish is your soul, and that

58

you have to rectify it, well how do you rectify that? Well the firstthing you have to do is repent and stop doing it, and turn away fromit, I guess, I am just pushing my way through this teaching as the Lordhelps me, bear with me please.

Does everybody understand that, any questions about what Ijust said? I feel to say it again, you could be on a very high spirituallevel, you could be moving in the Christ centered Kabbalah and veryhigh doctrine and then something could come along and catch youreye, you could be tempted to envious of somebody, come down tothat low level and not resist the envy in your heart.

The fact that you are rooted in a higher level does not meanthat it is impossible for you to sin on a lower level, and well, I am notgoing to get into that yet. Well I will tell you this much, you will findas we go on with these lessons that what the teaching is, that as weascend, thinking of these levels of soul and the rungs of a ladder, aswe ascend, we pull up the ladder behind us. Did you ever see that ina cartoon? I have seen that in a cartoon, where some, Daffy Duck orsomebody is climbing up a ladder and he is pulling up the ladderbehind him? Have you ever seen anything like that?

Yeah, so long as we are in this world of Asiyah, now pleaseforgive my you know my indecision as I tell you all the time, I teachyou as I study, I do not know whether it is the whole world of Asiyahor whether it is the Nefesh of Asiyah, I do not know, but we have toascend above this place where the klipot are, I just talked about thatearlier, that as soon as we ascend out from this place where the klipotare life will be much easier for us. It must be the whole world ofAsiyah, I think it is the whole world of Asiyah. As we ascend throughthe world of Asiyah, we have to pull up the levels of soul behindourselves because, let us say for example, we rectify the whole of theNefesh and we move on to the Ruach, where no longer according tothe Kabbalistic teaching, we are no longer living out of the Nefesh,we are living out of the Ruach. Look it is just another way of metelling you, you have to stop living out of your carnal mind and youhave to start living out of Christ.

Well, when you start living out of Christ, what happens toyour carnal mind, it is still there, and it is still there and as long as weare in this low plane where all these evil entities are, your carnal mind

59

will be attacked when you live out of Christ. Now that is the doctrineof Christ, I have been teaching that for years, that Christ Jesus ascendsinto the left side of the heart center, and your soul is down in the thirdcenter in the belly, and Satan is attacking your soul, trying to get youto sin, do you remember that? Remember me teaching that? Welearned that years ago. Well that is what they are telling us in thisGate of Reincarnations, that you have to take your soul with you oryou would have to raise up your carnal mind with you so long as youare in this unclean realm, because all the entities will be attacking andmisusing that other part of you.

However we are told in the Gate of Reincarnations that onceyou pierce through this level of Asiyah and once you get into theworld of the Ruach, you do not have that problem anymore, becausethere is no, well, I thought I told you that the world of the Ruach isthe astral plane where the evil entities are, please forgive me if I am,and just go with the spiritual principles that I am telling, if I amconfusing these details, please do not get hung up on it, but go withthe spiritual principles. Once you get past this place where the klipotare, and I believe whatever the next world is you know, I do notknow maybe the klipot are in the Ruach or in the Yetzirah of Asiyah,I do not know, I do not have it down pat yet, once you get out of thatplace where the klipot are, and I will have the correct details for youwhen we get to that place in the text, I do not know where I read itright now, does anybody not know what I am talking about? I do notwant to even stop to take the time to find where I read it. Once youget to that place where you pass out of the world of the klipot are,then let us say you are in the world of Yetzirah, I may have the wrongname. Let us say you are in the world of Yetzirah, and you com-pletely rectify the Nefesh of Yetzirah, and now you are in the Ruachof Yetzirah. You do not have to take the Nefesh up with you becausethere is no klipot in that world. It is safe enough to leave the Nefeshbehind you, then when you ascend in to the Neshamah of Yetzirah,you can leave the Ruach of Yetzirah behind you, because there is noklipot there that are going to use that against you. Does anybody notunderstand what I just said? You leave, according to Kabbalisticreincarnation, according to Isaac Luria, as you ascend to higher levels,you literally shed levels of soul and just leave them there and do not

60

use them anymore, and Isaac Luria says, and it is these shed levels ofsoul that you do not use anymore that have been rectified that go forthand will enter into other human beings, seeking to improve them-selves and to help them learn Kabbalah and to serve God.

That is the teaching of Isaac Luria, I will receive it as long asI do not have any rejection of it in my spirit, I receive it unless theLord brings a correction on that, and as you all know, and I put thattestimony on this tape, something entered into me and from that dayforward, I was able to understand...(End of Tape two)

Tape 3

After I was enlightened which was virtually immediately afterthis entity entered into me and enlightened my understanding, Irealized how completely inadequate my understanding of the tree oflife had been up until that point. According to Lurianic Kabbalah,that which entered into me would have been a rectified aspect of soulof someone who had ascended much higher and shed or left thisrectified element of soul behind, that they go forth to help humanbeings. Brethren, I want to tell you that if this was not my experience,I would never believe this. I want to tell you, if I heard someonepreaching this, and it was not my experience, I would say run for yourlife, this person is crazy, but it happened to me, and you all know, allof you here, and those of you who listen to my tapes, you all knowthat I told you about it, well I do not know if it got on this tape, but Itold everybody here, I told you all about it six months before I foundout what happened to me. I told you that it happened to me, I told youwhat I saw and what I experienced, so it is happening to me.

Nobody can take your experience away from you, it is thesame thing with an experience of salvation, these Jewish people, theyare going to have to have a personal experience with Jesus Christ, justlike I was, I happened to be studying in my bed at that time, Iremember exactly what happened, I was studying in my bed and I sawthis it was I do not even want to try to, I saw something through thecorner of my eye, it was very fast and it entered into me, scared mehalf to death. I would never believe it, these Jews, they are going to

61

have to have a similar experience, they are going to have to have anexperience with Jesus Christ that they cannot deny. However he isgoing to manifest to them, it will be something similar to whathappened to Paul, you just cannot deny your experience, you can fightwith me, all the Rabbis in the world can fight with me if they want to,and I will not get anywhere with them, and they will not get anywherewith me, but when it happens to you, it happens to you. They aregoing to have to have their experience, this is how I am learningKabbalah, I tell you openly, everybody listening to this tape orreading this transcript, if you are uncomfortable with what I amsaying here and you want to do what is in your own best interest, youpray to Jesus Christ for a witness to what I am saying. You say, Lordif this is the truth help me to believe it, and if it is not the truth, savemy life, you pray that prayer, I am not afraid of you praying thatprayer, because I know what I am preaching is of God, you pray thatprayer.

I would never believe this stuff if it was not happening to me,praise the Lord, Hallelujah. Let us go on. Even though a person'sNefesh comes from a specific place in the world of Asiyah, he is stillresponsible to acquire every level of Asiyah, the Nefesh, the Ruach,the Neshamah, the Chayyah and the Yechida of Asiyah, as we havelearned at the end of the previous section. Likewise, if he commits asin that affects a part of Asiyah to which his soul is not particularlyconnected, he is responsible to rectify the blemish, since he isexpected to acquire that level as well on his way to attaining Ruachof Yetzirah. In other words, if you are deeply into Christ and you havesome slip, you yield to envy or whatever, you cannot just ignore it andsay, Oh I never do that, it was just that one time and I am going toforget about it, it is essential to the whole process of ascension thatyou face what manifested in your heart, that you truly repent and askthe Lord to forgive you and then in the case of envy, you would haveto pray for the person, I know when that happens to me I break thecurses on them and I bless them in every way I know how, that is howI rectify that sin. If you ignore it, you have not rectified the sin, andfrom what I could see, if you are just having trouble ascending, youmay not even know why you are having trouble ascending. Once youdo not deal with it immediately, you forget about it, and then you

62

have to go through a whole process of praying and whatever else, thatto ask the Lord to reveal to you what is blocking you. You have todeal with it immediately, and if you do not think you have any envy,you are deceived, because envy is a part of the fallen nature, it is afoundational sin common to all men, and it is not a potential, it is asin that manifests in your mind and in your heart if you are willing tolook at it and believe it, it is there. Envy has nothing to do with logic,it is just amazing the things that envy will arise in me over, and I willlook at these sins in my heart and say, Lord that is crazy, I do noteven want that thing, that I should be envious of that person, I do notwant what they have, I would not change places with them foranything in the world, but I am parts, and the part of me that is sayingthat, I do not even want that, that is true, but there is another part ofme, it is Satan in the unconscious part of my mind that is injectingthoughts of envy into my mind, hoping to convince my consciousmind to say, amen, I am envious.

You have to be divided, you have to be separated from yoursin nature to see that there are different parts of you that are function-ing, but if the part of you that truly is not the least bit interested inwhat that person has, that part of you does not resist the part of youthat is trying to get you to want what that person has, because sin isa seduction. The thoughts of Satan arise in your mind trying to seduceyou to desire what someone else has. If the part of you that reallydoes not want it, does not stand up and resist the part of you that istrying to seduce you to want it, at some point, the seducing part ofyou is going to cause a sin, that will cause you to reap what that sinhas sown, it is a part of you, that wickedness is a part of you. If youdo not stamp it out, slap it down and stamp it out, you will reap thefruit of envy even though you really are not even interested in whatthat person has. Do you understand what I am telling you? Do youunderstand what I am telling you? Praise the Lord. Glory to God.

Likewise if he commits a sin that affects a part of Asiyah towhich his soul is not particularly connected, he is responsible torectify the blemish, I think I read this already, since he is expected toacquire that level as well on his way to attaining Ruach of Yetzirah.Paragraph three, however, if another Nefesh failed to perform aspecific Mitzvah, that is the singular of Mitzvot, Mitzvah, however if

63

another Nefesh failed to perform a specific Mitzvah from the worldof Asiyah or sinned and blemished something in the world of Asiyah,this does not obligate him to rectify the missing Mitzvah or theblemish caused by the sin of the other Nefesh. If they are both fromthe same place however, then this is not the case as we will explainlater on with God's help.

Now I did not understand that at all, when I went on to sectionfour, which I believe is the next section, it explains, section four is anexplanation of this, let me just get my numbers straight here, I amsorry that my memory is not any better than it is, yes, we are workingon section three now. Section four explains section three and sectionfour will tell us that this paragraph, number three in section three istalking about two souls occupying the same body.

Now, I do not have any knowledge of that yet, even when weget to section four, well, even here in the paragraph it said, howeverthis is not the case as we will explain later on with God's help, so thisconcept of two souls occupying one body is a principle that IsaacLuria teaches. I do not have any understanding of it at this time, Ihave not, I think I have read through three chapters already either itdid not cleave to me when I read it, or it is not explained untilchapters, beyond chapter three. I do not know what this means to havetwo souls in one body you know, but it should be interesting to hearabout it. I am not going to put too much stock in this paragraph threebecause I do not know what he is talking about. Let us just go on.Though this will be explained in a later chapter, it can be... so we aretalking about the two souls in the one body, this is the comment, what I just read to you was the translation and now here is thecomment by the translator, though this will be explained in a laterchapter, it can be said here briefly that there are times when more thanone soul occupies a single body. If the souls originate from the sameroot, then they share a common responsibility and need for Tikune,that is the Hebrew word for rectification. However if they do notcome from the same root, then the deficiency or sin of one Nefeshdoes not necessitate the other to be part of the rectification process.

What we are being told here is that it is possible for two soulsto incarnate in a body and there is a difference in their relationshipconcerning sin, concerning whether or not they both come from the

64

same root. If they do not come from the same root, then if one soulsins, the other soul does not have to make rectification for it. Howeverif they come from the same root, if one soul sins, the other soul has tomake rectification also. As I told you, I do not have anymoreinformation on this, this should be very interesting, I cannot evenconceive of, to me a soul is a personality, how do you have twopersonalities occupying one body, short of having multiple personali-ties which I do not think that, that is what this is talking about. Wewill just wait until we find the explanation for it.

Paragraph four, alternatively it is possible that the concept ofTikune rectification applies only to blemishes resulting from sin andnot from the lack of performance of any of the 248 positive com-mandments. I believe what this is saying is that this number of 631,that some of them are positive commandments and others are negativecommandments. In other words, some are thou shalt not, and othersare thou shalt. What we are being told here in paragraph number four,is that, concerning the commandments or the Mitzvot that say thoushalt not, let me read this again. This applies only to blemishesresulting from sin. If the commandment is thou shalt not and you doit anyway, that is a sin, and not from the lack of performance of the248 positive commandments.

There are 248 commandments that say, you shall do this, youshall wash your hands before you eat, you shall not mix milk andflesh, commandments saying, you should not do this, that if you failto comply with these commandments, it is not a sin, that is what theyare saying here. You will see when we get to chapter four that this isa controversy and a question, so the discussion in chapter four willclarify it, I do not have it deep enough in my spirit right now to do itout of my own spirit, although I did spend some time studying this,this morning. Let me just read this again, alternatively it is possiblethat the concept of Tikune rectification applies only to blemishesresulting from overt sin, something that you do that is wrong, but thatTikune rectification is not necessary if you just fail to do the 248positive commandments, if you fail to put on the tefilin, if you fail tosay a certain prayer, that, that does not produce a blemish that needsto be rectified, I do not understand that, but that is what it says.Paragraph five, or the following is possible and it is the correct

65

interpretation. Let us say that a soul is from the Malkhut of the Nukvah of

Asiyah called the Nefesh of Asiyah. If you take the tenth Sefirotcalled Malkhut and subdivide it into ten Sefirot, it becomes a Partzufcalled Asiyah, this is getting pretty complicated. I would have to putthis on the board for you, I do not know if I want to go on. I think mymind is giving out, I will read you the paragraph but I do not thinkyou will be able to follow it. If you take the tenth Sefirot calledMalkhut and subdivide it into ten Sefirot, it becomes a Partzuf calledAsiyah. Now that is a Partzuf we have never heard about. Do youhear this, if you take the tenth Sefirot called Malkhut and subdivideinto ten Sefirot, those ten sub-Sefirot under Malkhut have a name, itis called Asiyah, it is a Partzuf, let me put it on the board for you.

Drawing #5, we have on the board what is called the generalstructure of the tenth Sefirot, and Malkhut, the tenth Sefirah is brokendown into another ten Sefirot which is called a subset, this subsetfrom Keter to Malkhut is a subset of the Malkhut of the generalstructure of the Sefirot, and then we have the Malkhut of the subset orthe Malkhut of the Malkhut, it is broken down into another subset often Sefirot, this is called the subset of the subset of the generalstructure of the ten Sefirot.

Now this is the condition of a soul, it is possible for your soulto be in this condition, where the soul is living out of the Malkhut ofthe subset of the subset of the general ten Sefirot. Do not knockyourself out, this is very confusing, it is in the text so we are going tolook at it, I would not knock myself out. Now the name or the waythis Malkhut of the subset of the subset of Malkhut is called, the namethat it is called by or the way it is identified is, the Malkhut of theMalkhut, well first of all, this, I did not tell you this, I am sorry, thesubset of the Malkhut of the general structure of the ten Sefirot is aPartzuf, these ten, these ten Sefirot which are the subset of theMalkhut of the general structure, is a Partzuf called Asiyah, and thatgets confusing because there is a world of Asiyah too, so we have aPartzuf called Asiyah and a world called Asiyah. Now what we aredoing right now is we are naming the Malkhut of the subset of thesubset of the Malkhut of the general structure and this is what she iscalled, she is called what I just said, the Malkhut of the Malkhut of

66

Asiyah. The Malkhut of the Malkhut of the Partzuf, Asiyah, she isalso called the Malkhut of the Nukvah of Asiyah because Malkhutand Nukvah are interchangeable, what is the difference betweenMalkhut and Nukvah, does anybody know? Does anybody remember? Go ahead.

COMMENT: Nukvah is called a Partzuf.PASTOR VITALE: Nukvah is a Partzuf. Right, Nukvah is

the personality associated with Malkhut. You could say, the Malkhutof the Malkhut of Asiyah, and you could say the Malkhut of theNukvah of Asiyah, or you could say, the Nefesh of Asiyah, that iswhat we are told, the Nefesh, I do not even understand that myself. Itis pretty obvious from the diagram on the board that this Malkhutdown at the bottom of the board is called the Malkhut of the Malkhutof Asiyah, we can all see that. We can also see that it is called theMalkhut of the Nukvah of Asiyah, because Malkhut and Nukvah areinterchangeable right? It is not so easy to understand how thisMalkhut can be called the Nefesh of Asiyah. Now, this subset of thegeneral ten Sefirot is a Partzuf called Asiyah, and Nukvah, do youremember earlier in this message we had a chart, I do not know whatdrawing number it is, but it tells us that the Malkhut and Nukvah areinterchangeable, and the Nefesh, Asiyah, Malkhut, and Nukvah de'Zer Anpin are all interchangeable.

Malkhut can also be called Nefesh, are you all following meon that? They are all interchangeable, Nefesh, Asiyah, Malkhut, andNukvah, are all terms that are interchangeable and what theKabbalists do, I have seen this in another series that we taught, it isvery confusing but they drop one of the terms, and by saying theNefesh of Asiyah, the Nefesh of Asiyah, they are just dropping thisextra Malkhut, they could say the Nefesh of the Nefesh of Asiyah, butthey just drop one, and when I first found this Kabbalistic practice,when we were studying the Tree of Life, it really was upsetting meand the Lord had to tell me that, that was my pride, you know. I wasall confused with the Rabbis teachings, and I think at one point I wasactually annoyed and the Lord had to rebuke me on that, becausewhen you study with somebody, and sometimes you all try and dothat to me, and I had to repent of doing that, you have to come up tothe level of the teacher that you are studying under, and if you cannot

67

understand something that, that teacher is saying, you have to ask theLord to help you to come up there. Now I have heard in this ministryfrom time to time in a particular one person is always trying to pullmy teaching down to a lower level, saying, well the people will notunderstand it, you should come down to a lower level.

No, I should not come down to a lower level, anybody whowants to study with me has to come up to my level. I am not comingdown and making it baby food for people, if you cannot hack it youshould not be here. If you have a question, you come and ask me. Ifyou are having a problem with it, I will pray for you, but do not askme to come down to your level, you have to come up where I am, thisis not a baby place, this advanced mature study. You have to rise upto the level of the school or you do not belong here, it is as simple asthat. That is what these Kabbalists do, I personally even at this stageof the game find that very confusing, almost to the point that if Iwould let myself, I would get upset over it, because I tend to get upsetwhen I cannot understand things, but that is what they do. How amI going to handle it? I am going to say, Lord please help me to ascendto this level of understanding that these Kabbalists have such adeveloped brain that it does not confuse them, but they take this shortcut, instead of saying the Malkhut of the Nukvah of Asiyah, insteadof saying the Nefesh of the Nefesh of Asiyah, they just say the Nefeshof Asiyah, and by the context of the whole paragraph, you and I haveto decide whether it is this Malkhut in the first subset or the Malkhutin the second subset, when the Kabbalist calls this the Nefesh ofAsiyah, we do not know. The people are demanding that institutionslower their standards to accommodate the people rather than demand-ing excellence that the people should study and pray and do whateverthey have to do to rise up to the standard, and colleges and universi-ties and police departments and fire departments, they are all loweringtheir standards, and that mentality if that is how you think, and wehave that in this ministry, if that is how you think, you need to knowthat, that thought process in your mind is an aspect of the mark of thebeast, Christ requires and enables us to arise to excellence. Christdoes not bring down standards.

Praise the Lord. We are still reading these comments on paragraph

68

five here, on page three of section three. A person has to rectify hisfive roots in the five Partzufim of Asiyah. His five roots in the fivePartzufim of Asiyah, well where are the five Partzufim of Asiyah?This is very complicated, I am just going to read it off and explain itto the best of my ability, if you cannot understand it, I would notworry about it. What the text is talking about here is someone whosesoul is at the level of the subset of the subset of Malkhut, that is thegeneral structure of ten Sefirot as we explained with drawing number5, but here in drawing number 6, we have shown the Partzuf Asiyah,broken down into the five Partzuf of the Partzuf, Asiyah, there arePartzufim within Partzufim.

The Partzuf Asiyah has five Partzufim within it, and the textthat we are reading or we are dealing with right now says, he willhave to rectify the soul that exists at this level of the subset of thesubset of the tenth Sefirah Malkhut within the general structure of tenSefirot, he will have to rectify all of the Malchuyot, that is the pluralof Malkhut, all of the Malchuyot of the Ruach and the Neshamah andthe Chayyah, and the Yechida of Asiyah. I have not broken that downon the board for you, and I do not intend to do it, but the Ruach, theNeshamah, the Chayyah and the Yechida of Asiyah, now if you goback to your chart that we struggled with earlier today, the Ruach ofAsiyah is equal to Ze'ir Anpin and the I am trying to read the exactwords here, this person will have to rectify the Malkhut of the Ruachof Asiyah, and the Ruach of Asiyah is Ze'ir Anpin.

Remember these words are interchangeable. Ze'ir Anpin eventhough we are told Ze'ir Anpin is Chesed through Yesod. Within thatPartzuf there are ten, another ten full Sefirot. I am getting confusedmyself at this. The person who is at this level of soul has to locate thehis root in Ze'ir Anpin and rectify that, and he has to locate his root inBinah, he has to rectify the root in Neshamah, and the Neshamah isassociated with Imma, mother, so he has to find his root in Imma, andhe has to find his root in the Chayyah, and in the Yechida. He has tofind his root in Abba, and in Arik Anpin, and he has to, and each ofthose Partzufim, he has to break them down into the ten Sefirot, andrectify Malkhut in that Partzuf. I do not even know what that meansmyself. The only thing that I could tell you at this time is that, whenwe rectify aspects of our soul, we have to go as deep as the Lord Jesus

69

Christ anoints us to go into the depths of the unconscious part of ourmind.

I told you earlier on this message, I do not know how to breakdown the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious parts of the mindinto five levels, I do not know how to do it, but most likely what iscoming now, is that there are just within the unconscious there isprobably just deeper and deeper levels of the unconscious, I just donot know how to break it down. We have to go deeper and deeperand deeper, and I expect at least what is coming to me now, Iremember that this message has been largely by the spirit of revela-tion because, let me remind you that when Kabbalists teach, they havea text like this, and any Kabbalist would tell you, you should not bedoing this yourself, you should be studying with a teacher, because ittakes the teacher to explain the words, and our teacher is the glorifiedJesus Christ, as he speaks through me. I have studied this text to thebest of my ability before I came out here this morning, and the LordJesus Christ is giving us the revelation on it, so this has been a verydifficult message for me, and I just ask you to hang in there with me,as I stumble, because it is very difficult preaching by revelation likethis, a lot of what I told you tonight, I never heard of before, and I amgoing to have to listen to these tapes myself, because if I do not, whena message comes forth by revelation, if I do not study the tape myself, it never gets into my own soul and forget it, because I am notthe one who said it, in this case, I am just like you sitting in thismeeting, if I do not listen to this tape and get it down deep inside ofme, I will not retain it. What is coming to me now is that there arejust deeper and deeper depths of the unconscious part of the mind andas we get into the true depths of the unconscious part of the mind, westart getting into previous incarnations. We start getting into theblemishes of previous incarnations. Now I have had a touch of that inmy career if you want to call it that, as this minister of Christ, on onlyseveral occasions in twenty five years, the Lord has opened myspiritual vision to events of either a past life or events of an ancestor,and of course we are our ancestors, that was causing a problem in aparticular person's life, and when that person repented on behalf oftheir ancestor, the bondage was broken, that has happened severaltimes. In one case the person's ancestor was a foreman of someone

70

who is, I do not know what the right word is, but he worked on aslave plantation and he was the man who beat the slaves and if theydid not work, and he was a very cruel man, and the Lord let me seethat in the spirit, so that was going into very deep levels of theunconscious, levels of the mind, you know, and I just have to believethat the Lord will clarify these issues to me as I continue to studythem, because I certainly do not have all the information that I wouldlike to have. I do not know how to identify the different levels of theunconscious part of the mind, but I remind you that there is a part ofus called our immortal soul that reincarnates. The personality does notreincarnate, the body is not rising from the dead. It is not our physicalbones that are rising from the dead, but there is a root inside of us,there is a seed inside of us, that nine tenths of what we are dies whenthe physical body dies, and there is just that spiritual seed, that tenththat goes on from generation to generation, and each time that tenthincarnates, it takes on a new personality and new physical body, butthat seed that goes from generation to generation is having experi-ences and is trying to grow up into a full grown man in Christ, whichis impossible until that seed joins to the Savior, Jesus Christ.

This seed has been going on for generations of incarnationstrying to work its way out of hell, but we know it is impossible,because every time you sin, you have to come back and rectify yoursin, and it is an endless loop, it never stops until you join to JesusChrist who drags you up by a hair. Praise the Lord. I just had a veryinteresting thought, I have always wondered about that Scripture inNew Testament which says, the woman that brought Jesus thealabaster box filled with spices that she washed his feet with her hair,I remember praying and saying, Lord what in the world is thesignificance of that, surely that does not make any sense in the naturalat all. Now the feet signify the carnal mind, and the hair signifies thespirit of the woman, and what that means, what is coming to me rightnow is that the feet, well the carnal mind of Jesus Christ was com-pletely under the authority of his Christ mind, at this point in thepicture he was already God. This is the whole concept of a Savior, hehas experienced the same things that we have experienced, he wasman in the days of his flesh.

This woman, her human spirit attached to the carnal mind of

71

Jesus Christ which was already underneath his Christ mind and hadceased from sin. Our humanity which has not ceased from sin islatching on to that human aspect, whatever is left of it at this point,God only knows, I do not have all the answers, our sinful humanityis latching on to the aspect of the glorified Jesus Christ or the aspectof Christ Jesus in us, that is human, and by latching on to that aspectof Christ Jesus in us that is human, because that human aspect inChrist Jesus is completely rectified, completely ceased from sinbecause of its union with the Christ, by our human spirit latching onto that human element, we come under that cover of righteousness,did I make that clear, does anyone not know what I am talking about? When she washed his feet with her hair, it meant that her spirit joinedto his humanity, and by joining to his humanity that was under therighteous cover of the Christ in him, she came under the righteouscover of the Christ in him.

Oh, I love this, I just love it. Whenever you hear somethinglike that in the Scripture you have to know it is a parable, that doesnot make any sense that some woman came in and spilled spices allover him and washed his feet with her hair, I mean that does not makeany sense at all, does that make any sense, it just does not. You haveto realize the more bazaar a statement is in the Scripture, the morelikely it is a metaphor. I even wonder about any alabaster box that shebroke over him, maybe it is true, maybe it was not, but what that saysto me is that she came in with a broken spirit, with a repentant heart,her carnal mind was broken and she was seeking true salvation fromthe master, and that was what she poured over him, repentance is abeautiful, beautiful spirit, a spirit of repentance is a blessing to anyonethat is trying to help you, it is a great glorious spirit. That is what weare talking about, rectifying this level of soul and it is confusing meso I can imagine that it must be confusing you, and this is what thetext says, you will have to rectify all the Malchuyot, or the Malkhutof each of these levels of soul that I have marked out for you there. Aperson has to rectify his five roots in the five Partzufim, in otherwords, if your soul is rooted in Malkhut, you have to rectify theMalkhut of the Nukvah, you have to rectify the Malkhut of Ze'irAnpin, you have to rectify the Malkhut of Imma, of Abba, and of ArikAnpin. Again, I do not know how to tell you how to distinguish

72

between the Malkhut of all these Partzufim. The Lord has given us some information tonight about the

rectification of different aspects of your soul, you know of rectifyingbehavioral sin, rectifying communication errors, rectifying pride thatwill rise up against authority, that is all the Nefesh of the Nefesh,rectifying spiritual things, being able to distinguish between the mindof Christ and Satan, rectifying the Neshamah, the ability to discernfalse doctrine, and correct it, it is not just enough to recognize thefalse doctrine, to completely rectify your Neshamah, you have to beable to correct false doctrine, etc, etc, but when these levels of Sefirotbreak down into subsets of subsets of subsets at this present time I donot have any information as to what these fine nuances of rectificationof your soul would be, except that the Lord has told us tonight that hegoes deeper and deeper into the unconscious part of your mind, andwhat is the unconscious part of your mind? It is motive. He goesdeeper and deeper into the sources of our motives.

Now, over the years I have heard all kinds of things from thecongregation here, I have heard statements such as there is no motive,I just did it. No you are mistaken, you may be blind, deaf, and dumbas to what your motive was, but there is always a motive, you are justnot looking at it. Then I have heard you know denial of motive, wehave gone through a lot together, we have been through a lot here, butyou need to know that every word you speak, everything you do,every thought you say arises out of a motive that comes up out of theunconscious part of your mind, and the fact that you are blind to itdoes not mean that it does not exist, and even more so if you inChrist, and I would expect everyone listening to this message orreading this transcript is in Christ, that motive that is arising out of theunconscious part of your mind is your enemy. That is death dwellingin you, at some point you must recognize the enemy within and startto fight it, that is death speaking to you, that is the Serpent in theGarden speaking to Eve, trying to destroy you and bring you downfrom whatever place Christ has raised you up to, and to keep you inbondage in this world. That voice that you hear, that thought that youhave is not your friend, and you must ask yourself why you aredefending the Serpent within you, and I condemn you not, I am justtrying to get you all going. You have got to ask yourself why you are

73

defending the Serpent within you.You are the Garden, each one of us is a Garden, Adam is in

here, the woman is in here, and the Serpent is in there. Why are youdoing what happened at the beginning of time? Why are you repeatingthe mistake of the woman? You are here in this incarnation to rectifythe sin of the woman, and every time the Serpent whispers to you andyou speak her words, you have, and I am not condemning you, pleaseI am not, I am just telling you the truth, every time the Serpentwhispers in your mind and you do what she tells you, you think whatshe tells you to think or you speak what she tells you to speak, youhave failed to rectify the sin of the woman, and that is what you aredoing here, that is what your purpose is. You are here to rectify the sinof the woman and you are repeating it, there is nothing new under thesun, you are repeating it over and over again. Wake up, brethren,wake up church, wake up and stop agreeing with the Serpent, becauseall you are doing is shooting yourself in the foot, and aside from that,there is a higher conscience here, if you want to look at this from alevel of Chayyah, there is a much higher level of conscience than youshooting yourself in the foot, and you failing to accomplish yourpurpose for being in this incarnation, you have a higher purpose.Everybody that is studying at this level, you are called to be thesaviors that come forth from Mount Zion.

There are thousands of people waiting to be helped by you.Now I am not here to put a guilt trip on you, I am trying to get you upon your feet, let us get going, let us rectify, let us rectify the error thatwas made in the Garden that has brought disaster and pain andtorment and trouble upon trillions of people. You know it was broughtto my attention yesterday that in the Philippines it is very commonthat young girls are taken at twelve years old and put in brothels, theirparents sell them. There are terrible things that go on in this worldbrethren, terrible, terrible things, and all I could do, my heart breakswhen I hear something like that, that is horrible for me, and I ask theLord, what if anything can we do at this stage and there was noanswer. We have to stand up, and we have to acquire a mind that is sostrong that we could put a stop to that, right from this very room.

We have tremendous opportunity to reverse the error that wasmade in the Garden, we have a tremendous opportunity, I do not

74

believe that the Lord will condemn anyone who does not attain, I donot condemn anyone who does not attain, but would you not ratherattain? There are terrible evils in this world brethren, and most peopledo not think about them because who could bear it? It would bewrong for me to walk around upset everyday about the twelve yearold girls that are put in brothels, that would hinder me from doingwhat I am suppose to be doing here.
