Tikunim Chadashim - Tikun 43

"And for all the mighty hand and for all the great awe which Moshe did before the eyes of all Israel." [Devarim 34:12]

I. Five Left and Five Right Utterances; The Tablets of Stone

"The mighty hand" — these are the five utterances [Dibros] of the left. "The great awe" — these are the five utterances of the right. The mystery: ה׳ה ה׳ה — "written from this side and from that side" [Shemos 32:15]. Vav-Vav — this is the measure of the tablets: six handbreadths — in the mystery: the stone tablets from the side of the Name ב׳ן יו׳ד ק׳ק ו׳ו ק׳ק. Yud — this is the ink: black fire upon white fire. Black fire — this is Keter — which is dark relative to the Cause of all causes. Furthermore — black fire: Keter — and this is Kamatz. White fire: Chochma — and this is Patach. Furthermore — the letters are called from within a book — and this is the Shechina — who is the book — and this is the Sefer Torah.

II. Metatron Speaks — Before the Sun His Name Was; Fish of the Sea; MaBY Saved

Then the great Prince Metatron came and opened, saying: Rebbe Rebbe — it is written: "before the sun his name was Yinon" [Tehillim 72:17]. Here is a supernal mystery. Come and see — five lights and corresponding to them five darknesses — this is the right hand and the left hand. Then: "and you raised My horn like a wild ox" [Tehillim 92:11]. From then onward: "let there be light — and there was light" [Bereishis 1:3]. At that time: "sing to Hashem a new song — for He has done wonders" [Tehillim 98:1] — this is the light of Chochma-Chesed in the twenty-two letters — of which it is said: "in you shall Israel bless — may G-d make you as Ephraim and Menashe" [Bereishis 48:20]. But wonders — fifty wonders. And the mystery: Yinon — his name — these are the fish of the sea — over whom the Evil Eye has no dominion — and the mystery is the Open Eye [Ayin Pekicha]. For where this Eye gazes — the Evil Eye does not rest there. At that time: "His right hand has saved him — and His holy arm" [Tehillim 98:1] — this is MaBD and MaBY. For at the time they join together — the right rules — and MaBY is saved from death. The mystery: the fish of the sea. For below those tears appear. When? — At the time the heart is saddened. The mystery: "and He was grieved in His heart" [Bereishis 6:6] — for words reach the heart. What is "was grieved"? — Because of the sadness of Adam. And at the time this heart is saddened — fire ignites there and ascends to the eyes. Then the eyes are aflame and tears spill outward — and these are bitter waters. But above — there are supernal sweet and pleasant waters that flow from Chochma-Chesed. In them it is written: "washed with milk, set by the fullness" [Shir HaShirim 5:12]. The mystery of the fish of the sea. And of Yosef it is said: "a charming son — charming to the eye" [Bereishis 49:22] — and this is MaBY — to be saved from death through the light of that supernal Eye.

If you ask — what is "before the sun"? — This is Moshe — of whom it is said: "the face of Moshe is like the face of the sun" [Bava Basra 75a]. The mystery: "male and female He created them — and He called their name Adam on the day of their creation" [Bereishis 5:2]. The mystery — the straight Nun — male and female from the side of Abba-Imma — to exist in one Yichud forever. And this is the Tikun that will be established in the time of Mashiach the King. But afterward: "for from man was she taken" [ibid. 2:23]. Then it is said of Her: "the bride of Moshe" [Bamidbar 7:1] — who comes at times. And in Her: "take for Me a donation" [Shemos 25:2] — to return Her to Her husband — of whom it is said: "the owner of the lost object searches for his lost object" [Kiddushin 2b]. Therefore: "before the sun his name was Yinon" — for the Tikun of Mashiach was prepared from the very beginning. And all through the mystery of the Nun — fifty wonders.

At that time: "may Hashem answer you in the day of trouble — to save MaBY from death. May He send your help from the sanctuary" — this is the Shechina that ascends to bring him life from above from the side of the supernal Life — and the mystery is kodesh. And all is drawn according to the Tikun — according to the levels. Therefore: "and from Zion may He support you" — this is the Tzaddik — MaBY. Then: "may He remember all your meal-offerings" — to establish the Nukvah in the masculine — and through this he will be saved. "And your burnt offering" — this is the Shechina who ascends from exile. "May He make it fat" — with the light of the right. Then: "we will sing for joy in Your salvation" — in complete joy and not in weeping. Because of this: "now I know that Hashem saves His anointed." And at Matan Torah — the tablets of stone [Shemos 24:12] — ה׳ה — right and left together. And in the time to come: "the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone" [Tehillim 118:22–23] — Ban truly — right and left together. Then: "this is from Hashem — it is wondrous in our eyes" — because of the fifty wonders — for there She ascended and brought life below as stated.

III. Avraham Speaks — Final Teaching [Tikun Continues]

Then Avraham the pious elder came and opened, saying: Rebbe Rebbe — the mighty hand — [the Tikun continues with deeper mysteries of the fifty wonders, the straight Nun, and the final perfection of MaBY and MaBD in the complete Tikun of all worlds — as Avraham unfolds this mystery to the Ramchal here at the end of Tikun 43].
