7. מִמֶּלֶךְ זָקֵן – זֶהוּ יֵצֶר הָרָע, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר, שֶׁהֲרֵי מִיּוֹם שֶׁהָיָה לֹא יָצָא מִטֻּמְאָתוֹ לְעוֹלָמִים. וְהוּא כְּסִיל, שֶׁכָּל דְּרָכָיו הֵם לְדֶרֶךְ רָעָה, וְהוֹלֵךְ וּמְסַטֶּה אֶת בְּנֵי הָאָדָם וְלֹא יוֹדֵעַ לְהִזָּהֵר, וְהוּא בָּא עִם אָדָם בַּעֲלִילוֹת כְּדֵי לְהַסְטוֹתָם מִדֶּרֶךְ טוֹבָה לְדֶרֶךְ רָעָה.
\n8. בֹּא רְאֵה, עַל זֶה מַקְדִּים עִם אָדָם בַּיּוֹם שֶׁנּוֹלָד, כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּאֲמִין לוֹ, שֶׁהֲרֵי כְּשֶׁבָּא יֵצֶר הַטּוֹב, לֹא יָכוֹל הָאָדָם לְהַאֲמִין לוֹ, וְדוֹמֶה עָלָיו כְּמַעֲמָסָה. כְּמוֹ זֶה שָׁנִינוּ, מִי הוּא רָשָׁע עָרוּם? זֶהוּ מִי שֶׁמַּקְדִּים לִטְעֹן דְּבָרָיו לִפְנֵי הַדַּיָּן טֶרֶם יָבֹא חֲבֵרוֹ בַּעַל הַדִּין, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (משלי יח) צַדִּיק הָרִאשׁוֹן בְּרִיבוֹ וְגוֹ’.
\n9. כְּמוֹ זֶה [הוּא נ”א הַזֶּה] רָשָׁע עָרוּם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (בראשית ג) וְהַנָּחָשׁ הָיָה עָרוּם, וְהוּא מַקְדִּים וְשׁוֹרֶה עִמּוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם בְּטֶרֶם יָבֹא חֲבֵרוֹ לִשְׁרוֹת עָלָיו. וּמִשּׁוּם שֶׁהוּא מַקְדִּים, וְהִנֵּה טוֹעֵן טַעֲנָתוֹ עִמּוֹ – כְּשֶׁבָּא חֲבֵרוֹ, שֶׁהוּא יֵצֶר הַטּוֹב, מֵרֵעַ אֶת הָאָדָם עִמּוֹ וְלֹא יָכוֹל לִזְקֹף רֹאשׁוֹ כְּאִלּוּ הִטְעִין עַל כְּתֵפוֹ כָּל הַמַּשָּׂאוֹת שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם בִּגְלַל אוֹתוֹ רָשָׁע עָרוּם שֶׁהִקְדִּים עִמּוֹ. וְעַל זֶה אָמַר שְׁלֹמֹה (קהלת ט) וְחָכְמַת הַמִּסְכֵּן בְּזוּיָה וּדְבָרָיו אֵינָם נִשְׁמָעִים, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהִנֵּה הִקְדִּים אַחֵר.<\/div>\n

Zohar Vayeshev<\/strong><\/p>\n

The negative side exists before man is born. Because of that it has the advantage and can put a heavy load on the man’s shoulders that can not raise his head. Man is already in trouble before his good side comes to assist.<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 9:16<\/a>
\n“וְחָכְמַת הַמִּסְכֵּן בְּזוּיָה, וּדְבָרָיו אֵינָם נִשְׁמָעִים”
\n“the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.”<\/p>\n

The Zohar explains this verse and tells us that the wisdom of the poor person is not heard because the evil side already took over.<\/p>\n

Lesson: We encounter difficulties each time we want to take the right course of actions because the negative side is already there. When we have a new plan, it would be better to have a proper planning and allow time to pass from the initial idea to the process of manifestation. Doing so lets the good side and the Light with it to come and support us.
\nThe other way to break the negative side that awaits at the beginnings is to be aware that this force is always there and start with actions of drawing light before anything else.<\/p>\n

There are blessings for almost every action that we do in this world. We usually make a blessing before eating food but there are blessings and meditations before we do each precept.
\nBlessing is a tool to push negativity away before we do the action. Even before we read the Zohar we have a special meditation that the Holy Ari created in order to protect the light revealed through the Zohar study.<\/p>\n
