SYNOPSIS:

Pasook 69. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Yitro

בְּשַׂעְרָא. הַאי מַאן דְּשַׂעֲרֵיהּ קָמִיט, וְסָלִיק לְעֵילָּא עַל רֵישֵׁיהּ, מָארֵיהּ דִּרְגִּיזוּ. לִבֵּיהּ קָמִיט כְּטוּפְסָא, לָאו כַּשְׁרָאן עוֹבָדוֹי. בְּשׁוּתָפוּ אִתְרְחַק מִנֵּיהּ.

Translation

One is recognized by the hair. All who have creased hair, MEANING CURLY HAIR, that is swept upwards, AND DOES NOT HANG DOWN FROM THE HEAD, IS OF an angry disposition. His heart is wrinkled like a rag, SIGNIFYING HIS HEART IS FULL OF FEAR. His actions are not good. In partnership, one must stay away from him.

chanoch's Commentary

This section deals with the personality meaning of "hair". This is a very useful tool to learn about yourself. These aspects of Face and Palm readings in the next number of Zohar sections are useful yet must be considered in view of Astrological information and other informational tools. Remember as a person ages these physical traits change. It is good to put together a personal matrix to help you relate these pasukim to yourself. Please do not try to use this to evaluate others except as it relates to partnerships. Also know that women change their hair styles more frequently than men and thus Face and Hand Reading tool needs to be adjusted for this physical truth. This first pasuk is clear as it is written. Also i recommend that one contemplate as to why the Zohar says what it says. For example In this pasuk why is curly hair that is swept back an example of anger?

Translation

If his hair is unusually smooth, and hangs low, then it is good to associate with him, for gain is found within him. IN OTHER WORDS, ONE BENEFITS FROM AN ASSOCIATION WITH HIM. However, when he is alone (THAT IS, WITHOUT A COMPANION) it is not so. THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITH HIM. He can keep secrets of great importance, yet, in secrets of minor importance, he is not reliable. His actions are SOMETIMES good, AND SOMETIMES not good.

chanoch's Commentary

These traits are clear with Rabbi Ashlag's comments.

Translation

If his hair hangs low and is not smooth, he has no fear in his heart. He is a malicious person. He desires good deeds, and thinks well of them, but he does not accomplish THEM. When he reaches old age, he returns to fear HASHEM, and his actions are proper. And these things pertain to the secular world, FOR THEN HE IS A MALICIOUS PERSON AND DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH GOOD DEEDS. But in esoteric matters, everyone benefits who associates with him. Do not reveal important secrets to him, but he will safeguard minor secrets. He can make big things from little things, and his words will be heard with respect. He is under the letter of Zayin, according to the letters taught by our master.

chanoch's Commentary

It is unclear what the meaning of being under the Letter Zayin. My guess is it relates to the idea that the consciousness of Zion is relating to this person.

Translation

If the hair is black and extremely shiny, he will succeed in all his actions, specifically in worldly matters THIS IS MALCHUT, CALLED 'WORLD' and in commerce, WHICH IS THE ABUNDANCE OF MALCHUT, ACCORDING TO THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "SHE IS LIKE THE MERCHANT SHIPS" (MISHLEI 31:5). He is benevolent, but he succeeds only when alone, WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATE. And whosoever joins him as an associate will not succeed for long, but will have only immediate success, and that success shall fly from him. This secret is included in the letter Zayin.

chanoch's Commentary

No comment is necessary since i have said every thing in the earlier pasukim.

Translation

If his hair is black and not shiny, at times he will be successful and at times he will not succeed. It is good to associate and work with him for a short time, but not for a lengthy time, for during lengthy times he tends to think. So in order not to be parted from him, he is good for a short time. Such a one succeeds in Torah studies if he perseveres after it. And others will likewise succeed by him. He can not keep secrets for a long time. He is mean-hearted. He shall see his enemies, and they shall not prevail against him. He is mean (Heb. tzar)-hearted, as in the esoteric principle of the letter Yud, which is small and narrow (Heb. tzar) and he is not included in the letter Zayin, AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, but the in letter Yud, in the secret of small letters.

chanoch's Commentary

One may find that the matrix they create will change as they learn more about the various letters that are being discussed in each pasuk.

Translation

If his hair is balding, he will succeed in business, but he is a swindler. There is a scarcity of food in his house. On the surface, it seems he fears sin, but it is not so within. And all this is so before he comes to old age. But if he becomes bald in his old age, he becomes the opposite of what he was before, for good or for bad.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is clear as written.

Translation

The stated words refer to hair balding on the forehead, between the eyes, at the place where the Tefilin are placed. However, at another spot on the head, it is not so. He is not a swindler, but an evil gossiper, one who gossips quietly without raising his voice. At times he is fears sin, and at times he does not. Thus, he is under the secret of the letter Zayin, when it includes the letter Yud.

chanoch's Commentary

This is interesting as it seems to contradict the previous pasuk. It actually does not contradict but explains further the earlier verse. Can you explain why Rabbi Ashlag split these two pasukim?

Translation

Until this point, the mysteries of the varied types of hair are for those who sit in judgment, know the ways and mysteries of the Torah, recognize what is hidden in human beings, and are in the image of Elohim, in whom this nomenclature, ELOHIM, is concealed which is explained in many ways.

chanoch's Commentary

Do you think that you have all of the Face and Hand Reading information as it relates to hair? You don't. There are other peoples commentaries that need to be added to your knowledge base and your matrix if you keep it. Over the years you will learn from various sources to relate to this wisdom. One hint i will leave you with - use the spelled out word for the letters mentioned in this section.
