The Power To Build

And what about the Talmud, the Mishna? They maintain a third level of the Shechina, the old Shechina, upon which the first and second Zohar build. The Talmud only maintains, conserves, the old Shechina, which is the remnant of Churban. This is the Shechina that went with Israel into the Galut. Its students have no power to build anything, unlike the power granted to students of the first and second Zohar, that is, to those working in the line of Moshiach ben David and Moshiach ben Yosef. This is the background of the perplexing statement of the Ramchal.
