The 10 Non-Metals and Parameter 190
After the 5 halogens (199 electrons), the course presents the other 10 non-metallic elements: 190 electrons, linked to the letter י (10), which created the upper world.
According to the course, 190 = 19 × 10: a person who raises one measure through prayer receives 19 measures of abundance (Nahar Shalom).
5 + 10 = 15 (י-ה): 199 + 190 = 389 electrons, the “brain” of creation.
Of the 15 non-metals, after removing the 5 halogens, 10 elements remain: Boron B 5 · Carbon C 6 · Nitrogen N 7 · Oxygen O 8 · Silicon Si 14 · Phosphorus P 15 · Sulfur S 16 · Arsenic As 33 · Selenium Se 34 · Tellurium Te 52.
The 5 halogens (ה, 199 electrons) belong to the lower world; the other 10 (י, 190 electrons) to the upper world. Together: י-ה = 15 elements, 389 electrons.
“For with the two letters י-ה the Eternal created the worlds” (Isaiah 26). The Talmud (Menachot 29b) asks which letter created which world: the letter י created the upper world and the letter ה the lower world.
The course cites the Nahar Shalom (Hakazmat HaMaavir Havlei Sheina): the action performed by a person’s prayers carries a measure that he raises to the metaphysical level, and in exchange he receives from Above 19 measures of abundance.
In the details, each sphere contains 10: 19 × 10 = 190, which, according to the course, is exactly the number of electrons of the 10 non-metals of the letter י.
According to the course, the 10 non-metals correspond to the decimal system of the 10 spheres (sefirot): Keter (Crown), Chochmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), Chesed (Kindness), Gevurah (Strength), Tiferet (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Glory), Yesod (Foundation), Malchut (Kingship).
Everything in creation is articulated in 10, reflecting the 10 divine spheres.
According to the course: pray with intention (kavanah), this is the measure given; raise the prayer to the metaphysical level through concentration; receive 19 measures of abundance; in the details (10 levels per measure), 190 units of blessing.
The 10 levels of reception: spiritual abundance (Wisdom, Understanding), emotional (Kindness, Strength, Beauty), of action (Victory, Glory, Foundation), material (Kingship, manifestation).
5 halogens (ה, 199 electrons, Tzedakah, lower world) + 10 non-metals (י, 190 electrons, prayer, upper world) = 15 “brain” elements (י-ה, 389 electrons).
According to the course, this triple concordance (10 non-metals = 190 electrons; 1:19 × 10 = 190; י = 10) shows that the chemical structure of matter reflects the spiritual laws of divine recompense.
