Teil 5 · Kapitel 20

Now there is another expansion and departure, as will be explained, and then the four phases will be completed. The thing is that when this phase of the vessel was completed and became a vessel by the departure of the light, when the light expands in it once more, there will remain lights and vessels. However, when the light expands in this vessel for the second time, it does not expand in the first order, but appears and disappears. This is the meaning of what is written in The Zohar, “Matei and not Matei” [expanding and not expanding]. These two phases are called expansion and departure, by which the four phases will be completed.
