Teil 6 · Kapitel 37

*He wrote, “Come and see the very beginning of faith,” etc., “trampled the black spark,” which is the root of the judgement “concealed in the intestine of Ima,” as mentioned in Idra Zuta [part of The Zohar], “and threw sparks in 320 directions.” Since these kings are judgements and strong Gevurot, they are called sparks of fire that emerged from the candle of darkness. They numbered 320 sparks, each spark separated from the other, and they each turned their own way. They were thrown until they descended below the world of Atzilut, and while they were there, they sorted out the waste from within the thought. Since they are hard judgements, the waste of the shell was mixed with them, and when they were thrown down, they were sorted and corrected. The good and the holy among them were corrected once more by the eighth king, called Hadar [splendor], they rose up, and the waste in them became the shells and remained below.
