*Now we shall explain what is the existence of the beard of Arich Anpin. It is known that Arich Anpin clothes the Atik, as above. And we have already explained that Arich Anpin has a skull, and it is the secret of the Keter of Arich Anpin; and in it there is one brain alone, which is not divided into three brains as in Zeir Anpin, but one alone. And this brain is the secret of the Hochma of Arich Anpin, and it is called the hidden Mocha (Mocha Stimaa).

1 The brain alone, which is not divided into three brains, but one alone; and this brain is the secret of the Hochma of Arich Anpin, and is called Mocha Stimaa [the concealed brain]: This is no contradiction to what was said above, that there are three brains, HBD, in the Mocha Stimaa. For these three brains of HBD that are in the Mocha Stimaa are from the discernment of the three heads that are included one within the other, as the ARI wrote above (item 47), for therefore there are in each of them three Names of HaVaYaH, AB, SAG, MA, which are the root of the correction of MaLTz [Mem-Lamed-Tzadi] of Tzelem [image], as above at length; and the Mem of Tzelem is called the Name of HaVaYaH of AB and Hochma, and the Lamed of Tzelem is called the Name of HaVaYaH of SAG and Bina, and the Tzadi of Tzelem is called the Name of HaVaYaH of MA and Daat. And from this discernment, the Mocha Stimaa is regarded as included of three brains, HBD. And these three brains, HBD, are regarded as one below the other: Mem above; and after it Lamed, which is Bina; and after it Tzadi, which is Daat. In the manner explained above.
However, the division of the brains into HBD is the discernment of the coupling of Hochma and Bina, through the Daat that decides between them, and draws the illumination of Hochma outward, and the Daat receives the illumination of Hochma into its Hassadim, for then it expands from above downward and fills the chambers and halls of the body, as above. And concerning this discernment of HBD the ARI says, that the brain of Arich Anpin is not divided into three brains. And this is because this membrane [Kruma] that covers the Mocha Stimaa never separates from there at all — meaning that even at the time of the coupling and the illumination of the upper AB and SAG, which nullifies and breaches all the Parsas, it does not nullify and does not breach this membrane of the Mocha Stimaa, and the light of Hochma is not bestowed from it to the lower ones. And all the discernment of Hochma that is in Atzilut is from the discernment of the Hochma of AVI, in whom HB couple through the Daat that rises from below upward, and draws the illumination of Hochma to Bina. For this coupling does not occur in the Mocha Stimaa, which does not couple with its Bina to illuminate it with the illumination of Hochma, but rather it sent her outside of the Rosh [head]. As is known, that its membrane does not separate. As explained.
And at the time of the coupling, when the three heads of Arich Anpin are included in Radla [the unknown head], and become the Daat of Radla, as above, and the light of Hochma is revealed in the three heads to bestow upon the lower ones — behold, even then it was explained above, that this Daat illuminates only in the brain of the air, which is the secret of Lamed of Tzelem and the discernment of Bina, as above. But in Mem of Tzelem, which is Galgalta and the discernment of Mem, the light of Hochma is not revealed there, because it is corrected in the secret of Izka Dachya. And in this manner the Mocha Stimaa itself is also included of these HBD, which are among the three heads, and it is found that it too receives the discernment of Hochma only for the discernment of its own Bina, which is the discernment of SAG and the brain of the air included in it, as above. And from this discernment of Bina included in it, it bestows the illumination of Hochma to the thirteen corrections of the beard. But from the discernment of Hochma that is in it, which is the discernment of Mem of Tzelem that is in it, it bestows nothing, for from this discernment the Mocha Stimaa, too, is called Izka Dachya, as above in the words of the ARI. Thus the discernment of the Hochma of the Mocha Stimaa is never opened, not even at the time of the coupling. And this is what the ARI writes, that it is not divided into three brains, for the Hochma in it does not couple with Bina and does not bestow upon it. As explained.
And this is what he says (in item 189): “However, this variation exists in Arich Anpin more than in the other Partzufim, for in its Galgalta there are Keter and Hochma, but Bina and Daat are not in its Galgalta” — meaning, as explained, that the Hochma in the Mocha Stimaa is corrected in the discernment of Izka Dachya, and does not couple with the Bina, for its membrane does not separate as in AVI and ZON. And therefore the Bina went out entirely from the head, which is Hochma.
However, the Hochma of AVI illuminates in Atzilut, and its membrane separates. And this is because the Hochma of AVI is not literally the discernment of Hochma like the Rosh of Arich Anpin, but rather it is the Hochma received from the brain of the air, which is the discernment of the Bina of Hochma and not literally Hochma, for it is the discernment of the Name of HaVaYaH of AB. As above. And remember this.
