The third is lesser than both, and it is all the remaining souls, which are all the lights of the nine lower, separate phases in every Sefira of the ten Sefirot, in every Partzuf of the ten Partzufim mentioned above. Over these the Klipot ruled through the sin of Adam HaRishon, and they fell from him into the depths of the Klipot, and their correction will not be completed until Mashiach Ben David comes, as mentioned above. And when all of them are completed to come into the world and be corrected, then Mashiach Ben David comes.

1The lights of the nine lower, separate discernments in every Sefira of the ten Sefirot in every Partzuf which the Partzufim etc. and they dropped from him and fell into the depths of the shells. The intention is not upon the lights NRNHY [Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida] themselves, which were clothed in these nine lower ones of each Partzuf of the soul of Adam, for with the lights nothing applies except expansion and departure, and there is no descent to the shells whatsoever. For indeed, even in the breaking of the vessels of the seven kings that died, whose breaking was harsher than the sin of the Tree of Knowledge — for there the front and back of all the ZAT broke, whereas here all the anterior vessels remained in their wholeness, both in ZON of Atzilut and in all the Partzufim of BYA and in the soul of Adam HaRishon; for all these Ketarim that remained in Adam HaRishon are so by reason of their being anterior vessels, as above — and with this the ARI says there explicitly that only the sparks and the vessels fell into the shells, and not the lights, whatsoever. See Etz Chaim (Gate 18, Chapter 1); all the more so here, in the Tree of Knowledge.
Rather, the “lights” that the ARI writes here mean sparks, for it is the ARI’s way to call the sparks, at times, by the name lights. And this is the rule: every light of the NRNHY is drawn from Ein Sof, and therefore nothing applies to it except expansion and departure alone; and all these changes mentioned in it are only because of its clothing in the vessels that come through couplings that raise reflected light, and through it the vessels that broke from the seven kings that died are also sorted, which are ascribed to the clothing of those lights. And because there is no light without a vessel, it follows that the lower one receives from the light of Ein Sof only according to the measure of the vessel, and from here come the values of the names NRNHY in the light, although in the light itself there is no change at all from the top of the line to the end of the Malchut of Assiya. However, the sin causes the posterior vessels that were sorted out of the shells to be spoiled, as written above at length, so that the upper light immediately departs from them; and these records that remain of the light within the vessels, which are called sparks, are what are called souls that dropped from Adam HaRishon and fell into the shells, for they fall together with the spoiled vessels into the shells. And of them the ARI says that they fell into the depths of the shells, that is, only the sparks of souls with the vessels of the nine lower ones; but the lights of the nine lower ones, which are Yechida, Haya, Neshama, and Ruach, departed to their root. And according to the sortings, through the good deeds of the lower ones, they raise and sort those sparks of souls from the shells, and the light of Ein Sof, called NRNHY, again clothes in them. Understand these matters well.
And these three discernments that the ARI writes here apply in each and every particular Sefira of the ten Partzufim of BYA mentioned above, for these Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida that departed from the Sefira are called Zihara Ila’a, and that is the first discernment. And the light of Nefesh, together with the vessel of Keter in that Sefira that remained in it, is the second discernment. And the nine lower Sefirot in that Sefira — that is, the vessels HB TM in it, together with the sparks that remain in those vessels — they dropped and fell into the depths of the shells, and that is the third discernment.
