Now there is no distance among any of the above lights and their vessels that is more than three degrees. This is because more than three degrees are a complete distance and it cannot shine in it. However, the rest of the lights descended from their place, as well, except for Tifferet, which remained in its place and did not descend. You find, that undoubtedly, though we have clarified that the descent of the other lights from their place was for the needs of the vessels, to shine for them, still, being below their place, their force was slightly weakened. For this reason, they do not have the strength to rise up. But the light Tifferet, which stood in its place and its taste did not change, and its power is strong. Hence, when it sees itself without a vessel, it can rise to the place that it came from because it has no wish to stay bare, disclosed without a garment, and will return to Bina, to the place where it first stood. If it does that, it will be very distant from its vessel and will die completely.

1The Ohr Tifferet that stood in its place, its taste did not change etc. By that he explains the Hitpashtut Kli de Keter up to the Chazeh. Also, he gave below the reason for the Hitpashtut of the Kli de Bina up to Gevura in order to give room for the reigning of Netzah and Hod. It is also the reason for the Hitpashtut Kli de Hesed in order to give a place for the reigning of Yesod. Thus, all these reasons are completely unnecessary according to the Rav’s words in several places (Tree of Life, Gate 9, Chap 84, and in Mavo She’arim, Gate 2, Part 2, Chap 6).He writes there, “When Tifferet died and the Ohr began to die and depart from the first third through the Chazeh, the general Hey Hassadim and Gevurot descended from the two Yesodot of the two Malchuyot of the Upper AVI. Their Achoraim completed their fall and the Achoraim of Upper AVI were found sitting here below in this manner, since the Achoraim of Abba sit on the right line, in the place that was Hesed de ZA, which is the second Melech.The Achoraim of Ima in the place where the third Melech, which is Gevura de ZA was. It is known that AVI were as Kavim because they were the Achoraim that fell thus far. This is the Behinat new Klithat AVI made, which expanded thus far, and then Hesed and Gevura rose there.That Hitpashtut is these Behinat Achoraim itself, which fell down through there etc. and Orot Hesedand Gevura clothed these two Achoraim as well as Orot Netzah and Hod. However, it is all above in the place of Hesed and Gevura, and understand that thoroughly.” Similarly, Kli de Keter was made of Behinat Achoraim de NHY of the Keter that were blemished and fell below.Accordingly, the matter of the Hitpashtut Kelim de KHB to HGT is one with the fall of the Achoraim de AVI and NHY de Keter, as the Rav says there. Hence there is no longer a question why three Kavim of KHB expanded and there is no matter and place for these reasons.Moreover, these reasons contradict the Rav’s words above. This is because according to the reasons that he wrote here about the Hitpashtut of the Kavim, to be in order to give room for the Melachim of NHYM, you find that Kav Bina expanded first to Kav Hochma because Netzah and Hod reigned before the Yesod.Hence, he says here that first Kav Bina expanded and then Hochma, but in fact they are Behinat Achoraim that fell from AVI and Keter. Thus, the Kav Hochma expanded prior to the Kav Bina, since the Achoraim de Hochma fell in the death of Kli de Hesed and Achoraim de Ima fell in the death of Kli de Gevura.It follows that first the Kav Hochma expanded to Hesed, and then the Kav Bina to Gevura. This is the opposite of what he wrote here, and perhaps both rumors are from the Rav. It is truer to say that these reasons are from Rav Chaim Vital himself and are not at all the Rav’s words.Besides the above, what also stems from the above reasons is that the Kelim de Melachim of Netzah and Hod fell between the Kelim of HGT as he will say below. This is hard to hear since NHY compared to HGT is like VAK compared to GAR, and how would Kli de VAK fall dwell in the middle of the Kelim de GAR, between Hesed and Gevura?It has been thoroughly clarified in the Rav’s words in Mavo She’arim, that at the very death of the upper third of Tifferet and the completion of the fall of all the Achoraim de AVI, they became three new Kelim, Hesed, Gevura, and Tifferet together. The four Orot from the four Melachim Daat, Hesed, Gevura, and Tifferet rose there together, and Reshimot de Daat and Tifferet clothed in the new Kli de Tifferet. Also, the Reshimo de Hesed in the new Kli de Hesed, and also the Reshimo de Gevura in Kli de Gevura.
