And these three heads are the aspect of NRN in AA: the skull is the Neshama, the air is the Ruach, and the concealed Hochma is the Nefesh. And after these three heads are explained in general, we shall explain each one of them in detail, and it is as was said in the secret of the generality, that they are three discernments, and also each one of these three is included of these three discernments as well, and this is their detail.

1The three heads are the aspect of NRN in AA: for Galgalta is Neshama, the air is Ruach, and Mocha Stimaa [the concealed brain] is Nefesh: And further on the ARI says that Galgalta is AB, and the air is SAG, and Mocha Stimaa is MA, which are Haya, Neshama, Ruach — which at first glance contradicts what is said here, that they are NRN, meaning SAG, MA, BON.
And this has already been explained well above: that when the discussion is from the aspect of the vessels, there are only, in the ten Sefirot, Bina, ZA, and Malchut, which from the aspect of the correction of the lines are HBD, HGT, and NHY, and the vessels of Haya and Yechida are entirely lacking. And even at the utmost Gadlut that prevails until the end of correction, they could not attain those vessels of Keter and Hochma. However, when the discussion is from the aspect of the lights, they do attain also Yechida and Haya, except that these clothe in the vessel of Bina, within the light of Neshama. And then the vessel of Bina divides into GAR and ZAT, whose GAR are the aspect of the HaVaYaH of AB, and whose ZAT are the aspect of the HaVaYaH of SAG, and both of them are from the aspect of the vessels of Bina, which from the aspect of the correction of the lines are the vessels of HBD. And the vessels of ZA and Malchut, which from the aspect of the correction of the lines are HGT NHY, become the HaVaYaH of MA, as above at length, study it there well. And from this aspect he divides the three heads among the three HaVaYaHs, AB, SAG, MA. But from the first aspect of the vessels, they are only Bina, ZA, and Malchut, in which Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama clothe. And the distinction in this is that their aspect of AB, although they bestow the illumination of Hochma to SAG, as above, still they themselves remain in the aspect of the light of GAR of Bina, which is the aspect of Neshama, and they are regarded as AB because they are the ones bestowing the illumination of Hochma. Understand this well.
2Three discernments, and also each and every one of these three is included of these three discernments as well: This has already been explained above at length, how these three discernments — inner light, great surrounding, and small surrounding — are from the aspect of the original and rooted nine Sefirot, and they apply to every single discernment, and therefore every head must have these three discernments within it in its particularity. See above (page 1310, the passage beginning “And the matter”).
