Now we will explain the matter of Adam ha Rishon when he was created, as our sages wrote in the Midrash and the Talmud, how we connect it to what we have explained. Our sages said that the Guf of Adam ha Rishon was created from Eretz Israel, his Agavot (buttocks) from Bavel and from Akra DeAgma (a city in Babylon). To explain that we must also explain what they said in the Tikkunim that Yetzira controlled Eretz Israel and Assiya controlled Hutz la Eretz, Ever ha Yarden, Suria etc. What all these discernments mean. We have explained that before Adam was created the Olamot were higher in degree.
