And because her first sparks were not corrected, they clung to her and took hold in her, in the secret of "a rose among thorns." And these thirty-two [sparks] that were not corrected are called "the heart of stone." And the secret of these three hundred and twenty sparks, together with the name Adonai, which totals sixty-five, all becomes Shechina, for everything is included in her.

1Her first sparks were not corrected, they clung to her and took hold in her, in the secret of “a rose among thorns”: One must not interpret “her first sparks” as the sparks that fell to Malchut’s portion at the time of Nekudim — for if so, what would make them “first,” since there are no later sparks after them that fall from her, as sparks fall only at the time of the breaking of the vessels, as is known. Rather, the intent is that of this discernment of Malchut, nothing remained except the discernment of her root of coarseness, called the Keter of Malchut; and even this remaining root did not remain in the discernment of her own form by herself, but only through inclusion in the Yesod of ZA, in the secret of the crown of Yesod — that is, in the secret of the point beneath the Yesod. Thus it is found that the nine first ones of her level vanish from her entirely, since coarseness from the discernment of root brings out nothing but the level of Malchut within it alone — that is, Malchut of Malchut — and all the nine first ones of Malchut vanish from her throughout the six thousand years, until the future to come, when she will be revealed from Radla [the unknown head], in the secret of “the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” And this is what the ARI says: that “her first sparks were not corrected” — that is, all the nine first ones of hers. And it will be explained in its place how she takes all these nine first ones that are lacking to her from the discernment of ZA.
This is what he says: “And because her first sparks were not corrected, they clung to her and took hold in her, in the secret of ‘a rose among thorns,’ etc.” — for all those sparks of hers that came out at the time of Nekudim in her nine first ones, all these lie among the shells in the secret of the heart of stone. And since they are parts and limbs of Malchut that dropped off from her, she sustains and maintains them in the secret of Nehiru Dakik [a faint illumination], by which she shines to them — for through this she is destined to gather them back to herself afterward, at the time of the end of correction. And since she sustains and maintains them out of this necessity, as above, they are therefore bonded to her and take hold in her, to the extent that they can receive their sustenance from her — and this is the secret of “and her feet go down to death.” However, through the sin of the lower ones, the shells receive the power to suck from Malchut far beyond the measure of their sustenance, and then she is called “a rose among thorns,” for the thorns rob from her the abundance she needs for her own sustenance, since they are bonded to her. This is called the exile of the Shechina. And all this is because the greater parts of Malchut have not yet been sorted out, and they lie within the mixture of the shells, as explained.
This is what he says: “And the secret of these 320 sparks, together with the name Adonai, which totals sixty-five, all becomes Shechina, for everything is included in her” — this teaches us that the completeness of the holy Shechina is not revealed until all 320 sparks are corrected in their fullness, since they are all parts of her building, including the very first parts as well, as explained.
