Inner Observation

  1. Chapter EightBegins to explain the order of the cascading of the ten Sefirot that emerge one below the other, called AA, AVI, and ZON, or Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA and BON that are emanated from one another through cause and effect, and contains three issues:1. The first ten Sefirot that emerged after the restriction are called Adam Kadmon. 2. Adam Kadmon is called the world of Keter because phase four operates in it for coupling by striking. 3. The coupling for every Partzuf is in its upper Partzuf.Explaining the reason for the cascading of the five Partzufim GASMB and their emergence from one another1. We shall now explain the order of the cascading of the Partzufim from one another, and how they are generated by one another by the necessity of cause and effect. To use fewer words and broader meaning, we shall refer to the five phases of the Rosh as: Galgalta, Eynaim, Ozen, Hotem, Peh, and the five phases of the Guf as: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut.We shall refer to the refinement of the screen as an ascent, because an ascent means refinement. When we want to say, for instance, that phase four was refined into phase three, we shall say that Malchut ascended to ZA. Make certain you do not forget that.

  2. Four fillings in the four letters HaVaYaH, which are ASMBWe shall refer to the names of the five Partzufim AA, Abba, Ima, ZA, Nukva as: Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA, BON, in accordance with the Gematria of the four fillings of the name HaVaYaH. We shall call Partzuf AA, which is the Keter, by the name Galgalta.Partzuf Abba, which is Hochma, also called AVI, shall be called AB, which is HaVaYaH filled with Yodin (pl. for Yod), like this: Yod (יוד), Hey (הי), Vav (ויו), Hey (הי), which amount to AB (72).Partzuf Ima, which is Bina, also called YESHSUT, shall be called SAG, which is HaVaYaH filled with Yodin, and with Aleph in the Vav, like that: Yod (יוד), Hey (הי), Vav (ואו), Hey (הי), which amount to SAG (63).Partzuf ZA shall be called MA, which is HaVaYaH filled with Alephin [pl. for Aleph] like that: Yod (יוד), He (הא), Vav (ואו), He (הא), which amount to MA (45). Partzuf Nukva, which is Malchut, shall be called BON, which is HaVaYaH, filled with Heyin [pl. for Hey] like that: Yod (יוד), Heh (הה), Vav (ואו), Heh (הה).The reason for these fillings and calculations has been explained in my book “Panim Meirot u Masbirot,” regarding the 288 sparks, and there is nothing to add here.

  3. The first ten Sefirot in the line of Ein Sof are called the world of Adam Kadmon. Its level reaches Keter. The coupling for each Partzuf should be in its upper oneYou already know that the first ten Sefirot that were emanated after the restriction are called Adam Kadmon. It contains five Partzufim, Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA, BON, each of which contains its own Rosh, Toch, Sof, as has been explained above. It is generally called the world of Keter, or the world of Adam Kadmon. The reason its entirety is called Keter has been explained in “Inner Light,” that it is because the screen of phase four, in its true measure, does not operate in any other world.You should know that the coupling by striking for the ten Sefirot of Rosh of each Partzuf must be in the Peh of Rosh of its upper Partzuf. It is as the ARI explained here (Part 3, item 12) regarding the four worlds ABYA, that the coupling for ten Sefirot of Atzilut was done in the world above Atzilut, namely AK, and that for Beria it was done in Atzilut etc.
