Part 5 · Chapter 34

We will explain below that all nine lower lights enter the vessel of Keter together. Afterwards, only the light of Hochma remains inside it, while the other eight lights descend and enter the vessel of Bina, and so on similarly with all of them. However, that does not add or subtract. We have a great rule in our hands: The upper one is greater than everything below it. Hence, even when the nine lights enter the vessel of Keter together, all the eight lower ones are of no consequence compared to the light of Hochma that is higher than all of them and emanated them. It has already been explained that the light of Hochma can tolerate the vessel of Keter since it is a higher phase, much less tolerate the rest of the eight lights below it, and likewise in the rest of the vessels. Because the light that is designated to that vessel does not enter it, but only a small light in its place, they can tolerate the lights and will not be canceled as in the beginning.
