Part 6 · Chapter 45

The Ari's Text

This is the meaning of what is written in the Tikkunim [in The Zohar], Ani Yeshena [I am asleep], corresponding to the last Hey, since in revoking the light of Nekudim, Ani Yeshena means shena [sleep], and also, Ani Yeshena has the letters of Shniya [second], since Hochma is the first Hey, and is second to Keter. It is known that tastes are Keter, dots [Nekudot] are Hochma, tags are Bina, and letters are the lower seven. It follows that the Ayin is the phase of Hochma, which are the dots, which is why the sages of the congregation were called “the eyes of the congregation,” as it is written, “And if from the eyes of the congregation.”

1“I sleep” opposite the last Hey. In the annulment of Ohr Nekudim, “I sleep”. The breaking of the vessels was primarily in the Behinat last Hey, and that’s where the sleeping comes to her. That is why sleep is implied in the last Hey.
2Hochma is the First Hey… … Nekudot are Hochma. It is written above (Ohr Pnimi item 44) that the Orot that rose to MAN from NHY de AK contain all the Nekudot de SAG, which are from Hochma down, with the ZON de AK. It is known that the Partzuf is named after its highest Sefira, hence the Nekudot are called Hochma.
