Part 8 · Chapter 93

The second phase, which is lesser than it, remained in Adam HaRishon even after he sinned, and the shells did not rule over this one either. It is called the Challah of the world, as mentioned, and it is the phase of the light called Nefesh within the Ketarim of every Sefira of the ten Sefirot, in every single Partzuf of the ten Partzufim mentioned. These two phases, the first and the second, were not, before the sin, anything but a single phase — the Ketarim in their completeness — and after he sinned they divided into two phases.
