Part 11 · Chapter 5

The Ari's Text

And this is the matter: it was explained above that all the blemish, the breaking, and the death that occurred to these kings was for the cause of the separation among them, since they came out one above the other, not in the manner of lines. And above, in the matter of the correction of Atik, the explanation of the manner of lines and what it means was explained — see there, in the discourse on the doubts that there are in RADLA [Reisha de-Lo Ityada, the unknowable head]. And then there was a private domain in the secret of separation. We find that the phase of the correction is in order to connect them, until they are in the phase of lines, illuminating one in the other, and thereby they will have correction. And understand very deeply the matter of lines — what they are — and how this is the principal correction, and remember this, for you will need it in many places.
