Part 11 · Chapter 91

The general rule that arises is that in all the three periods — pregnancy, nursing, and the second pregnancy — ZA has ten Sefirot and Mochin. Only the Mochin of the time of the pregnancy are very complete judgments, in the phase of Elokim; and the Mochin of the time of the nursing are judgments, but not as complete as the Mochin of the first pregnancy. Nevertheless, these two phases of Mochin are not called Mochin, for the externals still grasp and nurse from there, since they are names of Elokim. But in the second pregnancy of the Gadlut, then those Mochin are HaVaYaHs, and they are complete mercies, and the externals then departed from nursing from them. Therefore that phase is called the phase of Mochin in the true sense, principal ones.
