The Ari's Text

*And it follows that now, during the time of Yenika, Aba and Ima again couple in the aspect of their middle vessels, which are within them, together with the lights called Ruach, and they give birth to this aspect of Mochin for ZA, and they are the secret of the Ruach within him. And these Mochin are formed and created in the belly of the upper Ima in her middle vessels, and they are born and go out to the outside, and are clothed in Tevunah in her middle vessels, and become in the aspect of Tzelem, as mentioned in the matter of Ibur.
