Part 12 · Chapter 108

The Ari's Text

And then, at the time of birth, the blood returns to ascend, namely the square of the Eheyeh of Hehin that is in the GAT, above their place, as stated in this chapter, that the lights of her NHY ascend upward until opposite the chest; and then it is turned from blood, which is judgment, because the Eheyeh of Hehin is more of judgments, for being in Hehin and for being lower. And there above it is turned into mercy and becomes milk. And behold, it has been explained here how from the drop of redness in the female the blood is made in the offspring; for the blood becomes milk, and after the offspring sucks it, it is turned within him into blood again as at first, except that now it is refined and clear.

1And then, at the time of birth, the blood returns to ascend, etc., that the lights of her NHY ascend upward until opposite the chest, etc., and become milk: As stated above in the adjacent item, that at the time of birth, when phase one returns there, by reason of the ascent of the bottom Hey to the Einayim, and the GAR [first three] departed from Tevuna — it is found then that the lights of HGT rose to the vessels of HBD, and the lights of NHY rose to the vessels of HGT. See there. Thus the lights of NHY, which are the discernment of the posterior of the Eheyeh, numerically equal to blood, which is the discernment of judgment, now became, there, in the place of HGT, milk, which is the discernment of mercy.
