Part 12 · Chapter 112

The Ari's Text

*And now we shall explain the Tzadi of the Tzelem, which is made from the first NHY of the third Tevunah, which is the second. And behold, the lights, which are the Mochin of ZA, are clothed within them, and the garment is drawn after the spirituality and is secondary to it. Therefore everything is considered and attributed to the body of ZA and not to Tevunah. And the garment departs from its first nature, which was that of Tevunah, and becomes the very nature of ZA, and they return to be the actual body of ZA, and are called bone from his bone and flesh from his flesh, for the body conducts itself after the spirituality that is within them.

1The third Tevuna, which is the second: Meaning, the third belongs to the upper AVI, and the second is from the discernment of YESHSUT. For at the time of birth, AVI and YESHSUT again divide into two Partzufim, and YESHSUT themselves also divide into inner and outer: the inner YESHSUT are called the first YESHSUT, and the outer YESHSUT are called the second YESHSUT. And it is found that this second Tevuna is reckoned the third Tevuna to the upper Ima. As explained in the previous parts.
2The body conducts itself after the spirituality that is within them: For the lights are the essential thing in the Partzuf, and there is no revelation in a vessel except according to the discernment of the lights within it. Therefore, since there are in these NHY no lights of Tevuna at all, except the lights of ZA alone, they too are reckoned to the discernment of ZA, just like the lights.
