Part 12 · Chapter 163

*There is yet a third distinction in the matter of the four Shemas, and it is that behold, we explained in the matter of the Shema of Yotzer that ZA has Mochin of Katnut (smallness) and of Gadlut (greatness), and in the aspect of the Mochin of Katnut there are inner Mochin and encircling ones, and likewise in the aspect of the Mochin of Gadlut. And there we said that in every recitation of the Shema of these four, there enter into Zeir Anpin the six extremities of the inner Mochin of Gadlut from the side of Ima. And it is impossible for these to enter until all that is below their level enters, namely all the Mochin of the inner Katnut and the encircling ones from the side of Aba and from the side of Ima; and afterwards the inner VAK from the side of Ima enter.
