The Ari's Text

Afterwards, in the Gadlut, the inner aspect entered, which is the KHB in nine Sefirot, and they were clothed little by little within the nine Sefirot of the middle aspect, which are only the ChGT NHY of the middle aspect. And now this middle aspect grew in the aspect of the nine Sefirot of its KHB; for since the inner aspect entered, which is all of it the aspect of KHB, as mentioned, therefore the KHB that are in the middle aspect also grew and were revealed.

Not matched to a seif

1In Gadlut, the discernment of internality entered within it, and so on; therefore the HBD that is in the middle discernment also grew: This is likewise through inclusion and clothing within it, for after the upper third of each Sefira entered and attained the discernment of Rosh, meaning through a new level of phase two, behold it is a complete Partzuf in itself, in which all nine Sefirot are in it in the completeness of Rosh, Toch, Sof [end]. And it clothes within the Partzuf of nursing. And it is further regarded that through the clothing of this Partzuf of Gadlut within the two first Partzufim of the Ibur and nursing, they received from it the discernment of the upper third that had been lacking until now to each one of their nine Sefirot. And the three Sefirot in the right line were completed with three thirds for each one. And likewise in the left line, and likewise in the middle line. And so likewise in the three lines of the Partzuf of the Ibur.
And behold, the ARI does not count here the first Gadlut of the Mochin of VAK, as above (page 1205, item 203). And the reason is that the Mochin of VAK are included in the Partzuf of nursing, because there is no discernment of a coupling of Rosh within them, and then even the GAR is regarded as the discernment of Hassadim and the light of Ruach, as above at length.
And behold, now, after the coming of the Partzuf of Gadlut, it has three Partzufim clothed one within the other, and each one begins from the chest and below of the one above it: for the Partzuf of the Ibur begins from the chest and below of the Partzuf of nursing, and the Partzuf of nursing begins from the chest and below of the Partzuf of Gadlut. And the reason for the matter is as written concerning the general Partzufim, for there is no difference at all between the particular and the general.
