Part 12 · Chapter 40

The Ari's Text

And from the parts that are for ZON, in them the ZON of Atzilut were made; and then all that remains is called dross relative to the world of Atzilut. And all these aspects go out in the secret of the blood of birth. However, there is still holiness in them, which is the aspect of the worlds of BYA; therefore they return and are clarified in the secret of Ibur within the Nukva of ZA, and from the choicest of it is made the AA of the world of Beria; and all the rest goes out from the Nukva of ZA in the secret of the blood of birth, and is called dross relative to Arich of Beria. And likewise in this manner, until the completion of the world of Assiya.

1Dross relative to the world of Atzilut, and all these phases go out in the secret of the blood of birth: For they were not corrected in Atzilut, except from the phase of the faces of the ZAT of Nekudim; but from the phase of their posterior they could not be corrected in Atzilut, as above in Part 11. And since the entire phase of Atzilut within them was sorted, the remainders are reckoned as waste that is no longer of any use, relative to Atzilut, and therefore they go out in the secret of the blood of birth. However, relative to BYA, they are not reckoned as complete waste, for there is still found in them phases of holiness to be sorted, needed for the Partzufim of BYA, as is written before us.
