Part 13 · Chapter 41

The Ari's Text

And these three discernments, called Neshama, are three names of HaVaYaH, and each of them is in the filling of Yodin, for also this rule will be in your hand: every aspect of Neshama is HaVaYaH of Yodin. However, the difference among these three names of Yodin is in the matter of their vowels. And the matter is, that also this rule will be in your hand: in AA all its names are in the secret of fillings, and also in the secret of vowels, for all of them are filled and vocalized. But the difference among them is in the matter of the order of the vocalization, how it is.

1The difference among these three HaVaYaHs of Yodin is in the matter of their vowels: For the filling indicates the measure of the level of the degree, which depends on the aspect of the coarseness in the screen; and since all three discernments of Galgalta are the level of Hochma, which is AB and the aspect of the upper AVI, as above, it is necessarily so that all three HaVaYaHs are in the filling of Yodin without change. However, the vocalization indicates the source of the degree: whether it is its own aspect, or from its inclusion within the one above it, or from its inclusion from those below it — also the measure of that inclusion. And since its two lower discernments are not from the aspect of Galgalta itself, but from what it includes from those below it, therefore the difference is discerned in the manner of their vocalization.
