Part 13 · Chapter 95

The Ari's Text

But the Mocha, which is beneath the skull, and which is internal, standing within it, does not reveal its corrections in the place of the skull — that is, the head and the face, the aspect of that which surrounds and encompasses the inner Mocha. Rather, it brings out its powers below the place of the skull, in the secret of hairs that emerge from it outward, within the corrections of the beard, as was said. For each of these two is divided into ten internal Sefirot and ten encompassing Sefirot — see their existence there — except that they are also divided into the aspect of thirteen corrections, for the ten Sefirot themselves are divided into thirteen for the aforementioned reason.

This commentary hasn't been matched to individual seifim yet — items are shown in reading order, and the number beside each one counts the notes themselves, not the seifim of the Ari's text.

1They are divided into the discernment of thirteen corrections, for the ten Sefirot themselves are divided into thirteen for the aforementioned reason: That is, as above in the adjacent item: that out of the division of Bina into GAR [first three] and HGT, three new Sefirot are added, and this addition necessarily occurs also at the time of Katnut [smallness/infancy]. And therefore the ten Sefirot of Galgalta are divided into thirteen: for it has ten Sefirot from the three vessels, which are HBD HGT NHY, and the Atara of Yesod completes it to ten. And it has also three other corrections, which are Daat and the two holy apples. Meaning, when Bina is divided into GAR and ZAT, and the LM [Lamed-Mem] of Tzelem [image] is revealed in it, then the Daat of Radla [the unknown head] is revealed in it, in that air that is between Keter and Mocha Stimaa [the concealed brain]; and the two apples turn away from the hairs, and Hochma is revealed in them, in the secret of “the wisdom of a man illuminates his face.”
