The Ari's Text

AI translated
  1. Also these four corrections, which stand between the two Mazalot, Tikkun 8 and Tikkun 13, they join and are included in the head of AVI, which is the throat, and become Mochin there. And on account of that bounty that then multiplies through their power, the body of AVI and the NHY in them are lengthened. For that third part of the Tifferet of AA, which remained of the two parts of the Tifferet that became the two Daat for AVI, from it is made the part of the body for Aba, including HGT, and the part of the body for Ima, including HGT; and this is the secret of the body. And from the abundance of the bounty, three more were made: NHY for Aba, and NHY for Ima.

  1. 1The third part of the Tifferet of AA, which remained of the two parts of the Tifferet that became the two Daat for AVI, from it is made the part of the Guf [body] for Aba, etc., and from the abundance of the bounty, three others were made, NHY, etc. The matter of the growth of the vessels of the VAK of AVI, which come from AB, together with the new NHY that they attain through the Mochin of AB, is entirely similar to the growth of the vessels of ZA together with the new NHY that come to him with the Mochin of Gadlut [greatness/adulthood], as the ARI writes above on page 1192, item 188. And these are his words: “His HGT become HBD for him, and NHY become HGT for him; and this is through the drawing of the abundance of AVI, and this is the secret of the expansion of the two crowns,” etc. And see further there, in item 190, and these are his words: “It is completed into complete ten Sefirot in this manner: the right line is Hesed and Netzah, and in them are six joints; and then the two upper joints of the Hesed join with the upper joint of the Netzah of Ima, and Hochma is made of three joints,” etc. Study it there well. And in exactly this manner is the growth of the vessels of the ten Sefirot of the AB of AVI, save that here they are aided by the NHY of AA itself, after AA has joined to the discernment of Atik.
    And behold, AVI previously had the HGT NHY of AA, since they clothe its HGT, and NHY too are included in them. And therefore the Hesed and Netzah of AA divide into six joints: the two upper joints that are in the Hesed become the Hochma of Aba; and the lower third of the Hesed, together with the upper third of the Netzah, becomes the Hesed of Aba; and the two thirds that remain of the Netzah become the Netzah of Aba. And likewise the Gevura and the Hod that are in the left line divide into six joints: the two upper joints of the Gevura become the Hochma of Ima; and the lower third that remained of the Gevura, together with the upper third of the Hod, becomes the Gevura of Ima; and the two thirds that remained of the Hod became the Hod of Ima. And likewise in the middle line, where they previously had only the upper third of the Tifferet, which is reckoned as their Tifferet — it is now found that the upper two thirds of that upper third of the Tifferet rose and became the Daat of AVI, and the lower third of the upper third of the Tifferet of AA remained; and this third that remained joins with the whole remaining half of the Tifferet and becomes the Guf of AVI, that is, their whole discernment of Tifferet. And the two thirds of the Yesod of AA became their Yesodot. And the upper thirds that are still lacking to every one of their vessels come to them from the abundance that they receive from their upper one, that is, from the level of the coupling of AA. However, these NHY that are added to AVI — the intention is not literally to the NHY of AA, for those they do not take, since they are not of their own discernment, but rather the intention is to the NHY that are included in the HGT of AA, as is known.
    And this is what he says, “that third part which remained of the two parts of the Tifferet that became the two Daat for AVI, from it were made the part of the Guf for Aba, which includes HGT, and the part of the Guf for Ima, which includes HGT” — that is, as explained: that the part of the upper third of the Tifferet which AVI had clothed before that, this itself divided into three thirds, of which the upper two thirds rose and became Daat in the Rosh [head] of AA, which is now AVI; and they rose together with the upper two thirds of the Hesed of AA and the upper two thirds of the Gevura of AA, which became there the two Hochmot of AVI, for both of them attain there the level of Hochma. And these lower thirds that remained of HG and of the upper third of the Tifferet are added to the NHY that are included in the HGT, and each one becomes two thirds; and with the abundance of the bounty they become the HGT NHY of each one in three complete thirds — all as the ARI writes with regard to ZA. And here the ARI did not trouble to elaborate the matter in its particulars.
