Part 14 · Chapter 207

The Ari's Text

And the matter is as was said of Arich Anpin: after his entire Partzuf was corrected, his head was corrected more, in fullness, in the secret of the seven Tikunim of the skull, in which the ZAT of Atik were clothed and shone. So too in ZA, after the correction, the seven Tikunim of the skull need to be corrected, from the aspect of Atik. And it is known that Atik does not spread except in the clothing of Arich Anpin; so the seven Tikunim of the skull of Arich Anpin, in which are concealed the ZAT of Atik, will shine within the seven of the skull of ZA, and the seven of the skull in ZA will be completed as well.

1The seven corrections of the Galgalta of AA, within which are the ZAT of Atik, will shine within the seven of the Galgalta of ZA. The explanation: it was explained above in Part 13 that the seven corrections of the Galgalta of AA — which are the Galgalta, Tal deVedolcha, the membrane of the air, Raava DeMitzcha, pure wool, the opening of the eyes and the Hotem [nose] — come about through the clothing of the three heads of AA upon the ZAT of Atik; for then the Hesed of Atik clothes in the Galgalta, and the Gevura of Atik in Mocha Stimaa, and the Tifferet of Atik in the membrane of the air, etc. And through these illuminations the GAR of AA were corrected. See there. And it has already been explained in the adjacent item that there is no complete wholeness for ZA except in his ascent to the GAR of AA, that is, at the time of the Mincha prayer of Shabbat. See there. And so then he receives from the ZAT of Atik, upon which the GAR of AA clothe; and that illumination of the seven corrections of the Galgalta which AA receives from the ZAT of Atik, ZA now receives. And it was explained above that this comes about by twenty years, that is, in the course of the seven years after the thirteen. And this is because he must receive the ZAT of Atik, which is the secret of the seven years. Know that everything received from the Peh [mouth] of Atik is regarded as the discernment of the ZAT of Atik.
