The Ari's Text

And we have no more power to raise the six last [Sefirot] of Assiya into the world of Atzilut at any time at all. And in the Gate of the Mitzvot, in the commandment of the seventh [year], the reason for the descent of the worlds is explained — that it was to sort out the clarifications (Birurim) of the kings that descended there. And see there.

1And we have no more power to raise again the six last ones of Assiya into the world of Atzilut at any time at all. And this is for the reason explained in the adjacent item: for the coupling Malchut of the first restriction was concealed in Radla [the unknown head], and there is no coupling upon her throughout the six thousand years; and even at the time of the lowering of the bottom Hey from the Nikvey Einayim to the Peh [mouth], it is only upon the discernment of the Yesod that is in the Peh, and not in Malchut. See there. And therefore the GAR [first three] of Haya and Yechida cannot be sorted, but only the discernment of VAK [six ends] in them alone, which is the discernment of their Neshama. And it is found, because of this, that only for the GAR of Assiya, which is the discernment of Rosh [head], do the Mochin of VAK suffice, so that it can ascend to Atzilut; but the six lower ones of Assiya cannot ascend to Atzilut except through the Mochin of the GAR of Haya-Yechida. And since they need the MAN [Mayin Nukvin] of the Nukva of the first restriction, which was concealed in Radla, therefore they could not be revealed except in the future. And after that Nukva is revealed, in the secret of the verse “the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” which is the secret of her revelation in Radla, called the cornerstone, then the sortings of the MAN of the Nukva will be completed, for all the holy sparks will rise from the fourteen Sefirot of the shells, and the latter will be nullified from the world, in the secret of “He will swallow up death forever,” which is the secret of the end of correction. And then the six lower ones of Assiya will be corrected and will return to being Atzilut. And this is the secret of Matei Raglin beRaglin [feet touching feet], for the feet of Atzilut will expand to the point of this world and will be completely equal to the level of AK.
