The Ari's Text

And in the world of Yetzirah, the light of Ima of holiness was darkened as well, and only the light of ZA remained there. And this is the secret of 'six Sefirot nest in Metatron,' and the three highest which are in Yetzirah are, as it were, covered in darkness and do not illuminate. And opposite this, a third correction was added in the Klipa of Yetzirah, also in its AA, and light was drawn to it from the AA of Yetzirah of holiness.

Not matched to a seif

1In Yetzira the light of Ima of holiness was darkened as well, and only the light of ZA alone remained there etc. And opposite this, a third correction was added in the shell of Yetzira, also in the AA which is there. For Yetzira, at the time it was in Atzilut, served there with the screen of phase three for the Mochin of AB, which are the level of GAR of AA; and after the sin, when it fell below the Parsa, it is fit to receive only the level of ZA, VAK without a Rosh [head], and all these sparks that it had from the discernment of AA, that is, the level of AB, fell to Yetzira of the shells, and from them AA of the shells was also built.
