1The Olamot rose in the following manner: ZA rose to the place that is now the place of AA. ZA de Atzilut first came out only in Behinat VAK without GAR, considered its “permanence”, and the GAR that he later acquired is considered “inconsistent additions”. Similarly, BYA came out in the first Behina in the Behinat VAK in them, because Beria came out in the place of ZA de Atzilut, which is Behinat VAK.Also, Yetzira came out in the place of Nukva de ZA, clothing from the Chazeh down, when the Nukvahas only Behinat VAK without GAR. This is considered the “permanent” of BYA, had it not been for the sin that lowered them below Parsa.Now at the fifth hour on the eve of Shabbat Kedusha was added to them (see Ohr Pnimi item 77). BYA acquired Mochin of Behinat addition, meaning the GAR in them, because ZA rose to the place of AA and Nukva to the place of Abba, meaning Upper AVI, where Nukva procreated the Mochin for Olam Beria.Mochin de Beria were emanated from the Upper AVI since Nukva rose there, and everything that emanated from the Upper AVI is considered YESHSUT. Hence, Olam Beria was then made in the degree of YESHSUT de Atzilut and acquired her GAR.Similarly, Beria emanated Mochin for Olam Yetzira and through these Mochin the Yetzira became the degree of ZA de Atzilut. This is because everything that emerges and emanates from the degree of YESHSUT is considered the degree of ZA. Then Yetzira too acquired her Mochin de GAR.Similarly, Yetzira emanated Mochin to Olam Assiya. Because Yetzira is now in the degree of ZA, the Mochin de Assiya were made in the degree of Nukva de Atzilut clothing ZA from his Chazeh downward, Achor be Achor, since she is the next degree after ZA.You find that now the Assiya is in the state of Olam Yetzira in the first Behina, where GAR de Assiya clothe the Nukva de Atzilut and her bottom six remain under the Parsa clothing the First six of the current Olam Beria.This is so because Nukva de Atzilut herself in the place she rose, also clothes ZA only from the Chazeh down since ZA rose to the place of AA and Nukva did not rise there with him. Instead, she remained in AVI, clothing ZA from the Chazeh down as has been explained above in the first Behinain the bottom six of Yetzira.
