This general principle is called "Face to Face." The "Face" of the name BaN numerical value 52 is called the source in Arich Anpin, where the name MaH numerical value 45 resides. What emerges from this is that the "Back" and the "Zoon" the lower seven emanations of the vessels stood through the power of the body and the point of chapter 36. This is not the case for Atik, Arich, and the Father and Mother Abba and Imma, who are the aspect of male and female. All His life is one, without calculation and without partnership, etc.
Behold, it is known that the creation of the world was through the 42-letter name Shem MB alluded to in the word "In the beginning" Bereshit until the second letter of the word "and void" v'vohu. This 42 is the "male drop." However, the "female drop" is in the aspect of 42, as is known from the two drops that are the letters of the name Ehyeh I Will Be. In them are counted 84, which is twice 42. These are the powers of judgment Gevurot that were in Binah Understanding, the female. Regarding the union of the 18 of the female, it is explained on page 60 that 42 is hinted at in the secret of a specific divine name. The union of the eight of the foundation Yesod is in the secret of the page. This is the meaning of "In the beginning," and "as the image of the Covenant was known," etc. This means that the "Holy Opening" is the image of the Covenant. For the Yesod Foundation is the secret of the letter Vav numerical value 6, and these are the image of the Covenant. This Vav is the spinal cord that draws the drop from the brain in Da'at Knowledge to the Yesod. Since his intention is in the secret of the Supernal Union of the first three emanations, in the secret of the Mouth where the name is, and these are the three letters of the name. Then the drop spreads from the "Hidden Brain" of the Supernal Crown and descends through the spinal cord, which is the Vav. Then the four kindnesses Chasadim spread from Kindness to Glory. Afterward, they are included in the Foundation and become the letter Vav. It is found that first the drop was the letter Yod, and then it lengthened and became a Vav. This is what is written in the Tikunim page 46: the aspect of the drop connected to the "Middle Pillar" and thickened into the letter Vav. After the spreading of the five kindnesses in the female, they are the letter Yod. This is the secret of the 42-letter name. These are the simple names of mercy, which are 42. Every pillar is included in all the six directions, so every name is included in one hundred letters, etc. The last name is the aspect of the "Crown" Atarah which is the Malkhut Kingship of the Yesod. It enters the Yesod of Malkhut. Therefore, the last name is found in the Zohar related to the Malkhut. Also, the secret of the matter is that no drop descends from above without drops rising to meet it. These are the 42 unions, meaning they are doubled. This is the secret of "as the image of the Covenant was known." It is known that there is a 42 in the letters, and there is one in the Worlds of Creation Beriah and Formation Yetzirah. But in the World of Action Assiyah, there is no 42-letter name. Here is the matter: just as the male himself with the female in all aspects are the 42 doubled unions, and from the power of the females from the female, so too all the 42 windows become the aspect of the persona of Kindness. In the world of the female, there are 42 windows, which are the 42 letters of the simple, full, and double-filled name of the Tetragrammaton. Corresponding to it are another 42. The 42 of Creation is the name Ehyeh. This is the secret of the three drops of the female. They are the 42 doubled unions. These are the 42 of Creation and the image. The world corresponds to the male drop, which is the 42 of Atzilut. He also wrote on page 339 about the gate of births, that the 42 unions are the foundation of the Covenant of "In the Beginning." On page 15, he wrote that we have already explained the existence of the 42 that descends from the "Point" to the "Throat" in the union of the Upper Mouth of Arich Anpin to give birth to the lower seven emanations. No drop descends from above without drops rising to meet it. These are the secret of the "Rising Waters" Mayin Nukvin to the Throat. It is known that the throat becomes the Keter Crown for the lower seven. It is also known that in the throat resides Binah for the lower seven. It is necessary that there be three aspects. These are the names of the Tetragrammaton that indicate the relationship from Binah to the lower seven. This is the secret of the word Ahia a variation of the name Ehyeh. Everything that the Holy One, Blessed be He, did below was to make known the descent from the throat to the end, as explained in the Tikunim page 18.
This is the perfection of everything. This is the matter: it was their will that the male should have wisdom and the female should have her aspect. This is the secret of the womb in the middle of three names, to show that this throat becomes a womb for two. The name Malo Fullness is missing in the middle of the three. For the name Ahia is the letters of the "womb" rechem. It is known that the Kindness is the receiver and the male womb. But because they are drops from the throat, which is Binah, therefore both are called "Kindness" and both are called "Ahia." However, because now in the throat there are three aspects of Arich Anpin, therefore it is necessary that three drops should rise. From the hand, the name Yahu descended, which is one drop. From the throat, three drops rise. This is the secret of the nine months of pregnancy. When the fetus recognizes its stay in its mother's womb for nine months, the whole child with its existence becomes male and female. It is called by the name of the female. This is the secret of the "escaped Ahia." From all the existence of Zeir Anpin, it is now called by the name "Ahia" because it is in the womb of Binah. After it is born and emerges, its existence is recognized. It is called "Ahia" of the name MaH 45. To explain our matter: just as there were 42 in it, so it is necessary that these "Ahia" names be twice 42. This is the 42 unions mentioned in the section on "In the Beginning." The 42 unions mean they are doubled, twice 42 from two names of "Ahia." The second 42 of the throat are the secret of the thirty letters below. The throat has the numerical value of 84, which is twice 42. These rise as "Rising Waters" in the union through the "Covenant of the Tongue" that decides between them. All these afterward descend below to the Yesod of Arich Anpin. There he makes known the power of the Holy Covenant in the 42 unions that descend from the upper union of the palate and throat. This is from the words of Rabbi Isaac Luria Maharhu. See sign 115.
He wrote the order of the repair of the male. These are called the "clothing" of the soul. The middle one is the three higher emanations Chagat and the inner one is Kindness Chesed. It is found that in the lower Foundation Yesod of them all, it is divided. The outer part is the straight letter Tzadi of Malkhut. It spreads in the secret of the "back to back" union. For the outer part of Zeir Anpin stands with the females back to back. It has the power to give life to the external forces. Its spreading into the foundation in the middle part is the bent letter Tzadi. There it is in the aspect of "back to back." However, it does not spread to the external forces like the outer one. The external forces do not have their life from it, even though it is "back to back." The foundation in the innermost part is the letter Tet numerical value 9. This indicates the "face to face" union. It is called "How great is Your goodness which You have hidden for those who fear You" Psalm 31:20. For it is hidden, concealed, and the most internal of all. As it says in the Zohar on Genesis page 3, regarding the letter Tet, that it is "Your goodness" hidden within you.
With this you will understand the words of Hezekiah in the section "Vayetze" page 155: "The Righteous Tzaddik emerges from the lower world and enters." The secret is that first the female influences the "Rising Waters" Mayin Nukvin during the union. This is in the secret of "Returning Light" Ohr Chozer in the secret of the foundation of Kindness. Therefore, he began by saying the Righteous emerges from the lower world, in the secret of Returning Light. Afterward, he "enters" in the secret of "Direct Light" Ohr Yashar. This is the drop with its essence in the world of the female. The "upper world" is the foundation of Arich Anpin. Its division is under the Kingship of Rachel. The child born from it is this. He brought in Joseph and Benjamin. Joseph is Direct Light and Benjamin is Returning Light. They are the foundation. She died and was buried. But because everything was withdrawn above, they returned to her. Benjamin, and not Joseph, even though he is Returning Light. The reason is that afterward he returns to descend in the secret of Direct Light. This is why Benjamin is in the place of Joseph, to be connected as mentioned at the end of page 153.
