The Infinite Ein Sof desires etc.
And this is the lowest husk kelipah.
That we have arranged, God forbid.
To the brain moach which is within.
And from this, an inner brain for all of them.
He is life for all, and the husk is a husk.
Because the world [is] the moisture of our eyes in the sphere.
And surrounds the rest of the spheres.
Prepared in the aspect of the holy foundation Yesod.
As it is written regarding the phylacteries tefillin etc.
And there is the fragrance of the Ancient One Atik.
The height of thirty-six within.
Circles and the aspect of kindness Chesed.
The Ein Sof the Infinite desires. Even though they have praised the view that His inner essence is the moach brain or essence, the husk is lower than it. God forbid, the eyes of kindness see the essence. This matter concerns that which is nearest to Him, which is called the kelipah husk or shell that surrounds it. This continues until it is found that the Holy One, Blessed be He, is within all the spheres. All the rest are husks to Him. The sphere nearest to us is what we see. It is a husk to everything else. However, in the aspect of the worlds, it is not so. The innermost part of everything is the most refined and internal essence. It is the life-force and the shell for all, as it appears to our eyes. He is the life and the husk for all. Everything that moves further away from Him is considered internal relative to us. It is called the "brain" for everything below it. Also in this matter, man is upright and includes several worlds in the likeness of the Brit Covenant. As explained in the fourth branch, there are internal aspects in the image of man. There, within, are the various levels and measurements of the divine names. There it is understood that one is the brain and the other is the husk. Regarding the two aspects of the ten sefirot emanations, they are the height of the whole structure. These and those are the words of the Living God.
Do not let it enter your mind that the ten sefirot mentioned in the Zohar The Book of Splendor as the ten sefirot of Atzilut the World of Emanation are the highest and first of all that was conceived. Many causes preceded them. Because of this, the Zohar does not mention them by name, but only by a hidden hint in the Tikunei Zohar Repairing of the Zohar page 118a and in Genesis page 22a. It says there: "Come and see, how many causes there are," etc. In the section on Noah, page 65, and Pekudei page 258b, it says: "I lifted my hands in prayer to the high places, for when the supernal will is high above," etc. All of these are elevated. If you look closely at all the extra and doubled words in these passages, you will see how many levels there are before the height of the sefirot of Atzilut. These are the first things, hidden in the depths of the tongue and at the head. These completions were made upon the Keter Elyon the Supernal Crown. It is prayed for within the specific Crown, the aspect called Adam Kadmon the Primordial Man.
Behold, He divided His essence and placed a parsa curtain or veil in the middle of His body at the place of the navel within. This was to make a separation between them. This is the secret of the verse, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters" Genesis 1:6. There is a curtain, and this is the secret that everything above this curtain is hidden and removed. Then He broke through that curtain and descended, establishing the rest of the body from the navel downward. This is the aspect of the curtain mentioned at the beginning of the Idra Rabba The Great Assembly and regarding the Kings on page 128. This is the secret in the Tikunim that there is a curtain between the brains and the Crown. However, the truth is that there are many "skulls" that are hidden, as mentioned at the beginning of the Idra Rabba. The Keter Crown of Zeir Anpin the Lesser Countenance and the curtain of Tehima Wonder separate them. So it is with the entire world of the Infinite. But in the Crown of the entire Atzilut, there was a separation through the curtain of Adam Kadmon. It is found that there are two things in the structure of the body. The upper part is to receive the supernal light, and the second aspect is so that the lower parts can receive His light. Through this, we cover the fact that there is a curtain between Atzilut and the World of Creation as well.
Behold, the secret of the Atik Ancient One is that there is an Atik and his female counterpart, and Arich Anpin the Long Face and his female counterpart. However, there is a distinction regarding these female counterparts. The female aspects are judgments Dinim. They are established through the "Kings" and Arich
and his female counterpart are included in the Atik and Arich. They are the ultimate mercy Rachamim. In the Idra Rabba, it mentions the image of man, the Tetragrammaton, and the establishment of the head of the male and female. This is found in Atik and Arich. In the Idra Zuta The Lesser Assembly, it says: "Wisdom, the father, is established as male and female." If so, how can we say that even in Atik and Arich there is a female aspect? We find this explained in many places, especially in Genesis page 22b. It says: "The Cause of all Causes is above everything. He is the Ancient of Ancients. He is one without calculation and without partnership. Therefore, it says 'I am one and there is no God with me.'" This proves that all levels, except for the Cause of all Causes, have a partnership of male and female. The phrase "there is no God with me" refers to the female aspect called Elohim, which is Judgment. To reconcile these passages, in the realm of knowledge, everything includes male and female. But there is a difference in how they exist. For example, the name BaN numerical value 52 is the essence of the seven "Kings" who died. Therefore, they have a literal male and female form in the partzupim divine personas. They are like a bridegroom and bride. But there is a connection and unification between them. They are attached together and there is no separation at all. In the Zohar, it says on page 230 that they do not cease their desire for each other. They emerge together and dwell together. Their union is constant and never stops. However, the aspect of the Keter Crown did not experience any "nullification" at all. There are the five hidden parts of the Crown of the name BaN. It is known that in the vessels of the Crown there was a slight nullification, and they descended to become the "brains" for Arich Anpin. Therefore, it also has the aspect of male and female. But their union is internal. They are two aspects within one persona. This is why the Zohar says that in the Crown, it is "male only," because the female is not separate from him. When we say it has male and female, it is because there are two aspects of the names MaH numerical value 45 and BaN 52 on its right and left. These are the aspects of male and female in every place. But does it have male and female personas like the other personas? This belongs to the "Kings" of Arich Anpin. On his right is MaH, the male, and on his left is BaN, the female. However, in Atik, which represents the five hidden parts of the Crown, there was no nullification at all. Therefore, the aspects of male and female, which are MaH and BaN, are completely mixed together. They are mixed on the right and also on the left. It is not like Arich Anpin. As it says in Idra Rabba page 129: "There is no left in this hidden Ancient One, it is all right." In Arich Anpin, the male is on the right and the female is on the left. This means that both on the right and the left, he has the aspects of MaH and BaN. There is no difference between his right and his left. However, the aspect of male and female in him is as "Front and Back." This is a very wonderful and great connection. In Atik, you will not find "Front and Back" as you do in everything below it. The matter is that Atik has the name MaH and the name BaN. The name MaH has a front and a back, and the name BaN has a front and a back. They stand attached, the back of MaH to the back of BaN. The face of MaH is on one side, and the face of BaN is on the other side. The backs of both MaH and BaN are covered within the two aspects of the faces. Thus, in Atik, the aspect of "Back" is not revealed at all. Therefore, it is called "Entirely Face." But in Arich Anpin, the name MaH stands alone on his right, with its face on one side and its back on the other. Similarly on his left, the name BaN has its face on one side and its back on the other. Thus, the faces of MaH and BaN are on one side, and the backs are on the other. This causes "Front and Back" to descend into it. Sometimes we say even Atik has front and back. This refers to the two aspects of MaH and BaN. Because relative to MaH, the face of BaN is called the "Back."
