First there are the five worlds between the Creator and our world. These worlds are&nbsp;<em>Olam Adam Kadmon, Olam Atzilut, Olam Beria, Olam Yetzira<\/em>, and finally&nbsp;<em>Olam Assiya<\/em>. At the bottom end of&nbsp;<em>Olam Assiya<\/em>&nbsp;is our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each world consists of five&nbsp;<em>Partzufim&nbsp;<\/em>(plural for&nbsp;<em>Partzuf<\/em>) called&nbsp;<em>Galgalta<\/em><em>, AB<\/em><em>, SAG, MA&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>BON<\/em>. Each&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>contains five&nbsp;<em>Sefirot \u2013 Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. For&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, Phase 4&nbsp;<em>(Dalet<\/em>), to reach the highest level, it must move through all of these levels. In this way&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the only creation, merges with the four previous phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>rises through these levels, it fully absorbs all the properties in each phase and equalizes its attributes with the Creator\u2019s attributes. This is the Goal of creation. The very first thing that must happen now is that&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;must be fully mixed with the other nine&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this task, a very special&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>is created. This&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>contains&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>and the nine&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>from&nbsp;<em>Keter&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. Its name is&nbsp;<em>Adam ha Rishon<\/em>, or simply&nbsp;<em>Adam<\/em>. If you are wondering if this&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>is the same that is spoken of in Genesis of the Bible, it is most certainly one and the same&nbsp;<em>Adam<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, the nine&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>and the tenth,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, are not connected to each other in any way. That\u2019s why it was said that in the beginning,&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>was forbidden to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. With the fall of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>and the breaking of his Vessels, the four upper phases (the nine first&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>), fall into&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All spiritual movements from above downward, from&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof&nbsp;<\/em>to our world and back to the World of&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>, are preordained. Nothing is planned that is not in accordance with the goal of creation. This goal is achieved when the fourth phase becomes similar to the third, second, first and zero phases, which are all contained in the fourth phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the worlds appear as the descent of the Creator from above downward, over the 125 levels of the five worlds. This is like a permanent restriction of the Creator, making the whole of creation recede from Him until Creation reaches the level of our world, which no longer feels Him at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creation rises upward, it makes its way through the same 125 levels of the five worlds that were formed for this specific purpose. Advancing a single level provides you with the power to take a leap forward to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The descent from above to below is the regression process of the soul, but the ascent is progression. During the descent, the power of each level lessens because it conceals more and more of the Light of the Creator from His creation. But the reverse movement increasingly reveals the Light of the Creator to us and grants us the power to overcome obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at what happens when the breaking of the Vessels&nbsp;<em>(Shevirat ha Kelim<\/em>) takes place in the world of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>. The nine altruistic&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>that&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, being the selfish part, tries to use for her own sake, fall into&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. In the previous chapter we wrote that the&nbsp;<em>Zivug&nbsp;<\/em>(4,3) made in&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>caused the shattering of the Vessels. This&nbsp;<em>Zivug&nbsp;<\/em>was a request by&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>for Light.&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>wished to use the Light for its own pleasure, and the screen, having only the power of (2,2) could not possibly resist. At this time, altruism and selfishness are blended together as a result of the breaking, and we see this blending in our world as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting point astute observers will immediately see is that the fall of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>as told in the Bible was no accident. It was a necessity. Without that fall, there would have been no mixing of the attributes of the Creator with&nbsp;<em>Malchut,&nbsp;<\/em>and without that mixing there would have been no correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if a strong Light enlightens this blend and awakens&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, making it understand its own nature and what the Creator is,&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>can strive to be like the Upper&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, i.e. the Light of the Creator. Even though the breaking of the Vessels seems to be an anti-spiritual action, actually it is the only possible process that can enable&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>to bond with the altruistic properties of the Creator and to rise up to His level at a later stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the breaking, two parallel systems of worlds,&nbsp;<em>Assiya, Yetzira, Beria,&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>are built as two systems: altruistic and selfish. These worlds are built on the basis of the breaking of the Vessels, which is why their system specifically grasps one\u2019s soul. The soul of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>also consists of selfish and altruistic Vessels. The fall of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>combined these two sorts of Vessels and his&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>was broken. When ascending to the appropriate level in the system of worlds, each broken part may discover its place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shevirat Neshamot&nbsp;<\/em>(the breaking of souls) of&nbsp;<em>Adam&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Shevirat Olam ha Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>(breaking of the Vessels in the world of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>) are built on the same basis. The worlds are a kind of outer casing for the soul. In our material world, it is the Universe, the Earth and everything around us, which forms the outer casing, enclosing mankind within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When examining how the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>is designed, we may note that its structure completely matches the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>. In fact,&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>is a model for&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Nekudot de SAG<\/em>, after&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Bet&nbsp;<\/em>(Second Restriction), ascends to the&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>(Head) of&nbsp;<em>SAG&nbsp;<\/em>with three kinds of&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>&nbsp;(reminiscences).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the restricted&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>of (2,1)&nbsp;<em>Bet-Aleph<\/em>, the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>is formed in the&nbsp;<em>Katnut&nbsp;<\/em>(smallness) on&nbsp;<em>Kelim Galgalta ve Eynaim&nbsp;<\/em>(only on the Vessels of bestowal). This spreads downward from the&nbsp;<em>Tabur&nbsp;<\/em>(navel \u2013 the original border that divided the desires of&nbsp;<em>Aviut&nbsp;<\/em>level 4) to&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>, that division in&nbsp;<em>Tifferet&nbsp;<\/em>that divides Vessels of bestowal and Vessels of reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new&nbsp;<em>Partzuf<\/em>, like any other, is composed of&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>. Its&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>is divided into three parts: the first&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>is called&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, the second&nbsp;<em>Abba&nbsp;<\/em><em>(Hochma<\/em>) and the third&nbsp;<em>Ima&nbsp;<\/em><em>(Bina<\/em>).&nbsp;<em>Abba&nbsp;<\/em>literally means \u201cFather\u201d and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201cMother\u201d in Hebrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Guf&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>is called&nbsp;<em>ZON Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>. Above the&nbsp;<em>Parsa&nbsp;<\/em>is&nbsp;<em>Gar de ZON<\/em>, below the&nbsp;<em>Parsa&nbsp;<\/em>we find&nbsp;<em>Zat de ZON. Gar de ZON&nbsp;<\/em>are Vessels of bestowal,&nbsp;<em>Zat de ZON&nbsp;<\/em>are Vessels of reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>craved to enter the&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>, i.e., to join the&nbsp;<em>AHPs&nbsp;<\/em>to itself. Remember that&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>are Vessels of pure reception for oneself.&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>wants to correct these. But when the Upper Light reached&nbsp;<em>Parsa&nbsp;<\/em>and tried to cross it, the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>broke apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rosh Keter&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Rosh Abba ve Ima&nbsp;<\/em>remain, since the Heads do not break. But&nbsp;<em>ZON,&nbsp;<\/em>i.e., the&nbsp;<em>Guf,&nbsp;<\/em>breaks completely, both above the&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>, and below it. Now, there are in total 320 broken parts, 32 of which&nbsp;<em>(Lev ha Even<\/em>) are not possible to correct by one\u2019s own power. The remaining 288 parts are subject to correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, in order to correct the broken Vessels, the world of Correction&nbsp;<em>(Olam ha Tikkun&nbsp;<\/em>also called&nbsp;<em>Olam Atzilut<\/em>) is created.&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>from the breakage of all 320 parts ascend to&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>SAG.&nbsp;<\/em>At the beginning, the&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>SAG&nbsp;<\/em>selects the purest parts, the lightest with respect to the ability to be corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the Law of Correction: first the easiest parts get corrected and then with their help, the next parts are handled. Out of the corrected Vessels,&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>SAG&nbsp;<\/em>creates the&nbsp;<em>Partzufim&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>, similar to a small World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(i) Keter of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>, also named&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(ii)&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, also named&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(iii)&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, also named&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(iv)&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(v)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, also named&nbsp;<em>Nukva&nbsp;<\/em>The World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>is a replica of the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>:&nbsp;<em>Atik&nbsp;<\/em>is located between the&nbsp;<em>Tabur&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Galgalta&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>;&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>from&nbsp;<em>Peh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Atik&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>;&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima&nbsp;<\/em>from&nbsp;<em>Peh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Tabur&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin<\/em>;&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>stands from&nbsp;<em>Tabur&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>; and&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>is in the form of a point under&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin<\/em>&nbsp;(see Figure 7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>is composed of two parts:&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE<\/em>), Vessels of bestowal, and&nbsp;<em>AHP<\/em>, Vessels of reception. After being shattered, the Vessel consists not of two parts, but of four:&nbsp;<em>GE, AHP, GE&nbsp;<\/em>inside&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>inside&nbsp;<em>GE<\/em>. Such a combination can be found in each of the 320 broken Vessels. The goal here is to break each particle and separate the&nbsp;<em>GE<\/em>&nbsp;(Vessels of bestowal) from the&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>(Vessels of reception).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works. The&nbsp;<em>Reshimot&nbsp;<\/em>of the corrected state cause the broken&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;to draw&nbsp;<em>Ohr Makif<\/em>, which in turn separates the&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve&nbsp;<\/em><em>Eynaim&nbsp;<\/em>from the&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>and elevates it to spirituality, while the&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>stays and awaits its turn for correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/clean\/59216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/var\/kbl\/storage\/images\/kabbalah\/nauka_kabbala\/spryyt_ktby_mqoblym\/textbooks\/wondrous_wisdom__1\/chapter_8_eight_beginning_lessons_in_kabbalah\/lesson_5\/wondrous_wisdom_figure_7\/1130161-1-eng-GB\/wondrous_wisdom_figure_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Figure 7.

The&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>are&nbsp;<em>Atik, Arich Anpin,&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima.<\/em>&nbsp;There&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;performs the following actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(i)&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;(coupling) on level 2 desire&nbsp;<em>(Bet de Aviut<\/em>), creating the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(ii)&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;on level 1 desire&nbsp;<em>(Aleph de Aviut<\/em>), creating the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(iii)&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;on level 0 desire&nbsp;<em>(Aviut Shoresh<\/em>), giving birth to the World of&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ascent to&nbsp;<em>Bina&nbsp;<\/em>moves the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>two levels up, which in turn moves everything under it up two levels. Everything moves together.&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>is now in the place of&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima, Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>in the place of&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin,&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Arich Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Atik&nbsp;<\/em>ascend in proportion.&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>, which is in this ascent equivalent to&nbsp;<em>Bina,&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em>, can create, or \u201cgive birth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of this ascent is that the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria&nbsp;<\/em>is born out of&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>and occupies a new place instead of&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>, under the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, that has given birth to it. The newborn is usually one level below its mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira&nbsp;<\/em>is brought to life. Its first four&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, i.e. its upper part, now occupy the place of&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut<\/em>. In its lower part, six lower&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, are located, correspondingly, in the position of the first six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, the place of the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next world,&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>, covers half of the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria&nbsp;<\/em>and half of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>. The four&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira&nbsp;<\/em>and the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Assiya&nbsp;<\/em>remain empty. This empty place is called&nbsp;<em>Mador ha Klipot<\/em>, the Shell Section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel a bit confused about the last few paragraphs, realize that there is a difference between where these world\u2019s places were during their creation and where they are now. It will make it easier to find your way if you make full use of the figure above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to emphasize its importance we can consider the whole process once more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>came out in&nbsp;<em>Katnut&nbsp;<\/em>with a&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>having three parts, being&nbsp;<em>Keter&nbsp;<\/em>and the other two&nbsp;<em>Roshim&nbsp;<\/em>(plural for&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>) being&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>ZON&nbsp;<\/em>is its&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>. All this is called&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve Eynaim&nbsp;<\/em>and spreads from&nbsp;<em>Tabur&nbsp;<\/em>to&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>. After this, the&nbsp;<em>Gadlut&nbsp;<\/em>(Greatness) of the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>&nbsp;begins to emerge, which has ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;both in&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gadlut&nbsp;<\/em>appeared in&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, in&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em>, but when&nbsp;<em>ZON&nbsp;<\/em>wants to receive&nbsp;<em>Gadlut&nbsp;<\/em>the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim&nbsp;<\/em>breaks apart. It is important to remember that&nbsp;<em>Gadlut&nbsp;<\/em>is the spreading of Light not only to the Vessels of bestowal, but to the Vessels of reception as well. But the Vessels of reception have&nbsp;<em>Aviut&nbsp;<\/em>(strength of desire) of level 4, much greater than the screen. All of the&nbsp;<em>Kelim&nbsp;<\/em>of the&nbsp;<em>Guf&nbsp;<\/em>break into 320 parts; they fall under the&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>&nbsp;and mingle with each other, yielding four groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(i) Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(ii) AHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(iii) Galgalta ve Eynaim in AHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(iv)&nbsp;<em>AHP&nbsp;<\/em>in&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve Eynaim<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To correct the broken Vessels, the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>is created. First, its three&nbsp;<em>Partzufim&nbsp;<\/em>are born:&nbsp;<em>Atik, Arich Anpin, Abba ve Ima<\/em>, which fully correspond to the&nbsp;<em>Partzufim: Keter&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima&nbsp;<\/em>in the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>correspond to the same&nbsp;<em>Partzufim&nbsp;<\/em>in the World of&nbsp;<em>Nekudim<\/em>. At this stage, the correction of the extracted Vessels of bestowal,&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve Eynaim<\/em>, from all the 320 parts is finished. Further, we have&nbsp;<em>Galgalta ve Eynaim<\/em>&nbsp;inside the&nbsp;<em>AHP.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>wants to do the correction in&nbsp;<em>AHP<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>ascends to&nbsp;<em>Bina&nbsp;<\/em>and gives birth to the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>, which stands in place of&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>because&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Atzilut&nbsp;<\/em>is now in&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em>. Remember that&nbsp;<em>Zeir Anpin&nbsp;<\/em>was just below&nbsp;<em>Abba ve Ima<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira&nbsp;<\/em>are created; the last one partially overlaps the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>. The part of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira&nbsp;<\/em>is under&nbsp;<em>Parsa&nbsp;<\/em>in the place of the upper half of the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the World of&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>&nbsp;is located from the middle part of the place of the World of&nbsp;<em>Beria&nbsp;<\/em>to the middle part of the place of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira<\/em>. Beginning in the middle of the place of the World of&nbsp;<em>Yetzira&nbsp;<\/em>and finally ending in the place of the World of&nbsp;<em>Assiya&nbsp;<\/em>is emptiness,&nbsp;<em>Mador ha Klipot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon we will see that the worlds can ascend and descend, but always move together with respect to their initial position. All that we have discussed in this chapter is described in the 2100 pages of the&nbsp;<em>Talmud Eser Sefirot (<\/em><em>The Study of the Ten Sefirot<\/em>) by Rav Yehuda Ashlag. You can imagine how encompassing this great work is, describing even the smallest of details. This most important work provides guidelines for our spiritual progression and helps keep us focused on the correct goal. It is no less than a blueprint for reaching the spiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our correction pertains to the Second Restriction,&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Bet.&nbsp;<\/em>As a result we cannot see beyond&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Aleph<\/em>, the First Restriction.
