After the refining of the screen there were&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>&nbsp;that were left there: they were&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>&nbsp;of the Light of&nbsp;<em>Dalet&nbsp;<\/em>(4)&nbsp;<em>de Hitlabshut<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Gimel&nbsp;<\/em>(3)&nbsp;<em>de Aviut<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Sof d<\/em><em>e Galgalta<\/em>&nbsp;rejected the Light from expanding in it, like&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. In that, it is much like&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>. Because of that,&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>&nbsp;mix with the&nbsp;<em>Sof d<\/em><em>e Galgalta<\/em>&nbsp;and fill up the empty vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the mixture of&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Sof d<\/em><em>e Galgalta<\/em>, they receive&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>&nbsp;that remained at the&nbsp;<em>Sof de Galgalta<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Reshimot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Galgalta&nbsp;<\/em>are stronger than the power in the screen of&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG,<\/em>&nbsp;which makes&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>&nbsp;begin to want to receive the pleasure that was in&nbsp;<em>Galgalta&nbsp;<\/em>for themselves. A spiritual law says that if the pleasure that is felt in the will to receive is stronger than the strength of the screen, the vessel wants to receive it for itself, because the strong (screen or desire) rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the worlds and the&nbsp;<em>Partzufim<\/em>&nbsp;are parts of&nbsp;<em>Malchut de Ein Sof.<\/em>&nbsp;That&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;restricted herself and decided never to receive again if it is for her own pleasure. Therefore, when a desire to receive for itself awakens in&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em><em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>that performed the First Restriction and stood at the&nbsp;<em>Sof d<\/em><em>e Galgalta<\/em>&nbsp;rises to the place in&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>, from which&nbsp;<em>Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>&nbsp;began to want to receive the Light for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>consists of ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>\u2013&nbsp;<em>Keter, Hochma, Bina, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzah, Hod, Yesod, Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nekudot de SAG<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em><em>Bina.

A lower part, comprised of\u00a0<em>Netzah, Hod, Yesod<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Malchut<\/em>. These\u00a0<em>Sefirot\u00a0<\/em>do not belong to\u00a0<em>Bina.\u00a0<\/em>Their role is only to receive Light of Wisdom from\u00a0<em>Hochma\u00a0<\/em>and pass it on to the lower one.\u00a0<em>Sefirot\u00a0Netzah, Hod, Yesod<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Malchut,<\/em>\u00a0do have a will to receive Light. They have a screen to receive the Light not for themselves, but only in order to pass it to the lower one. But if the screen is gone, the\u00a0<em>Sefirot<\/em>, meaning those desires, will immediately want to receive the Light for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>&nbsp;A man was accustomed to receiving a regular sum of money in order to give to the poor. One day, he received a much larger sum than usual. He felt he couldn\u2019t give the money to the poor now because he wanted it for himself. He couldn\u2019t resist the temptation for such great potential pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man could resist temptation only as long as the sum of money was smaller than his screen, because the pleasure from giving the money was greater than the pleasure of stealing. But when the pleasure from reception became greater than the giving, he immediately wanted to receive it for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how the will to receive works in every person and in every creature, because we are all made of a will to receive. And if we do bestow, it is only because it brings us more benefit than receiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what happens in&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>. When the part of the&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>that should receive in order to bestow to the lower ones became exposed to a greater pleasure than its screen could resist, the screen was immediately canceled and the&nbsp;<em>Partzuf&nbsp;<\/em>wanted to receive for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The will to receive for self was awakened in&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Nekudot d<\/em><em>e SAG<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Tifferet&nbsp;<\/em>and below, because the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em><em>Keter, Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;belong to the&nbsp;<em>Rosh&nbsp;<\/em>and therefore do not want to receive.&nbsp;<em>Hesed,&nbsp;<\/em><em>Gevura,&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;have the same function as&nbsp;<em>Keter, Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;respectively, except they are at the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Partzuf.<\/em>&nbsp;Thus,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet&nbsp;<\/em>is like&nbsp;<em>Bina&nbsp;<\/em>in the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Partzuf<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;consists of ten inner&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>. Hence the&nbsp;<em>Sefira&nbsp;<\/em><em>Tifferet&nbsp;<\/em>has its own ten inner&nbsp;<em>Sefirot,<\/em>&nbsp;that like&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, are divided into two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parts that do not receive in\u00a0<em>Tifferet<\/em>:\u00a0<em>Keter, Hochma, Bina,\u00a0<\/em><br><em>Hesed, Gevura,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Tifferet.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parts that do receive include the lower part of\u00a0<em>Bina\u00a0<\/em>and the\u00a0<br><em>Sefirot\u00a0<\/em><em>Netzah, Hod, Yesod<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Malchut.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Partzuf Nekudot de SAG<\/em>&nbsp;is divided into vessels of bestowal and vessels of reception. The line that separates them is in the inner&nbsp;<em>Tifferet&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>. That place is called the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh&nbsp;<\/em>(chest) of&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Nekudot de SAG<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the vessels of&nbsp;<em>Nekudot de SAG<\/em>&nbsp;received a greater will to receive then their screen. Hence,&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>of the First Restriction that was maintaining the First Restriction, rose to precisely that point, the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh,<\/em>&nbsp;and did not let the Light go under that point. The border for the expansion of the Light below that point is called&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rising of&nbsp;<em>Malchut&nbsp;<\/em>to the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh&nbsp;<\/em>of&nbsp;<em>Nekudot de SAG<\/em>&nbsp;in order to limit the expansion of Light below is called &#8220;the Second Restriction.&#8221; The First Restriction is the prohibition on the receiving the Light of Wisdom in order to receive. The Second Rrestriction, however, is the prohibition on receiving any Light of Wisdom, because from&nbsp;<em>Partzuf Nekudot de SAG<\/em>&nbsp;onward there isn\u2019t enough strength to receive that Light in order to bestow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A desire in the Upper World becomes a binding law in the lower one. Hence, in all the&nbsp;<em>Partzufim<\/em>&nbsp;that emanated after the Second Restriction have a&nbsp;<em>Parsa<\/em>&nbsp;(border, separating line) that will not let any Light of Wisdom into the vessels of reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of that, the area below&nbsp;<em>Tabur d<\/em><em>e Galgalta<\/em>&nbsp;was divided into four parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The place of the world of\u00a0\u00a0<em>Atzilut\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 where Light of Wisdom can shine.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The place of the world of\u00a0\u00a0<em>Beria\u00a0<\/em>under the\u00a0\u00a0<em>Parsa<\/em>.
