42. Atik, AA, is in three Roshim; Galgalta, Avira [air], and HS. They are incorporated in one Rosh of AA, and the top Rosh, RADLA, the Rosh of Atik, is on top, above the three Roshim of AA. Because holy Atik is inscribed in three Roshim, three lines—Keter is right, MS [Mocha Stimaa] is left, and Avira is the middle—all the Sefirot that shine from it are also inscribed in three. This is so because there are three lines in the Rosh, HBD, three lines in the Toch [interior], HGT, and three lines in the Sof, NHY.
Also, holy Atik is inscribed in two, since Atik in its entirety is in two: 1) The upper Keter of all the upper ones, the Rosh of all the Roshim, Galgalta of AA, which includes HS, 2) the Rosh above it, RADLA.
Likewise, all the other candles, the Sefirot, are blocked in two. The middle line, in which there are HG, which do not unite to decide between right and left, which are extended from the two Roshim: RADLA and Galgalta of AA.
Also, holy Atik is inscribed and blocked in one, where all the lights in it are incorporated in the control of only the light of Hassadim, and it is one, and all is one. Similarly, all the other candles are sanctified and connected and return in one, and they are one.
Atik is the general name for the three Roshim RADLA, Galgalta, and HS, in which Ein Sof clothes. As Atik incorporates three Roshim, RADLA, Galgalta, and HS, so are the rest of the candles in three, which are HBD HGT NHY. Since Daat consists of HB and Tifferet consists of HG, and Yesod consists of NH, where in each of them they are two, two, it was therefore said, “Holy Atik is inscribed in two: RADLA and Rosh AA. Similarly, all the rest of the candles consist of two.
Also, the three Roshim of AA are the correction Mem-Lamed-Tzadi of Tzelem, since in Gadlut [greatness/adulthood], when Yod comes out from the Avir and returns to being light of Hochma, there are three degrees in it: 1) Mem of Tzelem, GAR of Bina, desiring mercy, where the Yod does not exit the Avir. 2) Lamed of Tzelem, ZAT of Bina, needs Hochma in order to bestow upon ZON. For this reason, the Yod exits the Avir and the light of Hochma returns to it. However, it is not for herself, but to bestow upon ZON, since Bina, both GAR and ZAT, is light of Hassadim. 3) Tzadi of Tzelem, ZON, in which the Hochma is revealed from the Chazeh and below, the place of the disclosure of Hochma.
This is the correction of the three Roshim of AA. There is no engagement in Keter and Hochma of the Rosh of AA, and the beginning of the engagement is in Bina of the Rosh of AA, where GAR of Bina are called Galgalta, in which the Yod does not exit AVI and they are in the state of Hassadim, Mem of Tzelem. Also, ZAT of Bina of the Rosh of AA are called Moach of Avira, in which the Yod exits the Avir and reveals the Hochma, but not for its own need, since it shines only in Hassadim, like Bina, Lamed of Tzelem.
ZON of the Rosh of AA are the third Rosh, called HS of AA, which is the place of actual disclosure of Hochma, Tzadi of Tzelem. Since there is control of Hassadim in the Rosh of AA, the Hochma in it is concealed and not revealed at all. This is why it is called HS.
Since holy Atik is inscribed in three Roshim—Mem, Lamed, Tzadi of Tzelem—all the Sefirot that shine from it are also inscribed in three, since in each Partzuf, three phases are discerned: Mem, Lamed, Tzadi, as in the three Roshim of AA.
There is another big difference in Atik and in AA. Indeed, they are ten Sefirot of one Partzuf, Keter, but through the correction of the ascent of Malchut to Bina that was done in all the Partzufim, Malchut of Keter rose to Bina of Keter and ended Partzuf Keter there, leaving Keter and Hochma and half of Bina in Partzuf Keter, and half of Bina and TM went out from the degree of Keter.
Keter and Hochma and half of Bina that remained in Keter are called Partzuf Atik, or RADLA, and Bina and TM of Keter that went outside the Keter were established as Partzuf AA. The Malchut that ascended to Bina of Keter, and because of which two Partzufim were made in Keter, always remains in RADLA, which is GAR of Keter, and never exits there. Only in the bottom half of Keter, AA, VAK of Keter, the Yod exits the Avir in the Mocha of Avira.
For this reason, it is extended from here to all the Partzufim of Atzilut, which, like them, are divided into GAR and VAK, where in the GAR of each Partzuf, the Yod does not exit the Avir, but only in the VAK of each Partzuf. In each Partzuf of GAR, the Hassadim are covered from Hochma, and in VAK, the Hochma is revealed.
