After a person permanently purifies the plant parts of his desire to receive, he completely ascends to the world of Yetzira and totally acquires the level of Ruaḥ. He can also receive there the lights of Neshama and Ḥaya from the Sefirot of Bina and Ḥokhma, which are defined as Neshama of Ruaḥ and Ḥaya of Ruaḥ. This can occur even before he completely and permanently purifies the animal and human aspects, parallel to what was described above regarding the world of Asiya. But this is only temporary. After he has permanently purified the plant aspect of his desire to receive, he has an equation of form with the entire world of Yetzira at the highest level (parallel to what was described about the world of Asiya.)
Purifying Desire to Receive in Ascending Worlds
