From here you can understand with regard to the worlds, that there is not even a small novelty in the worlds that is not drawn from Ein Sof, blessed be He, i.e., from the first state of the souls, which are found there in their whole completed state of the completion of the rectification.28This refers to the previous sections, sections #24# and #25#, in which the author of the Sulam referred to the initial state of the souls.
This is in accordance with the notion “last in deed, first in thought,” stated above, and thus everything that will become manifest until the completion of the rectification is incorporated there.29As reality unfolds through time, we (the souls) undergo an evolving process of rectification, toward a state of completed rectification. This process is actually a "return" to the initial state of complete wholeness in which the souls were first formed.
Thus, each phase and stage of the process is actually a reflection of that initial plan, expressing "last in deed" (the final completion) and "first in thought" (the initial state of completion). At first, it is drawn from Ein Sof, blessed be He, to the world of Atzilut, like the parable, in which the planned design is drawn from the first thought. Then, each and every detail is drawn from the world of Atzilut to the worlds of Beria, Yetzira, and Asiya, as in the parable, where all the details are drawn from the planned design when they are actually executed in the building of the house.
