The flow of Chochmah of the thirty-two paths to lower beings He now explains how the two heads of Chochmah and Binah and the one that incorporates them, Da’at, spread from the brain of the thirty-two paths and into Zeir Anpin and other levels. He says that Chochmah of the thirty-two paths was engraved and produced a river, which is Binah that was extruded out of Chochmah due to the ascent of Malchut to Binah.
Through that, it flows and gushes to water the garden, which is Malchut. Had it not left Chochmah, Malchut would not have had brains. This ascent of Malchut to Binah relates to the right column. It enters the head of Zeir Anpin, which becomes one brain.
This is the brain of Chochmah to the right of the head of Zeir Anpin. From there it flows out throughout the body of Zeir Anpin and waters all the plants. This is the meaning of, “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden” (Bereshit 2:10). This explains the sequence of the emergence of the right side of the head of Zeir Anpin, which is Chochmah of the right. It is formed mainly by the ascent of Malchut to Binah and the extrusion of Binah outside Chochmah.
