This is because the partition was purified from the first level, which is called the “apertures of the eyes,” into a partition of the opacity of the root level204There are five levels of opacity in a partition, as was referred to in the previous footnotes. The fourth level opacity is the most opaque, giving rise to a height of returning light capable of enclothing as high as Keter. The least amount of opacity is that of the “root” level, capable only of generating returning light of the height of Malkhut. (in the manner explained in Petiḥa LeḤokhmat HaKabbala,” section 21), whose returning light enclothes only the height of the light of the Malkhut in the vessel of Keter, which is called forehead.
Therefore, this light is called “Mah that emerges from the forehead,” since the sefirot of Keter, Ḥokhma, Bina, Tiferet, and Malkhut of the head are called gulgalta, eyes, ears, nose, mouth. The forehead is gulgalta.205The five aspects of the human head correspond to five “features” of the head of a partzuf and, as always, to the five main sefirot. Those five features are the skull (gulgalta, corresponding to Keter), eyes (corresponding to Ḥokhma), ears (Bina), nose (Tiferet) and mouth (Malkhut).
