And if the fourth level stands in the place of Keter, where there is only one vessel, its returning light draws out only one light, nefesh. And so it was in Atzilut, as only the height of nefesh emerged in the gestation phase, as stated above, since the fusion through collision was in the place of the forehead, which is the vessel of Keter.268As explained previously, the “forehead” is the part of the head of the upper partzuf that corresponds to the level of Keter, representing the level of gulgalta.

However, after the drawing of the illumination in the phase of infancy, which pushed the fourth level269This refers to the aspect of Malkhut, the “fourth level” described in the previous section as having ascended to the nekudot aspect of Sag in the second constriction and bestowing opacity on the partitions below it. from its location at the forehead to the place of the first level, which is called the apertures of the eyes, the height of ruaḥ emerged.

Subsequently, through the illumination of Ḥokhma and Bina, in a state of face-to-face, of the upper partzuf, which brought down the fourth level to its place, to Malkhut – which raises the fallen Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut270As explained in previous sections, when Malkhut is in its ascended state, the lower vessels of a given level are cut off from Ḥokhma and Keter of their level and descend to the level below.

They return when the brains of the face of are activated, allowed Malkhut to descend to its place and these lowered vessels to ascend. to their level – there are five vessels once again, Keter, Ḥokhma, Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut. Then the fourth level produces the height of Keter with the light of yeḥida, and this is the height of Atik of Atzilut.
