Having discussed in general terms the subject of the forms and likenesses in which the Sefirot appear, we will now enter into further details.
The propostion has two parts. Part 1: The works of the Emanator... This discusses how the lights governing the creation are interconnected. Part 2: Therefore the Sefirot are seen... This explains the way this interconnectivity appears in the prophetic vision.
Part 1: The works of the Emanator, blessed be His Name... Clearly, the Sefirot are not to be identified with the works of the Emanator, blessed be His Name, in creating and governing the worlds. Rather, the Sefirot are the thoughts that underlie these works, while the creations and the way they are governed are the works arising out of these thoughts.
