…while in the Face they operate in detail, because the Face is made to shine in detail and all its radiations must be rectified through the repairs deriving from Atik. The intention is to rectify everything. Accordingly the individual parts cannot be left out. Wherever there are detailed aspects, they must all be repaired. (Atik repairs the Head of Arich Anpin overall through the repair of the Skull and all the details individually through the repairs of the Face.)NOTESee Etz Chayim Shaar Arich Anpin ch. 6: “The seven lower Sefirot of the Unknown Head from Chessed to Malchut are clothed in the two lower heads of Arich Anpin and shine therein”.
See ibid. ch. 7: “Although we have said that Atik’s seven lower Sefirot are clothed in the seven Sefirot of the Skull of Arich Anpin, nevertheless… in essence there are only two in the head of Arich Anpin: Chessed and Gevurah. Chessed is in the Skull and Gevurah in the Brain, for the Skull and Brain are the two lower heads and they are the roots of the entire Head, while the other Sefirot – revealed through the Seven Repairs of the Head – are merely a radiation. See Ramchal, Klalut HaIlan 7:8 and 8:3.
