The interactive coupling of Abba and Imma above is continuous so as not to interrupt the proper functioning of the Mental Powers at root. However, through Israel Sabba and Tevunah the Mental Powers extend to produce Mental Powers in Zeir Anpin in the order that befits him.

The interactive coupling of Abba and Imma above is continuous so as not to interrupt the proper functioning of the Mental Powers at root. As discussed earlier, the governmental order depends on the Mental Powers in Zeir Anpin. These Mental Powers are liable to “ascend” (to be enhanced) or “descend” (to be diminished) as required for the allocation of reward and punishment in the world according to men’s deeds. And the strength of the flow of influence into the world is in proportion to the strength of these Mental Powers.
