The nature of Daat is to extend through the body, and when it descends uncovered and revealed, it does so in its own column first so as to fulfill its function there. We then say that the Mental Powers, through which Imma rests upon and directs Zeir Anpin, are fixed in him. Afterwards Daat ascends once more. By then Chochmah-Binah-Daat have already been fixed in Zeir Anpin and accordingly Daat ascends to that point.
Having discussed how Daat must extend through the whole of Zeir Anpin, we will now explain the path by which it spreads.
