…this is called growth towards completion. For when the Partzuf attains the ability to function and carry out its ordained purpose, it is said to be complete. Prior to this it was deficient, which is why it is called complete when it reaches this point.
What is above this is an ascent. An ascent means that one ascends above one’s intrinsic level.
There are various arrangements like these… For everything occurs in stages, and every level has its own unique arrangements.
…for this is the source of the addition that comes at different times on weekdays, Shabbat and the other holidays. All the different states of the Partzufim generate consequences below. The effects of a given state are felt at the time when it holds sway – the holiness of Shabbat and festivals are felt on those particular days – and they also contribute to the overall government of the world. Thus, besides their rule on those particular days, the holiness of Shabbat and the festivals contribute to perfecting the overall governmental order.*For example, “We sound the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah to strengthen the repair that took place with the Giving of the Torah and initiate what will be in the future.” (Maamar HaChochmah, Malchuyot Zichronot VeShofarot). “It is like chopping away at a tree, striking blow after blow until one chops it down completely.” (Ibid. Seder Leil Pesach). Everything is designed to ensure that the cycle will be complete and suffice for all that is destined to happen in the world until everything returns to complete perfection at the final end in the future.
