Thus the existence of the governmental order above, its being drawn down to be revealed in this way in man, its actualization in the making of man and man’s existence from it – all depend on the Likeness of Man itself. All this came about through the way the Supreme Mind designed this Likeness, i.e. this is how He designed the governmental order in all its laws. We must accordingly infer that all the calculations and measures (i.e. the Sefirot) seen to have been devised by the Supreme Mind correlate to the creations in all their parts.
For the roots of the creations are those very laws of government and its ways. To provide a root for any one division of creatures requires a separate law in the order of government. All levels of the lights are this way. For the upper worlds are themselves the creations rooted in a great root, while the worlds below them are those same creations rooted in a smaller root than the first.
