Part 2: Accordingly, the Judgment that was revealed in the Residue did not reach a level where it could in any way be called the cause of the Other Side... This is the reason why there is no mention of a root of the Other Side except in the case of Nekudim, even though Judgment (דין, din) had already been revealed above. However the Judgment above was not on a level that bears any relation to that of the Other Side in any way at all.
...until it came to produce the Vessel... For you have already heard that the root of evil lies in the vessels, just as in the case of man’s body, since the vessel is the cause of the body, as discussed earlier....in Nekudim. I.e. not in Akudim (the lights of the Mouth of Adam Kadmon), because although a vessel existed there too, it did not rule (for the vessel was entirely subsidiary to the lights) and it did not become differentiated into its details (since it was only one vessel with ten lights). Accordingly it was not yet called a root to the Other Side. But as soon as it became revealed in all its constituent details and took control – namely, in the world of Nekudim – it reached a suitable level.
