…and this is through the Male aspect, which channels them in this way... in all their particulars – just as the Female makes the selection in BaN, so the Male selects the particulars of MaH.
...and puts them in the Female. As discussed earlier (Opening 63 Part 2), besides the Female’s providing part of the actual resultant offspring itself, the Female also delineates the form of everything, including the part contributed by the Male. The reason is that MaH and BaN exhibit aspects of the Line and the Residue which we discussed earlier (Opening 27). A fundamental principle relating to the Sefirot is that certain lights are the primary roots in some given function, and it is through them that what is required for that function is actually produced, while other lights merely display what is actually produced at root by the primary lights, and these secondary lights undergo processes corresponding to those taking place in the lights which they display. (The secondary lights are in the same category as the primary lights but in an inferior mode.)
