Having discussed the Partzuf of Atik in general terms, we must now examine Atik’s function in the overall government and the way Atik is ordered accordingly. We must begin by explaining some fundamental aspects of the government that require all these orders of Atik.
There are two parts to this proposition. Part 1: The consequences... This explains the principle that all deeds leave their mark above. Part 2: And at the end... This explains what is gained through this mark left by all deeds.
Part 1: The consequences of each and every deed ever performed remain in existence even though the deed is already in the past. This means that every action adds either a flaw or a repair to the overall governmental order, and the action that comes after it is judged in accordance with what went before it. For there is no comparison between a flaw that comes after a repair and a repair that comes after a flaw, or between a flaw that comes after a flaw that has been repaired, or a repair that comes after a repair that became flawed. There are unending possibilities.
