Part 2: All things are governed in accordance with all these combinations, depending on the deeds of the lower creations. For the governmental order always takes into account the overall totality (see Opening 78). Thus every new deed has an effect on all the past, all the present and all the future. The result of that deed will never cease to exist, as I have already discussed, but is registered to exist for ever and to all eternity.

Thus the way things are arranged is as follows: every deed performed by man reaches its place here, because all of them are already here. (In the Unknown Head are all the deeds of the past, present and future.) Here all the different aspects, past, present and future, are affected by this deed, because all of them are included here. Through the power of the deed’s effect, the Partzufim, following the order of Atzilut, are afterwards arranged in such a way as to act in the worlds. (The influence is mutual: the deed affects the Unknown Head, which in turn affects the Partzufim.)
