The Division of each Partzuf into Keter and ABYA

While studying, it is recommend to examine the drawings at the end of the essay, HaIlan

180) We should know that the general and the particular are equal. Also, what is discerned in the general, is also present in its details, and even in the smallest detail that can be. Also, the general reality is discerned in five worlds, AK and ABYA, where the world of AK is considered the Keter of the worlds, and the four worlds ABYA are regarded as HB ZON (Item 3). Similarly, there is not a single item in all four worlds ABYA that does not comprise these five: The Rosh of each Partzuf is considered its Keter, corresponding to the world of AK; and the Guf, from Peh to Chazeh is considered the Atzilut in it. From the place of Chazeh through Tabur, it is considered its Beria, and from Tabur down to its Sium Raglin, it is considered its Yetzira and Assiya.

181) And you should know that there are many appellations to the ten Sefirot KHB, HGT, NHYM. Sometimes they are called GE and AHP, or KHB and ZON, or NRNHY, or the tip of the Yod and the four letters, Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey, or simple HaVaYaH and AB, SAG, MA, and BON, being the four kinds of fillings in HaVaYaH:

The filling of AB is Yod, Hey, Viv, Hey (the Aleph in Vav is replaced by a Yod);
The filling of SAG is Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey;
The filling of MA is Yod, He (Aleph replaces the Yod), Vav, He;
The filling of BON is Yod, Heh (Hey replaces the Yod), Vav, Heh;

They are also called AA, AVI, and ZON. AA is Keter, Aba is Hochma, Ima is Bina, ZA is HGT NHY, and Nukva de ZA is Malchut.

And they are also called AK and ABYA, or Keter and ABYA. Malchut de Keter is called Peh, Malchut de Atzilut is called Chazeh, Malchut de Beria is called Tabur, Malchut de Yetzira is called Ateret Yesod, and the general Malchut is called Sium Raglin.

182) Know that you should always distinguish two instructions in these different names of the ten Sefirot:

Its equality to the Sefira to which it relates;
How it differs from that Sefira to which it relates, for which its name changed in the specific appellation.

For example, Keter of the ten Sefirot of Direct Light is Ein Sof, and each Rosh of a Partzuf is also called Keter. Similarly, all five Partzufim of AK are called Keter, too. Partzuf Atik is also called Keter, and AA is also called Keter. Hence, we should consider this: if they are all Keter, why do their names change to be called by these appellations? And also, if they all relate to Keter, should they not be equal to Keter?

Indeed, in a sense, they are all equal to Keter, as they are considered Ein Sof, for the rule is that as long as the Upper Light has not clothed in a Kli, it is considered Ein Sof. Hence, all five Partzufim of AK are regarded as Light without a Kli with respect to the world of Tikkun, since we have no perception in the Kelim de Tzimtzum Aleph. For this reason, for us, its Lights are considered Ein Sof.

Also, Atik and AA de Atzilut are both considered Keter de Nekudim. Yet, from a different angle, they are remote from one another, since Keter de Ohr Yashar is one Sefira, but in AK it contains five complete Partzufim, each of which contains Rosh, Toch, Sof (Item 142). Also, Partzuf Atik is only half of the Upper half of Keter de Nekudim, and Partzuf AA is half of the bottom half of Keter de Nekudim (Item 129). Similarly, these two instructions should be discerned in all the appellations of the Sefirot.

183) Know that the special instruction in these appellations of the ten Sefirot named Keter and ABYA is to show that it refers to the division of the ten Sefirot into Kelim de Panim and Kelim de Achoraim, made because of Tzimtzum Bet (Item 60). At that time, the ending Malchut rose to the place of Bina de Guf, called “Tifferet at the place of the Chazeh,” where she ended the degree and created a new Sium, called “Parsa below the Atzilut” (Item 68).

And the Kelim from the Chazeh down went outside of Atzilut, and they are called BYA. The two thirds of Tifferet from Chazeh to Sium are called Beria; NHY are called Yetzira; and Malchut is called Assiya. It has also been explained that for this reason, each degree was divided into Kelim de Panim and Kelim de Achoraim: from the Chazeh upwards it is called Kelim de Panim, and from the Chazeh downwards it is called Kelim de Achoraim.

184) Hence, this discernment of the Parsa at the place of the Chazeh splits the degree into four special Behinot, called ABYA: Atzilut—through the Chazeh, and BYA—from the Chazeh down. And the beginning of the distinction is in AK itself. But there, the Parsa descended through its Tabur (Item 68); hence, the Atzilut in it is the AB SAG that end above its Tabur.

From its Tabur down it is its BYA, the place of the two Partzufim MA and BON in it. This is how the five Partzufim of AK are divided into ABYA by the force of the Sium of Tzimtzum Bet, called Parsa: Galgalta is the Rosh, AB SAG through its Tabur are Atzilut, and the MA and BON from its Tabur down is BYA.

185) Similarly, all five Partzufim of the world of Atzilut are divided into their own Keter and ABYA:

AA is the Rosh of the whole of Atzilut.
The Upper AVI, which are AB, clothing from Peh de AA down to the Chazeh, are Atzilut. And there, at the point of Chazeh, stands Parsa, which ends the Behinat Atzilut of the world of Atzilut.
YESHSUT, which are SAG, clothing from Chazeh de AA through its Tabur, are Beria de Atzilut.
ZON, which are MA and BON, clothing from Tabur de AA through the Sium of Atzilut, are Yetzira and Assiya de Atzilut.

Thus, the world of Atzilut, too, with its five Partzufim, is divided into Rosh and ABYA, as do the five Partzufim of AK. But here stands the Parsa at its place in Chazeh de AA, which is its true place (Item 127).

186) However, in the worlds in general, all three Partzufim Galgalta, AB, SAG de AK are regarded as the general Rosh. And the five Partzufim of the world of Atzilut, which clothe from Tabur de AK down to the general Parsa, being the Parsa that was made at the Chazeh de Nekudot de SAG (Item 66), are the general Atzilut. And the general three worlds BYA stand from Parsa down (Items 67-68).

187) In this very way, each particular degree in each of the worlds ABYA is divided into Rosh and ABYA, even Malchut de Malchut de Assiya, because it contains a Rosh and a Guf.

The Guf is divided into Chazeh, Tabur, and Sium Raglin.
The Parsa, below the Atzilut of that degree, stands at its Chazeh and ends the Atzilut.
From Chazeh to Tabur, it is considered the Beria of the degree, which the point of Tabur concludes.
From Tabur down to its Sium Raglin, it is considered Yetzira and Assiya of the degree.

And with respect to the Sefirot, HGT through Chazeh are considered Atzilut; the two bottom thirds of Tifferet from Chazeh to Tabur are considered Beria; NHY is Yetzira, and Malchut is Assiya.

188) For this reason, the Rosh of each degree is ascribed to Behinat Keter, or Yechida, or Partzuf Galgalta. The Atzilut in it, from Peh to Chazeh, is ascribed to Hochma, to Ohr Haya, or to Partzuf AB. The Beria in it, from Chazeh to Tabur, is ascribed to Bina, to Ohr Neshama, or to Partzuf SAG. And the Yetzira and Assiya in it, from Tabur downwards, are ascribed to ZON, to Lights Ruach Nefesh, or to Partzuf MA and BON. (Examine the book, HaIlan, from Image no. 3 onwards, how each Partzuf is divided by these Behinot.)
