THE LOCK AND THE KEY

41. Rabbi Chiya and Rabbi Yosi were walking along a road. As they reached a
    field, Rabbi Chiya said to Rabbi Yosi, “The words BARAH SHEET (created
    six) certainly allude to BERESHEET, for the six Supernal Days, VAK de Bina,
    shine on the Torah (ZA), while the others, GAR de Bina, are concealed.”
    ZA of the world of Atzilut is called the Torah. The six Supernal Days are VAK
    de Bina that are above ZA. Hence, the first word of the Torah, BERESHEET =
    BARAH (created) and SHEET (six) indicates that the Sefira Bina turns to the
    Sefira Hochma in order to receive Ohr Hochma and pass it to ZA. Since ZA is
    unable to receive all the Ohr Hochma (GAR de Hochma, the Light of the ten
    Sefirot) from Bina, but only VAK de Hochma (Light of six Sefirot), this is stressed
    in the word BARAH SHEET—CREATED SIX. This means that ZA receives
    from Bina the Light of only six Sefirot, HGT NHY or VAK de Hochma, whereas
    GAR de Hochma, the Light of Sefirot KHB, is concealed from him.
    The reason for this is that although Partzuf Atik belongs to Tzimtzum Aleph
    (the first restriction), it is obliged to shine down on all the other Partzufim of
    the world of Atzilut, and on all the worlds BYA with the Light of Tzimtzum Bet.
    Therefore, with regards to the lower Partzufim, it appears as a Partzuf that belongs
    to Tzimtzum Bet.
    In other words, it deliberately imposed on itself an outward (with regards to
    others) restriction of its Light, to enable the lower Partzufim to receive from it.
    Hence, it elevated Malchut from the Peh to the Eynaim and made a Zivug on the
    screen that stands in Nikvey Eynaim, thus begetting Partzuf AA.
    This is why AA is a Partzuf with properties of the second restriction, and
    acts as Keter of the entire world of Atzilut instead of Atik. This was designed
    so by Partzuf Atik itself, which split into two parts: GE remained in Atik, and
    AHP became part of the second Partzuf, AA. And since Malchut ascended to NE
42. (Nikvey Eynaim), Partzuf AA remained without Malchut, the Sefira Ateret Yesod
43. was used in its stead, and Malchut became concealed in the NE of Partzuf Atik.
44. Also, GE de Atik became concealed from the lower Partzufim, Malchut stood in
45. NE of Rosh de Atik, AHP de Atik became GE de AA, and Ateret Yesod became
46. Malchut de AA.
