לולא עלית המלכות לבינה לא היו זו"ן ראוים למוחין כב. ויש לדעת כאן, שזו"ן מבחינתם עצמם אינם ראוים לקבל מוחין כלל, משום שמקורם של זו"ן הוא מבחינת למטה מטבור דא"ק (עיין לעיל אות י"ז [ח'), ששם שולטת המלכות דמדת הדין, שכח הצמצום רוכב עליה ואינה ראויה לקבל האור העליון. אבל עתה, שבינה ותפארת ומלכות דישסו"ת העלו את זו"ן למדרגת ישסו"ת, נעשו זו"ן כמדרגת ישסו"ת, ויכולים לקבל האור העליון כמוהם.
If not for the Ascent ofMalkhuttoBina,Ze’er AnpinandNukbaWould Not Be Fit for brains 22. At this stage, it should be understood that on their own,Ze’er AnpinandNukbaare unfit to receive thebrainsat all, because the source ofZe’er AnpinandNukbais from below the navel ofAdam Kadmon(see section 8 above). It is there that theMalkhutof the attribute of judgment is dominant, and the force of the first constrictionrests upon that region, and it is thus unfit to receive thesupernal light.27As will be explained in the next sections and the accompanying footnotes, the area below the navel of Adam Kadmon referred to here represents an area of Adam Kadmon that has no access to the supernal light. At the point of the navel and below, the power of Malkhut is dominant. Malkhut cannot serve as a vessel for the supernal light because it is only will to receive, and has no capacity for giving, making it too different from the supernal light that is wholly giving. Therefore, any vessel that is within this area is restricted from receiving the supernal light.Now, however, whenBina,Tiferet, andMalkhutofYisrael Sabba and Tevunahave raised up the level of Ze’er AnpinandNukbato thelevelofYisrael Sabba and Tevuna, the level of Ze’er AnpinandNukbahave become like thelevelofYisrael Sabba and Tevuna, and they are able to receive thesupernal lightlikeYisrael Sabba and Tevuna.

If not for the Ascent of Malkhut to Bina, Ze’er Anpin and Nukba Would Not Be Fit for brains
22. At this stage, it should be understood that on their own, Ze’er Anpin and Nukba are unfit to receive the brains at all, because the source of Ze’er Anpin and Nukba is from below the navel of Adam Kadmon (see section 8 above). It is there that the Malkhut of the attribute of judgment is dominant, and the force of the first constriction rests upon that region, and it is thus unfit to receive the supernal light.27As will be explained in the next sections and the accompanying footnotes, the area below the navel of Adam Kadmon referred to here represents an area of Adam Kadmon that has no access to the supernal light.

Therefore, any vessel that is within this area is restricted from receiving the supernal light. Now, however, when Bina, Tiferet, and Malkhut of Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna have raised up the level of Ze’er Anpin and Nukba to the level of Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna, the level of Ze’er Anpin and Nukba have become like the level of Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna, and they are able to receive the supernal light like Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna.
