Ramchal begins Petach<\/i> 57 which directly touches upon the 288 sparks thusly.<\/p>\n
These <\/b>four <\/b>instances of AV<\/i><\/b> <\/i>that we discussed <\/i>in the two previous Petachim<\/i> which reinforce the four Partzufim<\/i> <\/b>of Abba<\/i>, Imma<\/i>, Zeir<\/i> Anpin<\/i>, and Nukveh<\/i> in Erich<\/i> Anpin<\/i>, and which are removed from harm, are the essence of the \u201cChariot\u201d <\/b>that the Kabbalists refer to. It\u2019s here that the \u201cThrone\u201d <\/b>they speak of also \u201cbears its bearers\u201d <\/b>as they put it.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b>He’ll explain what he means by \u201cChariot\u201d in his comments here, (as well as the \u201cThrone\u201d that \u201cbears its bearers\u201d), but let\u2019s explain the Chariot in its classical senses first.<\/p>\n
