This section expands upon the idea of Partzufim<\/i> which we\u2019ve already encountered [1]. It\u2019s spoken of here at more length than before because it was the Tikkun<\/i> process — which was focused upon in the previous section — that allowed for the formation of Partzufim<\/i>.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll also find that rest of Klach Pitchei Chochma<\/i> will expand upon each Partzuf<\/i> as it completes Ramchal\u2019s depiction of the entire Kabbalistic system.<\/p>\n
As such the first Petach of the section, 70, defines Partzuf<\/i> as follows. A Partzuf<\/i> comes about by a single light<\/b>, i.e., Sephira<\/i>, expanding outward and revealing all of its aspects as a single order<\/b> i.e., in human configuration.<\/p>\n
Notes:<\/p>\n
[1] See 3:2 and 4:1, 5 for example.<\/p>\n
