As we\u2019d said earlier (see 4:1), the Partzufim<\/em> are usually laid out thusly, in descending order: Adam Kadmon<\/em>, Erich Anpin<\/em>, Abba<\/em> and Imma<\/em>, Zeir<\/em> Anpin<\/em>, and Nukveh<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There are those who speak of Partzufim<\/em> higher yet than Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> [1], and in fact Ari himself clearly alluded to higher Partzufim<\/em> [2] but they are not our concern here for the most part, both because Ramchal doesn\u2019t focus much on them here and also because Ari discouraged full discussions of them.<\/p>\n

In any event, this Petach<\/em> starts off with a discussion of the Partzuf<\/em> known as Attik<\/em>.<\/p>\n
