The Petach<\/em> continues with the technical statement that Attik<\/em> also extends <\/strong>outward with the repairs that Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> needs, <\/strong>i.e., with MaH<\/em> and Ban<\/em>. This is offered to clear up an apparent contradiction in Ari\u2019s writings [1].<\/p>\n

Note:<\/p>\n

[1] \u00a0As Ramchal offers in his own comments here, \u201cin one place the Kabbalistic teachings it\u2019s stated that Attik <\/em>was comprised of MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em> (see Eitz<\/em> Chaim<\/em>, Sha\u2019ar<\/em> Attik <\/em>Ch. 1), whereas elsewhere it appears that Attik<\/em> is the Malchut<\/em> of Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> (Eitz<\/em> Chaim<\/em>, Sha\u2019ar<\/em> Seder<\/em> Attik <\/em>Ch. 1) which would make it impossible for Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> to have been comprised of MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em>\u201d. Ramchal offers that \u201cthe explanation lies in the fact that in order to govern Attik<\/em>, it was necessary for the Malchut<\/em> of Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> to take on these aspects (i.e. of MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em>), which are its repairs, for it is with this ability that Malchut<\/em> of Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em> governs Attik\u201d <\/em>. So there is no contradiction; everything is relevant to its function and stature.<\/p>\n
