The final two Petachim<\/em> of this section (83 and 84) offer that not only is the makeup of the conjunction of MaH<\/em> and Ban<\/em> largely unfathomable in our realm — that that\u2019s also true in the upper realm.<\/p>\n

Petach<\/em> 83 is rather arcane as its stands, but as Ramchal lays it out in the Petach<\/em> itself along with his own comments there its says the following.<\/p>\n

All the Partzufim<\/em> play equal roles when it comes to the governing of Atzilut<\/em>. But that only became possible after each Partzuf<\/em> assumed a certain specificity, as when a Partzuf<\/em> that was to play a large role in the governance came to be comprised of a lot of MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em> elements, while one that was to accomplish a lesser role was comprised of fewer ones. It was those variable combinations that governed Atzilut<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t really discern the makeup of these Partzufim<\/em> as far as their MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em> combinations are concerned; all we can discern is the function each serves in the governing of Atzilut<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the Petach itself is worded.<\/p>\n

The Partzufim<\/em> of Atzilut<\/em> were <\/strong>already produced <\/strong>at the time of the Tikkun<\/em> by the selections that were made <\/strong>then from various admixtures of MaH<\/em> and BaN<\/em>. <\/strong>But it\u2019s still and all true it\u2019s no longer clear <\/strong>now when it comes to God\u2019s governance of Atzilut<\/em> what they\u2019d been produced from<\/strong>. And that\u2019s because the selections had already been conjoined and <\/strong>the Partzufim<\/em> are now equal <\/strong>in function, in that those that were produced from certain<\/strong> selections are like those that were produced from others.<\/strong><\/p>\n
