Petach<\/em> 99 explains how the governance of Attik<\/em> and Erich<\/em> Anpin<\/em> are connected to one another and to the realm of reward above them thanks to the Da’at<\/em> of Attik<\/em>. Ramchal characterizes this Petach<\/em> as an encapsulation of what’s been said in Petachim<\/em> 96-98.<\/p>\n

The Petach<\/em> starts off with the aforementioned idea that Radlah<\/em><\/strong> which is comprised of the three highest Sephirot<\/em> of Attik<\/em> represents the mystical notion of the conjunction of\u00a0MaH<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0BaN<\/em>\u00a0above <\/strong>[1], which is the source of all governance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The seven lower\u00a0Sephirot<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0Attik<\/em><\/strong> though, which are engarbed\u00a0in\u00a0Erich<\/em>\u00a0Anpin <\/em><\/strong>right below it, govern it according to the makeup of\u00a0the<\/strong> Head<\/strong>, i.e., of Radlah<\/em>,\u00a0above them. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile the Da’at<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Attik<\/em> <\/strong>which is the lowest of its Sephirot<\/em> is engarbed <\/strong>below, between\u00a0Erich Anpin<\/em>‘s “Crown” and “Brain” <\/strong>[2]. <\/strong>That’s to say that the Da’at<\/em> of Attik<\/em> is prepared to accept human actions in line with the mystical notion of the present form of governance and to transfer them<\/strong>, i.e., those actions, by means of\u00a0Radlah<\/em>\u00a0to the levels above <\/strong>in order for them to be fixed for eternity <\/strong>in the realm of reward. <\/strong><\/p>\n
