The ability of the Sephirot<\/em> to be represented in their images derives from the Sephira<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>, which is the root of the lower realms. It\u2019s through Malchut<\/em> that they are all set in their forms. That\u2019s why it\u2019s said that one can only \u201cascend\u201d or \u201creceive\u201d through Malchut<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, we even derive knowledge of <\/strong>(God\u2019s) governance from the forms and images themselves, for thanks to them we can know how the Shechina<\/em> <\/strong>(God’s Indwelling Presence) needs to govern for the sake of a particular matter <\/strong>(represented by a specific image) and to bring it about in the lower realms. And <\/strong>(from those images) we can <\/strong>(likewise) gain insight into the levels above where the capacities and attributes actually exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n
