This section is termed \u201cAdam Kadmon<\/em> and its Offshoots\u201d and it\u2019s based on Petachim<\/em> 31-35.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve done till now, we\u2019ll present the Petachim<\/em> themselves in translation one by one with some interpolation, and follow that up with a quick summation of their main points and their extra areas of discussion, onto an analyses of the whole section.<\/p>\n

The first order adopted by the emanated light, <\/strong>i.e., the trace environment, that was to be established in the mystical configuration of ten Sephirot<\/em> and to be arranged in the likeness of a human is termed Adam<\/em> Kadmon<\/em>. It always and forever follows the sequence of the <\/strong>four letters of the name Havayah<\/em><\/strong>, i.e., Heh<\/em>–Vav<\/em>–Yod<\/em>-Heh, a purposeful and reverent misspelled acronym of the Tetragrammaton spelled Yod<\/em>–Heh<\/em>–Vav<\/em>–Heh<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This <\/strong>phenomenon is the <\/strong>source of the idea of the various orders and rules <\/strong>of governance <\/strong>of the worlds being extensions of and falling under the<\/strong> rule of following the order of these four letters. And it\u2019s in keeping with this order that all the various <\/strong>esoteric levels<\/strong> to be discussed further are to be explained following the mystical notion of the four letters of God\u2019s name.<\/strong><\/p>\n
