But in the essay, Beresheet, it was said that that hidden, holy one engraved a carving in his intestines, in Bina (Introduction to The Book of Zohar, Article “Lock and Key”).

The Creator is the uppermost degree, Keter, who is concealed from the lower ones because they cannot attain Him. Keter is their last, most corrected state.

The Creator is concealed behind numerous degrees so that by ascending to them, dressing onto them, the lower ones, that is, people in our world, we can gradually reveal Him, understand Him, and come closer to Him.

Thus, the first three Sefirot: Keter, Hochma, and Bina are the Creator’s thought. They are like the head (Rosh) of the Partzuf. We do not attain this thought.

We attain only the actions of the Creator through the six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin (Hessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod), which influence Malchut.
