Question: As a result of the second restriction (Tzimtzum Bet), four worlds appear: Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. Worlds are concealments. Why exactly after the second restriction do these filter worlds appear?

Answer: In order to begin to interact with the Creator, we need some degrees along which we can gradually approach Him. Therefore, the whole desire created by the Creator is divided into four parts, four degrees.

They are called the degrees of HaVaYaH (the name of the Creator). As we climb these degrees, we attain the name of the Creator and thus come to His revelation.

In principle, HaVaYaH creates these concealments, the four worlds: Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. What is meant here is not the corporeal worlds, but the spiritual ones, which are measures of the Creator’s concealment.

By revealing the connection with the Creator at a certain level, a person rises first to the world of Assiya, then to Beria, and so on, up to the world of Atzilut.
