The main element of thefusion through collisionfor the emergence of the lowerpartzufis in the mystical meaning of afusion through collisionof thesupernal lightupon thepartition, as stated above, since this determines the measure of theheightof the lowerpartzuf, as is known. However, the awakening of thefeminine waters188The ascent of feminine waters is a term referencing the “yearning” from below for the light of Ḥokhma represented by the ascent of Ze'er Anpin to the higher levels as the middle line. In Kabbala and Torah thought generally, the concept of female denotes the dynamic of receiving, while male denotes giving. The flow of direct light of Ḥokhma from above to below is described as the “masculine waters.”of the lower one is also required, and this awakening is performed via theKeterandḤokhmaof the lowerpartzufthat are attached to theBina,Tiferet, andMalkhutof the upper one.189As was explained in the discussion of the rectification of lines, and the adjoining sections (section 20 and in subsequent sections), the Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut of an upper partzuf are ejected and join the Keter and Ḥokhma of the level below as a result of the second constriction. The desire for the light of Ḥokhma in Keter and Ḥokhma of that lower level leads to a process in which the phase of maturity is initiated and Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut can return to their original, higher level. As this section explains, the Keter and Ḥokhma of the level below ascend with the Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut of the level above. This allows Ze'er Anpin to participate in the fusion through collision of the partzuf above Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna (as explained in section 65b).Consequently, both are necessary for the emergence of a lowerpartzuf.

ובז"א יש ענין נוסף: כי אין המסך שלו ממשיך כלים דשלש ראשונות, להיותו מסך דבחינה א', ולפיכך לא יכול העליון להשפיע לו מוחין מזווג של המסך באור העליון, ועל כן צריכים לנתון הג' הנ"ל, שיקבל המוחין על ידי זה שגורם מוחין לעליון שלו. בסוד “תלת מחד נפקי חד בתלת קיימא", כנזכר לעיל [אות סח].
In the case ofZe’er Anpin, there is another factor at work: Itspartitiondoes not draw the vessels of the first three, since it is apartitionof the firstlevel,190Since the partition at the bottom of Ze'er Anpin only has the opacity of the first level, it can only create returning light of the height of Ze'er Anpin, meaning of the six extremities, as opposed to a height tall enough to enclothe the first three sefirot (as explained in the preceding sections).and therefore the upperpartzufcannot give the lower partzufbrainsfrom thefusion through collision of thepartition with thesupernal light. This is why the aforementioned third criterion is required, thatZe'er Anpinreceive thebrainsby causing the emergence of brainsin its upperpartzuf, constituting the mystical meaning of “three come out of one; one exists in three,” as stated above.191See section 68.
