Upper Ones Below, and Lower Ones Above

330. Rabbi Shimon said, “I see upper ones below, and lower ones above; it is the form of Adam, a high correction, containing everyone.”

The correction of Adam, the middle line, diminished the GAR of the left, which are upper ones, and gave them below, as there is no desire for them, while the judgments that emerged through the illumination of GAR of the left, which were below, on the left, he lifted them up, as there is no illumination of Hochma except by revealing those judgments. Thus, it is extended from the correction of Adam that the upper ones will be below, and the lower ones above.

331. It is written, “The righteous is the foundation [Yesod] of the world,” containing six in one origin, as it is written, “His shins are pillars of marble [Shesh (six)],” since each shin has three connections in it, and two shins, six connections. Since Yesod contains NH, two shins, it follows that Yesod contains six connections as one.
