The vessels Keter, Hochma, and the upper half of Bina, are referred to as Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE), or vessels of bestowal. The upper half of Bina belongs to the vessels of bestowal because it is filled with Light of Wisdom, and hence wants to receive nothing for itself, wishes only to have the Light of Mercy. But the lower half of Bina wants to receive Light for Zeir Anpin. Partzuf Nekudot de SAG is Partzuf Bina. From the lower half of Partzuf Bina meaning, from Tifferet de Nekudot de SAG and below, there are vessels of reception:

• The lower half of  Bina wants to receive Light for  Zeir Anpin. 
• Zeir Anpin wants to receive the Light of Mercy with illumination of wisdom. 
• Malchut wants to receive the entire Light of Wisdom.

That is why that part of Partzuf Nekudot de SAG consists of a will to receive in order to receive.

THE DIVISION OF PARTZUF NEKUDOT DE SAG TO GALGALTA EYNAIM AND AHP

The place where the screen of the  Rosh stands determines the form of the new  Partzuf:

• If the screen wants to produce a Partzuf that will receive Light in all its ten Sefirot, it must perform a Zivug in the Peh. When the screen is situated in the Peh, the Kashiut (Hardness) of the screen determines its degree, meaning to what extent the screen will be using its vessels.
• If the screen wants to produce a Partzuf that will receive only in its vessels of bestowal, meaning using only half the Partzuf, it should stand at the Nikvey Eynaim and not in the Peh de Rosh, because that is the upper half of the Rosh. Then the vessels of bestowal will be above the screen, meaning they will be taken into account by the screen.

Once the screen stands at  Nikvey Eynaim, the  Kashiut of the screen determines what percentage of its vessels of bestowal the screen will use. When a  Partzuf is produced under these restrictions it is called  Partzuf Katnut (smallness) of  Olam HaNekudim (the world of  Nekudim).

Once a  Zivug has been made on the restricted  Reshimot of  Bet de Hitlabshut and  Aleph de Aviut in Rosh de SAG, the  Partzuf descends to the place where the  Reshimot came from. It goes under  Tabur de Galgalta and expands there complete with  Rosh and  Guf. Rosh de Hitlabshut is called  Keter; Rosh de Aviut is called  Abba ve Ima (AVI, lit. Father and Mother) and the  Guf is called  ZON (Zeir Anpin and Nukva).

Its overall structure,  Rosh and  Guf, as well as any other part of it, is divided into two parts,  GE and AHP.

• GE – are vessels of bestowal. They are always active because only the light of wisdom was restricted, not on the light of mercy. 
• AHP are vessels of reception. After the Second Restriction in Partzuf Nekudot de SAG, no Partzuf has the sufficient strength to receive Light of Wisdom in its AHP in order to bestow.

A third pair of  Reshimot that rose to  Rosh de SAG along with the screen are  Reshimot that moved to Nekudot de SAG from  Sof of  Galgalta –  Dalet de Hitlabshut and  Gimel de Aviut.  Partzuf Nekudot de SAG received those  Reshimot when it filled the end of  Galgalta. Those  Reshimot are the ones that need the Light of Wisdom.

Once the  Partzuf of  Katnut of the world of  Nekudim descended to its place from  Tabur de Galgalta through the  Parsa,  Rosh de SAG gave it the remaining  Reshimo of  Dalet de Hitlabshut and  Gimel de Aviut. In response to the demand of these  Reshimot, the screen that stood at  Nikvey Eynaim of  AVIdrops and performs a  Zivug on  Reshimot 4/3  (Dalet de Hitlabshut and  Gimel de Aviut). Because of that  Zivug, the Light of Wisdom drops to the  Guf, reaches the  Parsa and crosses it on its way down.

The  Rosh of  AVI assumes, judging by the demand of  Reshimot 4/3, that the vessels of reception below  Parsa can receive in order to bestow. Because of that,  Partzuf AVI makes a  Zivug on  Gadlut, meaning on  Reshimot 4/3. For that purpose, it joins the vessels of  GE with the  AHP in its  Rosh and the  Guf, which is  ZON, and the Light of Wisdom expands from it down to  ZON.
