Daf 36a (דַּף ל״ו ע״א)

Which correspond to the seven Heikhalot [Palaces] of His Nukvah, called mountains (שֶׁהֵם כְּנֶגֶד ז׳ הֵיכָלוֹת דְּנוּקְבֵיהּ הַנִּקְרָאִים הָרִים), and it is the Klipah of Babylon, which seizes the head wherein are the seventy faces of the Torah (וְהִיא הַקְּלִיפָּה שֶׁל בָּבֶל הָאוֹחֶזֶת בָּרֹאשׁ שֶׁבּוֹ ע׳ אַנְפִּין לַתּוֹרָה), certainly not through the Spirit (וַדַּאי לֹא בָּרוּחַ), for there is no side of Holiness within it (כִּי אֵין בּוֹ סִטְרָא דִּקְדוּשָׁא), rather it is called the Spirit of Impurity (וְהוּא נִקְרָא רוּחַ הַטֻּמְאָה), and it is the spirit that shatters the mountains (וְהוּא הָרוּחַ הַמְפָרֵק הָרִים), namely the Heikhalot [Palaces] of His Nukvah, which are also called mountains (שֶׁהֵם הֵיכְלֵי נוּקְבֵיהּ הַנִּקְרָאִים גַּם כֵּן הָרִים), in the mystery of Har Yam [Mountain–Sea] (בְּסוֹד ה״ר י״ם), the Gevurot [Powers of Judgment] alluded to by the Heh of the word Har [Mountain] (הֵם הַגְּבוּרוֹת הַמְּרֻמָּזִים בְּה׳ שֶׁל מִלַּת ה״ר), namely the five letters of Elohim itself (הֵם ה׳ אוֹתִיּוֹת אֱלֹהִים מַמָּשׁ), and the Resh of the word Har [Mountain] is Elohim in its squared form (וְר׳ שֶׁל מִלַּת ה״ר הוּא אֱלֹהִים בְּרִבּוּעוֹ), while Yam [Sea] is the extension of the five Gevurot [Powers of Judgment], each consisting of ten, totaling fifty (וְיָם הוּא הִתְפַּשְׁטוּת ה׳ גְּבוּרוֹת כָּל א׳ כְּלוּלָה מֵעֶשֶׂר עוֹלִים חֲמִשִּׁים), and it is the Sea of the Malkhut standing upon the twelve oxen (וְהוּא הַיָּם שֶׁל מַלְכוּת הָעוֹמֶדֶת עַל י״ב בָּקָר), namely the six upper Heikhalot [Palaces] and the six lower ones (הֵם שֵׁשׁ הֵיכָלוֹת עֶלְיוֹנוֹת וְשֵׁשׁ תַּחְתּוֹנִים), with the Sea above them (וְהַיָּם עֲלֵיהֶן), in the mystery of, “Its front faced the eastern sea, and its rear the western sea” (בְּסוֹד פָּנָיו אֶל הַיָּם הַקַּדְמוֹנִי וְסוֹפוֹ אֶל הַיָּם הָאַחֲרוֹן) (Zechariah 14:8), and the Malkhut receives this Sea from Imma (וּמַלְכוּת לוֹקַחַת הַיָּם הַזֶּה מֵאִמָּא), in the mystery of, “It is changed like clay under the seal” (בְּסוֹד מִי תִתְהַפֵּךְ כַּחוֹמֶר חוֹתָם) (Job 38:14), for Imma lends her garments to her daughter (כִּי אִמָּא אוֹזִיפַת מָאנַהּ לְבַרְתָּא), and within them is the mystery of the extension of the five Gevurot [Powers of Judgment], sweetened there (וּבָם סוֹד הִתְפַּשְׁטוּת ה׳ גְּבוּרוֹת הַנִּמְתָּקִים שָׁם), in the mystery of the fifty Gates of Binah [Understanding], which are Chai [18] and thirty-two, as is known, totaling fifty (בְּסוֹד חֲמִשִּׁים שַׁעֲרֵי בִינָה שֶׁהֵם ח״י וְל״ב כַּנּוֹדָע עוֹלִים חֲמִשִּׁים), and this is the mystery of the mountains (וְזֶהוּ סוֹד הָרִים), and it shatters the mountains (וְהוּא מְשַׁבֵּר הָרִים). Its explanation is: it shatters the attachment of the seven mountains, which seek to cleave to the seven above of the Male (פֵּרוּשׁ הוּא מְשַׁבֵּר דְּבֵקוּת שֶׁל ז׳ הָרִים הָרוֹצִים לְהִדָּבֵק בַּז׳ שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה שֶׁל הַזָּכָר), and it seeks to remove their attachment and shatter their activity and desire, Heaven forbid, to cleave to the Supernal Zivug [Union] (וְהוּא רוֹצֶה לְהָסִיר דְּבֵקוּתָם וְלִשְׁבּוֹר פְּעֻלָּתָם וּרְצוֹנָם ח״ו לְדָבֵק עִם הַזִּוּוּג הָעֶלְיוֹן), in the mystery of nakedness and forbidden relations (בְּסוֹד עֶרְיָה וְעֶרְוָה), and all their intention is to cut off the souls descending below from the Zivug [Union] of Ze'ir Anpin and His Nukvah (וְכָל מַגָּמָתָם לִכְרוֹת הַנְּשָׁמוֹת הַיּוֹרְדִים לְמַטָּה מִזִּוּוּגָם שֶׁל זְעֵיר וְנוּקְבֵיהּ), and they seek, Heaven forbid, to cut down together with all its plantings (וְרוֹצִים ח״ו לִכְרוֹת וּלְקַצֵּץ עִם כָּל נְטִיעוֹתָיו), but corresponding to this Elohim made the opposite (אֲבָל זֶה לְעֻמַּת זֶה עָשָׂה אֱלֹהִים) (Ecclesiastes 7:14), the Spirit of Elohim Chayim [Living Elohim], namely the Spelling in Full called the Green Line that surrounds the World of Atzilut (הָרוּחַ שֶׁל אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים הוּא הַמִּלּוּי הַנִּקְרָא קַו יָרוֹק דְּאַסְחַר עָלְמָא דַּאֲצִילוּת), descends from above and quiets them (יוֹרֵד מִלְמַעְלָה וּמַשְׁקִיטָם), so that they cannot ascend (שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲלוּ), and understand this (וְהָבֵן). And what he said, “and shatters rocks” (וּמַה שֶׁאָמַר וּמְשַׁבֵּר סְלָעִים), is the mystery of the seven compartments in the World of Yetzirah (הוּא סוֹד ז׳ מְדוֹרִין שֶׁהֵם בָּעוֹלָם הַיְצִירָה), and they are called the seven rocks (וְהֵם נִקְרָאִים ז׳ סְלָעִים), for Sela [Rock] equals Etz [Tree] in numerical value (כִּי סֶלַע גִּי׳ עֵץ), namely the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע), which is the mystery of Yetzirah, for there good and evil are adjacent to one another and are equal (הוּא סוֹד יְצִירָה כִּי שָׁם טוֹב וָרָע סְמוּכִים זֶה לָזֶה וְהֵם שָׁוִים), and when the Name KSA [161] of Imma descends (וּבִזְמַן שֶׁיּוֹרֵד שֵׁם קס״א דְּאִמָּא), it equals Etz [Tree] together with the word (הוּא גִּי׳ עֵץ עִם הַמִּלָּה), in the mystery of the pearl (בְּסוֹד הַמַּרְגָּלָא), and it surrounds from one end to the other, and evil can exercise no dominion there (וְסוֹבֵב מִקָּצֶה אֶל הַקָּצֶה אֵין הָרַע יָכוֹל לִשְׁלוֹט שָׁם).
