1. Read out loud the Aramaic Verse. If you need to transliterate in order to read with the sounds of the lettersthe verse see below. If you use the transliteration tool than make sure you scan the Aramaic first and last.

2. Read the English Translation - if you desire to understand and realize that your understanding will limit the energy you receive. This is why it is important to scan the aramaic verse first.

SYNOPSIS:

Rabbi Shimon tells us about the head that is high above the three heads of Arich Anpin. He says that Atika Kadisha is both the supernal Keter of all higher beings and also the head above it, the entirely unknown head. It is one, and everything is one.

Pasook 42. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha HaAzinu

הַאי עַתִּיקָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בִּתְלַת רֵישִׁין, וּכְלִילָן בְּחַד רֵישָׁא. וְהַהוּא רֵישָׁא עִלָּאָה, לְעֵילָּא לְעֵילָּא. וּבְגִין דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא אִתְרְשִׁים בִּתְלַת, אוֹף הָכִי כָּל שְׁאַר בּוּצִינִין דְּנַהֲרִין מִנֵּיהּ, כְּלִילָן בִּתְלַת. עוֹד, עַתִּיקָא אִתְרְשִׁים בִּתְרֵין. כְּלָלָא דְּעַתִּיקָא בִּתְרֵין. הוּא כִּתְרָא עִלָּאָה דְּכָל עִלָּאִין, רֵישָׁא דְּכָל רֵישֵׁי. וְהַהוּא דַּהֲוֵי לְעֵילָּא מִן דָּא, דְּלָא אִתְיְדַע. כַּךְ כָּל שְׁאַר בּוּצִינִין, סְתִימִין בִּתְרֵין. עוֹד עַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא אִתְרְשִׁים וְאַסְתִּים בְּחַד, וְהוּא חַד, וְכֺלָּא הוּא חַד. כַּךְ כָּל שְׁאַר בּוּצִינִין, מִתְקַדְּשִׁין, מִתְקַשְּׁרִין, וּמִתְהַדְּרִין בְּחַד, וְאִינּוּן חַד.

Transliteration

Please use a Transliteration tool to read the Aramaic Verses. This enhances the energy transfer since it uses both sight of the Hebrew Letters and Sound as well. You may find a transliteration tool on the dailyzohar website or through an internet search for "Hebrew Transliteration".

Translation

This Atika, NAMELY ARICH ANPIN, is present in three heads included inside one head, AS TOGETHER THEY ARE ONE HEAD OF ARICH ANPIN, and that one higher head, NAMELY THE UNKNOWN HEAD, THE HEAD OF ATIKA, is high up, NAMELY, ABOVE THE THREE HEADS OF ARICH ANPIN. And since Atika Kadisha manifests in three HEADS, THE SECRET OF THE THREE COLUMNS, so do all the candles, namely Sfirot, that radiate from it manifest in three. Moreover Atika Kadisha manifests in two, because Atik in all is in two: 1) it is the supernal Keter of all higher beings, the head of all heads; 2) and also that HEAD above it, NAMELY the unknown HEAD. So do all the candles manifest in two. Furthermore, Atika Kadisha both manifests and is hidden in one, THAT IS, ALL THE LIGHTS WITHIN IT ARE INCLUDED IN THE REIGN OF THE LIGHT OF CHASSADIM ALONE. It is one and everything is one. So are all the other candles sanctified and connected and revert to one, and are one.

chanoch's Commentary

One of the most difficult teachings in Kabbalah is how 10 Sefirot are actually One God; How 4 Phases are actually One; How the world of Atzilut is actually included in the lower 3 worlds? This pasuk is teaching us do not ask these questions just accept this premise and all things fall into place with respect to how do things work in our world. Remember all creation follows the 4 phases when relating to a process. All things fall into 3 columns which are essentially 2 columns - Right and Left; since the center column has both right and left in balance.
