SYNOPSIS:

We are told that the central point of the desolate world is the Other Side, and the central point of the inhabited world is the holy side, where Jerusalem is found. The Kingdom of Heaven stands on two points: one is Jerusalem, and the other is the terrestrial Garden of Eden. In the middle of that Garden is a hidden point into which a pillar is inserted from below; from there water flows that separates to the four directions of the world.

Tetzaveh: Verse 97 וְהַהוּא סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, אִיהוּ נְקוּדָה אֶמְצָעִיתָא דְּחָרִיבוּ דְּעָלְמָא, בְּגִין דְּכָל חָרִיבוּ וְשִׁמָמוֹן מִנֵיהּ, הַהוּא סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא שַׁלִּיט עָלֵיהּ. וּנְקוּדָה אֶמְצָעִיתָא דְּכָל יִשּׁוּבָא, סִטְרָא דִּקְדוּשָּׁה אִיהוּ, וְעַל דָּא, קַיְּימָא יְרוּשָׁלַם בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא דְּכָל יִשּׁוּבָא דְּעָלְמָא.

Translation

That Other Side is the central point of the portion of the desolate world, because the Other Side has power over all destruction and desolation THAT IS IN THE WORLD. The central point of that portion of the inhabited world is the holy side, WHICH IS MALCHUT. Therefore, Jerusalem is in the center of the inhabited world, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT.

    Translation

    The Kingdom of Heaven, the side of Holiness, is divided by two points: one of its own, and another that it received from the world to come, WHICH IS BINAH, WHICH IS a supernal, hidden point. Therefore, the kingdom stands on two points. Its own point is under it, which is Jerusalem, which is the center of the whole civilization. The hidden point that it received from supernal Ima, the World to Come, is the terrestrial Garden of Eden that is located in the center of the world in all its aspects, those of desolation and habitation, and all the aspects of the world.

    Translation

    Therefore, in the middle of the Garden of Eden there is a supernal point, covered and concealed, since it is unknown. A pillar is inserted from below up within that point, and from there gushes water that separates to the four directions of the world. So we find that there are three points in the world one on top of the other, like the three points in the Torah!

    chanoch's Commentary

    This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. .The 3 points are Yesod - Tiferet - Daat. The 4 diretions are right - left - above - below. This is my opinion.
