Dört Âlem ve On Sudur: İbrani Bilgelerin Kabala Öğretisi

Rightly, therefore, and entirely according to the testimony of Scripture, those Hebrew doctors teach that those four aforementioned worlds exist, namely: the Aziluthic, which is Christ's; the Briatic, which is of souls; the Jeziratic, which is of those angels not yet perfected; and the Asiatic, which is of men clothed in an external body. The Aziluthic world, however, as it is the most noble of all, so also it is the greatest and is only one, even if it is distinguished by the Hebrews under the number of ten emanations, the distinction of which emanations, however, is merely modal, not essential. Furthermore, the Jeziratic world, from which the Asiatic world has sprung as from its root, permeates, pervades, and penetrates the entire Asiatic world everywhere with its essential and vital rays. The Briatic world also everywhere imbues the entire Jeziratic and Asiatic world with its own essential and vital rays; and finally, the Aziluthic world not only imbues, permeates, and penetrates all three lower worlds with its own essential and vital rays, but also embraces them in its own bosom as a mother does her offspring, most intimately.
