Editing Notzer Chesed (section)

== Its Essence ==
It is explained that the two main corrections related to influence are "Notzer Chesed" and "V'nakeh," from which Abba Ila'ah (Supernal Father) and Ima Ila'ah (Supernal Mother) draw nourishment. As brought in Etz Chaim, Abba and Ima draw from the mazalot (spiritual channels) of Arich, Abba draws from the eighth mazal and Ima from the thirteenth mazal. Mazalot are aspects of hair alone. The concept is like the metaphor of a child nursing from its mother's breast - the child's existence has already been formed in the mother's womb, and what it nurses from the mother's breast affects the growth and multiplication of the child's limbs. Similarly, the meaning of "Abba draws from the eighth mazal" is that after Abba has already been emanated from the light of the Emanator, the growth and multiplication of Abba's light occurs through drawing from the eighth mazal.

This growth enables it to be in the aspect of a partzuf (spiritual countenance) and mochin d'gadlut (expanded consciousness), and then it can influence downward, allowing its Netzach-Hod-Yesod to become mochin (intellect) for Ze'ir Anpin, and from Ze'ir Anpin to the Nukva, Chochmah Tata'ah (Lower Wisdom), Malchut of Atzilut, to enliven the worlds of Beriah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah. Without this growth in the aspect of partzuf and mochin d'gadlut, it would not be able to influence downward through the descent of levels. Only after drawing from the eighth mazal, which comes from Chochmah Stima'ah (Concealed Wisdom) as mentioned in the Idra Zuta, from there the light of Abba grows and can influence downward. As is known, only one who is greater in wisdom can explain concepts to others, meaning that something higher can descend and lower itself further down. Therefore, after Abba draws from the mazal that extends from Chochmah Stima'ah, which is a very high level, it can influence downward. But before this, even though Abba and Ima clothe the arms of Arich Anpin, which are Chesed-Gevurah-Tiferet of Keter, they still did not have this growth and could not influence the mochin downward to Ze'ir Anpin and Nukva. This growth occurs only after receiving from Chochmah Stima'ah, which is much higher than the level of Chesed-Gevurah-Tiferet of Keter.

This tikkun serves as part of the ongoing daily service. For example, every day in the first blessing of the Shemoneh Esreh prayer, with the words "Koneh HaKol" (Owner of all), we draw from the mazal of Notzer to the mazal of V'nakeh.
