Editing The World of Beriah (section)

== Its Essence ==
The World of Beriah is the first stage in the descent of worlds from the World of Atzilut (where Ohr Ein Sof dwells in revelation since there are no created beings but only emanated ones, which are still Divinity and therefore in complete nullification all the time), to the World of Asiyah which is the most separate world, below which is the dwelling of the external forces and kelipot. As the worlds descend, the Divine light within them becomes more constricted, and they become more self-aware entities.

In particular, the descent from the World of Atzilut to the World of Beriah is an immense constriction in a manner of incomparable proportion, as the descent of light from the World of Atzilut to the World of Beriah occurs through a parsa, meaning a screen that conceals the light. The parsa hides the light of the World of Atzilut, and the light that descends to the World of Beriah is a derivative light. Due to the concealment of the parsa, the World of Beriah is a separate world, and is considered something from nothing (yesh me'ayin) relative to the World of Atzilut.

On the other hand, in this world the creating source (the World of Atzilut) is still felt, and it is called the World of the Throne in relation to the revelation of the World of Atzilut.

Similarly, although generally the World of Atzilut is considered Alma D'itkasya compared to the BYA worlds which are in the category of Alma D'itgalya, in particular (regarding the BYA worlds) the World of Beriah is also considered Alma D'itkasya, as it has not yet come into revelation. Therefore we say: "Who forms light and creates darkness," as the World of Beriah is still in the category of darkness, compared to the World of Yetzirah which is in the category of light.
