== Hishtalshlut HaKetarim (Evolution of the Crowns) ==

* In the evolution of cause and effect (ila v'alul), each level differs in its essence from the one above it.
* But in the evolution of the crowns, all levels share the same essence. Keter is will/desire, and the evolution of Ketarim is the evolution of wills/desires. The example given is of a person who wants a four-story house: in the general will, there are no details (only that there should be 4 floors), from this evolves the will for what each floor will be used for (Atzilut, Beriah, Yetzirah, Asiyah), in a more detailed way he wants to furnish each floor with appropriate furniture, and then comes the will for how each item should be, and so on. It is understood and obvious that the will is not the building itself - but only the '''will''' for a building, meaning, both the general and detailed will are '''will''' and not something else.
* '''And its meaning in "avodah"''' (spiritual service) is going beyond limitation. For example, the twenty percent given to charity by a person who earns five thousand a month is much less than twenty percent given by someone who earns one hundred thousand. But from the perspective of going beyond limitation, both are '''equal''' (both gave more than what is required by halacha), and on the contrary, the one who gave less went beyond his limitations more than the one who gave more.
