Editing The World of Beriah (section)

== The Creations of This World ==
In each world, one aspect of the Partzufim of the world of Atzilut is revealed. And it is said that "Ima Ila'ah (Supernal Mother) nests in three Sefirot in the Throne," meaning that in the world of Beriah, the aspect of Ima Ila'ah is revealed, which is the Partzuf of the Sefirah of Binah of the world of Atzilut. This is because in general, the world of Beriah is in the aspect of Binah and expansion, as opposed to the world of Atzilut, which is in the aspect of Chochmah and nullification.

The angels of the world of Beriah are intellectual angels. These angels are called Seraphim<ref>It should be noted from Tanya - Chapter 39 in the footnote that both the Seraphim and the Chayot are called "Chayot HaKodesh" (holy creatures), but the difference between them is that the Seraphim possess intellectual awe and love, while the Chayot possess natural awe and love. We also find other sources (including in Rambam, though it appears Chassidus rules differently from him) where Chayot are considered higher than Seraphim. This topic could be elaborated upon, but this is not the place for it.</ref>.

The dwelling place of the souls of the righteous is in the world of Beriah. It is written in the Tikunim that "Ima Ila'ah nests in three Sefirot in the Throne," which is the world of Beriah, and therefore it is the dwelling place of the souls of the righteous who serve Hashem with fear and love (dechilu u'rechimu) that are drawn from contemplation of the greatness of Ein Sof, Blessed is He.

The world of Beriah is the aspect of Yichuda Tata'ah (Lower Unity), in which creation is nullified and unified with the Holy One, Blessed is He, as described in prayer - "And the hosts of heaven bow down to You." This means that this nullification and prostration of the hosts of heaven to the Holy One, Blessed is He - is in the manner of "a being who is nullified," meaning that even though it is nullified, nevertheless, it remains an existence unto itself.

Also, the angels of the world of Beriah are in the aspect of a separate essence and existence from Divinity, and even though they are nullified and bow down before Him - nevertheless, their essence and being is in the aspect of covering and concealing the Master of the world, who is truly "there is nothing else besides Him," in the aspect of Yichuda Ila'ah (Higher Unity). And since they are not nullified in existence from the intensity of their comprehension, this shows that they are an existence of being.
