Keser Eliyon is the intermediary between the Emanator and the emanated. Its inner dimension is the lowest level of the Ein Sof (which itself contains several aspects, and is called Atik Yomin), and its outer dimension is the Keter of the world of Atzilut, called Arich Anpin. | Keser Eliyon is the intermediary between the Emanator and the emanated.

It is elevated above Atzilut (similar to how engraved letters are superior to written letters), but in relation to the Infinite Light (Ohr Ein Sof) before the Tzimtzum, it is said in the Tikunim that "Keter Elyon, although it is pure light, refined light, '''it is dark''' before the Cause of all causes." | It is elevated above Atzilut (similar to how engraved letters are superior to written letters), but in relation to the Infinite Light ([[Ohr Ein Sof]]) before the Tzimtzum, it is said in the Tikunim that "Keter Elyon, although it is pure light, refined light, '''it is dark''' before the Cause of all causes." | ||

Here we've only touched upon how the roots of the Sefiros exist within them. This is comparable to the soul, which in addition to its essential powers, also contains "encompassing powers."Parallel to "Arich" is the "World of Tohu," also called the "World of Nekudim," where the manner of "drawing down" and revealing the Sefiros occurred in a different form, which led to the "Breaking of the Vessels" and the "falling" of the sparks to the worlds of Beriah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah, from which the Klipos were formed.
