It all starts with the Four Phases of Direct Light, then Shame, Restriction, and then there is the matter of a Partzuf, since it is the result of Restriction on the ordinary way of receiving.
This first Partzuf is already called the World of Adam Kadmon. World comes from a word that means Concealment. The Created Being hides the Light from itself.
There’s no concept of “Adam Kadmon in Malchut” here, unless you refer to the fact that everything is happening inside the Malchut of Eyn Sof. It’s understandable that things are getting confused, they will get sorted out.
I think you have some background knowledge that is confusing you. Where did you get ‘Tikun Olam’? The World of Correction is Atzilut, which comes later. Where did you get Partzuf? We don’t call the 4 Phases of Direct Light by that name. These are specific technical terms, so they only apply in specific places.
It’s part of the system as there’s nothing outside the system. It’s best to think that in us are two reigns, pleasure and pain. By these, He influences us. Then, because in us exists the incorporation of the qualities of Malchut and Bina, there are two kinds of pleasure: toward corporeality, and toward spirituality. One quality in us feels delight when we’re heading toward corporeality, and the other enjoys when we’re headed toward spirituality. They’re essentially warring within us. We need to see always who is winning th war.
We can’t make these assumptions because there are laws but they work by mechanisms we can’t imagine. They’re not simple like gravity, “I throw this up, it comes down.” Until we attain the spiritual system for ourselves, we won’t be able to see cause and effect, predictable results.
But in general, I have always been with my ten, and will be. And even if the faces change, it will still turn out to be my ten. Again, these things don’t work according to our brains.

This world has to purpose except to connect with the Creator. What I’m doing until I do that has been arranged perfectly. If I need to do anything else, it will become clear to the extent that I’m using all I was given, to reach the goal of life. In short, we could talk about Kabbalah revealing anything about what I’m doing in this world, only when it’s a person that is already aimed entirely at reaching the Creator with everything he’s got. In the meantime, I just need to live my life like everyone else, except that I’m studying Kabbalah and increasing my desire for the spiritual goal.
