Hi Carlose. Can Tifferet also be called Zeir Anpin? Yes. This is like how I might be called dad, professor, instructor, or husband – and all would be true depending on my relationship to the other person.

There’s more realization in Malchut than just that. But yes, in Malchut there is recognition of her relationship to the Giver that wasn’t clear in Phase 1. In Phase 1 the Giver was too much intertwined with her, like a candle in a flame that it’s as if, ‘hey, you’re a flame, I’m a flame.’ So there wasn’t room to see what I really am.
The point is that all one’s qualities are neutral. It doesn’t matter how bad or good they look. I have no good qualities, I have no bad qualities. Whatever doesn’t yet have a spiritual Screen is certainly bad. Whatever has a Screen is good.
Yes, the lower part of the the degree is always vessels of reception. Yet, all the vessels are there, in both cases. It just depends with which vessels he can work, and we don’t take into consideration the vessels he can’t use to bestow right now. Though they are, for now, only vessels of reception, he can as if bend them such that they somehow work in the direction of bestowal.
