Nefesh HaChayim, Reb Itzele's Long Annotation

For it is only in the world of Ahtzeeloot and above467Above the world of Ahtzeeloot are the worlds of Ahdam Kadmone (about which only a little is known) and the endless number of the “worlds of Ein Sofe” (about which nothing is known other than their existence) that each aspect adheres itself, via its interior, in its inner aspect to the level above it, and also unfolds/flows down to impress a continued existence to the level that’s below it. And just as, metaphorically, it’s the nature of fire to convert all physicality to spirituality (as is known from the context of sacrifices), even so it results in a wind. And the nature of the motion of wind is to result in fire, but even so it enters into rain and maintains it. And the nature of water is to be drawn after wind with any of its movements, and even so it descends to the low place, to the dust, to cause it to sprout all forms of rain.
