			===Atziluth—The Archetypical World===
	The first and highest of the Four Worlds, corresponding to [[Fire]] of the [[elements]], Chiah of the [[Parts of the Soul\|soul]], and [[Yod]] of the [[Tetragrammaton]], is called '''Atzilut'''. The term Atzilut is usually translated as "Emanation", but literally means "closeness". This is the "World", or primordial Substance which is the first emanation out of [[God]]'s unique and pure Essence, and is therefore the "World" closest to Divinity. This Substance corresponds to Philosophic Fire, which - as opposed to literal fire - is best described as "living light". The Substance of "living light" is intangible and has no definite, specific Form, but its dynamic qualities of vitality and illumination are distinguishable. Life and light are the two qualities that must be postulated as being prevalent in any Divinely creative act. Since these qualities can be discerned as having existence distinct from Essential Divinity, the emanation of the primal "living light" (Substance) is the preliminary phase of Divine Creation. This phase is what is called Atzilut. As this is the primal spiritual Substance from which all other matter evolves, it corresponds to that which is called [[Chiah]] in the evolution of souls.

	The next phase, corresponding to [[Water]] of the [[elements]], Neshamah of the [[Parts of the Soul\|soul]], and the first [[Heh]] of the [[Tetragrammaton]], is called the World of '''Briah''', which translates as "Creation". Like [[Neshamah]], the function of Briah is to define specific Form and function in the amorphous energy of Atzilut. This is the evolutionary stage where matter begins to condense, "solidify", and to acquire specific, distinguishable qualities of it's own. This is because the Divine Unity is indivisible. Specification, which is division from that Unity, cannot be classified as Divine because the condensation of primal Substance into specific Form begins to occur at this stage. Thus, Briah corresponds to [[Neshamah]], the stage where the human soul acquires individual personality and identity.

	==Yetzirah—The Formative World==		===Yetzirah—The Formative World===
	It must be understood that Briah is a purely embryonic stage where specification and differentiation are applied only in an abstract sense, identifying the potential function of specific Forms and forces. The actual separation and division of these different qualities occurs in the next phase of evolution, called '''Yetzirah''', which literally translates as "Formation". The world of Yetzirah corresponds to [[Air]] of the [[elements]], Ruach of the [[Parts of the Soul\|soul]], and [[Vau]] of the [[Tetragrammaton]]. As [[Air]] is generally associated with the intellect, this is the stage where differentiation of qualities (analysis) is applied to matter, and where these qualities are combined (synthesis) and Formed into archetypal conceptual compositions with a view towards various specific applications. This is the function of the human intellect with which an individual theoretically experiments with various courses of action with the intellect and comes to a decision that the individual thinks will best serve the primal motivation or desire. Yetzirah corresponds to [[Ruach]] in that this is the stage where a specific compound is identified and given personal existence in the same way that an individual human personality is given identity and necessitates a physical vehicle.

	Here we come naturally to the fourth and final stage of development, called '''Assiah''', which translates as "Action". The World of Assiah corresponds to [[Earth]] of the [[elements]], Nefesh of the [[Parts of the Soul\|soul]], the human body, and the [[Heh\|final Heh]] of the [[Tetragrammaton]]. Assiah is the actual physical universe in which all things live and carry out their functions. This is the final proving ground where all the preceding Worlds and Spheres are actualized. The results are judged according to how well they perform their intended purpose, which is conceived in Briah and gestates and takes Form in Yetzirah.
