.M. 2. Three mothers Aleph-Mem-Shin, a great mystery, marvelous and hidden, which He sealed into the six rings In the first place, Aleph-Mem-Shin corresponds to the Supreme Crown original: "כתר עליון" which is a great, wonderful, and hidden secret original: "סוד גדול מופלא ומכוסה"; this is why it is called the Spirit of the Living God original: "רוח אלהים חיים". Secondly, from there derive the first three Sephiroth Chabad Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, from which derive the other six Sephiroth Ch-G-T-N-H-Y, which correspond to the six dimensions (the six Rings) of which the first three are called Fathers original: "אבות" and the other three Sons original: "בנים" from which Kingship original: "מלכות" is born.. From them emerged Air, Water, and Fire, which gave birth to the fathers of the fathers of generations.
