The word “Gulgalta” means skull. Just as the skull encompasses the brain and is higher than the brain, so too there is a level that transcends and encompasses Hashem’s Wisdom in Atzilus. That encompassing level is also called Kesser-Crown, since a crown is also above the head, similar to how the skull ecompasses the brain.
This encompassing level is Hashem’s Essential Will. Will is higher than Wisdom, as we see that a person’s wisdom and understanding are affected by what he truly wants. Someone who truly wants something will understand why it makes sense to have it, and the other way around as well.
This essential Will which encompasses Wisdom is referred to as "white” paths, since white signifies something colorless and undefined, like “white light” which contains all colors in potential but visibly is colorless. This “white” intangible level is how the Mitzvos exist in the essential Will of Hashem, which is a Will that is beyond comprehension.
which is the level of Kesser-Crown, which is Malchus of Ein Sof. ב ְחִּינַת כ ֶתֶר, ש ֶהו א מַלְכו ת ד ְ אֵין ־ סוֹף .
Malchus is the lowest aspect of any level, it is how one level descends into the level beneath it. The term “Ein Sof” means Infinite, and it refers to the Infinite Light of Hashem. “Malchus of Ein Sof” would mean how the Infinite Light of Hashem descends into the “Hishtalshelus-Order of Spiritual Worlds.”
Specifically, this “Malchus of Ein Sof” is expressed in the higher level of Kesser, called Atik. We explained previously that Atik is the Essential Pleasure of Hashem in our performance of Mitzvos and service of Hashem, which is what “motivated” Him to create the world.
The Essential Pleasure and the Essential Will of Hashem are the two aspects of Kesser-Crown, as they both transcend Atzilus. The Mitzvos are rooted in both of these levels, as they are the essential Will and Pleasuere of Hashem.
And by way of Kesser, Chochma is also drawn down. .ןֵכ ֹומְ כ הָ טַמְל ךָ שְמִּנ הֶז יֵדְי לַעְו
Therefore, the revelation of Chochma Above, which is invested in the Torah passage of “Kadeish” (Shemos 13:1-10) and written on parchment and placed inside the Tefillin and worn as a mitzvah, for example, is greater than the revelation of Chochma itself in its place Above in Atzilus, because it is drawn down by way of Kesser, which is higher than Chochma.
