This simple will (ratzon pashut) is higher than chochmah, but it is not truth itself since it lacks a central purpose. This is where the whole creative process (seder hishtalshalus) originates. One element arouses another element of a lower kind... this is call yesh mi yesh (something from something) – almost inadvertent.
It evolves/devolves down to this lowest world. There is no limit. It goes till a level where there is hardly any sense of purpose at all... This is called chitzonius/external level that is derived from the pnimius/inner level.
Because the inner level is rooted in the limitless higher level, thus there is no limit as it extends downwards.
The limitlessness above is mentioned to point out that the inner level is an aspect of essential concealment (helem ha-atzmi).
This concealment/helem denotes a presence that is unannounced and does not need to occupy space. Its essential reality is beyond expression.
Something that comes from somewhere has an element of revelation, but something that is concealed because it is essential, is not expression dependent.
And because it is beyond limit also the external levels can associate with it.
The deeper the essence of a king, the greater is the spread of his sovereignty. The king will use any means to overcome the opposition.
