Our world is the dimmest point at the heart of every ring.

The line does not descend all at once. As soon as it starts, it curves into a ring that sits close to the encircling Infinite without touching it. Touching would dissolve it back into Ein Sof. That ring is the Keter of Adam Kadmon. The line extends a little and rings again for Chokhmah, then Binah, down to the tenth ring, Malkhut. Every world has such sefirot, nested 'like onion skins', like the astronomers' spheres. Whatever is closer to Ein Sof is higher. So our material world is the innermost point, the farthest of all. The line threads every ring, carrying what each needs.
