The light of the En Sof pervades this lower world through being clothed in the ten Sefirot of the Four Worlds[4].
עשיה is the desire and will to do[5]. The world of עשיה is the most lowly and final world, which are the Ophanim angels and the Mazalot, that are the root for the existence of the spirituality of the four elements of fire, air, water and earth, and the spirituality of the physical levels of inanimate, plant life and animals[6].
Malchut of עשיה is the "word of the L–rd” which vivifies and brings into this world, in its totality, including the element of dust, and the water that is below the earth[7].
After the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, in the world of עשיה there is הרגשת חשיבות מי שיש לו קבלת עול מלכות שמים (a feeling of importance to one who has acceptance of the yoke of the kingdom of heaven) After the sin, the ratio of good to evil in עשיה is רובו רע ומיעוטו טוב (mostly bad and a little good)
