Hebrew translation:
37. תְּלַת רֵישִׁין אִתְגַלְּפָן, דָּא, לְגוֹ מִן דָּא. וְדָא, לְעֵילָּא מִן דָּא. רֵישָׁא חֲדָא, חָכְמְתָא סְתִימָאָה, דְּאִתְכַּסְּיָיא, וְלָאו מִתְפַּתְּחָא. וְחָכְמְתָא דָּא סְתִימָאָה, רֵישָׁא לְכָל (רישי) רֵישֵׁיהּ, דִּשְׁאַר חָכְמוֹת. (בראשית קמ”ז ע”א) רֵישָׁא עִלָּאָה, עַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא, סְתִימָא דְּכָל סְתִימִין. רֵישָׁא דְּכָל רֵישָׁא, (דף רפ”ח ע”ב) רֵישָׁא דְּלָאו רֵישָׁא. וְלֹא יָדַע, וְלָא אִתְיְדַע, מַה דַּהֲוֵי בְּרֵישָׁא דָּא, דְּלָא אִתְדְּבַק (לא) בְּחָכְמְתָא, וְלָא בְּסוּכְלְתָנוּ. וְעַל הַאי אִקְרֵי, (במדבר כד) בְּרַח לְךָ אֶל מְקוֹמֶךָ. (יחזקאל א) וְהַחַיּוֹת רָצוֹא וָשׁוֹב.

Zohar Haazinu
#36
Atika Kadish, also named ‘Atik Yomin’ is the supernal ‘face’ of the sefirah of Keter. The other ‘head’ of Keter is called ‘Arich Anpin’. Atika Kadisha is above Arich Anpin, which means that Atika Kadisha has a finer and light. Rabbi Ashlag explains that the higher levels have a purer light than the ones below.
The Chokmah (Wisdom) of Arich Anpin is concealed, and none buy himself can know it.
The prophet tells us that we can’t grasp this level and we can not get to a point of understanding the ‘thoughts’ that come from Arich Anpin, the supernal Keter.
Isaiah 55:8
“כִּי לֹא מַחְשְׁבוֹתַי מַחְשְׁבוֹתֵיכֶם וְלֹא דַרְכֵיכֶם דְּרָכָי נְאֻם יְהוָה”
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares YHVH.”
