All of these particulars - i.e. the particular desires for the four Worlds - were all included within the First Desire so named because it is the first level which can be consiered as already coming in a manner of influence or expression externally after the tzimtzum/lessening (the previous levels in the Upper Purity before the tzimtzum do not come in a manner of influence or expressionto the outside since they are part and parcel of the Self.) The first outside-influence is the beginning of the kav/line etc. This ‘first desire’ is the first circle after the drawing forth of the aforementioned heyuli head of the kav/line out from the reshimu/impression, this being the first issuance out of the potential heyuli of the Self.
