Rav Ashlag reedited the “Etz Chaim” which is the definitive Lurianic work on essence and cosmology. To this he added a commentary transposing the somewhat abstract notion of “receptacle&” (Kli) into the experientially more accessible term “desire” (Ratzon) in all its many permutations. This work is known as the “Talmud Esser Sphirot.”
