ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Since Malchut, Partzuf BON of the world of Atzilut, is completely corrected
already and does not require any further corrections, her Partzuf BON ascends
to the level of Partzuf SAG of the world of AK. Thus, Malchut completely attains
the properties of Bina.
However, meanwhile, after the great Zivug in Atik, but before the ascent of
Partzuf BON to SAG, the Light of Atik stops shining. As a result, the two Temples
were destroyed. The two temples are the two Lights of Hochma: the Light of AVI,
Ohr Hochma de Haya that shines in the First Temple, and the Light of YESHSUT,
Ohr Neshama that shines in the Second Temple. And all the Light that Israel
received from Atik disappears.
However, all these destructions and disappearances of Light are corrections
and milestones on the path to deliverance and complete correction. They signify
not devastation, but creation of perfection, as they are precisely those final
corrections that bring BON back to SAG.
Since all the roots and sources of what transpires in this world exist in the
spiritual realm, and must all manifest once in our world, every spiritual root
must “touch” its branch in our world, and it does not matter when this occurs.
In the spiritual world, everything unfolds in accordance with a strict cause-andeffect
process, whereas in our world those same consequences can manifest at a
completely different time.
An example of this is the destruction of the First and the Second Temples.
While this event has already transpired in our world, in the spiritual world it
occurs only when the last stage of correction is attained. Due to the complexity
of time-transcending notions, we will examine this matter in another book.
However, one way or another, only our inner spiritual properties can become the
Temple in which we will feel the Creator and in which He will forever dwell!
At the end of correction, Ohr Haya and Ohr Neshama will be called the
First and the Second Temples, respectively. Also, until the end of correction,
Ohr Haya, which is received on the Zivug of Malchut and included in Yesod, is
called Shabbat (Sabbath), while Ohr Neshama is called Hol (weekdays). As we
can see, there is absolutely no connection between these Lights and the days
of the week in our world.
After the destruction of the spiritual Temples (the disappearance of Light),
they will be recreated from Above by the screen of Bina, called “Heaven.” This is
because the screen of Partzuf SAG is a property of absolute mercy and is completely
unrestricted in its actions, desiring only to bestow and refrain from receiving Ohr
Hochma. Thus, it is beyond the influence of any restrictions and limitations.
