ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

He replied that his place is much higher than his present location, for now
he himself cannot attain his own individual level. This is a result of the Upper
Partzuf descending to the place of the lower one and becoming completely
identical to it, and while there (in that state), the Upper Partzuf can no longer
attain its own level. The tower that soars in the air is Bina, Hassadim. The
Mashiach’s tower (the great tower) designates the time (state) of ascent to GAR de
AA, when Ohr Hochma is available.

89. But the place of my father’s dwelling was in the Great Sea. And he was
    a big fish that continually circled the Great Sea, from one end to the other.
    And he was mighty and he grew old, until he swallowed up all the other fish
    in that sea. And then he released them, and they were thriving and filled
    with all of the very best of the world. And it was in his power to swim across
    the entire sea in one instant. And He pulled him out and hauled him in
    with an arrow, like a warrior, and brought him to the place that I told you
    about, to the tower that soars in the air, but he returned to his place and
    disappeared in that sea.
    The concealed Zivug is called Shaar HaNun (the 50th gate). The Great Sea is
    Malchut. All the Zivugim from Partzuf Atik de Atzilut and below do not include
    the Great Sea in its entirety, all the Sefirot of Malchut, but only the first nine
    Sefirot of Malchut. Moreover, none of the Zivugim include Malchut de Malchut.
    This Sefira, Malchut de Malchut, is the only creation, because all the other
    Sefirot constitute properties of spiritual forces and desires above Malchut, existing
    in and referring to the Creator, the sole purpose of which is the correction of
    Malchut de Malchut. The only Zivug on this Malchut exists in Atik, and it will be
    revealed to all only at the end of correction.
    Rav Hamnuna-Saba emerged from this concealed Zivug in Atik; hence, the
    donkey driver calls him “my father.” And he says that his father lived in the
    Great Sea, as this Zivug was on the entire Malchut, on Malchut de Malchut, called
    the “Great Sea.”
    Yet, if one were to argue that all Partzufim make a Zivug on the Light with
    a screen that stands before Malchut, then that Zivug was made on the 50th gate,
    on all the parts of the desire, on the full depth of the Great Sea (Malchut), down
    to the very last of her desires and properties, from Keter de Malchut to Malchut
    de Malchut, from end to end of the Great Sea. Nevertheless, this occurs only
    In Partzuf Atik de Atzilut, but not below it. And this is not the donkey driver
    himself, but his father.
