Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 110

Does a Person Who Crosses the Barrier “Build a House” from Intentions?

Beyond the barrier, building a house is no longer an action but an intention. However, we cannot build the intention to bestow without first constructing it upon the opposite intention. Otherwise, we make no scrutiny. The structure of Kedusha (holiness, bestowal) is built in opposition to the Klipa (shell, impurity). The place of destruction is where the Temple is built, not elsewhere, and not before destruction took place.

Destruction precedes construction. All destruction and shattering, including the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, took place before us, even before we were created. This is because we begin from the level of souls, and souls exist below the world of Atzilut.
