The purpose of all aspects of Arich Anpin is to strengthen Kindness and sweeten Judgment. There is also a revelation of Arich Anpin’s power with particular force that removes Judgment altogether. This is when the Forehead of Favor is revealed.
Further to our discussion of the Seven Repairs of the Head, we will now discuss the difference between them.
The purpose of all aspects of Arich Anpin… We have already discussed how Arich Anpin brings about a sweetening of Zeir Anpin’s stern judgments (see Opening 94). …is to strengthen Kindness and sweeten Judgment… It is the right side of Arich Anpin – the male aspect – that gives sway to Kindness so that Judgment does not operate, while the left side – the female aspect – sweetens Judgment with Kindness.
