Wow!! I just checked out the links, fm!! They are marvelous...
so, the columns, Jachin and Boaz, are, in some ways are phallic symbols, since creating and rebirth involves sex...
I cut this from the second link:
Looking at these levels, then it would seem we are destined, in fact, to move through the columns and into the world of relationships, where we, hopefully, will continue through our interactions and acts of selflessness and compassion, to become (second birth) a "centered human being."
....followed by continued birth of a "spiritual order."
At any rate, these passages through levels of rebirth would depend upon whether we "get it" or not, upon whether we walk WITH the guidance of Wisdom until we are "ready" for the next level of rebirth.
Sexuality, while a physical act, is clearly a metaphorical piece that "connects" us through all relationships in this plane....for rebirth comes through the act of love (spiritual coupling AND, in order to be born into this plane, physical coupling) that makes us once again...whole.

I cut this from the second link:
The main steps of the being development
Individual world
Bodily/crude order
Physical birth
Subtle/psychic order
Second birth
related to the domain of subtle possibilities of the human individuality. It consists in a psychic re-generation producing a centered human being and corresponds to the initiation to the little mysteries, accessible through the gate of mortals.
Supra-individual world
Spiritual order
Third birth
taking place in the spiritual and not psychical order any more. It gives access to the domain of supra-individual possibilities through the gate of the Gods and the initiation to the great mysteries
Looking at these levels, then it would seem we are destined, in fact, to move through the columns and into the world of relationships, where we, hopefully, will continue through our interactions and acts of selflessness and compassion, to become (second birth) a "centered human being."
