So, we used to have a single soul, which broke into six hundred thousand pieces, and now, re-uniting together, these pieces form a new system that is equivalent to the original one, multiplied by six hundred thousand: these are six hundred thousand single souls, existing among each other, imposing on each other’s souls. This means that we get a system, which is absolute, because each of its elements is the main one, defining, and connecting all the rest and at the same time, allowing all the others to get connected to it.
We don’t understand what happened within this one generation that didn’t have these media communications that we have acquired in the last fifty to seventy years. It has totally changed our whole attitude to everyone. Now there’s nothing in the world that doesn’t affect the whole world.
The problem is that we are not in this uniform system as an integrated part. We don’t want to be simply a part within the system. By that attitude, we ruin the system. Meaning, we have come to a good situation by being connected, but at the same time we see the evil. We are not built for a world that is evolving within the uniform system and yet in which we ourselves still haven’t evolved. We are missing the internal development (mental, spiritual) for even the physical world that we’re in. We built systems that are interconnected and yet we, who operate them, are not connected. That’s why all those systems are correct. That is why you can’t say that this progress (civilization and their technologies) are not good, but rather they are used contrary to these systems. They are systems of connections between everyone, and we are detached from everyone.
Man is lazy. He does not want to do anything. Even if only it is to move his little finger, man only does something out of necessity. If I have no choice, then I run around, do all sorts of things, wake up in the morning to go to work, all in order to obtain something. I have no choice in this. Nature exerts pressure on us and compels us to move. This is called “unconscious development.” It occurs out of necessity, as in any other part of nature. This is exactly how molecules and atoms all interconnect; all the processes in nature take place only under the influence of pressure on all possible levels and degrees.
There is a law that rules nature and man harshly, and that the Source of that law is a mighty Force called the Creator. From His Perspective, everything in reality is already as perfect as can be. Yet, as long as we are not perfect, His Guidance cannot be felt as perfect. The Creator formed our initial corrupted situation deliberately, so as to give us a chance to choose perfection as something desirable and attain it by ourselves. How? Through the method called “the wisdom of Kabbalah.”
When we realize how reality affects us, and how we relate to it, we will stop corrupting what we mustn’t; we will not miss out on opportunities to do what must be done, and all our actions will be conscious and correct – in accordance with the law of the universe. Then this world and the world we will discover, will coexist in complete harmony.
But in the meantime we can only do wrong. Only in retrospect can we see that we have corrupted rather than corrected. Today, we have no way of refraining from erring. Humanity is at a dead-end and storming on, inflicting more and more pain and harm.
Man is born in our world through the joining of a physical body with its spirit, which can at one moment be at a certain level in the spiritual worlds. Why then is there a need to start from the beginning in the physical world?
All the births in our world signify a correction of the corporeal level of desires. Even if in the past a person studied Kabbalah and reached a certain level, but not a final one, he must be born as a baby, suffer, learn, arrive at Kabbalah from the beginning, but very quickly return to the level of his previous life and then move on. There is never a repetition, only new corrections, additions to the previous life.
