Rising Above Our Temporary Existence

Question: What is the essential difference between life in spiritual attainment and our current existence?

Answer: Our current life is limited in time, consciousness, and the options we have. Our whole life is an escape from suffering [1].Since there is almost no pleasures in life, any way of slightly minimizing our suffering is felt as pleasure.

What pleasure can there be if a person constantly looks for a way to be satisfied, to be filled, and to sustain himself? How can we speak about happiness when we are constantly advancing toward death?

I don’t see anything good in that. Therefore, I don’t understand what you can enjoy and why to try to keep on living in this condition. The wisdom of Kabbalah [2] doesn’t say we should give up the way we are living, but it suggests we rise above it to attain eternity and perfection.

Question: We are talking about the soul, about the Creator [3]. Why do people seem not to hear us?

Answer: A person doesn’t feel a need to reveal the Creator or the soul because he is immersed in corporeal worries.

Although people do show some interest in this issue, our world is scrutinized from a totally egoistic perspective, which has nothing to do with the real soul.

There is some desire to hear what is said about it, but a person has no desire to discover his soul and to join the general system called the soul.
